The Open Network (TON) has announced the permanent closure of its legacy Token Bridge on September 1, 2026. Users are urged to recover any bridged assets before this date, as access will be cut off entirely. The TON Foundation has waived all percentage-based transfer fees during the remaining withdrawal period to facilitate the transition. Users holding Wrapped Toncoin (TON) on Ethereum or BNB Chain must bridge their tokens back to the TON network using bridge-v3.ton.org before the deadline. Additionally, those with j-tokens like jUSDT, jUSDC, jDAI, and jWBTC in their TON wallets need to return them to Ethereum through the same bridge. Any assets left in bridged form after September 1 will become inaccessible. The shutdown marks a significant phase in TON's development, following a period of ecosystem growth and governance changes led by Telegram. Users are advised to act promptly to avoid network delays and ensure their assets are secured before the bridge's closure.
