💎NFTs on TON

NFTs on TON are shifting from speculation to tools for access, identity, and rewards inside Telegram.

Early NFTs proved on-chain digital ownership but were highly speculative. Since 2024, NFTs have been used as loyalty credentials, tickets, and participation badges. And now they are evolving with NFT 2.0 on TON.

Why TON in 2025:
▪️Scalable Layer 1 with low fees and deep Telegram integration
▪️Telegram-native marketplaces, mini-apps, and wallets like Tonkeeper and Wallet in Telegram

TON NFT 2.0 standards:
▪️TEP-62, TEP-64, and TEP-66 define NFT cores, collections, and royalty logic
▪️Mint Platform and wallets can flag royalty_violation when terms are bypassed

Looking to 2026, TON Foundation is scaling to support billions of NFT interactions. And NFTs act as portable records for rewards, access, and memberships across mini-apps
