TON OS announced to launch applications based on the TON blockchain platform

TON Labs announced TON OS is an open infrastructure for running applications based on the blockchain platform TON (Telegram Open Network). So far about TON OS almost nothing it is not known, besides that it should soon be in the Google Play Market and the AppStore. Most likely it will be a virtual java-machine or a software shell that implements the launch of applications for a whole set of TON services within itself.

TON can be considered as a distributed superserver designed to host and provide various services based on the blockchain and smart contracts. Smart contracts are created in the Fift language developed for TON and executed on the blockchain using a special TVM virtual machine. From the clients, a P2P network is formed, which is used to access the TON Blockchain and the operation of arbitrary distributed services, including those not related to the blockchain. Descriptions of the service interface and entry point are published on the blockchain, and service-providing nodes are identified through a distributed hash table. TON components include TON Blockchain, P2P network, distributed file storage, proxy anonymizer, distributed hash table, platform for creating arbitrary services (similar to sites and web applications), domain name system, micropayment platform and TON External Secure ID (Telegram Passport).
