Network speed on $TON Isn’t just a network metric, it’s a factor that directly influences user behavior. On most major blockchains, there’s a noticeable delay between an action and its result: you send a transaction, then have to wait for it to be processed and executed. On $TON, this pause isn’t just imperceptible, it’s so brief that you’d have to try really hard to notice it.

Following a recent network update transactions are confirmed in about a second and blocks are created every ~400 milliseconds which is dozens of times faster than any other network.

In practice this means that in DeFi for which the network is renowned any action no longer feels like a process but rather like an operation on a super-fast computer that processes everything in fractions of a second. You click on something and get the result with minimal delay.

This is especially important for exchanges and trading on large platforms like STONfi. Speed combined with the massive Omniston protocol offers enormous advantages. For example transactions are processed almost instantly slippage is reduced and you can react to the market as quickly as you're able to do so without any barriers.

That is why I am confident that the $TON network itself is far from reaching the peak of its potential. Projects like STONfi with their vast development base will continue to improve this network by listening to their users' feedback and influencing the broader cryptocurrency market.
