.ton domain: a crypto address that is unforgettable

The .ton domain provides a readable name in the blockchain, linking to wallets, websites, or smart contracts, simplifying user experience. Issued as an NFT, it offers true ownership and decentralization, preventing unauthorized access. An annual TON balance is required to maintain the domain, allowing lost domains a second chance.

Abstract generation in progress

Imagine: instead of a long string of characters (EQDZ3FVcaCjwbL4IEtfnWPokJilaPUdqzHNwv1_GUV_U-Pt0) you simply have your name on the network. This is exactly what the .ton domain provides.

What is it really?

In short, this is your human-readable name on the blockchain that can be linked to a wallet, website, or smart contract. Instead of remembering long addresses, people simply know your name.

Why NFT?

The domain is issued as an NFT - this means that you truly own it. Unlike regular domains ( where there is an administrator who can block everything ), .ton domain is decentralized. No one can simply take it away.

The only nuance

Every year, it is necessary to top up the domain balance with a few TONs to extend it for another year. If this is not done, the domain goes up for auction. It is done specifically so that lost domains have a second chance.

Except in emergency situations when it is necessary to remove a domain – then a general network vote is decided.
