TOKEN2049 is one of the world’s premier crypto and Web3 conferences that brings together crypto and Web3 leaders to connect, share ideas, network, and shape the future of the industry. This year’s event is featuring 15,000 leaders, innovators, and tech enthusiasts who are redefining progress and innovation in the crypto and Web3 spaces.

With the conference in full swing, Chorus One, a recognized leader in the non-custodial staking space, is making waves with the launch of TON Pool, a fully compliant and scalable staking solution purpose-built for institutional players seeking exposure to The Open Network (TON).

The new platform answers a critical need in the fast-growing TON ecosystem, which has surged in popularity following its deep integration with Telegram. While TON’s growth has been undeniable – further fueled by Telegram’s massive global user base – its native staking mechanisms have, until now, posed significant challenges for institutional investors. High capital thresholds, manual operations, and limited scalability have made onboarding difficult for regulated entities looking to participate in staking.

Chorus One’s TON Pool is a staking solution designed from the ground up to overcome these barriers. Fully audited by security firm Sparebit and aligned with MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations, TON Pool delivers a seamless, secure, and scalable pathway for institutional staking on TON.

Chorus One was founded in 2018 and has long been recognized as a leader in non-custodial staking infrastructure. The company supports over 40 Proof-of-Stake networks and is trusted by institutions across the globe. Known for its rigorous research, security-first design, and strong emphasis on compliance, Chorus One has emerged as a strategic force in shaping institutional access to staking infrastructure. 

“TON Pool represents a critical milestone in enabling institutional adoption of TON staking. We’ve eliminated the operational and regulatory hurdles that have historically limited institutional participation, and built an infrastructure solution that is ready to scale with TON’s explosive growth,” Brian Fabian Crain, CEO and Co-founder of Chorus One, said in a statement.

Key differentiators of TON Pool include a low entry threshold that enables staking with as little as 10 TON, versus as much as 600,000 TON required by existing staking mechanisms. It also features unlimited delegator support, bypassing the 40-address cap found in traditional nominator pools. For institutions juggling operational efficiency, the platform offers automated validator selection and stake distribution, along with partial withdrawal capabilities to boost liquidity and flexibility.

Unlike many staking platforms that rely on liquid staking tokens (LSTs), TON Pool takes a pure delegation approach, aligning fully with regulatory expectations under MiCA while maintaining staking yield performance.

The product is already live, and set to integrate with regulated institutional partners. Chorus One’s rollout is the result of extensive industry consultation, including closed-door workshops with stakeholders in the UAE and a presentation at Dubai’s Global Blockchain Congress.

Chorus One also co-hosted the Staking & Institutional Social – Dubai Edition on April 30 at the TODA (Theatre of Digital Art), alongside KuCoin and FordeFi—an exclusive gathering of leaders in staking, regulation, and crypto finance.

With TON Pool now live and gaining traction, Chorus One is not only deepening its commitment to the TON ecosystem, but it is redefining what institutional staking looks like in the era of compliance and decentralization.
