Pavel Durov announced that TON's newly released AI-ready toolchain delivers a tenfold improvement in smart contract development speed, a claim that positions the network as a serious contender for the next wave of on-chain application builders.
The toolchain's AI integration is the key differentiator — by embedding AI assistance directly into the development workflow, TON is targeting the friction point that has historically slowed DeFi and dApp deployment on competing chains. A 10x speed claim, if it holds in production, compresses the gap between idea and deployed contract from days to hours.
For a network that already benefits from Telegram's 900 million-user distribution layer, a dramatically lower barrier to smart contract development could accelerate ecosystem growth faster than most Layer-1 rivals can match through raw liquidity incentives alone.
