Hey! TON Play is a platform for Web3 games on the TON blockchain.
Our main goal is to help game devs launch successful and high-demand projects on our marketplace.
We provide support and consultations to all teams entering our acceleration program.
Web3 is the next phase of the Internet and technological evolution. It’s based on blockchain and other decentralization tools (when there’s no centralized entity). We are only at the dawn of web3 development!
P.S. Before Web3, there were Web1 (static information websites) and Web2 (social networks, search engines).

At its core, blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that stores data of any kind. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it's totally decentralized. Rather than being maintained in one location, many identical copies of a blockchain database are held on multiple computers spread out across a network, which makes it very difficult to hack or cheat the system.
Now there are many independent blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, Near, TON, Polygon, TRON, and others). They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Our platform runs on the TON blockchain.

Cryptocurrency is a blockchain currency and an alternative to fiat money (USD, EUR). The majority of cryptocurrencies function without the backing of a central bank or government. Instead of relying on government guarantees, blockchain underpins crypto operations.
A token is a denomination of a cryptocurrency. The biggest differentiation between the two is that cryptocurrencies have their own blockchains, whereas crypto tokens are built on an existing blockchain. Tokens can serve a multitude of functions on the platforms for which they are built, including participating in DeFi mechanisms, accessing platform-specific services, and playing games.
Materials to understand cryptocurrency and tokens better:
Traditional money is fungible tokens because it’s not important for you which banknote rests in your wallet. A 10-dollar bill is always a 10-dollar bill.
NFT is a non-fungible token existing on a blockchain. It's a unique, one-of-a-kind token that another similar token cannot replace. It’s like a certificate confirming the right of possession (a picture, an in-game item, a ticket, and so on).
Play-to-Earn games are games where players can take real ownership of their in-game assets in the form of NFT and where they can earn in-game tokens with the possibility of exchanging them for other cryptocurrencies in the future. The problem with Play-to-Earn games lies in the fact that 90% of such games are built on a pyramid-shaped economic model. In other words, current players earn on newcomers, and the in-game economy crashes as soon as new players stop joining a project.

TON is a fully decentralized blockchain developed by Telegram.
Advantages of the TON blockchain:
🔹Easy access for Telegram users.
🔹Unification of standard smart contracts reduces the need for complex solutions by 99%.
🔹Speed and transaction costs: TON boasts the capability to serve all Telegram users at once.
🔹Safety: it’s a priority of Telegram and the TON blockchain.
🔹The TON blockchain project ecosystem: users can interact with both Telegram and TON services. This forms a combined ecosystem for all projects.
