⚙TON Core Roadmap for 2025 H1

The TON Core developers launched the official channel @toncore for technical updates. Among their first posts was the roadmap for the first half of the year.

Here’s what their team plans to implement in the coming months:

🔹 Workchains 2.0 and Scalability

TON is preparing for a major network update called Accelerator Mainnet Upgrade. Key changes include:
- Nodes will now track only the masterchain and specific shardchains, rather than the entire network. This will reduce hardware load.
- Tasks will be processed in parallel, increasing transaction processing speed.
- New mechanisms will make the network handle any load stably.

🔹 New Tools for Validators

The following updates are planned to improve validator operations:
- Creation of Telegram bots for notifications about validator state and critical events.
- A web dashboard providing up-to-date performance metrics and status updates.
- Simplified documentation and onboarding for new participants through AMA sessions.

🔹 zkSNARKs and Privacy Enhancements

Introducing zkSNARKs technology will make transactions more private and reduce the amount of data needed for processing. This will boost network speed and ensure user confidentiality.

🔹 Toncenter API: New Features for Developers

API updates will make interacting with TON more user-friendly:
- Ability to simulate transactions before sending them.
- Simple action-based statements will replace complex codes, for example: “Swap 10 USDT for 10 DOGS.”

🔹 Layer 2 Payment Network

A Layer 2 solution called Payment Network is being deployed for instant transactions with minimal fees. Currently in beta testing, it will eventually enable:
- Instant transfers
- Simple asset swap

🔹 Exploring Sidechains

TON is also considering separate blockchains for specialized tasks, such as high-frequency trading.

💡What does this mean for users?
A faster, scalable, and reliable network with improved privacy. Validators will receive more tools enabling stable operations, while developers will earn new opportunities to build user-friendly products on the TON platform.
