Also: Abstract Datagram Network Layer
ADNL (Abstract Datagram Network Layer) is TON's own networking protocol — the equivalent of TCP/IP for the blockchain. All node-to-node communication (validators, full nodes, light clients) happens on top of ADNL.
ADNL uses addresses derived from Ed25519 public keys, is independent of IP routing, and resilient to IP changes. DHT, RLDP, and ADNL tunnels are all built on top of it.
The unique identifier of an account or contract on a blockchain.
Automated Market Maker — algorithmic pricing through a liquidity pool.
A group of transactions finalized by validators and chained to the previous block.
Bag of Cells — the binary serialization format for structured data and smart contracts in TON.
Centralized exchange — custodial exchange (Binance, OKX, Bybit).
Decentralized Autonomous Organization — on-chain governance via token-holder voting.
