TON is a cryptocurrency. The high speed of transactions is a main feature of TON. Cryptocurrencies are implemented on early blockchain platforms due to the low speed of transactions. They are more suitable for investments than for the usage as a payment tool. For instance, Bitcoin can provide only 7 transactions per second for all users while Ethereum can provide only 15. The TON blockchain platform is expected to process millions of transactions per second. It should become a crypto-analog of Visa and MasterCard.
Why are they free?
10% of the TON mass allocated to a nonprofit organization that maintains the operating capacity of the infrastructure.
