Telegram founder claims TON is 6,000x faster than Bitcoin

Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed that the TON network's transaction processing speed is approximately 6,000 times faster than Bitcoin's, BeInCrypto reported. According to Durov, the TON network achieves transaction finality in about 0.6 seconds, compared to roughly one hour for Bitcoin and 13 minutes for Ethereum. These metrics were measured following TON's Catchain 2.0 upgrade, which reportedly reduced block creation time to around 400 milliseconds.
