About Source and GitHub Repositories

To get the most out of WIN Research, it’s important to know where to find the resources:

• The official TON client tarball can be found at test.ton.org/downloads.html.
• The community version with added features, albeit potentially outdated, is available at github.com/copperbits/TON.
• An unchanged, up-to-date version of the tarball is available at github.com/pomaton/pomaton-lite-client.

There is currently no official statement connecting ton.org with the TON network; however, this is the only reliable source of information and code available at the moment.

The available files can be accessed at test.ton.org.
