Introducing the Jetton 2.0 Smart Contract

Transfers and operations with Jetton 2.0 are up to 3 times faster under heavy network load compared to jettons of the previous version.

This improvement was achieved thanks to new shardchain optimizationsβ€”the jetton-wallet holding a user’s token balance is now always deployed in the same shardchain as the owner’s wallet. This became possible after the TON node introduced functionality to deploy smart contracts into a specific shardchain (StateInit.fixed_prefix_length).

The smart contract is a direct successor of Jetton 1.2β€”used for popular tokens like $NOTβ€”written by the TON Core team and covered by unit tests.

We would like to thank Andrew G Kiba, a community developer who made a contribution to the contract’s design.

A Tolk-language version of the smart contract will be released later.
