**PRESS RELEASE**
**Taipei, Taiwan – July 4, 2024** — The Open Summit, the premier TON event of the summer, is set to make waves in the global TON community. Hosted by TONX and backed by the international TON network, this major summit will be held from August 6-8, 2024, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center TaiNEX2 as part of ABS2024. As the pioneering partner for TON, TONX plays a crucial role in helping developers advance their applications for the future of Telegram and TON.
Under the theme “TON Summer,” this year’s summit will unveil significant announcements from the TON community. Taipei’s dynamic TON and Telegram community make it the perfect backdrop for The Open Summit. Attendees will have the chance to hear from influential figures such as Steve Yun, President of the TON Foundation; David Mak, CEO of Catizen; Dr. Awesome Doge, Co-Founder of TONX; Jeff Ren, Partner at OKX Ventures, and other notable leaders from the TON ecosystem.
Telegram, with its user base exceeding 900 million, has been hailed as “crypto’s adoption machine.” In February 2024, Telegram launched its ad revenue-sharing program for channel owners, igniting a flurry of activity within the TON ecosystem and opening new avenues for developers. At The Open Summit, participants will gain insights into leveraging the Telegram-TON synergy for their projects through various practical sessions. Attendees will also explore how to develop Mini Apps and marketing strategies to tap into Telegram’s vast user base.
