The Open Network: Technological Breakthroughs of the Fifth Generation Blockchain
As a flagship of contemporary blockchain technology, The Open Network has garnered widespread attention in the cryptocurrency field for its groundbreaking architectural design. This project, led by an open-source community and officially supported by Telegram, is redefining the possibilities of blockchain in large-scale applications.
TON's core innovation lies in its multi-chain structure, which includes a main chain and up to 2^32 work chains, each of which can split into 2^60 shard chains. This three-dimensional design breaks through the transaction throughput ceiling faced by previous generations of blockchains. Compared to Bitcoin's 7 transactions per second and Ethereum's 15-30 transactions, TON theoretically can handle millions of transactions per second while maintaining network decentralization and security.
As of January 2026, the circulation of TON

TON is not just a cryptocurrency
Have you heard of a project called The Open Network (TON)? This network, also known as Toncoin in the blockchain world, is currently attracting a lot of attention.

Investors are often overwhelmed by a dizzying array of technical indicators when analyzing charts. Today, we will discuss a timeless tool—the Stochastic Oscillator, also known as the KD indicator. This indicator is widely used because it helps traders accomplish three key tasks: accurately timing entries and exits, capturing price reversal points, and assessing whether the market is overbought or oversold.
Core Logic of the KD Indicator
What exactly does the KD indicator do?
Simply put, the KD indicator was developed in 1950 by American analyst George Lane. Its purpose is to track changes in market momentum and trend reversals. The values range from 0 to 100, representing the current stock price's relative position within a specific time period. In other words, the KD indicator answers the question: "Compared to a past period, where is the current stock price in its price range?"
