Impact on Network Usability and dapp Adoption

Lower, fixed fees may lessen the resistance to microtransactions, gaming, and Telegram-integrated Web3 services built on TON. Besides, predictable costs of transactions enable developers to plan their budgets and users to have a better experience even during times of network congestion. At the same time, the wider crypto market may also see changes in the layer-1 chains vying for mainstream adoption and real-world utility due to such developments.

⚡️ In one week, TON fees will drop 6× — to just 0.00039 TON (~$0.0005) per transaction, fixed regardless of network load.

Roadmap Toward Feeless Transactions

Durov mentioned that most TON transactions will shortly be completely feeless. The specifics of how they will be implemented are still few, but the implication is that the removal of cost would be the main focus when it comes to everyday usage. Of course, the problems associated with keeping validators motivated, ensuring network security, and economic sustainability in the long term as the fee revenue decreases, will serve as major challenges.
