TONANO is the premier inscription protocol on the TON blockchain, providing a platform for issuing and distributing digital assets that conform to the TON‑20 standard.
Overview#
TONANO offers toolkits that leverage TON’s network capabilities for creating, managing, and trading tokens. The protocol defines a JSON‑based operation format for deploying, minting, and transferring tokens, with values expressed in nano units (nine decimal places).
Core Features
- Standardized token lifecycle – deploy, mint, and transfer operations follow a consistent schema.
- Hexadecimal indexing – data is stored using hex encoding to ensure immutability and reduce gas fees.
- Community‑driven – developers and users can collaborate on decentralized applications built atop the platform.
Launch and Network Impact#
TONANO was launched in December 2023, which led to a >500% increase in mainnet activity【>】. The first token issued on the platform, $NANO, serves as the utility token for the TON‑20 ecosystem【>】.
