The TON Network has announced a sixfold reduction in transaction fees, equivalent to approximately $0.0005.

BlockBeats News, April 24, The Open Network (TON) underwent a major update to its economic framework, confirming that the network-wide transaction fees will be reduced by six-fold, bringing the cost of a standard transaction to around 0.00039 TON as a fixed fee, equivalent to approximately $0.0005. TON's new fee structure will remain strictly fixed and unaffected by network load. This adjustment is the second phase of Telegram founder Pavel Durov's ambitious "Make TON Great Again" (MTONGA) roadmap.

Earlier on April 9, Pavel Durov had already announced that the TON blockchain had been upgraded, with speeds increased by 10x, block generation speed improved by 6x, and transactions achieving instant, sub-second finality.

In addition to reducing transaction fees this time, Pavel Durov outlined a long-term vision in the roadmap: to ultimately transition the TON blockchain to a structure where most user transactions are essentially feeless. The ultimate goal of this strategy is to nurture an environment where microtransactions (such as content tipping, small cross-border payments, and in-app purchases) can occur smoothly, eliminating the high cost barrier typically plaguing decentralized protocols. By removing financial barriers to entry, the TON team hopes to capture a larger share of the over one billion Telegram user base, thereby evolving into a global hub for decentralized digital commerce.
