Telegram , the encrypted instant messaging service has formally released a test client for its Telegram Open Network (TON), as per files published on test.ton.org.

The freshly introduced archive of files accessible for download is a distribution of a preliminary version of the TON Blockchain Network lite consumer together with the relevant parts of the TON Blockchain Library, as per the readme info file. the event may be a simplified stable version of the lite client.

On May 25, a GitHub user apparently uploaded a version of the client. Per the readme file on GitHub, the client — if designed properly — connected to a full node for the TON blockchaintestnet and sent some queries to that.

Apart from the lite client itself, users also can install a configuration file for smart contract development, that connects the lite client to a special server. Users so will begin making new smart contracts, audit the state of existing sensible contracts, send external messages to smart contracts, among different choices. Users also can deploy Fift to compile, execute, and rectify smart contracts locally, the file reads.

Fift may be a new programing language for TON that was released last week. The language is specifically designed for interacting with the TON Virtual Machineand developing managing TON blockchain smart contracts.

Telegram reportedly launched a non-public beta testing of the TON blockchain to a restricted range of world developers in April. whereas testing didn't offer any specific outcomes, 2 anonymous testers discovered that the blockchain demonstrated an “extremely high transaction speed.”
