# TON Network

[TON (The Open Network)](https://ton.org/) is a fast, secure, and highly scalable blockchain network that is user-friendly and capable of processing millions of transactions per second. The TON network plays a role in hosting and providing various Dapp services like a supercomputer. Ozys aims to create an AMM-based DEX on the TON Network ecosystem, which has excellent performance and a huge community. Ozys has developed and operated DeFi protocols such as KLAYswap and Meshswap to achieve world-class TVL and MAU and will build a user-friendly DEX based on the experience accumulated so far on the TON Network. In addition to decentralized exchange, we plan to add various financial services such as leverage farming, governance, and depositing long/short positions.<br>
