MEXC Ventures, a subsidiary of MEXCs global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC, has announced a significant investment in The Open Network, the largest layer-1 investment the firm has ever made. This investment works alongside a strategic partnership with The Open Network (TON) Foundation. This symbiotic partnership represents the shared vision of both companies in promoting global Web3 accessibility by lowering the barriers to entry.
MEXC Ventures investment, the highest amount it has committed to any layer-one blockchain, is just one part of MEXCs broader efforts to bolster the growth of TONs ecosystem. MEXC Ventures investment support of TON-based projects, such as Megaton Finance, TONPlay, Fanzee, and Sonet, is already well underway, and the venture firm plans to continue funding TON-based mini apps and projects. MEXCs exchange will also provide marketing services and promotion for the TON-based projects they list on their platform. To further empower a commitment to The Open Network, MEXC exchange will also introduce 0% trading fees for Toncoin and plan to provide a TON collateral lending service in the near future.
TON Foundation acts as a bridge, connecting nearly 800 million monthly active Telegram users to Web3 and true asset ownership. The team is dedicated to transforming TON into an accessible platform as a simple gateway to Web3, enabling more users to acquire cryptocurrency assets swiftly and conveniently. With the support of MEXC Ventures, TON Foundations goal is to catalyze the creation of a Web3 ecosystem within the Telegram app transforming the social messenger platform into a massive traffic entry point for easy access to crypto assets.
By working with MEXC, we will bring global access to the decentralized Web3 ecosystem in Telegram, said Justin Hyun, Director of Growth at TON Foundation. Our Foundation is committed to promoting a user-centric experience for The Open Network community. MEXCs support significantly strengthens our potential to build new tools and services for developers and applications that make crypto feel indistinguishable from social media for users.
TONs native cryptocurrency, Toncoin, is used for executing smart contracts, utilizing decentralized applications (dApps), and participating in governance on TON blockchain. Additionally, a portion of Toncoin has been allocated to the TON Foundation to encourage and support the development of the ecosystem. To date, the TON ecosystem boasts a multitude of applications, spanning wallets, DeFi protocols, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), games, NFTs, cross-chain bridges, and social, giving it a well-established foundational infrastructure.
This investment underlines MEXCs strong conviction in TON blockchain in building a Web3 super-app ecosystem on Telegram, said Steve Yun, President of TON Foundation. We are confident that the TON ecosystem and MEXC will grow together as we build for the next market cycle of bull runs.
