The Open Network (TON) is a sharded Layer‑1 originally designed by Telegram, featuring dynamic workchains and instant cross‑shard consensus through the Vertical Blockchain mechanism. The TON Storage and TON DNS services extend functionality beyond payments, whereas the Tap‑to‑Transfer feature has onboarded millions of Telegram users. A 2025 governance vote approved jetton fee burns to make TON mildly deflationary.
THORChain is a Tendermint‑based cross‑chain liquidity protocol where nodes bond RUNE to secure pools of native L1 assets like BTC, ETH and ATOM. Swaps execute via continuous liquidity pools with slip‑based fees, and the ‘Streaming Swaps’ feature splits large orders to minimize price impact. The 2023 mainnet added Savers vaults, letting depositors earn single‑asset yield without IL exposure.
