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.
- To learn more about different aspects of TON blockchain and its underlying ecosystem check [documentation](https://ton.org/docs)
- To run node, validator or lite-server check [Participate section](https://ton.org/docs/participate/nodes/run-node)
- To develop decentralised apps check [Tutorials](https://ton.org/docs/develop/smart-contracts/), [FunC docs](https://ton.org/docs/develop/func/overview) and [DApp tutorials](https://ton.org/docs/develop/dapps/)
- To work on TON check [wallets](https://ton.app/wallets), [explorers](https://ton.app/explorers), [DEXes](https://ton.app/dex) and [utilities](https://ton.app/utilities)
- To interact with TON check [APIs](https://ton.org/docs/develop/dapps/apis/)

## 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.
