WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article TON (blockchain), along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard or the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Add more TVM networks

I suggest to add more information about networks that came from Original TON:

Requested move 9 May 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved as uncontroversial (non-admin closure) ExtorcDev (talk) 09:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Telegram Open Network → The Open NetworkThe Open Network – Native TON community doesn't refer to TON as Telegram Open Network and existing name of the article sometimes causes confusion in the conversations. TON is listed at different exchanges and as of 12:58, 9 May 2023 [] on the 28th place by Coinmarketcap under the name of "The Open Network" Mylongusername (talk) 12:59, 9 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Diverging Diamond ^{To the left! To the right!} 14:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} (please mention me on reply) 18:04, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

I would like to reiterate my request for the move of the 'Telegram Open Network' (TON) article to 'The Open Network'. I initially requested this move based on feedback from the native TON community and the current listing of the network on various exchanges. As I mentioned previously, as of 12:04, 17 May 2023, TON is listed on the 26th place 1 by Coinmarketcap and on the Toncoin token page [2] blockchain is referred to under the name of "The Open Network".

The current title can cause confusion as the TON community doesn't refer to TON as Telegram Open Network. It is important that Wikipedia reflects the most current and accurate information, and in this case, that would mean changing the name of the article to align with the widely accepted name within the community and on financial exchanges.

I understand that page moves require consensus, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have this discussion. I kindly urge those who have not yet participated in the discussion to please provide your thoughts and perspectives. This decision will greatly affect the accuracy and usability of the article, and your input is highly valued. Mylongusername (talk) 12:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Add more information about Everscale

suggest adding more information about the Everscale concept (as a continuation of the idea of Pavel Durov under a different look), which includes DeNS, Drivechain, Ever SSI, SMFT protocol, and REMP technology.

I also suggest mentioning the investment by Venom Foundation in Everscale, as it signifies ongoing development. Kraken Dead (talk) 22:09, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Concerns regarding promotional tone and sourcing in Tonstakers section

Hi everyone,

I'd like to raise a few concerns about the current "Tonstakers" section in the article. While it's important to document notable projects within the TON ecosystem, this section may currently violate several Wikipedia content guidelines:

1. Promotional language: The section includes terms such as "leading protocol", "trusted validators", and "key features", which appear to reflect marketing language rather than a neutral, encyclopedic tone (see WP:PROMO and WP:NPOV).

2. Lack of independent sources: Most of the citations currently used are primary sources — the project's website, FAQ, and social media — without support from independent, reliable secondary sources (see WP:RS and WP:SELFSOURCE). This raises verifiability concerns.

3. Undue weight: The Tonstakers section is significantly longer and more detailed than coverage of other liquid staking protocols or DeFi integrations on TON. This may create an imbalance in tone or perceived notability (see WP:UNDUE).

I’d like to suggest: - Rewriting the section with a more neutral tone - Trimming or removing promotional claims that cannot be verified by independent sources - Ensuring coverage is proportionate to the subject’s weight within the broader context of the article

Looking forward to hearing thoughts or alternative proposals from others in the community. Open to helping rewrite the section collaboratively if there's agreement.

Thanks! -- David Fish (talk) 13:21, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi. FYI: Tonstakers section has been removed; Belle Femme Emmo (talk) 08:55, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Blatant promotion

Look at the mention of people: Anatoliy Makosov and Kirill Emelyanenko on article text. Looks not eligible according to wiki policies. Trumpcoiner (talk) 09:48, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Removed Ston.Fi Paragraph

It was like if on Solana (blockchain platform) whole paragraph about some crookie DEX based on that blockchain. Belle Femme Emmo (talk) 12:28, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

{coi|September 2024|date=August 2025} possible resolve

Since I removed Everscale, STON.Fi, TG Premium, TG Ads, Makosov and other non-sourced content (WP:SYNTH) I have likely managed to clean up COI content that was added by people clearly associated with Telegram. Belle Femme Emmo (talk) 09:05, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

{Expert needed|Cryptography| date = October 2025| ex2 = Computing}

The topic is interesting, but previous editors probably got confused coz of the confusion with Gram. I could try rewriting it in a draft if that's okay. Belle Femme Emmo (talk) 09:08, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
