This production-grade implementation of the TON protocol is designed for cloud-native infrastructure and large-scale validator operations.
Key highlights:
• Deployment: Container-first architecture with Docker and Helm, enabling node launch in under 10 minutes.
• Management: Nodectl provides a unified control plane for elections, staking, governance, and analytics.
• Security: Private keys are never stored unencrypted, with HashiCorp Vault integration and architectural separation between execution and custody.
Deploying one node or a hundred requires the same operational effort.

Unfortunately, due to the Middle East conflict and safety conditions in the UAE area, we have made the decision to cancel Gateway Dubai, originally scheduled for May 1 and 2, 2026. This was a difficult call, but the safety and well-being of our community always comes first.
If you purchased a ticket to Gateway through Luma, Moongate or Tribute, or booked hotel reservations through promocode, you will receive a refund within the next 14 days. For further questions, please contact: gateway@ton.org.
We are currently examining different formats to produce a Gateway event before the end of this year. An announcement will be forthcoming in the near future. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Payments shouldn’t require every builder to implement their own infrastructure.
Across Telegram apps, this often meant building wallets, checkout flows and settlement logic independently.
TON Pay helps streamline that
One SDK. A ready-to-use solution for Mini Apps, bots, and backend services. One-time payments, recurring payments, and subscriptions. Non-custodial, so users keep control of their funds.
Build faster, without rebuilding the same payment stack.

A new report from IdentityHub looks at Telegram as an emerging interface layer for AI.
Instead of separate apps or dashboards, AI agents can operate directly inside chat, enabling faster workflows and simpler user interaction.
For teams building on TON, this highlights new opportunities around bots, Mini Apps and AI-driven services.
