## What it is
The main TON monorepo containing the reference implementation of The Open Network blockchain, including the node/validator software, lite-client, tonlib, and the FunC smart contract compiler. It is the core C++ codebase powering the TON (Toncoin) network.

## Use cases
- run a TON blockchain node or validator
- compile FunC smart contracts for TON
- interact with TON blockchain from an application via tonlib
- run a lite-client or lite-server to query TON
- develop decentralized apps on TON
- contribute to the TON protocol implementation

## When to choose
- you need to operate TON network infrastructure like full nodes or validators
- you are building smart contracts or dApps on TON and need the official toolchain
- you want to integrate TON blockchain access into your own software
- you are researching or extending the TON protocol itself

## When to avoid
- you only need a wallet or explorer UI rather than node software
- you are building on a different blockchain such as Ethereum or Solana
- you want a high-level SDK in JavaScript or Python without touching C++
- you need a lightweight library-only dependency rather than a full monorepo build

## Facets
