It claims about 0.4-second block times and 0.6 seconds to finality, with Gram transfers costing about 0.00039 Gram and USDt transfers about 0.001 Gram, and fees that are fixed regardless of network load. It says Telegram integration gives access to over 1B active users, that a public test verified 100K+ TPS, and that the mainnet handled 700K+ new wallets per day during peak loads. ## Article Speed and Scalability That makes possible to process up to millions of transactions per second and serve hundreds of millions of active users and millions of applications. Intuitive User Interfaces That enable an average user to easily buy, store, and transfer value, as well as use decentralized apps in a natural way. An Engaged User Base Telegram integration gives blockchain technology unprecedented reach among its 1B+ active users. Sub-Second Latency ~0.4s block time and ~0.6s time to finality make TON transactions feel instant. Near-Zero Fees Gram transfers cost ~0,00039 Gram and USDt transfers cost ~0,001 Gram. All fees are fixed and do not depend on network load. Scalability & Performance TON has verified 100K+ TPS public test and has already handled 700K+ new wallets per day during peak loads on the mainnet. Dynamic Sharding As the load increases, the mainnet automatically splits into shardchains, and merges back together when the load decreases.
