The Open Network (TON) announced that the Toncoin Bridge will be officially decommissioned on May 10, 2025.

This decision marks the end of an era for the early infrastructure that once played a critical role in Toncoin's cross-chain accessibility.

According to a statement from the Toncoin developers, the shutdown means that users will no longer be able to bridge Toncoin to Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain after the specified date. However, assets that have previously been bridged to these networks will continue to be claimable. More importantly, bridging to TON will remain available for now, and a timeline for the end will be announced in the future.

The Toncoin Bridge was initially launched to provide users with a way to trade Toncoin before the token was listed on centralized exchanges (CEXs) or had its own decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure. Users would bridge their assets with Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain to access DEX platforms like Uniswap and PancakeSwap.

The recent developments such as local USDT support on TON and integration with cross-chain solutions like LayerZero, StarGate.io, Symbiosis, and Rhino.fi have made bridges less necessary. TON developers stated that with the growing DeFi environment and local trading options in the network, there is no longer an urgent need for users to exit the ecosystem for financial activities.
