TON Foundation Selects Axelar’s Mobius Development Stack for Interoperability

The TON Foundation has selected Axelar’s Mobius development stack as an interoperability solution, aiming to enhance The Open Network's connectivity with other blockchain networks.

According to a press release, TON developers plan to use the Mobius development stack (MDS) to enable asset transfers between TON and other blockchains and to facilitate the development of cross-chain decentralized applications.

> “Axelar MDS is an ideal choice for a TON interoperability layer: it’s an open, developer-friendly stack that enables secure, one-click integration for building apps across networks,” said Anthony Tsivarev, director of ecosystem development at the TON Foundation.

The integration also seeks to prevent fragmented liquidity, ensure assets are not isolated on different chains, and reduce user confusion by providing a unified cross-chain experience.

TON developers aim to leverage Telegram’s nearly 950 million active users and mini-apps to allow users to interact with various services without leaving the application. Recently, Telegram-based games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin have drawn millions of users with the promise of earning crypto tokens issued on TON.

However, the TON ecosystem has previously lacked user-friendly interoperability solutions, hindering seamless asset transfers across various chains. The core developers intend to address this issue with bridges like Axelar.

Axelar is an interoperability platform that connects multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Cosmos, and Polkadot. Its MDS stack provides the necessary tools and infrastructure to facilitate secure interoperability across networks.
