What is TON Labs?

TON Labs believes that decentralization will bring the necessary changes to the way the world is being run today. All TON Labs’ internal processes are predicated on a merit based system. Widely known as an underrated token by the crypto community, due to its current stance of active validators compared to its circulating supply.

The community behind TON Labs believes that the principles of free software allow to effectively develop advanced, sustainable products and services that contribute to and benefit from the greater community. TON Labs is fully committed to the privacy of user data and security of its software as a mandatory condition for success, aiming to provide developer communities with a set of free software tools to build infrastructure and applications for optimal interaction with decentralized solutions.

• Several independent validators, so there is no single interested party.
