Filtered an apparent Telegram Open Network or TON Roadmap, the network that would be developing the messaging service to implement its own blockchain and cryptocurrency.

One of the most important rumors with which we closed 2017, was the supposed ICO of Telegram, of which absolutely nothing was known and that we took with a grain of salt at this time. The reality is that last year the Initial Cryptocurrency Offerings managed to raise millions and there are many platforms that are interested in the blockchain market. Telegram Open Network or TON, will very possibly be a decentralized currency, possibly open source and with a high degree of privacy, this last important aspect of the messaging application.

TON already leaked last year in a supposed video developed by the company and where the volume of work of Telegram was commented, which has 180 million active users, half a million registered users every day and about 70.000 million messages to the day. This would lead the company to develop its own blockchain network, which would already have a solid foundation, thanks to the messaging application. The only but is, possibly some very bold claims are made, such as the ability to handle millions of transactions every second, infinite fragmentation to avoid network congestion, instant off-blockchain transactions, and support for billions of users. and thousands of decentralized applications. Very daring everything.

Officially there are no details, but an anonymous source would have provided cryptovest, exclusive data, such as details of what this token will be like and the TON Roadmap. According to this Roadmap, TON will have a minimum viable test network, stable implementation and the launch of a Telegram wallet this year, while in 2019 additional services will begin to be implemented.

According to this information, the Telegram ICO would arrive around March 2018 and the native token will be called Gram, which will have an approximate value of $ 1.2. Subsequently, a period of consolidation of this token will begin and also, according to the source of this specialized media, the tokens will begin to be released during the first quarter of 2019. The idea of ​​a token through decentralized DNS that implements additional services, wallet and even , your own exchange, among others, is a great idea.

The data makes us think that the brave idea that wants to revolutionize the cryptocurrency market will be based on the existing messaging service. Possibly TON is based on Telegram and thus have millions of systems that validate operations, by processing small information packages, that do not saturate and damage the terminals and that reward users. This is speculation, but it is not crazy.
