TON Accelerator Debuts Incubation Program for Crypto Startups on TON
- TON Accelerator has debuted a new incubation program.

TON Accelerator has launched a new incubation program, TON:Acc, for promising crypto startups building on The Open Network (TON) blockchain.
The program’s debut follows the network’s considerable growth in 2024 amid challenges. Per DeFiLlama, TON’s total value locked (TVL) surged from $13.5 million in January to over $350 million in September as the number of its active addresses surpassed Ethereum’s. At the same time, TON suffered two outages in August due to a spike in transaction volume following the meme coin DOGS launch.

Despite the challenges, TON Ventures is keen to support the network’s growth by providing financial support and strategic guidance to five high-potential projects in the TON ecosystem, enabling them to bring their ideas to fruition and navigate the market effectively.
