Chorus One, a provider of institutional-grade staking infrastructure, has announced the launch of its TON Pool with the goal to change the way large-scale entities participate in blockchain ecosystems. With a fully compliant, scalable, and secure infrastructure, Chorus One is expanding institutional engagement in the TON ecosystem at a time when regulatory expectations and operational demands are higher than ever.
The Open Network, initially developed by Telegram, has seen unprecedented adoption thanks to its seamless integration with the popular messaging app and its rapidly expanding user base. Despite this surge in popularity, staking on TON has remained largely inaccessible to institutions. High capital requirements, manual processes, and scalability issues have deterred many potential participants.
TON Pool addresses these barriers by lowering the staking threshold to just 10 TON—compared to up to 600,000K required by traditional TON staking mechanisms. The platform’s architecture allows for unlimited delegators, eliminating the existing cap of 40 addresses per pool that has previously constrained growth and participation.
Operational efficiency is another target of TON Pool. Automated validator selection and stake distribution streamline what were once labor-intensive processes, freeing institutions from the complexities typically associated with TON staking. Additionally, partial withdrawal support offers greater liquidity options, a key feature for institutional treasury management.
From a compliance perspective, TON Pool stands out. Built without reliance on Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs), it provides pure delegation, ensuring alignment with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) standards set by the European Union. Smart contracts have been fully audited by Sparebit, further enhancing security and transparency.
Already live and operational, TON Pool is set to onboard a variety of regulated institutional partners, including custodians, exchanges, and asset managers, signaling a strong market demand for a compliant and efficient staking solution.
Chorus One’s unveiling of TON Pool also reflects a deep understanding of evolving regulatory landscapes and institutional needs. The announcement was revealed during the first day of TOKEN2049 Dubai, and the company has been actively shaping conversations around regulatory-compliant staking. Through closed-door workshops with key stakeholders in the United Arab Emirates and presentations at major events like the Global Blockchain Congress in Dubai, Chorus One has positioned itself as a thought leader and strategic builder in the space.
By creating TON Pool with direct input from regulatory discussions, Chorus One ensures that its infrastructure remains future-proof as global standards continue to develop. This approach not only meets current institutional requirements but also helps to build trust among partners who seek long-term, compliant staking solutions.
The TOKEN2049 Dubai conference offers the perfect platform for Chorus One to showcase TON Pool’s capabilities. During the event, the company is hosting an exclusive Staking & Institutional Social – Dubai Edition, co-hosted with KuCoin and FordeFi at the TODA – Theatre of Digital Art. The gathering is bringing together influential voices across staking, regulation, and crypto finance, underscoring Chorus One’s commitment to community-building and industry leadership.
