The Open Network (TON) Introduces Encrypted Transaction Messages

The Open Network (TON) has released a new feature that allows users to send encrypted messages on the blockchain. The feature, which was announced on July 3, 2023, is designed to provide users with a more secure and private way to communicate.

To send an encrypted message, users simply need to enter the recipient’s TON address and the message itself. The message will then be encrypted using end-to-end encryption, meaning that only the sender and recipient will be able to read it.

The new encrypted messaging feature is a significant improvement over the previous messaging system on TON, which did not offer any encryption. This means that messages sent on the old system could be read by anyone who had access to the blockchain.

The new feature is also more secure than other messaging systems that rely on third-party servers to store messages. With TON’s encrypted messaging, messages are stored directly on the blockchain, which makes them more difficult to hack or intercept.

The TON Foundation, which is the developer of the TON blockchain, says that the new encrypted messaging feature is a “major step forward” for the network. The foundation believes that the feature will make TON a more attractive platform for businesses and individuals who need to communicate securely.

The new encrypted messaging feature is currently available on the TON testnet. It is expected to be rolled out to the mainnet in the coming months.

Benefits of the new encrypted messaging feature:

  • More secure: Messages are encrypted end-to-end, so only the sender and recipient can read them.
  • More private: Messages are not stored on third-party servers, so they are more difficult to hack or intercept.
  • More personalized: Messages can be encrypted with a specific recipient in mind, making them more personal and meaningful.

Conclusion

The new encrypted messaging feature is a significant improvement over the previous messaging system on TON. It provides users with a more secure and private way to communicate. The feature is currently available on the TON testnet and is expected to be rolled out to the mainnet in the coming months.
