• The TON Foundation has introduced an on-chain encrypted messaging feature on the TON blockchain.
• The feature allows users to send encrypted messages during transactions, providing greater scalability and transaction throughput than other options in the Web3 ecosystem.
• The new feature makes it possible for users to encrypt their messages end-to-end, enabling only the recipients to read the messages.
TON Blockchain Introduces On-Chain Encrypted Messaging Feature
The Open Network (TON) announced the release of its on-chain encrypted messaging feature on Monday, July 3rd. In a tweet from the network’s developer, TON Foundation, the new feature makes it possible for private messages to be sent between TON users.
Enhanced Scalability and Transaction Throughput
TON is a blockchain network forked from Telegram’s code, which was taken over by the TON Foundation prior to its mainnet launch in 2020. According to the Foundation, it offers greater scalability and transaction throughput than other options available within Web3 ecosystems. With this new feature enabled, users can now send messages in transactions that are fully encrypted end-to-end so that only recipients will be able to read them.
Personalizing Transactions with Encryption
TON core developer Anatoly Makosov commented that this latest cryptocurrency news enables “personalization” of transactions as with this new feature; “When sending Toncoin, Jettons or NFTs on TON you have always been able to include a text for the recipient such as ‘for coffee’ or ‘happy birthday,‘ thereby personalising the interaction”. He further added that if any kind of apocalypse occurs rendering traditional messenger servers useless then TON could act as a reliable method of private communication safeguarded by encryption technology.
Encrypted Messages Already Available in Retail Wallet Apps
Encrypted messaging is already available in multiple retail wallet apps including MyTonWallet which provides secure means of communication between users involving no third party oversight whatsoever with utmost privacy ensured due to its integration into blockchain networks such as Ethereum and EOSIO blockchains.
Conclusion
The introduction of on-chain encryption messaging services by TON will enable better scalability and improved performance for blockchain networks along with providing more secure methods of communication via Web3 applications such as wallets and exchanges helping ensure user privacy while using these services .
