Telegram’s TON OS to Go Open Source on GitHub Tomorrow
Telegram’s blockchain operating system, TON OS, which is planned for launch on Google Play market and Apple's AppStore, will be open sourced tomorrow.
Telegram recently delayed their open network, TON, and their cryptocurrency, GRAM, once again. There is one related project that has not experienced these setbacks, however. TON OS, an operating system for the TON blockchain, will soon get an open source release.
The project’s core infrastructure developers, TON Labs, are planning to open source the main components of the TON OS on GitHub tomorrow. Mitja Goroshevsky, CTO at TON Labs, confirmed the news to Cointelegraph on May 6.
TON Labs to issue a token known as TON Cash within a month
As reported by industry publication, ForkLog, the release includes TON Node in the Rust programming language, command line interface, TON Multisignature Wallet smart contract, as well as tools for launching TON validators. The report notes that within a month, TON Labs also plans to issue its decentralized browser, Surf, its staking pool, DePool, and the token known as TON Cash.
In conjunction with the TON OS open source release, TON Labs is joining the Free Software Foundation (FSF), a major free software movement. As such, all the components of the TON OS are being launched as a free software. According to the developers, the idea of a permissionless blockchain in a closed source is absurd. TON Labs reportedly felt that joining the FSF will help them maintain free use of the application as well as the TON blockchain.

If essentially most Telegram users see the actual Pavel Durov's arrest through the censorship lens and the war in Ukraine let us not forget Telegram had allways the intention to capitalise on the infastructure and the mass of it's worldwide users, it chose to develop TON cryptocurrency, here are some reminders :
Telegram shut the project, Telegram Open Network (TON), after a court battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, offering investors partial refunds. The $1.7 billion token offering was one of the largest initial coin offerings in history. The fight with the SEC, which said the tokens, called grams, were unregistered securities, became crypto's biggest legal battle with the U.S. regulator.

In May 2020, Telegram announced that it would no longer support the project, blaming the U.S. regulator. Before quitting, however, Telegram made TON’s code open source. The GitHub repository and the official website went radio silent after that, with one exception.
In early July 2020, a new feature was added to the blockchain code: “testgiver” contracts that provided a way for users to obtain pre-mined tokens using a proof-of-work algorithm.
That allowed anyone who could set up a node to “mine” some tokens without buying them, although such a feature was not supposed to be a part of TON, which by design was coded as a proof-of-stake blockchain.
That proof-of-work option provided a chance for one of the TON offspring to exist.

TON Proxy ( The Open Network )
A network proxy and anonymizer layer designed for TON nodes, TON Proxy is akin to the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) and facilitates the creation of decentralized VPN services and blockchain-based Tor alternatives. This capability enhances online privacy and offers protection against censorship towards the facilitation of decentralized applications which may be more resistant to censorship. As of September 30, 2022, TON Proxy has been made compatible with HTTP Proxy.
TON DNS
Launched on June 30, 2022, TON DNS operates similarly to domain names associated with other cryptocurrencies, offering ".ton" as its domain zone. The program assigns human-readable names to accounts, smart contracts, services, and network nodes. This service simplifies the process of accessing decentralized applications by allowing users to use short and simple domain names rather than long strings of alphanumeric characters. Domain names can also be associated with wallet addresses
