NAUT tracks 36 TON ecosystem projects as of 4 November 2026: live company rows that carry the chain tag for The Open Network, the network Telegram designed. 29 of the 36 have a launched token, 20 carry a disclosed funding total on NAUT's record, and those 20 totals add to $556,256,000, of which $440,000,000 sits on the row for the chain itself.
How the list was cut: NAUT holds 51 live rows carrying the chain tag. 13 came out as generic multichain companies where this is 1 supported network among 5 or more, among them Tether, Ethena, Baby Doge Coin and Bitget Wallet. 2 more came out because the evidence puts them in another ecosystem: 1 row's own stored description calls it an IDO platform on Solana, and the other is Llama, whose official docs describe it as "an onchain governance and access control framework for smart contracts", with no mention of this chain or of Telegram. That leaves 36. Sector tags, chain tags, token state, round counts, disclosed totals and stored TVL below are all read from NAUT's own project database on 4 November 2026.
What was checked outside NAUT, and what was not: 15 claims drawn from these rows went to an outside source check, 14 of them on rows that stayed in the list. 4 of those 14 came back confirmed, 3 with the quote found on the page. Of the 8 funding totals in that set, 2 matched a public source and 6 did not. So read every dollar figure here as NAUT's stored record rather than a source-checked number, and note that 23 of the 36 published rows had no claim checked outside NAUT at all. The verdict table near the end names every claim that was checked.
Which TON ecosystem projects have raised the most?
These 20 rows carry a disclosed funding total on NAUT, ranked by that total, largest first. Raised is that stored total, rounded. Token holds the ticker where NAUT has one on file, Launched where the token is live with no ticker stored, and None yet where no token has launched. Every row also carries the chain tag for The Open Network; the other chains are in the multichain section below, and the heaviest investment record counts are in the sections after this table, where a record count can be higher than the number of rounds a project has announced publicly.

Those 20 stored totals come to $556,256,000, and to $116,256,000 once the $440,000,000 on the chain's own row is set aside. 2 of them were reproduced outside NAUT. Invezz reported on 30 July 2025 that STON.fi had raised $9,500,000 in a Series A, which matches NAUT's figure, and named CoinFund and Ribbit Capital as the leads. DuckChain's own site reports a $5,000,000 round backed by dao5, Offchain Labs and Kenetic Capital that with a $50,000 public sale makes up NAUT's $5,050,000, alongside its description of itself as the first consumer layer connecting this chain with EVM and Bitcoin.
How much has each TON project raised on NAUT's record?
The chart holds the 19 funded rows below $100,000,000 and leaves out the chain's own $440,000,000, which would flatten every other bar. 7 of the 19 sit at $1,000,000 or less, so most of the funded set is at pre-seed and seed size, and 2 rows,
Fanton and
Storm Trade, carry 11 investment records each for totals under $4,000,000.
Which TON ecosystem projects have a token but no disclosed round?
16 of the 36 carry no disclosed dollar total on NAUT, and 11 of those 16 still have a launched token: a live asset with no funding record to read it by. Telegram mini app projects run right through this group, from
Hamster Kombat to
Blum, and so do tap-to-earn games such as
Notcoin in the funded table above.
Token is Live where NAUT records the token as launched, No where it does not, and Ticker is the symbol stored on the row either way.
| Project | Sector | Token | Ticker |
|---|---|---|---|
| SocialFi | Live | $CATS |
|
| Meme, SocialFi | Live | $DOGS |
|
| Gaming | Live | $HMSTR |
|
| DEX, CEX, DeFi | Live | $BLUM |
|
| Infrastructure | Live | $TAC |
|
| DeFi | Live | $TSWAP |
|
| DeFi | Live | $TRADOOR |
|
| Gaming | Live | $PYBOBO |
|
| Gaming | Live | $MEMHASH |
|
| Gaming | Live | $SOEX |
|
| Meme | Live | $UTYA |
|
| Gaming, DeFi | No | $GOMINING |
|
| Meme | No | $CLAY |
|
| Stablecoins, DEX | No | None on file | |
| DEX | No | None on file | |
| None tagged | No | None on file |
4 of these rows do carry investment records that hold no amount and no date:
CATS Token with 3, and
DOGS Token,
Hamster Kombat and
Blum with 1 each. Those records are exchange launchpool or IEO listings rather than priced rounds, so the right reading is a token distributed through an exchange with no disclosed round size on NAUT, and not a round worth $0. Reach is real in this group even without funding data: Decrypt reported on 14 June 2024 that Hamster Kombat had passed 150,000,000 players, and NAUT's stored description for
Memhash puts it above 1,500,000 monthly active users.
Which of these projects have money locked on chain?
8 of the 36 carry a stored total value locked figure on NAUT, read on 4 November 2026, ranked by that figure. The other 28 rows hold no TVL on file, which for a game or a meme token is expected rather than a gap.
| Project | Sector | TVL on NAUT |
|---|---|---|
| DeFi | $21,857,099 | |
| DeFi | $7,242,411 | |
| DEX, CEX, DeFi | $3,775,162 | |
| Infrastructure | $1,359,732 | |
| Stablecoins, DEX | $386,809 | |
| DeFi | $139,914 | |
| None tagged | $37,737 | |
| DEX | $4,916 |
For an investor sourcing here, this is the shortest route to a live product: 5 of the 8 also carry a disclosed raise, and 3 of them,
TorchTon,
Bidask Protocol and
NextonNode, hold deposits with no funding record and no launched token on NAUT.
Are TON ecosystem projects TON-only or multichain?
19 of the 36 carry this chain as their only network on NAUT, and 17 carry it plus at least 1 other. 11 distinct chains appear across the set, so a row can sit in several: the home chain on all 36, BNB Chain on 12, Ethereum on 7, then TAC, Solana and Polygon on 2 each, and Mantle, Bitcoin, Fantom, Klaytn and Babylon on 1 each. For a founder raising here, that split is the useful part: the multichain half is where a deal already has to work across 2 sets of tooling, and
GAMEE,
Grindery,
GoMining and
TAC each carry 4 chains.
By sector tag, Gaming leads with 12 of the 36, then DeFi on 8, AI and Meme on 5 each, DEX on 4 and Launchpad on 3. 2 rows carry no sector tag at all, MetaPhone and
Bidask Protocol, so a sector filter on its own would miss them.
What this tells a BD team selling into the TON ecosystem
- The reachable set is wider than the funded set. All 36 rows carry an X handle in NAUT's stored field and 27 carry a website domain, so the 16 rows with no funding record are still contactable.
- 20 of the 36 carry at least 1 person on NAUT's record, 41 people in total. 3 of those stored names are a handle rather than a full name, on
DuckChain,
RoOLZ and
WELL3, so open the project page before you use a name in an opener. - Gaming is where the volume is, 12 of 36, and DeFi is where the repeat fundraisers are:
EVAA Protocol carries 6 investment records and
Storm Trade 11. - The 11 rows with a launched token and no disclosed raise are the cleanest first calls, because a live token means a treasury, a market maker relationship and a listing budget, with no round announcement setting the price of the conversation.
- Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.
- Start with the 11Launched token, no disclosed raise, from Hamster Kombat to TeleSwap: live assets with no funding record.
- Qualify by chain count17 of the 36 run a second chain as well, so ask which stack owns the roadmap before you pitch.
- Pull the people20 of the 36 rows carry a person on NAUT, 41 in total; the project page holds the team list.
- Price by sectorGaming is 12 of 36 and DeFi 8, and the DeFi rows carry the most investment records.
What this tells a founder raising on TON
- NAUT's record puts most raises here well under $10,000,000: 7 of the 19 funded rows outside the chain itself sit at or below $1,000,000, and 4 clear $9,000,000.
- A high round count is normal rather than a warning sign.
Fanton and
Storm Trade carry 11 investment records each and
Grindery 9, so small sequential raises are the pattern here, with 1 priced round the exception. - Comparables matter when you pitch. If you are building a Telegram game, the set to quote is the 12 Gaming-tagged rows, and 7 of those carry a disclosed total.
- A launched token works poorly as a funding proxy on this chain: 11 of the 29 token rows carry no disclosed raise at all.
Where did the outside source check land?
14 claims on rows that stayed in this list went to an outside source check. The verdicts below are what the check found, not a judgment on the project, and a figure marked contradicted or not found stays in the tables above as NAUT's stored record only.
| Project | Claim checked | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Disclosed total | Confirmed, quote found | |
| Player count | Confirmed, quote found | |
| Designed by Telegram | Confirmed, quote found | |
| Disclosed total and positioning | Confirmed, page not refetched | |
| Disclosed total | Contradicted by the report read | |

TON ecosystem projects FAQ
What projects are on the TON blockchain?
NAUT tracks 36 projects on this chain as of 4 November 2026, from the network itself through DeFi venues like
STON.fi and
EVAA Protocol to Telegram games like
Hamster Kombat,
Notcoin and
Catizen. They come from 51 live rows carrying the chain tag, after 13 generic multichain companies and 2 rows the evidence places in another ecosystem were taken out.
How many Toncoin projects have raised funding?
20 of the 36 carry a disclosed funding total on NAUT's record as of 4 November 2026, adding to $556,256,000, or $116,256,000 once the $440,000,000 on the chain's own row is set aside. 24 rows hold at least 1 investment record, so 4 of them hold records that disclose no amount.
Which of these projects have a live token?
29 of the 36 have a launched token as of 4 November 2026, including $NOT, $HMSTR, $DOGS, $CATI and $STON, and 7 do not. 11 of the 29 token rows carry no disclosed funding total, which is where a BD team finds a live asset and no round announcement.
Where can I find TON ecosystem projects and their team contact channels?
On NAUT. Each of the 36 project pages carries the row's chains, token state and funding records, 20 of them carry at least 1 named person, and GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects?q=TON&limit=100 returns the same rows through the API. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial to open the channels.
Sources
Counts, sectors, chains, token state, round counts, disclosed totals and stored TVL in this report are read from NAUT's own project database on 4 November 2026: 51 live rows carrying the chain tag, 36 after the 2 cuts described above. The outside source check covered 15 claims across 14 of these projects, of which 5 were confirmed: Hamster Kombat's player count (Decrypt, 14 June 2024), STON.fi's Series A (Invezz, 30 July 2025), DuckChain's raise and positioning (duckchain.io, with crypto.news as the second source), the network's origin at Telegram (Wikipedia), and Llama's own docs (GitHub), which is why that row was dropped. The other 10 claims were contradicted or not located, so the figures they covered stand as NAUT's stored record only.
