JVault was established in September 2023 by student friends Daniil Markov and Dmitry Schagin. This followed their award-winning showing at Hack-a-TON, an event hosted by TON, AWS, and DWF Labs. The founders began with just $500 and the ambition to build a unique product for the TON ecosystem. Public testing commenced only a month and a half after the idea formed, leading to the Mainnet launch of the platform’s first version on November 13.
The initiative did not secure grants or significant funding. During a Private Sale lasting roughly one month, approximately half of the tokens were sold, raising around $25k. Despite this, the team persisted with steady development, hitting successive milestones. In under six months from the Mainnet debut, they produced a solution that has emerged as one of the top options in its sector.
