The Open League Incentives Start Today! Up to 1M Toncoin to be distributed to the community by April 1.
The Open League Incentives Start Today! Up to 1M Toncoin to be distributed to the community by April 1.
Today, March 4, TON Foundation launches The Open League incentives. Today, we introduce a new competitive format where TON projects compete for user attention to win rewards for you. The Open League started with Web3 quests, providing easy onboarding for new users of Web3 projects. Over 25,000 users have completed the Open League quests, but now we have added a new layer to the League to increase competition between projects and incentivize crypto native users. Until April 1, Toncoin will be distributed by the TON Foundation to projects, which will boost their liquidity pools on TON’s Decentralized Exchanges (DEXes). Users can provide liquidity to their favorite projects and earn TON and the Project’s token as rewards. Meet the Chosen Ones Today, we’re excited to announce 11 projects participating in the TOL pilot season, with room for more coming soon. This marks the beginning of incentives for experienced crypto users through Liquidity Pool Boosts. We selected these 11 projects based on growth metrics, including number of holders, token distribution, fully diluted value, innovation, and utility. 11 participating projects (so far): Clicking on the name of the project will open the available liquidity pool in a new tab. $STON - STON.fi $SCALE - DeDust $jNANO - Tonano $PUNK - TON Punks $FNZ - Fanzee $MC - Tap Fantasy $UP - TonUP $RAFF - Ton Raffles $ARBUZ - Arbuz $GRAM - Gram $JETTON - JetTon In Liquidity Pool Boosts, users provide 2 assets to the boosted pools on DeDust or StonFi. This is called providing liquidity; in return, liquidity providers will receive Toncoin and project tokens as a reward. The initial boosting has already begun and will continue until April 1st. The pool of up to 1 million Toncoin will be shared among the participating projects’ users based on four metrics: TVL at risk, trading volume, number of active wallets, and number of transactions. Winning founders will receive a Toncoin prize at the end of the season on April 1. We will assign boosted Toncoin rewards to projects at different times, so you should closely follow the community channels and remain active to ensure you don’t miss the boosts. The program’s progress will be tracked on a real-time public leaderboard that is coming soon and allows you to see the latest results of the boosted pools. How to Enter 1. Provide Liquidity To participate in the task, you need to hold both tokens present in the pool. If you don’t have the required tokens, you can swap your Toncoin to buy the token you need and then deposit equal amounts of both tokens to the pool. It’s worth noting that some pools might have lock-up periods, meaning that you must keep your assets in the pool for a specific time. 2. Monitor your positions You must monitor the health of your pooled positions by checking them inside the DEX you’re using. Reward amounts may change quickly. Due to market volatility, you can incur an impermanent loss when the value of one side of your position changes. Follow the Toncoin channel to see the latest updates on new Toncoin boosts. 3. Claim your Rewards As you start providing liquidity, you will immediately earn rewards based on the activity within your pool. The rewards are automatically distributed based on the size of your position in the pool; the larger the pool share you have, the more rewards you’ll receive. Get Started on DeDust or STON.fi. IMPORTANT: Please note this activity is designed for experienced Web3 users who understand the intricacies of providing liquidity to 2-sided pools and clearly understand the associated risks. Read Bybit’s article on liquidity pools to learn more. All projects participating in The Open League are selected based on their past performance. Neither the Open League nor the TON Foundation guarantees the future performance of these projects, and you must do your own research and assess the possible risks. Please evaluate each project carefully before making any on-chain actions. 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/
The Open League Pilot Season Is Now Live!
The Open League Pilot Season Is Now Live!
On November 16, during The Gateway conference in Dubai, TON Foundation Director Jack Booth proposed a new ecosystem-wide competition designed to gamify the experience of using TON Blockchain – The Open League (TOL). You can rewatch Jack's presentation here. TON Foundation initiated the community vote on this proposal on November 20 and received a staggering 99.5% support from TON holders, pushing plans to launch TOL into effect. The Open League's inaugural Pilot season is live today, and in this article, you'll find everything you need to know to gain great rewards just by using TON projects in Telegram. Keep reading to learn how to participate and discover how The Open League will contribute to attracting and retaining 5 million new users to TON in the next 12 months. The Open League The Open League (TOL) is a competition for TON Ecosystem projects and users. Projects earn new and sticky users for TON, while users get rewarded for their activity. It is designed to increase user engagement across the ecosystem, help projects grow their user base, and develop more attractive and functional products ready for the massive audience on Telegram. Like the English Premier League or similar sports leagues, TOL will run in six-month-long seasons, with the initial pilot season kicking off today, January 29th, 2024. Each season is split into four months of active participation for users to earn TON-backed incentives and a two-month blackout period. Each season of the Open League is designed to onboard users by leveling up their Web3 skills and knowledge, guiding users with incentives to use TON projects. Each month of the season will include a new level of quests to complete for every project involved, starting off with easy introductory tasks and getting more difficult with each level. Quests for each level are aggregated into one master quest, with each participating project having 1 quest per level. The Pilot Season This pilot season will run for just 4 months, with 3 months of experimentation and 1 month blackout period to prepare for Season 1! Expect experiments and changes; no parameter, mechanism, or feature is set in stone. Constant testing and changes will help The Open League deliver on the goal of more active and sticky users for TON. Pilot Season Level 1 starts today and includes five projects already boasting over 26 million Monthly active users: Wallet, tApps Center, Notcoin, and GetGems. These projects will provide a simple, incentivized onboarding experience to Web3 with use cases anyone can enjoy. tApps Center will provide a familiar way of exploring all the applications built on TON and Telegram. Notcoin will give users their first meme-coin with its simple tap-to-earn minting mechanism. GetGems will help users understand and own their first collectibles, providing an easy on-chain experience. Finally, Fanton will help users get familiar with connecting their wallets in Telegram, topping up, and earning through an easy-to-use football fantasy game. Pilot Reward System The Open League's reward system is based on 1 major concept: incentivizing only real and active users. Over time, the system should weed out fake accounts and bots to make sure rewards are distributed to real people. There are 4 systems at work here: Soul-Bound Tokens (SBTs) Experience Points (XP) The XP Lottery Referrals Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) Level 1 of the Pilot Season starts with Soul Bound Tokens (SBTs). SBTs are non-transferable, so you can't sell them; they are awarded for completion of each quest. Experience Points (XP) At Level 2, we will introduce Experience Points (XP). XPs are off-chain points backed by TON. XPs can be exchanged for TON anytime, but the exchange rate is time-based, so the longer you hold your XP, the more they are worth until the final day of Season 2, where each XP will be worth 1 TON. The XP Lottery XP will be awarded to users in a weekly lottery. Each SBT acts as a lottery ticket, with some SBTs worth more than 1 entry; the more quests you complete, the higher your chance of winning a share of the weekly prize pool. Each level the SBTs needed to qualify for the lottery will be reset, giving everyone a fair chance to win. Referrals Viral mechanics are a key feature of TON projects in Telegram. Users who refer their friends to join the quests will earn Influencer SBTs, awarding them additional lottery entries and increasing their chance of winning the weekly prize. SBTs and Experience Points (XP) together build your on-chain reputation. In time, this on-chain reputation will help any project on TON airdrop to users they know are loyal, valuable, sticky, and active. So work hard to build a reputation that deserves reward because this is just the start, and the very best users will earn for years to come. How to Participate in the Pilot It's simple to get started, but before you start, head to TON Society and read the intro to The Open League. Open the Level 1 Quest here Complete each project's quest Claim your SBT at the end of each quest Track your SBTs in your TON Society profile NB: There is a small blockchain transaction fee to mint an SBT - currently 0.07 TON, so make sure you have TON in your wallet when you try to claim, or it won't work. You must complete Level 1 to qualify for Level 2, so you have a month. Have fun, learn about TON, and enjoy The Open League. A world of rewards and reputation awaits every pilot who completes the training. Start your Open League journey here! 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/
The Open League Season #1 For Projects
The Open League Season #1 For Projects
This article outlines the changes to Season #1 of The Open League that will make it even more rewarding than ever before. Here we mainly focus on what it all means for The Open League projects, and in another article, we’ll focus on Season #1 for users. The Open League (TOL) is about turning normal, everyday Telegram users into on-chain Chads, users ready to use every feature of TON’s new and exciting web3 ecosystem inside Telegram. To do that, TOL sets a clear pathway to go from just a little baby newcoiner to factor 50 degenerate. It’s okay not to know what it’s all about. Crypto is complex. A frightening user experience, liquidations, hacks, and rug pulls scare off even the greatest risk-takers. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The Open League is a guided path for anyone with a Telegram account to earn tokens while getting started in crypto. With something for every different appetite for risk. Earn tokens with zero-risk token mining activities and quests or from high-risk liquidity pools and trading contests. Step into The League, my fren; a world of rewards awaits. The Open League Season #1 Is Here! Well, the pilot was fun; it delivered on all fronts: Daily active wallets (DAW): up 347% WAWs: up 252% MAWs: up 137% DEFI TVL: up 244% Liquidity Providers: up 550% Daily Trading Volume: up 624% Daily traders: up 710% Jetton Holders: up 195% Safe to say it's working well for all involved! The Open League delivers active wallets, active users, more liquidity, and trading activity to all participating projects. We’re kicking off Season #1 on April 1 at 12:00 CET. For three months, we’ll have three seasons, each lasting for one month. The fun won’t stop there. This long-term competition will likely run for the next two years. April 1st? Really? Trust us, this is no joke! The first live season of TOL is here, and if you’re building a project on TON, take this as your guide for the next year. Here, we’ll tell you all you need to do to participate, qualify, and earn the rewards and the glory. Upcoming changes to TOL Season #1 Changes to leaderboards and the ranking system From this season, every project will be competing in one of the five Key Performance Indicator (KPI) leaderboards according to their respective project category. Token Leaderboard Meme Coin & Community Token Leaderboard DeFi Leaderboard App Leaderboard Liquid Staking Leaderboard We believe this approach is fairer as it allows projects to compete with similar projects and focus on metrics relevant to their category. For prize distribution, we will reward the top projects in each category. The prizes within the KPI-based competition will be distributed at the end of each season (every month). Prize pools and metrics will then reset at the beginning of every season so projects can make a fresh attempt at reaching the top. Changes to Liquidity Pool Boosts Liquidity Pool Boosts are an additional incentive for liquidity providers on decentralized exchanges and are awarded to contestants of the Major League (Token Leaderboard) only. In season 1, we introduce a Minor League as a monitoring ground for up to 50 tokens currently not qualifying for the Major League. However, Minor league projects will not get LP boosts unless promoted to the Majors. Boosts are provided for one season (one month) for a maximum of 50,000 TON per project and Boosts must be matched by an equivalent of the project’s tokens in the ratio of 2:3, i.e. $2 worth of your tokens for $3 worth of Toncoin. Projects can decide if they want to utilize the full amount of 50,000 in TON or if they’ll go for a lower boost, according to their available budget. Other LP Boosts requirements: The project cannot receive an LP Boost and enter the Major League unless it is prepared to provide its side of tokens for the liquidity pool. The project must introduce a simple token mining mechanic for new users to earn the project’s token for free, safely, and simply. We've prepared a Playbook with some ideas to help you understand how to build an excellent incentive system that attracts millions of users to your project. The project must choose between DeDust.io or Ston.fi for the allocation of the LP rewards. Each project must choose a pair with either TON or staked TON (stTON, tsTON, wsTON, hTON, or STAKED) to be eligible. The LP rewards provided by TON Foundation cannot be split into multiple pools; projects can choose only one pool per season. Projects are allowed to set lock-ups in the farming pools, but the lock-up period cannot exceed one month (one TOL season) Projects that participate in the KPI-based competition but don’t have their own token to offer in the LPs can apply to receive rewards to incentivize their liquidity providers. However, this only applies to projects with TVL at risk, so liquid staking projects would not qualify. Teams without their own token should therefore present a clear plan on how they will significantly increase their TVL at risk for the upcoming months. The final decision on the provision of the rewards is at the sole discretion of the TOL committee. Apply as a project without a token Intro to the new category-based ranking system 1. Token Leaderboard This category is reserved only for projects with a token and is split into two leagues: Major League and Minor League. This is the main leaderboard of the entire competition with tokens in the major league the only projects to receive the LP Boost benefit. 1.1 The Major League This league will welcome all pilot season participants, except the two projects that ranked last in the pilot season and projects that failed to introduce a token mining mechanism. The league is reserved for the best-performing projects of the previous season and the top 3 projects of the Minor League. The worst performers in the Major League will be relegated to the Minor League at the end of the season. With the exception of receiving a Wild Card, It is only possible to apply to TOL and participate in the Major League by having participated in the previous season. Note: The four new projects added two weeks after the start of the pilot season ($TONNEL, $FISH, $KINGY, $DFC) are granted special immunity and will NOT be eliminated from the Major League regardless of their performance because of the uneven duration of their participation in the beta season compared with the other contestants. 1.2 The Minor League This league serves projects new to the TON Ecosystem or first-time participants in The Open League. The projects in this league will compete to place in the top 3 spots and receive delegation into the Major League. It will also host the worst performers from the Major League of the previous season. Eligibility criteria to enter the Minor League: Clean track record and relevant expertise Clearly defined roadmap Total token TVL on DEXs must be higher than $50,000 The FDV must be higher than $1,000,000 The total number of token holders must be higher than 1,000 Fair token distribution In contrast to the Major League contestants, Minor League participants do NOT receive an LP boost. Apply to join the Minor League 1.3 The Wild Card A wild card can be granted in exceptional cases and at any time throughout the season. The wild card allows the team to join the Major League without necessarily competing in and winning the Minor League. The wild card can be given to new TON projects with impressive token metrics right after the launch, projects with substantial traction deployed on other blockchains and migrating to TON, hackathon winners or TON Accelerator alumni, and projects that win in the DeFi or App categories after token launch. 2. Meme Coin & Community Token Leaderboard This leaderboard is part of the TON Foundation's effort to spur the growth of community projects with no necessary utility, and we warmheartedly welcome meme coins and community tokens in the TON Ecosystem. The most impressive communities in this category may receive special rewards. The projects participating in this category are not guaranteed to receive an LP boost or a determined prize pool, and the rewards are at the sole discretion of the TOL Committee. Eligibility criteria to enter the Meme Coin & Community Token Leaderboard: Clean track record Fair token distribution (fair launch) Total token TVL on DEXs must be higher than $100,000 The FDV must be higher than $1,000,000 The total number of token holders must be higher than 1,000 Apply to join the Meme Coin & Community Token Leaderboard 3. App Leaderboard This leaderboard is dedicated to projects with decentralized applications (dApps) built on TON. Projects with their own dApp who participated in the pilot season are whitelisted to join Season #1 and will receive a priority enlistment to Season #1. dApp projects that didn’t participate in the pilot season can apply through the button below. To apply, projects must demonstrate performance (based on metrics such as UAW and TX numbers) as good or better than those that rank last in the current App Leaderboard. All new applications will be thoroughly reviewed, and application teams must provide proof that confirms their declared traction. Any manipulation of metrics will result in permanent disqualification of the project from The Open League. Apply to join the App Leaderboard 4. DeFi Leaderboard This leaderboard welcomes projects active in the DeFi section of the TON ecosystem, such as decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, etc. DeFi projects participating in the pilot season are whitelisted to join Season #1 and will receive a priority enlistment to Season #1. DeFi projects not participating in the pilot season can apply through the button below. Given that more new DeFi projects are expected to join the competition soon, the current DeFi Leaderboard will likely be split into sub-verticals after Season #1. TOL Season #1 will continue to have a single DeFi Leaderboard, which will be upgraded with custom metrics and weights to embrace the specifics of the participating projects and ensure fair competition. More details on the methodology can be found in the DeFi Leaderboard (coming soon). Apply to join the DeFi Leaderboard 5. Liquid Staking Leaderboard The last leaderboard is designed solely for liquid staking protocol on TON. Liquid Staking protocols participating in the pilot season are whitelisted to join Season #1 and will receive a priority enlistment to Season #1. The Open League Prize Pools The prize pools for each leaderboard will continue growing each season, with the top projects in each category sharing the reward. These prizes are not the final numbers and may increase exponentially depending on how the competition develops. The Open League Rules of Conduct To maximize the effectiveness of the TOL initiative and eradicate unfair competition, we’ve created a list of simple rules of conduct that apply to all TOL participants and will be harshly enforced. Any breach of these rules will be harshly penalized, potentially resulting in permanent disqualification from The Open League. The participants of TOL shall behave in good faith, showing respect towards other contestants and using legitimate and organic tools to increase their token and product metrics. Participants receiving an LP boost from TON Foundation must NOT: Farm rewards in their own pools. Collude with others to benefit unfairly from the boosted pools. We are watching closely. Sell their project’s token to make a profit. Perform other actions of similar character. The participants of the KPI-based competitions must NOT: Fake their metrics through the creation of multiple accounts and the generation of multiple transactions Please note that these rules and principles are subject to change throughout The Open League initiative. TON Foundation reserves the right to improve and adjust this framework based on the circumstances. Season #1 of The Open League is here, and we invite all projects within the TON Ecosystem to consider their participation in this amazing initiative. Please, do not hesitate to contact us for more information or if you need help with your application to The Open League. 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/

Influencer Trading Competition The first phase of the challenge is the Influencer Trading Competition, where key opinion leaders will compete against each other to achieve the highest account balance by the end of the season. Starting with an initial 5,000 TON airdrop, participants are tasked with growing their balance and taking advantage of the $1 million in TON incentives already offered by TON Society. Participants in the trading competition are restricted to using their 5,000 TON airdrop solely for projects in The Open League, without engaging in gambling, withdrawals, or adding external funds. Progress will be monitored via a public leaderboard and the winner with the highest balance will receive the 15,000 TON grand prize. Prizes of 10,000 and 5,000 in TON are also set for second and third places, respectively. This part of the campaign is all about trading skill, strategic thinking, and commitment.

After contributing, the new member’s wallet will be integrated into the squad. Members can also boost their squad by referring friends and earning referral points. To refer a friend, the referee needs to include his referrer’s wallet address as a comment in the transaction while joining a squad. To join a squad, visit the public squad leaderboard and contribute 0.00001 TON to the squad of your choice. Be careful and double-check the amount of TON you are sending and the address you are sending it to.

Remember, any trading volume from before switching squads won’t count towards the new squad’s totals. Choose wisely, get involved, and let’s turbocharge trading in the TON Ecosystem! Conclusion As we kick off this unique trading venture, we want to invite all enthusiasts, newcomers, and experienced traders to join our ecosystem! The Open League Trading Challenge represents a huge opportunity to engage with the community and explore the potentials of TON DeFi.

These Are The Best Projects of TOL Season 1!
These Are The Best Projects of TOL Season 1!
What’s cooking, you absolute Chads? The Open League Season 1 is officially over, and it’s time to look back at the best projects of the past month. The last month was hectic, filled with announcements flooding (pun intended) from Dubai’s Token 2049 – from USDt and XAUt on TON to Telegram’s plans to reward sticker creators and more. While the market went through significant ups and downs and influencers kept fighting over whether we were in a bear market or a bull market, one thing remained unchanged: the growth happening in The Open League. In Season 1, we welcomed several major changes that rewrote the rules of The Open League and allowed more projects to participate for rewards. We introduced new leaderboards, launched Memelandia and DeFi Grants, and boosted the rewards for top projects. In addition, we airdropped rewards to the most active traders and distributed multiple rewards. In addition, the two leading TON DEXs, Ston.fi and DeDust, have now deployed new boosts. The total farming rewards to be distributed to the participants of the Major League are $224,483 on Ston.fi and $66,304 on DeDust. But now, let’s get to the main point of this article. Key Highlights: Below are some key highlights captured at the end of Season 1, and just look at that beauty. The key metrics are compared to before the start of The Open League. Open League S1 has contributed to ATHs across every metric in April. With a massive $9M distributed to all 894K TON users who participated in Season 1. Daily active wallets (DAW): 198,270 (+425%) Weekly Active Wallets: 537,160 (+244%) Monthly Active Wallets: 1,45M (+263%) DeFi Total Value Locked: $175.1M (+665%) Liquidity Providers: 22,088 (+410%) Daily Trading Volume: $23.97M (+834%) Daily Traders: 25,502 (+431%) Jetton Holders: 1.28M (+1023%) Final Project Ranking of The Open League Season 1 In Season 1, we tracked leaderboards across five main categories: Token Leaderboard, Meme Coin & Community Tokens, DeFi, Apps, and Liquid Staking. Below are the final snapshots of leaderboards as of the first day after Season 1, May 1. The rankings are based on various metrics for each category, but mainly the number of holders, TVL, DEX activity, and distribution. DeFi The 6 projects participating in the DeFi Leaderboard were awarded a $875,000 prize pool for Season 1. Token Leaderboard: Major League The Major League reserved for the best projects in the Token category from the previous season will share a prize pool of $875,000 for Season 1. Token Leaderboard: Minor League The top three projects from the Minor League, where upcoming projects compete for their place in next season’s Major League, will share a prize pool of $150,000 for Season 1. App Battle In the App Battle, we’re rewarding the top ten projects with $875,000 for Season 1, distributed according to their performance. Meme Coin & Community Token Leaderboard Liquid Staking Leaderboard The liquidity providers in this category will share $500,000 in prize money for Season 1. Conclusion As always, we’re extremely grateful to all projects that participated in last month’s season and are excited to see what’s coming in Season 2, which kicked off on May 1st. Season 2 will bring a few changes that will affect the progression of The Open League. These changes are mainly focused on making the league more dynamic, faster, and simpler to understand. Season 2 will last only 2 weeks instead of the previous 1 month. This will speed up reward distribution and allow more projects to participate in the upcoming seasons. We’re reducing the number of leaderboards from five to three: App Battle, Token Major League & Token Minor League. Meme Coin category will be merged under token league, DeFi and Liquid Staking categories are removed. Major League promotions: JVT, ANON, WEB3, REDO, @BTC25 New Minor League teams: DYOR, OPEN, BURN, DICK, CRYPTON, and WALL New App Battle teams: Shardify, XPLUS, Cheques Corp, Catizen, and The Pixels If you want to track the Season 2 leaderboards, visit The Open League website.

TOL Season 2 Results Just Landed: Two Teams Eliminated!
Yeah, yeah, we know you’re not thinking about anything but the Notcoin listing these days, but before the NOT-Day arrives, let’s review the results of The Open League’s Season 2, which just officially ended. If you asked crypto influencers on Twitter how they feel, they would probably tell you that it’s so over, but looking at Season 2 data, we dare to disagree. And while there might be a lot of negative sentiment and doomy predictions, the TON Ecosystem keeps on marching forward, completely unbothered. At the end of Season 1, we implemented two new changes that impacted the progression of The Open League’s Season 2: Reduced the season duration from one month to just two weeks to speed up rewards distribution and allow more projects to compete Reduced leaderboards from five to three to simplify the competition and make promotions and relegations more straightforward. For Season 3, starting now, we’re implementing just one change: Liquidity Pool Boosts will be capped at 15,000 TON to account for Toncoin market movements.

TON Accelerator Launches $2.5 Million TON: Acc Incubator and TON: Acc Portal
TON Accelerator Launches $2.5 Million TON: Acc Incubator and TON: Acc Portal
We recently informed you about the formation of a new $40M TON Ventures fund focused on early-stage projects, and we're bringing another news related to this initiative. Today, TON Accelerator announced the launch of TON:Acc, a new incubation program for promising start-ups building on The Open Network. Since January 2024, TON's TVL has grown from $13.5M to $566.21M (as of August 16). The number of users and daily active TON addresses surpassed Ethereum, and with access to Telegram's 950M monthly active users, developers reaped the benefits of building on TON. TON: Acc aims to empower entrepreneurs to integrate their projects into TON's growing ecosystem as seamlessly as possible. In TON: Acc's inaugural cohort, TON Ventures will select five projects to receive an investment of up to $2.5 million to accelerate their growth. In the next three months, these projects will receive the support, funds, and expertise required to grow their businesses from ideas to working products. Sophia Rusconi, Head of TON Accelerator, said, "TON Blockchain's growth so far this year has only shown a tiny percentage of Telegram's potential as a distribution channel. Projects building on TON have an audience of 950 million ready and waiting to engage with their product. TON:Acc will help projects find a clear route to market, providing them with the funding, expertise, and support they need to become the next billion-dollar project on TON." To support the program, TON Ventures also plans to launch TON: Acc Portal, a new ecosystem incubation platform. This portal will offer various features designed to provide early-stage projects with better access to support and reach while also giving investors a valuable channel to discover promising early-stage projects. Projects can apply for verification, granting them access to acceleration programs, mentorship opportunities, and TON Venture's partners' network. Through all of this, TON Ventures aims to arm the projects with the essential knowledge, resources, and opportunities to help start-ups take their next steps. "The tap-to-earn craze has opened many people's eyes to the powerful combination of TON and the Telegram Mini Apps platform. We are deeply convinced that this is simply the first phase of the TON ecosystem's growth, and we are incredibly excited to shepherd the next evolution of TON-based mini-apps that will bring real-world utility into Telegram's Web3 ecosystem," said Ian W, Managing Partner of TON Ventures. Applications for the TON: Acc Incubation Program are now open. Click to apply! Stay in touch with TON Ventures and follow them on Twitter and Telegram. 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/

TON Ecosystem Report: Q3 2023
TON Ecosystem Report: Q3 2023
We're not exaggerating when we say the last quarter might be the most exciting quarter we've ever witnessed within the TON Ecosystem. Hundreds of builders on TON launched new amazing products, and the TON blockchain received several major upgrades. The TON Community launched an initiative with Telegram and much, much more. But before we get to all the highlights of the past quarter, let's first explore some metrics from the recently launched tracking service TON Stat. TON Metrics The number of TON accounts continues to grow steadily, reaching over 3.5M, while the number of daily transactions slightly fluctuates but doesn't show signs of slowing down. On-chain active wallets mirror the accounts and show signs of steady growth, with almost 815 thousand wallets. The average daily gain of new wallets is 1,392. As the charts above indicate, the growth is undeniable regarding assets and valuables stored on TON Blockchain. We're observing regular and steady increases in all areas, including Jetton wallets, minted NFTs, TON DNS sales, and TON DNS trading volume. The current number of validators is 344, spread across 24 countries, with a staggering amount of almost 500M TON staked. TON x Telegram Last year, Telegram allowed users to buy and sell Telegram usernames and IDs on Fragment, a TON-based auction platform. It was a phenomenal success. Auction sales exceeded $20M, and Telegram's anonymous numbers increased in value by 27 times in just nine months. But this was just the beginning. The most significant announcement of this quarter, not only for The Open Network but for the entire crypto industry, was made on September 13 at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore, where Telegram and TON Community announced plans to work together. But don't take our word for it. Here's what Binance Research had to say. This milestone is a game-changer for the TON community, as the launch of the new self-custodial wallet, TON Space, will roll out to Telegram’s 800M monthly users and appear in their Telegram menu starting in November. By 2028, Telegram is expected to reach 1.5 billion users. With this in mind, the TON Community aims to attract 30% of Telegram's active users to TON in the next 3-5 years. This is 33 times the combined active audience of the current crypto industry. Telegram will also rely on The Open Network as its blockchain backbone. The TON Ecosystem will benefit from in-app promotion within Telegram and priority placement on Telegram's global advertising platform, Telegram Ads. The objective is to cultivate a TON-focused Web3 ecosystem within Telegram and evolve the integrated wallet into a one-stop platform for various user needs. This massive announcement immediately boosted Toncoin into the top 10 crypto projects, according to CoinMarketCup. Click here to read the full article. TON Believers Fund A new initiative, believers.ton, has been introduced within the community, offering users the chance to lock their Toncoins into a dedicated smart contract for five years while earning rewards. Other users can also contribute Toncoins as bonuses for those who lock in their tokens. The more Toncoins are secured in the smart contract, the more stable and transparent the tokenomics becomes, which is crucial for network growth and drawing new members. The initiative has been extremely successful. Thanks to the participation of large holders, the believers.ton smart contract has already accumulated more than 500 million Toncoin (which is about 10% of all existing Toncoin). This significant achievement complements previous actions to amplify the TON tokenomics. Click here to read the full article. @Wallet & TON Space Going forward, existing and new @wallet users can access TON Space to become independent custodians of their private keys and assets - eliminating the need for middlemen and offering a trustless experience. TON Space is a self-custodial software wallet that's seamlessly integrated into Telegram's @wallet feature, enabling users to manage, send, receive, and store their assets without leaving the Telegram app. Starting in November, TON Space will automatically become available to Telegram's 800 million monthly users, except in certain regions like the United States. This is a monumental move toward the TON Community's ultimate goal: making crypto accessible to everyone. And the advancements don't end there. TON Space will also support the transfer and viewing of NFTs, being a complete wallet for cryptocurrencies, NFTs, Jettons, and DNS. Not your keys - not your coins. Try TON Space now! Wallet Pay Another major update for @wallet is the introduction of a new UI 3.0 and the launch of Wallet Pay, a revolutionary cryptocurrency payment service for e-commerce and services. This unique tool integrates seamlessly with any Telegram bot or app, allowing users and customers to easily make payments in Toncoin, USDT, or Bitcoin directly through the Telegram messenger interface. We invite you to explore the Wallet Pay website to learn more about everything it can do or read the announcement article. Telegram Mini Apps, Bots & tApps Center Telegram Mini Apps Telegram Mini Apps platform and the new Wallet and TON Space features allow third-party developers to build various services integrated with Telegram and introduce a whole new Web3 dimension to hundreds of millions of Telegram users. Telegram Mini Apps are becoming a trend - popular rating catalogs Coingecko and CoinMarketCap have introduced separate pages for Telegram bots and apps to track this thriving ecosystem. tApps Center On August 17, we introduced the new catalog for apps, games, and bots, called tApps Center. The tApps Center aims to simplify the exploration of Telegram bots, games, and apps and support developers in bringing their visions to life and attracting new audiences. A quick and easy submission procedure, aided by the dedicated Apps Moderation Bot, ensures this. By working with Telegram's platform, developers can access its vast community of users and existing tooling. Prioritizing user privacy and security, the center offers a reliable space for developers to present their novel creations and provide positive experiences to users. Click here to read the announcement article. Tencent Cloud Partnership With the new strategic partnership between Tencent Cloud and TON Foundation, we’re pushing for further support for developers in Asia. For example, Telegram games built on TON can benefit from Tencent Cloud’s enriched gaming solution and reference cases. For all projects built on TON, Tencent Cloud will offer, subject to approval, a dedicated amount of cloud credits and product discounts made available through the Tencent Cloud Startup Program. This will help projects scale more efficiently, decrease operational costs, and provide a seamless user experience. Development TON Connect Teams working on TON-enabled wallets pushed themselves over the past three months, and we are pleased to report that all popular TON wallets now support TON Connect. Additionally, TON Connect has been integrated into all ton.org services (such as TON Domains, TON Bridge, etc.) and most of the popular network products. From now on, the Telegram Mini App and TON Space can also communicate via TON Connect. This achieves a unified method of connecting services and apps to wallets, regardless of whether the wallet is a mobile or desktop application, a browser extension, or a hardware device. In addition, we updated the TON Connect UI guidelines and published new SDKs. The TON Connect documentation has also been improved. If you’re new to TON Connect or want to understand its functionality and vision better, read our article TON Connect - The Future Without Passwords. Liquid Staking on Tonstakers The staking platform, Tonstakers, is now live, offering user-friendly staking enabled by cutting-edge TON smart contracts. The service supports an unlimited user base, allows a minimum staking amount of just 1 TON, and provides the option for immediate withdrawals. Tonstakers is built in alliance with the TON Core Developers team, open-source, audited, and non-custodial. Discover all the benefits on the Tonstakers website. We can’t forget to mention that Tonkeeper, a widely-used TON wallet, has already integrated Tonstakers staking into its interface. Bridge Update We updated the TON Bridge that facilitates asset transfers across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and TON networks. It's more versatile than ever, supporting WalletConnect and TON Connect, and is mobile-friendly. Additionally, it enables fast and affordable transfers of any compatible ERC-20 token between Ethereum and TON. Developer Tools This report briefly covers the developer tools topic, but if you want to dive deep into our Q3 development progress, read the TON Developer Report: Q3 2023 here. Integration of Blueprint and IntelliJ IDEA Blueprint and the TON plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, two great tools for developing TON smart contracts, are now integrated into each other. Create a new TON project in one click, use the code editor with everything you need, run tests, compile the contract with a hotkey or with a click on the toolbar, and deploy the contract just by scanning the QR code. Invention of Compressed NFT Krigga, a regular GitHub contributor, proposed a new type of "lightweight" NFT standard for large collections, easily scaling to thousands and millions of items. The new approach has achieved impressive benefits where you can create massive collections (as big as 1 billion items) with an affordable fixed deployment cost independent of the collection size. We expect this new approach to be widely used alongside standard TON NFTs. Events Developer Contests In July, the winners of the "Telegram Web Applications based on TON" developer contest were awarded with a prize fund of $60,000. A new "Telegram Mini App Contest" for developers with a $50,000 prize fund from the Telegram team is underway right now. Another live event that you can join is the TON Tact Challenge, with $30,000 in prizes for seasoned professionals and curious newcomers who want to learn a new programming language and compete for money at the same time. We covered all major events that happened in Q3 in our recently published TON Developer Report: Q3 2023. Click here to get into the details. The Gateway The Gateway is TON’s first in-person conference, designed by and for the TON Community and sponsored by the TON Foundation. With TON Blockchain, the mission is to put crypto in every pocket by acting as a gateway to Web3 for millions of people in Telegram. The Gateway is where the TON Ecosystem collaborates to achieve that mission. We are thrilled to invite the entire TON Community to The Gateway in Dubai on November 10-11, 2023, at Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre. What to expect? Two days packed with major announcements and exclusive ecosystem updates. Insightful talks and discussions by key partners, investors, and builders. Showcases highlighting innovative TON-based projects. Booth zone featuring a variety of ecosystem projects. With over 500 attendees, the Gateway offers a unique networking opportunity for everyone invested and interested in The Open Network. For those unable to attend in person, all talks will be live-streamed. For additional details and tickets, visit the conference website. Please note that the tickets are selling out fast, and with limited spaces, we expect the availability to disappear shortly. Conclusion In conclusion, the third quarter of 2023 has been an unprecedented period for the TON Ecosystem. From robust metrics signaling unwavering growth to groundbreaking initiatives like the TONxTelegram, the future couldn't be brighter. The various community initiatives and strategic alliances, including the Tencent Cloud partnership and the believers.ton fund are clearly a testament to TON's continually evolving ecosystem. Innovative tools and services, like Wallet Pay and TON Space, set the stage for TON's expansion, making crypto more accessible than ever before. In line with these accomplishments, our statement from earlier this year proves that we do as we say: "TON is the only modern blockchain finding new, sometimes unexpected, ways to attract users. In the second half of the year, we aim to surpass all of our previous efforts to bring even more users to TON.” From scaling to a broader audience with Telegram's 800 million users to diversifying assets through NFTs and secure staking platforms, TON's versatility is its strength. Its potential to integrate with existing platforms and services is unmatched, promising a future where TON is not just a part of the crypto conversation but leads it. So, if the thrilling developments of this last quarter are any indication, it's safe to say that TON is setting new industry standards, and the best is yet to come. 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/

TON Fires Up a Web3 Mini-App Renaissance in Asia
In November last year, we teamed up with Future3 Campus, Hashkey Capital, and Wanxiang Blockchain Labs to kick off our first TON Acceleration Program focused entirely on Asia. Our shared goal is to introduce builders to the TON Ecosystem and together build Telegram into the world’s biggest SuperApp. The TON accelerator represents our ongoing efforts and shared vision to build a sustainable Web 3 ecosystem where Future3 Campus will formulate dedicated training courses for selected projects and provide them with the support they need to compete in today’s Web3 market. TON Accelerator participants can take advantage of a spectrum of marketplace opportunities and present their products and services to our audience of industry leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs at the 2024 Web 3 Festival’s demo day pitch and showcase events. Top performers also have a great chance to get up to $500,000 in funding from Future3 Campus Eco Fund,” said Du Yu, General Manager of Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, Initiator of Future3 Campus. The logic behind Telegram SuperApp is obvious – Telegram Mini Apps built around Telegram Messenger and Wallet’s crypto payments form a coherent ecosystem. We decided to take the Asia-first approach because Asian audiences are familiar with the concept of SuperApps such as Weibo or WeChat. In contrast, in other regions, this concept seems quite alien, and all the attempts to introduce SuperApps have failed. The State of Web3 Development Despite 2023 not being the best year for Web3, the crypto ideology of building in bear markets proved strong, with new projects and features introduced almost nonstop last year. Strong and well-positioned teams remained building, ignoring the market volatility, regulatory pressure, and decrease in user adoption, to prepare their product for the next bull market regardless of when it comes. According to Alchemy’s 2023 Web3 Development Report, the number of EVM smart contracts created across Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon was up by 303% YoY in 2023. From TON’s perspective, the developer library downloads, active addresses, and mobile wallet activity reached record numbers in Q3 of 2023. This confirms that Web3 development continues to grow regardless of market trends. The TON Ecosystem displayed its development strength consistently across the last year, with new features and projects launching every week. The user adoption, new wallets, active wallets, and the number of active projects continue to grow and we believe that 2024 will be even better for the ecosystem than the last year. The Web3 markets are volatile and easily influenced by factors outside of Web3, such as black swan events, economic fluctuations, and regulatory pressure, but as long as the development activity continues, we’re confident that the bull market and new wave of user adoption will come sooner or later. Web3 Renaissance in Asia In just a month after opening the application process, we received almost 200 applications from various projects. After a thorough review, the committee admitted 12 projects to the program that will go through a 10-week curriculum focused on product development, operations, compliance, and marketing. The mentors will help them understand Telegram’s unique environment to leverage the built-in wallet and design stable tokenomics. “We are thrilled to welcome 12 outstanding teams to our accelerator run in partnership with Future3 Campus and the Hashkey network. This accelerator, as well as future accelerators, are an invitation for builders to leverage Telegram’s strong global base, TONs Web 3 technology, and key monetization primitives to build the next generation of SuperApp products.” commented Ian, Acceleration Lead, TON Foundation. Among the mentors are exceptional professionals and experts from both traditional backgrounds and Web3, including Dr.Xiao, Chairman & CEO of Hashkey Group, Deng Chao, President & Hashkey Capital CEO, and Dr. Zou, Chief Economist at Hashkey Group. The curriculum officially began on Jan 28, 2024 in Hong Kong during the private event with selected participants, and it will finish in May with a Demo Day event. Meet the 12 Selected Accelerator Teams It’s never easy to pick the best projects from almost 200 applicants, but after hundreds of hours reviewing the applications and consulting the experts, the committee selected these 12 teams.

TON Foundation and Animoca Brands’ Mocaverse Partner in a $20M Initiative to Support TON
TON Foundation and Animoca Brands’ Mocaverse Partner in a $20M Initiative to Support TON
At the end of last year, we announced that Animoca Brands, a leading Web3 gaming and metaverse company, became TON’s largest validator. We knew this was the beginning of something great, but we couldn’t have predicted the consequences of this step, which are now visible across the entire TON Ecosystem. Since then, Animoca Brands, with its portfolio of over 450 companies, embraced the TON infrastructure and the amazing TON Community and dedicated significant energy, time, and resources to boost TON’s adoption and highlight its potential as the go-to infrastructure for GameFi and Web3 gaming. Now, half a year later, this partnership is progressing to the next level as we team up with Animoca Brands' Mocaverse and MOCA Foundation to drive cross-ecosystem growth and establish TON as a premier platform for content, gaming, and community. TON x Animoca Brands x MOCA TON Foundation, Mocaverse, and MOCA Foundation agreed to create a $20M MOCA Coin and Toncoin reserve, which will be used to incentivize developer and user adoption of the TON ecosystem through joint incentives like The Open League, hackathons, and accelerator programs. The funds will leverage our combined ecosystems and incentivize cross-functional development aimed at boosting development and user activity. TON Foundation and MOCA Foundation will utilize go-to-market and token resources to facilitate user cross-pollination across the foundations’ respective ecosystems. With this partnership, Animoca Brands and Mocaverse will actively promote the benefits of launching and integrating with the TON blockchain for their partners developing gaming projects. "TON's vision of freedom of interaction aligns strategically with Animoca Brands' focus on digital property rights,” said Steve Yun, TON Foundation council President. “This partnership validates that TON has become the platform of choice for games and social apps. The reputation system we co-create will become a powerful opt-in platform through which users can express their identity and values on-chain. We are excited to take a leap with Animoca Brands towards widespread adoption of blockchain applications." TON Society ID TON Society ID will be a decentralized identity credential that allows 500 million TON users by 2028 to use governance power based on the TON blockchain. It will enable the community to build a true and meaningful digital identity through a reputation system within the TON Society's new community governance framework. Governance will not only involve voting on proposals but also finding consensus through open debate, and participation in the TON Society ID is entirely opt-in and 100% the user's choice. The TON Society ID system will be a mutually beneficial program for founders to identify active users and for users to gain value by generating content related to their favorite applications. Mocaverse is the marquee consumer network with an interoperable infrastructure layer of Account, Identity, Reputation, and PointFi systems seeded by Animoca Brands. Under this partnership, Mocaverse will support the development of a reputation scoring system on TON and will contribute to the TON Society ID by sharing data from their gaming and content systems, as well as providing tech support. At the epicenter of the Animoca Brands ecosystem, Mocaverse owns the Web3 identity and PointFi system, where Moca NFT holders and Moca ID users can seamlessly navigate and engage across and beyond 400+ rewarding experiences from Animoca Brands’ investment portfolio with on-chain proof of reputation. With the integration of the Moca ID, TON Society ID will benefit from the rich on-chain content and community. “The collaboration between Mocaverse, TON Foundation, and MOCA Foundation is an exciting milestone on our shared mission of Web3 mass adoption and the advancement of digital property rights,” Yat Siu, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands. “The unique partnership between Telegram and the TON Foundation and the collaboration revealed today provide an opportunity to bring Moca ID and the Realm Network SDK to Telegram’s 900 million users, which we believe could exponentially magnify all our respective network effects.” Through mutual development, each ecosystem will receive an injection of new tools and users, as well as funds, furthering our mutual goal of large-scale Web3 user adoption. Animoca Brands, their portfolio companies, and Moca Network will provide the consumer layer of content focused on culture and entertainment to the TON Ecosystem, the Web3 infrastructure of Telegram, with over 900 million active users.

TON Foundation Announces Telegram Web3 Grants
TON Foundation Announces Telegram Web3 Grants
We're rolling out a new Telegram Web3 Grants program that's all about boosting the growth of the TON Ecosystem on Telegram Messenger. This isn't just another blockchain accelerator; we pledge to create a world where Telegram becomes the all-in-one platform for all your needs – payments, utilities & tools, productivity, messaging, content, and even gaming. "Today, we're launching the new grants program to encourage and support developers building within the Telegram Web3 ecosystem," said Anthony Tsivarev, Director of Developer Relations at TON Foundation. "TON's speed, scalability, affordability, and the unique user-growth opportunity afforded via Telegram is a helping hand no other blockchain system provides today. Now, more developers than ever can harness the garden of possibilities on TON and grow their ideas into real-world solutions." Grants Categories To ensure we're distributing the funds efficiently and equally, we've broken the program into four categories, so whether you're just starting or have a full-blown project, there's something for you. And for those on the hunt for some venture capital backing, we have you covered, too. Type A – Initial Deployment Type A grants target initial deployments or proof of concept applications on the Telegram Web Apps platform. This also includes Web3 infrastructure based on the TON blockchain, with examples like @wallet, Wallet Pay, and TON Connect. If you've already launched a project, we're open to reviewing it and potentially providing a retrospective grant. You can aim for a grant of up to $10,000 in TON. Please note that this grant doesn't replace venture funding for expansion beyond this initial stage. Type B – Live TON-based Projects with Existing User Base This category is for live projects with an existing user base on the TON blockchain but hasn't integrated with Telegram yet. The target grant amount for this category is up to $10,000 in TON. Type C – Live Non-TON-based Projects with Community If your project is live on another blockchain, but you're eyeing an expansion or considering moving to the TON blockchain and Telegram, this grant type is for you. We determine grant amounts based on specific milestones, looking at factors like user numbers, transactions, and Total Value Locked (TVL). The grant amounts for this category range between $20,000 and $50,000 in TON. Type D – Projects Seeking Venture Funding The Grants Program doesn't provide venture funding, but don't worry, we will help you out. We will help you connect with VC funds or guide you for evaluation through TONcoin.Fund. Since 2022, we received over 450 submissions to the TON Grants program run by the TON Foundation and distributed more than $1.2M to 100+ applicant projects. Apply Now 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/
TON Foundation Collaborates with Leading DEX Curve Finance to Incubate a TON-Based Stable Swap Project
TON Foundation Collaborates with Leading DEX Curve Finance to Incubate a TON-Based Stable Swap Project
The parade of exciting DeFi collaborations continues to grow. TON Foundation, the non-profit organization accelerating the growth of The Open Network Blockchain (TON), has teamed up with Curve Finance, a leading DEX, to incubate a TON-based stable swap project. The collaboration will create new opportunities for stablecoin trading on the TON blockchain, opening the doors to a more accessible and efficient trading environment. Leveraging Curve’s market-making expertise for seamless trading The upcoming project will use Curve’s constant-function market maker (CFMM) technology. By integrating this advanced mechanism, we aim to simplify stablecoin swaps, enhance the user experience, and minimize price impact during trades. Curve’s CFMM technology has helped revolutionize decentralized finance (DeFi), and its integration on TON will only amplify the impact of stablecoin trading. We’ll work together to select an independent development team to build the new project, ensuring transparency and community input throughout the process. Michael Egorov, founder of Curve Finance, will play an advisory role, offering expertise in protocol mechanics and development strategies. “In the four months since USDT’s launch, our community has demonstrated a historic level of demand for the token,” said Vlad Degen (https://x.com/@VladDegen), DeFi Lead from TON Foundation. “You will soon see more stablecoins and assets from other chains, such as BTC, on TON. We need a native CFMM for a comfortable interaction — this is mandatory for our growth! Working with one of the industry’s leading market makers to incubate this new project was a natural choice.” The selected team will implement Curve Finance’s stable swap formula and receive support to help grow the project. An allocation of the new project’s native tokens will also be airdropped to qualified users, including veCRV holders. Meeting surging demand for TON-based stablecoins With USDT on TON reaching a net circulation of $729.9 million just four months after its launch - the fastest-growing USDT launch ever - it’s clear demand for stablecoins on TON is surging. With more assets being developed on TON daily, the Curve Finance collaboration will meet this growing demand by delivering a better stablecoin trading experience while minimizing price impact, boosting liquidity, and contributing to the continued adoption of TON blockchain. With the upcoming TON-based stable swap project, we're enhancing trading conditions and further propelling TON's Web3 ecosystem. Teams interested in applying to develop the project can apply at the link below: https://forms.gle/sdkT4fWLyCpRvQWD8 Submissions are open one week after the announcement! Until September 24. About Curve Finance Curve Finance is a leading global decentralized exchange (DEX) designed for efficient, fully automated, and low-slippage trading of stablecoins and equal tokens, also having its stablecoin and lending platform. Established in 2020 and presently headquartered in Switzerland, Curve Finance quickly distinguished itself within the DeFi ecosystem by being one of the few platforms to make use of an automated market maker (AMM) algorithm instead of an order book to match liquidity. 本文转载自:https://blog.ton.org/
