​Attention TON DNS domain owners

The first TON DNS auctions started on July 30, 2022, and we kindly ask users to note that the deadline for renewing domain name ownership is fast approaching.

We want to remind you that, unlike traditional centralized domain registrars, TON DNS does not require a conventional renewal fee. Instead, it is enough to demonstrate ‘signs of life’ by sending a minimal amount of Toncoin (TON).

Please carefully read the following instructions: Non-renewed domains will be returned to the TON DNS open auction.

Instructions:

(1) Go to the dns.ton.org website using a regular browser or the decentralized Tonkeeper browser within the wallet interface.
(2) Connect the TON wallet that was used during the auction.
(3) Click on the "My Domains" button to view a list of your domains along with their expiration dates.
(4) If there is less than three months remaining before a domain's ownership expires, we highly recommend renewing it immediately. To do this, click on the respective domain, then select "renew this domain," and confirm the transaction within your wallet.

Please note:

This message only applies to TON DNS owners — short Telegram (t.me) usernames do not need to be renewed.

Since the start of the auction, a total of 27,000 domain names have been registered, involving 6,000,000 Toncoin (which were subsequently burned and removed from circulation).

Introducing TonStat – a new tool for analyzing TON Blockchain.

The First Stage Labs team has launched TonStat, an analytical service that allows users to easily monitor key metrics on The Open Network (TON).

TonStat tracks various indicators, including the number of registered network addresses and wallets, the volume of Toncoin burned or staked, the number of NFTs issued, the amount of validators and several other important metrics.

The project will be continuously developed and updated with new charts. First Stage Labs aims to provide a comprehensive description of all the processes taking place on the blockchain, enabling users to independently assess the development dynamics of each ecosystem segment.

The TonStat website is able to display timely and accurate data thanks to the efforts of the TonAPI team.

​Storm Trade, a new DEX on TON Blockchain, commences public testing

The Storm Trade platform intends to establish itself as the first decentralized protocol for trading derivatives on TON and has recently launched an open test of the exchange on their testnet.

During this test phase, participants have the opportunity to trade a diverse range of resources with price values, even though they do not involve real assets. These include everything from cryptocurrencies to commodities like oil and gold, and even shares in famous companies like Tesla.

The team behind Storm Trade has set a timeline of two months to complete the test phase, after which they plan to launch the platform on their mainnet.

Notably, each user who participates in the test phase will be eligible for a reward.

​Introducing TON-based DAO voting solution TON.vote

During the recent TON Ecosystem referendum matters such as voting on optimizing tokenomics or implementing a network fee burn mechanism were on the agenda, with the TON.vote service playing a crucial role. Today, we would like to delve deeper into TON.vote and take a closer look at how it works.

TON.vote is a decentralized on-chain governance service specifically developed by the Orbs platform for DAOs. This protocol supports referendums and voting directly on the blockchain, eliminating the need for centralized services.

With each new vote initiated by a user, a separate smart contract is created. These contracts operate independently of the TON and Orbs teams, guaranteeing complete decentralization and allowing any user to follow the link and verify voting results.

Prominent dApps such as STON.fi, EvAA, TON Punks and Fanzee have joined Orbs as partners for the launch of TON.vote. As the protocol progresses, any service within TON Ecosystem will have the opportunity to use TON.vote for conducting fully decentralized on-chain referendums.

We hope that TON.vote will empower the ecosystem and provide a transparent platform for community decision-making.

​DeDust has implemented a TON Bridge, enabling users to seamlessly transfer tokens between Ethereum and TON Blockchain

DeDust users can now directly transfer tokens between TON Blockchain and the Ethereum blockchain using the official bridge. Additionally, DeDust's built-in bridge includes support for the Wallet Connect protocol, enabling the use of various crypto wallets such as Uniswap Wallet, SafePal, Rainbow, and others.

Previously, in order to access TON Ecosystem from Ethereum, users had to rely on Metamask. However, thanks to these new developments, accessing TON has become easier than ever before. DeDust has also initiated a user reward program, distributing 120,000 TON tokens to liquidity providers. It is important to note that when utilizing the bridge for transfers, network fees on both blockchains still apply. Likewise, some users may experience stability issues with Trust Wallet when connecting via the Wallet Connect protocol. In this case, we recommend using the built-in Trust Wallet browser or an alternative wallet altogether.

​TON has entered the top-5 blockchain ecosystems for developer influx

Electric Capital recently conducted an extensive study analyzing the activity of blockchain developers in various crypto projects over the past year. The findings of this study have now been published in a comprehensive report.

Despite the obvious challenges faced by the industry, which has seen a 22% decline in blockchain developers compared to June last year, TON Ecosystem has displayed remarkable resilient growth. Over the past 12 months alone, the total number of TON developers has surged by 102%, and we now have over 170 specialists working in the ecosystem.

As a result, TON took 4th position in the rankings of developer growth over the year, marking a truly outstanding achievement, particularly given the market conditions.

As you know, developers play a special role in The Open Network's philosophy, and we warmly welcome all specialists and builders to join the ecosystem and help us reach mass adoption.

Liquid staking is now available on TON

What is liquid staking?

Liquid staking is a crypto solution that allows users to stake their tokens and earn rewards without sacrificing flexibility. Unlike traditional staking, which requires users to completely lock up their crypto for a specific period, liquid staking provides users with special tokens that can be freely traded and used in DeFi apps while they continue to earn rewards. This solution offers both earning potential and liquidity, all while contributing to the security and stability of the network.

Liquid staking on TON

TON Foundation has recently developed a new liquid staking contract to improve the convenience and accessibility of the ecosystem's DeFi segment. These smart contracts for liquid staking are currently being trialed on the testnet and are expected to be launched on the mainnet soon. Once released, the community will be informed about the various possibilities and solutions for liquid staking in the ecosystem.

Mooli has also extended support to the TON Connect standard, enabling users to connect to the service through any TON wallet of their choice.

TON TVL has increased by over 2,200%

According to DefiLlama, the Total Value Locked (TVL) in TON increased by over 2,200% in the last four months to the current $18М.

We can attribute this to multiple factors, including the recently launched DeFi Liquidity Incentive Program, the continuous support for TON-based projects, and the ever-growing public interest in innovative TON dApps.

DeFi remains the dominant area of the ecosystem thanks to TON's scalable and shardable architecture, designed to process heavy network demand with near-instant and affordable transactions. The leading dApp with the highest TVL remains Megaton Finance, currently standing at $9.8M.

Over the last 30 days, the TVL on DeDust increased by over 371% to $4.8M while STON.fi achieved a growth of over 480% to $3.4M TVL.
