Animoca Brands Expands Investment in TON Blockchain

A Fortune crypto 40 company Animoca Brands has become the largest validator of The Open Network (TON) Blockchain, the company announced in a press release on November 28.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said:

“This strategic investment in TON is a key part of our broader commitment to help onboard the next million Web3 users by facilitating a seamless transition from Web2 to Web3.”

Animoca Brands is continuing its commitment to the TON ecosystem, assisting with the growth of third-party gaming and GameFi projects within TON’s ecosystem. The user-friendliness of TON-based dApps and TON Blockchain’s scalability are the two reasons for further investment. TON Play is one TON-based gaming infrastructure project committed for Animoca Brands’ support.

To take a deeper dive into the numbers behind TON, the Animoca digital asset team has created an analytics dashboard to visualize key metrics of TON Blockchain. The collaboration will help users to easily onboard into Web3 mini-apps. The company has been a key backer of Web3.

Additionally, two research papers that Animoca Digital Research will publish explore the potential of TON Blockchain to accelerate the mainstream adoption of crypto.
