Chorus One to Debut TON Pool at Token2049 Dubai: Revolutionizing Staking Infrastructure for The Open Network
- TON Pool is already live and set to integrate with regulated institutional partners.
- Chorus One will showcase the features of TON Pool at the Staking & Institutional Social – Dubai Edition, co-hosted by KuCoin and FordeFi, alongside Token2049.
- TON Pool accepts as little as 10 TON, compared to up to 600k TON required to run a native validator node.
Chorus One, a veteran premier provider of regulated non-custodial staking services across more than 40 blockchains, will unveil the recently launched TON Pool and its broader staking offerings at the 2025 Token2049 Dubai. Chorus One will collaborate with KuCoin crypto exchange and FordeFi, a blockchain-based cybersecurity and DeFi infrastructure platform focused on secure digital asset custody and transaction management, to unveil TON Pool at Chorus One’s flagship event, Staking and Institutional Social – Dubai Edition, taking place at TODA – Theater of Digital Art, following the first day of Token2049 Dubai, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
Furthermore, Chorus One has been active in the broader institutional staking landscape since 2018, but has in the recent past laid significant focus in the United Arab Emirates due to legal crypto clarity.
For instance, Chorus One has held closed-door workshops with key stakeholders in the United Arab Emirates, including a presentation at the Dubai Global Blockchain Congress.
Top Reasons Why Chorus One Launched TON Pool
The Open Network (TON) has grown to a top-tier layer one (L1) blockchain bolstered by the deep integration of the Telegram messaging platform, which has around 1 billion users globally. As of this writing, The Open Network has more than 400 validators distributed across more than 26 countries, with around 764 million TON staked.
However, becoming a sole validator on the TON network, amid the highly complex global regulatory framework, has become a huge challenge. Moreover, a TON network validator is required to access high-performance hardware on a highly available network, in addition to a minimum of 600k TON staked.
In a bid to help all types of investors access TON staking rewards, Chorus One designed the TON Pool to counter the current barriers, by providing a regulated and scalable staking solution.
“TON Pool represents a critical milestone in enabling institutional adoption of TON staking. We’ve eliminated the operational and regulatory hurdles that have historically limited institutional participation, and built an infrastructure solution that is ready to scale with TON’s explosive growth,” Brian Fabian Crain, CEO and Co-founder of Chorus One, noted.
Key Features
The Chorus One team unveiled TON Pool to fill the gap created by the complex staking infrastructure on the TON blockchain. TON Pool accepts as little as 10 TON, with unlimited delegators per pool, compared to existing TON staking solutions that have a cap of 40 addresses.
TON Pool offers automated validator selection and stake distribution to streamline the staking process. In a bid to attract more customers, TON Pool offers partial withdrawals to enhance flexibility to stakers at all times.
TON Pool is heavily regulated, including in Europe through the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. Most importantly, the Chorus One team had the smart contract for TON Pool audited by Sparebit to enhance security and transparency.
