This is not even an exhaustive list of what we achieved in 2022. A lot of new people and development teams joined TON, and a lot of new services and products were created.

Clearly, we have made a quantum leap forward this year, just as we did in 2021 when we resurrected the TON project.

Despite significant volatility in the crypto industry and in the wider world, we continue to consistently move forward and create a massive and truly global blockchain network.

Let's do something fantastic again next year!
