Getting started

Before diving into DApps, make sure you understand blockchain fundamentals. You may find our The Open Network and Blockchain articles useful.

TON DApps are applications that interact with the blockchain, often without a traditional backend. In most cases, they work with custom smart contracts. This documentation explains how to process standard assets available in TON, both as examples and to accelerate DApp development.

You can write DApps in any programming language that has an SDK for TON. Most developers build them as websites; Telegram Mini Apps are the next most common.
