A new Telegram update allows developers to assign custom usernames to bots using Fragment

Telegram has introduced a new feature that enables developers to assign any username purchased on Fragment to their bots without having to follow the usual bot suffix rule. Previously, every new bot created in Telegram had to end with the special bot suffix, which limited developer creativity and branding possibilities.

Fragment is a decentralized marketplace, operating on TON Blockchain, for buying and selling Telegram usernames. Now, in exchange for 5,000 Toncoin, developers can use any username for their bot which they have purchased on Fragment.

You can find the complete list of award recipients here:

We want to take this opportunity to praise the efforts and enthusiasm of the TON dev community: These teams took it upon themselves to create products, many of which required painstaking work for months on end.

Among all the participants, Oleg Baranov separated himself from the pack by creating a package of products: a TON library in Golang, TON Proxy apps, and low-level documentation. After all was said and done, Baranov took home over $94,000.

TON Foundation and TON Community would like to thank everyone who participated in TON Awards 2022!

❓ What are stablecoins and how to get them on TON?

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency whose value is tied to the value of a specific asset — the US dollar, for example. Stablecoins in the TON network are Jettons, which we have covered in depth in our previous post.

Stablecoins can be a reliable tool for storing assets and protecting them from volatile token price fluctuations.

Why are stablecoins necessary for the development of a blockchain?

Stablecoins allow you to easily manage your assets. Unlike traditional financial instruments, you can conduct transactions and payments quickly and easily, avoiding multiple hurdles. This advantage is especially valuable for international transfers, where stable Jettons can substantially speed up the process while reducing fees and currency exchange costs.

The DeFi market on TON is still in its early stages. We hope that in the future there will be a number of new services that actively employ stablecoins: DEXs for futures trading, lending protocols, smart contract casinos, and others.

🎁 How to get stablecoins on TON?

Although The Open Network does not yet have its own stablecoin, it is still possible to purchase stable currencies. The RSquad bridge will help you with this.

Today, TON Foundation has finally released a bridge to transfer tokens from the Ethereum network to the TON network and vice versa. The current TON Bridge will be upgraded with new functionality.

The TON Trustless Bridge is planned to go live in the third quarter. It is a special bridge with unique features, whose security is guaranteed by the blockchain itself. Once it’s released, users will be able to create Jettons on other networks.

​Rules for digital security

As The Open Network (TON) Ecosystem continues to grow, we’d like to remind you about the basic steps you need to take to stay safe in the cryptocurrency space.

Rule #1: Invest carefully

There are a huge variety of NFT, decentralized finance (DeFi), and GameFi projects operating on TON today. We urge you to carefully study each and every project that you plan to invest in. Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that you could encounter either scammers (such as pump-and-dump schemes) or incompetent project teams.

Rule #2: Store your seed phrase securely

Remember: If you lose your 24-word seed phrase, you’ll lose access to your wallet and digital tokens forever.

Write your seed phrase down on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place. Never store a screenshot of your seed phrase on your phone or computer.

In short, never store your seed phrase on a device connected to the internet.

It’s also worth reading our “Where can I store my Toncoin?” guide for more information.

Rule #3: Study the cryptocurrency exchange instruction guides

If you want to make a new transaction that you’ve never made before, you should first make a test transaction with a small amount (e.g. 0.5 TON) to make sure that everything is working as it should.

Remember: There are many instances when the cryptocurrency exchange's technical support will not be able to help you with a transaction.

Rule #4: Be careful with P2P transfers

The P2P sphere is especially prone to scammers.

If you buy and sell Toncoin via a P2P marketplace, don’t forget to read the safe trading tips from the @cryptobot team.

Rule #5: Don’t forget that the TON App directory does not represent official projects

A project team only needs to pass a simplified verification, rather than a fully-fledged one, to join the ton.app directory.

Therefore, the fact that a project is part of TON App does not guarantee security.

Rule #6: Don’t trust unfamiliar project teams

This applies to mining pools, staking pools, NFT collections and any project that promises you an income.

Always be skeptical about promises of easy money. Before investing in a project, always try to find an appropriate endorsement or mention in authorative TON materials.

If no mentions are found, then interacting with the project may involve risks and we recommend that you conduct your own research before proceeding any further.

Please follow these simple rules and only trust official TON information sources.
