All Eyes on TON: Updated Channels, Smarter Communication

TON Foundation

As TON continues to grow rapidly across regions and communities, staying connected with the right information is more important than ever. That’s why we’re simplifying and streamlining our social media channels—to help users, builders, and partners keep pace with updates, opportunities, and innovation across the TON ecosystem.

Whether you’re here for breaking ecosystem news, IRL event alerts, builder programs, or everything in between, our updated channel structure ensures you’re always in the right place.

To help everyone get up to speed quickly, here’s a summary of what’s changing:

✅ Quick Summary: What’s Changing

Old Channel Name	New Channel Name	Platform Handles	Focus Areas
TON Community	The Open Network	Telegram: @toncoin, @toncoin_chat X: @ton_blockchain	- TON Blockchain news - Partnerships and integrations - Milestones and metrics - Core ecosystem events - Major updates from Champion projects
TON Society	TON Community	Telegram: @toncommunitychannel, @tonchathq X: @toncommunityhq	- Project campaigns (e.g., airdrops, rewards, incentive programs) - Updates from Contender projects
Regional Hubs	TON [Region] Hub	Telegram: @tonsseahub, @toneastasiahub, @toneuropehub, @toncishub X: @TONSSEA, @TONEastAsia, @TONEurope	- Local builder engagement - Regional hub updates, projects, and opportunities
Society Builders	TON Builders	Telegram: @tonbuild	- Developer updates (e.g., contests, hackathons) - Project and founder updates (e.g., ecosystem support, grants, programs) - TON Hubs activities

Additionally, the inactive The Open Network Telegram channel, which has not been in use since June 2024, will officially be retired to reduce redundancy and streamline communication.

No action needed: If you already follow these channels, you’ll automatically remain part of the updated ones. Just look out for the new names and avatars!

🗺️ Regional Hub Realignment

To increase regional impact, we’ve consolidated several TON Hubs:

TON SSEA Hub (South and Southeast Asia) → merging India and SEA
TON EA Hub (East Asia) → merging Hong Kong and Korea

Other active hubs include TON Europe Hub, TON CIS Hub, and the upcoming TON US Hub.

TON Hubs are regional units supported by TON Foundation. Each hub will be focused on engaging local builders, building strong partner networks, and providing tailored support, localized updates, and access to regional events and opportunities.

🔮 Next Steps

You’ll see updated names and avatars reflected across Telegram and X. We’ll also be updating pinned messages and bios to help everyone navigate this transition smoothly.

We understand change takes a bit of getting used to—but this streamlined structure is designed to help you stay better informed, more connected, and fully engaged with everything happening across the TON ecosystem.

Thanks for building the future with us.
