This section introduces the core concepts of the TON Blockchain. It explains the fundamental building blocks of the system, including data structures, transaction flow, consensus mechanisms, and network protocols.

<Aside>
  The material here provides the foundation for developers, researchers, and anyone who wants to understand low-level TON’s architecture.
</Aside>

## Core Data Structures & Addressing

* **[Cells](/ton/cells)** – TON’s universal data structure, used to represent every piece of information on-chain, from account states to transactions.
* **[Addresses](/ton/addresses)** – The scheme TON uses to uniquely identify accounts and smart contracts across workchains.
* **[Account Statuses](/ton/statuses)** – The possible states of an account in TON and how these states control contract execution.

## Transaction Processing

* **[Messages and Transactions](/ton/transaction)** – TON is message-driven: all interactions between accounts are handled through internal and external messages, which form transactions.
* **[Execution Phases and Fees](/ton/phases-and-fees)** – How TON processes a transaction through the Storage, Credit, Compute, Action, and Bounce phases, while applying fees at each step.
* **[Precompiled Contracts](/ton/precompiled)** – A feature of TON that heavily optimizes gas usage for frequently invoked contracts.

## Network Architecture

* **[Blockchain Sharding](/ton/shards)** – TON’s horizontal scaling model, where every workchain is divided into multiple shardchains that can process transactions in parallel.
* **[Blockchain Configuration](/ton/config)** – Dynamically updated configuration of the blockchain∆ that is a native TON account.
* **[Network Protocols](/ton/network)** – TON’s communication stack, including ADNL for peer discovery, RLDP for reliable data transfer, and DHT for distributed lookups.
* **[Blocks](/ton/)** – The structure of TON blocks, which record the results of transactions and link shardchains together.

## Validation & Security

* **[Proofs](/ton/proofs)** – Applicability of Merkle proofs, natively supported by TON Blockchain.
* **[Consensus](/ton/consensus)** – TON’s Catchain consensus protocol, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant algorithm that ensures validators reach agreement on blocks in the presence of faulty or malicious participants.

## Technical Whitepapers

* **[Cells](/ton/cells/boc)** – TON’s universal data structure, used to represent every piece of information on-chain, from account states to transactions, in a compact and hash-friendly format.
* **[Addresses](/ton/addresses/addresses-general-info)** – The scheme TON uses to uniquely identify accounts and smart contracts across workchains and shardchains, with built-in error detection.
* **[Blocks](/ton/tblkch)** – The structure of TON blocks, which record the results of transactions and link shardchains together through cryptographic proofs.
* **[TVM Whitepaper](/ton/tvm)** – The original specification of the TON Virtual Machine, the execution engine for all smart contracts.

## Reference Materials

* **[Glossary](/ton/glossary)** – A reference guide to important TON-specific terms and definitions.
