Traffic blessing and longest ecology TON all the way

TON IS WORKING ON A PLAN TO SUPPORT MEME AND ENRICH THE ECOSYSTEM, AND THE 2024 ROADMAP FOR FEE-FREE TRANSACTIONS IS UNDOUBTEDLY A KEY MEANS TO UNLOCK HUGE TRAFFIC.

According to the statistics of the TON official website, the entire ecosystem currently contains 602 application projects, covering DEX, Staking, Lending, Wallet, browser, bridge service, NFT collectibles and longer fields.

It is clear that this symbiotic relationship between TON and Telegram, as well as Telegram's large user base and rich Mini Program ecosystem, has shown great potential for development. With the gradual adoption of the TON ecosystem by Telegram's user base and the introduction of long new features in the future, TON is expected to attract more long users and developers to its ecosystem.

In fact, there has never been a shortage of narrative mining in the encryption field, and the Ton ecosystem relies on the huge number of users of Telegram to radiate a large number of non-crypto world users, and Notcoin has obtained a large number of user traffic of the Ton chain with the help of simple and crude gameplay, so that the TON project party sees a convenient path to break the circle.

It is foreseeable that in the short term, the value enhancement of high-traffic MEME coin will be one of the important ways to break the circle of the public chain ecosystem, and in the future, TON will also unlock more long and break the circle with a large number of users and technological innovation, bringing more long opportunities and value to participants.
