TON has 800,000 daily users. The ticker is $TONEX.
$TONEX is the on-chain retail ticker for The Open Network. The funnel is Telegram. The settlement layer is TON. The receipt is the jetton. Every figure on this page is on-chain and verifiable: holders, liquidity, addresses, transactions.
“ TON has the architecture. $TONEX is the audience. tonex desk note
The Open Network was, by 2024, the comeback story of the cycle. Originally built inside Telegram by the Durov team in 2018, abandoned after SEC pressure in 2020, then rebuilt by the TON Foundation in plain sight. By the time Notcoin's tap-to-earn loop pushed 35 million Telegram users into a TON wallet, the chain had quietly become one of the most retail-saturated networks in crypto.
Hamster Kombat followed, peaking at 300 million players. DOGS launched on TON. USDT integrated natively through the Telegram wallet, crossing $1.2 billion in float. Tonkeeper passed a million standalone installs. Daily active addresses crossed 800,000. None of this is hype. All of it is on-chain.
What TON did not have, until $TONEX, was a single retail-facing ticker the audience could rally around. Solana had BONK. Base had BRETT. Ethereum had PEPE. Each of those tickers, on their own chain, accounted for an outsized share of new wallet activations in the months after launch. Across the L1 set, retail tickers of this kind drive roughly 40% of new wallet creation. The math is well-published.
$TONEX is the TON-native equivalent. A TIP-3 jetton on TON mainnet, set for simultaneous fair launch into DeDust and STON.fi. The contract is UNRELEASED; the CA will be published at the launch block and visible to anyone who looks. $TONEX is the trade.
The contract specifications are deliberately boring. 1,000,000,000 supply, 0/0 tax, TIP-3 jetton standard, liquidity burned at launch, mint authority renounced. Fair launch routes through DeDust.io and STON.fi simultaneously. There is no team allocation. There is no presale. The wallet that bought the first $TONEX paid the same price as the wallet that bought the millionth.
