Prelude.

After the failed attempt of the Telegram messenger team to conduct an ICO of its own Gram coins, a team of enthusiasts (Free TON Management) against the odds took the initiative into their own hands and independently launched an ecosystem called Free TON (FT).

The main characteristic feature of the FT blockchain system from an economic point of view is that its TON Crystal tokens are NOT subject to sale on the primary market, but are distributed among the teams of developers, validators, participants of sub-governance (SG) held on the basis of competitions. This means that further resale of Crystals occurs exclusively in the secondary market. The exchange price of FT ecosystem tokens displays the current market value (cash equivalent) of the value of the entire project. The FT is not a speculative project, but redistributes its tokens in proportion to the contribution to the development of the ecosystem, both of a particular participant and development teams.

In modern conditions, with the active development of the Free TON blockchain project, there is a huge potential for studying this technological platform in the context of application in various spheres of international socio-economic relations. Taking into account the graphic symbol of the Free TON community in the form of a crystal in the form of a symmetrical cut, symbolizing the value of this project, like the jewel of a large diamond stored in the treasury of a diamond mining company, I want to emphasize the great opportunities for conducting promising research and training within the framework of the Free TON Academy of various topics and directions of our multifaceted crystal. At the initial stage of Free TON research, I consider the following topics to be appropriate for training: the technological foundations of the Free TON ecosystem; promising areas of application of Free TON blockchain options; the history of quasi-denominates as precursors of tokens issued on the blockchain for a deeper understanding of the economic essence of settlement instruments; prospects for the creation of financial structures that could provide financial and banking services based on the Free TON (DeFi), blockchain legal adaptation of technological solutions developed on the basis of the Free TON blockchain for widespread use in different countries.

At the next stage, you can consider the possibility of forming faculties, for example, information technology (IT), economic and legal. Where students could more deeply comprehend the wisdom of blockchain depending on their priorities, considering our "crystal" in 3D format

Considering the logo of the FT community in the form of a "crystal", the general essence of the project is seen, which is based on "versatility" and "interconnectedness".

TON Crystal can be considered as:
- means of payment,
- means of accumulation and reservation,
- "gas" or "raw materials" for servicing (processing) transactions (the activities of validators and token holders who have transferred their tokens to staking), as well as the production of new digital assets (creation of NFT tokens, digital money, tokens of other projects and much more),
- means of exchange circulation (including for pharming),
- the subject of the pledge.

The FT blockchain system, unlike other blockchains, is environmentally friendly, since it does not provide for energy-intensive (consumption of electricity) and resource-intensive (the need for expensive computing power) process of mining their tokens.

Summing up my brief overview, it should be noted that the Free TON platform creates the prerequisites for the creation and maintenance of the "newest economy" in terms of diverse versatility, built on the basis of absolute decentralization, privacy and scalability. For the development of the global economy, FT options will help many people find new types of employment in the field of validation, sacking, asset management, exchange activities, creation of NFT tokens, investment banking operations and content creation for sites based on the decentralized Internet of the third generation (Web 3.0).
