Finally, the whitepaper for TON Teleport BTC was released in the public domain, and reportedly, it will debut on the Ton mainnet network in Q2 2025.
TON is a popular Proof-of-Stake (PoS) crypto network that emerged as the top crypto network for Telegram users, as this blockchain network debuted in the crypto space via Telegram-based bot services. Wallet, a crypto wallet supported in Telegram’s ecosystem, helps Telegram users to transfer cryptocurrencies.
On 28 Nov 2024, the white paper for TON Teleport BTC was released publicly, showing that the decentralized, trustless bridge that enables users to securely transfer Bitcoin between the Bitcoin and TON blockchains without relying on central intermediaries is ready to debut on the Ton network.
The developed system will work under a fully decentralised ecosystem, where BTC tokens on the TON network will be fully backed by real BTC on the Bitcoin network.
The availability of BTC on the TON network will allow crypto people to use it for various DeFi applications with full transparency and autonomy.
