Toncoin is transitioning directly from a "low-fee public chain" to a "near-zero cost payment network," which is not just an optimization but a reconstruction of the economic model. Pavel Durov announced a key upgrade: the core change is that the fee system will be systematically compressed within the next week: the fee per transaction will decrease 6 times to about 0.00039 TON (≈0.0005 USD) and will implement a critical feature: decoupling fees from network load, making them fixed and unchanging. An aggressive step: approaching a "zero transaction fee model." In subsequent phases, most transactions will: be completely free (0 fees). This means TON is attempting to enter: transaction costs ≈0, friction ≈0, payment thresholds ≈0.
