Toncoin fees to drop 6x as TON moves toward feeless transfers
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov says Toncoin fees will fall sixfold within one week as part of the MTONGA roadmap. The TON network upgrade will reduce the transaction fee to about 0.00039 TON (≈$0.0005). Durov also claims the new fee level will stay fixed even during network congestion—unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, where fees typically rise with traffic.
The MTONGA plan follows an earlier step that already improved the chain: TON reportedly became 10x faster, with block rate up 6x and transactions “practically instant.” Durov now teases that most transactions could become fully feeless soon, with “Zero commission.”
At the time of writing, TON is trading around $1.30 and is down more than 8% over the past week. Traders may watch for short-term volatility around the fee-change rollout, but the long-term narrative is continued network usability gains and lower cost for activity on TON.
Toncoin fees (and TON’s push toward feeless transfers) are the key market catalysts in this update.
Bullish
Toncoin fees 将在短期内显著下调，并且据称无论拥堵程度如何都保持固定，这会强化 TON 的“低成本、可预期”使用体验。类似的叙事在以往链上升级中通常会带来两类交易反应：第一，事件公布与落地前后资金会提前定价，推升短线情绪与波动；第二，若费用下降能实质提高链上活跃度，长期更可能转化为更强的需求预期，从而支撑估值。
需要注意的是，文章同时提到 TON 近期价格回撤较明显。若市场已对“低费”预期提前定价，短期可能出现先涨后回的情形；但由于 Toncoin fees 的下降幅度（6x）较大且目标时间明确（约一周内），更容易触发“升级兑现”的交易窗口。总体而言，这更偏向正面催化，因此判断为 bullish。
