TON Foundation was recently registered as a Swiss non-profit organization and is 100% community-owned. The Foundation has partnered with Telegram, in a move that could see the messenger become “the app for all things web3”. The Foundation is specifically targeting Telegram’s over 800 million users, coupled with its scalability, security, and speed to onboard the masses.

TON is on the ascending trajectory, with its user registration growing by over 165% in the past year. This calls for not only an efficient network, but also an assurance that user accounts are protected from insecure or malicious activities. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that TON Foundation has roped in Elliptic and Telegram.
