Audit history
TON smart contracts have been audited by recognised firms; the DeFi Intel /audits/ index lists the latest engagements. As with any DeFi asset, audits reduce but do not eliminate residual risk.
Risk factors
Key risk factors for TON: competitive pressure from other chains and L2s, validator/sequencer centralisation; uncapped issuance — long-term dilution depends on protocol monetary policy. Sizing should reflect the principal's tolerance for these risks; the DeFi Intel research desk views TON risk as commensurate with its category mean.
