JAMTON is a cross-chain layer (parallelized layer 2) designed to connect the TON (The Open Network) ecosystem, with its 950 million Telegram users, to the Polkadot ecosystem. As a Polkadot parachain, JAMTON will facilitate seamless cross-chain communication, liquidity flow, and user interaction between the two ecosystems, enabling Polkadot-based projects to tap into the vast Telegram user base and liquidity.
JAMTON will act as a gateway, allowing TON projects and Telegram users to seamlessly engage with Polkadot's powerful infrastructure and decentralized applications.

How JAMTON Benefits the Polkadot Ecosystem:
- User Growth & Engagement. JAMTON offers a direct bridge to Telegram users, providing easy entry into Polkadot through tools like Telegram Wallet and Mini Apps, boosting user engagement and ecosystem participation.
- Increased Liquidity. By connecting Polkadot and TON ecosystems, JAMTON enables an inflow of liquidity from TON token holders into Polkadot-based projects, driving growth in Polkadot’s DeFi ecosystem and staking protocols.
Key Deliverables of the JAMTON Development
In this proposal, we plan to build the following core components of the JAMTON project:
- JAMTON is an EVM-compatible Polkadot parachain with built-in AMM DEX, order book DEX and OpenGov.
- JAMTON’s multi-chain liquid staking and restaking protocols connecting the TON and Polkadot ecosystems.
- Simplified entry for TON users and liquidity into the Polkadot ecosystem.
- Telegram Mini App for smooth interaction with JAMTON protocol and dApps.
The development roadmap is designed for 1 milestone (3 months). See detailed roadmap and deliverables in the full proposal document.
Deliverables already completed:
- The initial version of JAMTON is launched as JAMTON Testnet (in late October 2024)
- Early adopters sign-up is launched (in late October 2024):
- The initial beta version of the JAMTON mainnet parachain is launched (in late November 2024):
Funding Request
We are seeking a treasury allocation of 78,800 USDT to fund the development of Milestone 1 of the JAMTON project, a game-changing cross-chain solution that connects the Polkadot and TON ecosystems.
This amount will cover:
- Development and deployment of JAMTON’s protocol (Milestone 1).
- Infrastructure costs in the initial development phase of JAMTON.
We kindly request your support for this strategic initiative, which will position Polkadot as a more interconnected, liquid, and accessible ecosystem through the power of JAMTON.
See the full funding proposal for more details.
Given that the actual bridging will happen through two separate bridges that already function, why do you need a parachain for what you are doing?
As a user, can't I already use the TON<>ETH + ETH<>DOT bridge to bring liquidity over?
