Founded in Switzerland in 2023 and backed by a global community, the Foundation funds and empowers developers, creators, and businesses through grants, technical resources, and strategic partnerships. It supports protocol development and ecosystem expansion but holds no authority over TON itself. The Open Network (TON) runs on decentralized, open-source software, welcoming contributions from all and remaining independent of central control.
