Tokamak Network (TON)

Rank #759

Tokamak Network is a platform aimed at maintaining decentralization and security properties similar to the Ethereum Main chain, while also seeking scalability and extensibility. On it, decentralized applications can be built for specific purposes, operating within their own structures.

How the connected chain structure works

Each dApp in the Tokamak Network ecosystem can operate on its own chain. These Plasma Chains are connected to the Ethereum Main Chain through the Tokamak Protocol.

With this organization, the system allows communication with the main layer to be supported while applications maintain execution on separate chains.

What is TON's role in the operation

TON is used as an incentive for the proper decentralization of the Tokamak Plasma Chain. To open a Plasma Chain, the service operator needs to deposit TON.

If the chain operates properly, the deposit tends to increase gradually. If a technical problem arises and someone submits a challenge, the deposit may be allocated to the challenger as a reward.

Stamina and fees on the Plasma Chain

In addition to the incentive for decentralization, TON is also used to charge Stamina, described as the transaction fee on the Plasma Chain. Stamina is recharged after a defined period.

This resource does not disappear until it is withdrawn, helping to sustain the use of transactions within the chains.
