Main TON monorepo, which includes the code of the node/validator, lite-client, tonlib, FunC compiler, etc.
## The Open Network
__The Open Network (TON)__ is a fast, secure, scalable blockchain focused on handling _millions of transactions per second_ (TPS) with the goal of reaching hundreds of millions of blockchain users.

## Updates flow
* **master branch** - mainnet is running on this stable branch.
Only emergency updates, urgent updates, or updates that do not affect the main codebase (GitHub workflows / docker images / documentation) are committed directly to this branch.
* **testnet branch** - testnet is running on this branch. The branch contains a set of new updates. After testing, the testnet branch is merged into the master branch and then a new set of updates is added to testnet branch.
* **backlog** - other branches that are candidates to getting into the testnet branch in the next iteration.
Usually, the response to your pull request will indicate which section it falls into.
## "Soft" Pull Request rules
* Thou shall not merge your own PRs, at least one person should review the PR and merge it (4-eyes rule)
* Thou shall make sure that workflows are cleanly completed for your PR before considering merge
## Build TON blockchain
### Ubuntu 20.4, 22.04, 24.04 (x86-64, aarch64)
Install additional system libraries
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git cmake ninja-build zlib1g-dev libsecp256k1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libsodium-dev
wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh
chmod +x llvm.sh
sudo ./llvm.sh 16 all
```
Compile TON binaries
```bash
cp assembly/native/build-ubuntu-shared.sh .
chmod +x build-ubuntu-shared.sh
./build-ubuntu-shared.sh
```
### MacOS 11, 12 (x86-64, aarch64)
```bash
cp assembly/native/build-macos-shared.sh .
chmod +x build-macos-shared.sh
./build-macos-shared.sh
```
### Windows 10, 11, Server (x86-64)
You need to install `MS Visual Studio 2022` first.
Go to https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ and download `MS Visual Studio 2022 Community`.
Launch installer and select `Desktop development with C++`.
After installation, also make sure that `cmake` is globally available by adding
`C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin` to the system `PATH` (adjust the path per your needs).
Open an elevated (Run as Administrator) `x86-64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022`, go to the root folder and execute:
```bash
copy assembly\native\build-windows.bat .
build-windows.bat
```
### Building TON to WebAssembly
Install additional system libraries on Ubuntu
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git cmake ninja-build zlib1g-dev libsecp256k1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libsodium-dev
wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh
chmod +x llvm.sh
sudo ./llvm.sh 16 all
```
Compile TON binaries with emscripten
```bash
cd assembly/wasm
chmod +x fift-func-wasm-build-ubuntu.sh
./fift-func-wasm-build-ubuntu.sh
```
### Building TON tonlib library for Android (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86-64)
Install additional system libraries on Ubuntu
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git cmake ninja-build automake libtool texinfo autoconf libgflags-dev \
zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libmicrohttpd-dev pkg-config libgsl-dev python3 python3-dev \
libtool autoconf libsodium-dev libsecp256k1-dev
```
Compile TON tonlib library
```bash
cp assembly/android/build-android-tonlib.sh .
chmod +x build-android-tonlib.sh
./build-android-tonlib.sh
```
### TON portable binaries
Linux portable binaries are wrapped into AppImages, at the same time MacOS portable binaries are statically linked executables.
Linux and MacOS binaries are available for both x86-64 and arm64 architectures.
## Running tests
Tests are executed by running `ctest` in the build directory. See `doc/Tests.md` for more information.
