The *Telegram Open Network (TON)* is a combination of the following components:

- A flexible multi-blockchain platform (*TON Blockchain*; cf. [Chapter 2](#2-ton-blockchain)), capable of processing millions of transactions per second, with Turing-complete smart contracts, upgradable formal blockchain specifications, multi-cryptocurrency value transfer, support for micropayment channels and off-chain payment networks. *TON Blockchain* presents some new and unique features, such as the "self-healing" vertical blockchain mechanism (cf. [2.1.17](#2-1-17-correcting-invalid-shardchain-blocks)) and Instant Hypercube Routing (cf. [2.4.20](#2-4-20-instant-hypercube-routing%3A-“fast-path”-for-messages)), which enable it to be fast, reliable, scalable and self-consistent at the same time.

[HIGH] Link label incorrectly styled with italics

The updated bullet now wraps the link label TON Blockchain in italics inside the Markdown link: [*TON Blockchain*](#2-ton-blockchain). The style guide explicitly forbids bold or italic styling inside link text, as it adds visual noise and makes links harder to scan (see https://github.com/ton-org/docs/blob/main/contribute/style-guide-extended.mdx?plain=1#L305-L319). This change introduces a new HIGH-severity style violation relative to main, because the prior version did not style the link label itself. Keeping link text unstyled preserves consistency, readability, and adherence to the documented rules.

- A peer-to-peer network (*TON P2P Network*, or just *TON Network*; cf. [Chapter 3](#3-ton-networking)), used for accessing the TON Blockchain, sending transaction candidates, and receiving updates about only those parts of the blockchain a client is interested in (e.g., those related to the client's accounts and smart contracts), but also able to support arbitrary distributed services, blockchain-related or not.
