Introduction
Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Edge has added support for TON (The Open Network), the cryptocurrency rapidly climbing the charts and now ranking as the #11 crypto by market cap, at the time of writing. With this latest integration, Edge users around the globe can easily buy, sell, swap, and hold TON directly within our app — enjoying a fully private, self-custody experience that’s aligned with the freedom-centered principles of decentralized finance.
As a crypto wallet, Edge stands apart for our emphasis on privacy, self-custody, and simplified key management. We believe that your assets should be in your control, without restrictions or third-party interference, and we’ve designed Edge with that ethos in mind. In Edge, there’s no need to entrust anyone else with your private keys or personal data — your crypto remains your own, protected by top-tier security and cutting-edge encryption.
Why Edge is Different – And Why TON Belongs Here
When we designed Edge, our aim was simple: empower users to manage their digital assets privately, securely, and effortlessly. Our app puts you in full control of your funds without compromising on privacy, so you can transact with confidence. This vision dovetails with the principles of the TON community and the broader values of the cryptocurrency movement, which emphasize decentralized access to money and digital sovereignty.
By bringing TON to Edge, we’re giving users a more accessible and private alternative to the native Telegram wallet, which, while useful for some, is unfortunately geo-restricted for many. Edge is available worldwide, ensuring that TON can be securely managed by users regardless of their location.
Freedom to Transact, Freedom of Speech
Recent events surrounding the detainment of Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, have spotlighted the critical nature of freedom of speech and the importance of privacy in a rapidly changing digital world. We at Edge strongly believe in the power of self-custody and the freedom to transact, seeing it as an extension of the broader right to free expression.
In a world where financial censorship and surveillance are growing concerns, Edge remains committed to supporting assets like TON that enable people everywhere to take control of their finances and exercise financial freedom. Privacy and autonomy in digital transactions are not only integral to Edge’s technology but core to our values.
What is TON?
TON, or The Open Network, is a high-performance blockchain that evolved from a project initially developed by the team behind Telegram. Designed for scalability and speed, TON leverages a unique consensus model that makes it suitable for everything from micro-transactions to high-throughput decentralized applications. As it continues to gain traction, TON is becoming a favorite among privacy-minded users and communities who see value in its connection to Telegram and the principles it upholds.
How to Buy and Swap TON in Edge
Whether you’re new to TON or have been following its progress since its inception, Edge makes it simple to buy, sell, and swap TON alongside other popular cryptocurrencies.
Why TON in Edge? Because Freedom Matters
In a world where privacy and self-custody are becoming ever more essential, Edge provides users with a safe, private space to manage assets like TON without boundaries or third-party control. We believe that financial freedom is a fundamental right, and TON’s alignment with these values makes it an ideal addition to Edge.
By integrating TON, we’re not just adding a popular cryptocurrency; we’re standing alongside a community that values autonomy, privacy, and the freedom to transact. With Edge, you can experience the true power of decentralized finance — where your money is your own, your transactions are private, and your freedom is paramount.
