Flow vs Ton

Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up for consumer apps and the digital assets that power them. The network runs on a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism with a unique "multi-role" architecture that solves the blockchain trilemma, balancing scalability, efficiency, and cost.

FLOW ($FLOW) is the native utility token that is used for:

• Fees for processing transactions and storing data.
• Buying, selling, and trading assets on Flow
• Staking and delegating to secure the network

Flow tools include:

• Cadence, a purpose-built smart contract programming language designed for consumer-grade applications
• Full EVM equivalence, allowing anything from Ethereum to work on Flow
• Protocol-level account abstraction and mobile support for onboarding new users
• Cross-chain interoperability with the wider web3 ecosystem
• Developer hub with comprehensive documentation and tools

The Open Network (TON) is a decentralized and open internet platform made up of several components. These include: TON Blockchain, TON DNS, TON Storage, and TON Sites. TON Blockchain is the core protocol that connects TON’s underlying infrastructure together to form the greater TON Ecosystem. TON is focused on achieving widespread cross-chain interoperability, while operating in a highly scalable secure framework. TON is designed to process millions of transactions per second (TPS), with the goal of eventually reaching hundreds of millions of users moving forward.
