The company intends to use the funds to support a variety of projects across the TON ecosystem. Led by Alex Plotvinov, Founder, the fundraising platform will support a variety of projects across the TON ecosystem, which was born to empower billions of Telegram users with genuine Web3. Originally introduced by the Telegram team inheriting its freedom and openness ethos, it has been run as an open-source community project since 2020. Tonstarter is incubated by First Stage Labs, a TON ecosystem venture builder. Advisors of the platform include Tal Kol, TON Ambassador and founder of Orbs, an open, decentralized and public blockchain infrastructure executed by a secure network of permissionless validators using Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus, and Justin Hyun, Head of Incubation at TON Foundation.
