The Open Network (TON) is a high-performance blockchain platform designed for speed, security, and scalability. Its native cryptocurrency, TON Coin, serves multiple purposes within the ecosystem:
- Validator staking deposits
- Transaction fees and gas payments
- Persistent storage fees
With a minimal annual inflation rate of 0.6%, TON presents an attractive option for miners seeking diversified revenue streams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dual mining profitable in 2024?
Yes, when properly configured. The combined revenue from ETH and TON often exceeds solo mining returns by 15-30%.
What's the minimum GPU requirement?
We recommend GPUs with at least 6GB VRAM for effective dual mining. Cards with 8GB+ perform optimally.
How often are payouts processed?
TON pool payments occur every 2 hours for balances exceeding 0.1 TON. Smaller balances accumulate until reaching the threshold.
Can I use this with ASIC miners?
No, this guide specifically addresses GPU mining. ASIC devices require different configuration approaches.
Advanced Configuration Notes
For experienced miners looking to push performance:
- Implement custom fan curves to maintain <70°C core temperatures
- Consider undervolting for improved energy efficiency
- Monitor share acceptance rates to fine-tune OC settings
