TONcoin.Fund x TON Accelerator Cohort Showcase, DWF tie up

The recently launched TON Accelerator program is hosting the first cohort showcase for TONcoin.Fund and its accelerator partners.

The projects have been sourced by the TON Foundation through three methods during the first half of the year:

1. A global hackathon with DoraHacks, which resulted in over 200 submissions. The event culminated in 10 winners who received a total of $300K for further development.
2. TON builder meetups, which included 15 hacker sessions with over 800 attendees in various cities around the world.
3. TON Accelerator submissions, which received over 100 entries in its first week of launch.

The showcase will feature eight early-stage projects that are building across different verticals, ranging from financial applications such as decentralized perpetual contracts to technical domains such as TON storage. Once the private session is completed, a publicly available version will be made for the community to view.

Additionally, DWF Labs, the global digital asset market maker and multi-stage Web3 investment firm, has joined as the newest member of the TON Accelerator partners.

Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of DWF Lab, stated: “DWF Labs and their willingness to support DeFi primitives through liquidity provisioning will be instrumental in establishing a strong DeFi foundation on TON.”

He added: “DWF Labs has been a consistent supporter of projects on TON, as evident from their past investments.

“We are committed to providing comprehensive support to selected projects. We also actively assist projects with their tokenomics, market making, and liquidity provision. Our ongoing investments demonstrate our strong dedication to projects on TON, and we are excited to collaborate further with the TON Foundation and the vibrant community.”

Attention TON holders

TON Community has proposed implementing a deflationary mechanism to burn 50% of all network fees, including transaction and storage fees, in order to decrease the circulating supply.

Cast your vote on the proposal and make your voice heard. The community vote is open to everyone with a TON balance in their wallet. Voting starts today, 5 June, and ends on 13 June. Subsequently, the TON validators' vote will be held on 15 June. For the proposal to pass, at least 70% of all validators must vote in favor of the deflationary mechanism.

​TON Community proposes burning 50% of network fees
The TON Community has proposed implementing a deflationary mechanic to burn 50% of all transaction fees, including transaction and storage fees, decreasing the Toncoin circulating supply.

This initiative is an essential step for the future development of the ecosystem, which unites the interests of users and validators.

TON validators receive staking rewards from two sources – transaction fees paid by users and new coins issued for each processed block. With further growth of the network adoption, fewer coins will enter circulation, and validators will still keep 50% of transaction fees for themselves. The deflationary mechanism will only affect the transaction and storage fees while the amount of newly issued coins remains unchanged.
The proposed burn ratio is 50% of all transaction fees paid by users.
We estimate the immediate burn amount will be around 350-400 TON daily, 50% of daily fees of 700-800 TON. As the TON ecosystem grows and the number of daily transactions increases, the burned amount will grow, eventually leading to a visible decrease in the total supply.
If you are interested in the exact details of the proposed implementation, you are welcome to consult the whitepaper or dive directly into the implementation’s source code - https://github.com/ton-society/ton-footsteps

​bemo partners with DWF Labs to launch first liquid staking protocol on The Open Network (TON)

This is a massive event for the TON DeFi sphere.

So, how is liquid staking any different from traditional staking?

Unlike 'regular' staking, the bemo protocol allows Toncoin holders to receive rewards while maintaining control over their digital tokens.

How does it work?

When a user deposits TON into the pool, he is given stTON tokens in exchange, which are equivalent to their share in the pool. These stTON tokens can be used in any DeFi service without the need to remove the staked Toncoin.

DWF Labs has made history by becoming the first liquidity provider to stake TON via bemo. The success of bemo's liquid staking not only confirms the investment potential of The Open Network (TON), but also demonstrates that the broader DeFi trend of liquid staking has a bright future within TON Ecosystem.

bemo plans to continue attracting both private and institutional investors in order to reach its goal of $100M TVL.

​Today, TON Accelerator Program has announced that it will allocate up to $25 million this year to projects that have the potential to make a significant impact on the expanding TON Ecosystem.

The capital will be provided by TONcoin.Fund, a $250 million TON-based fund dedicated to supporting founders, and will be funneled into various key projects, with a particular focus on decentralized finance (DeFi). Each project will receive between $50,000 and $250,000.

In addition to funding, each investment will be accompanied by partnership and mentorship from our accelerator partners, including: Gotbit, a hedge fund and market-making company offering trading and risk management solutions; Web3Port, a developer of tools facilitating connections between Web3 startups and contributors to drive innovation; Tonstarter, the leading fundraising platform on TON; TEB, an incubator for Web3 developers based in South Korea; and Cypher Capital, a United Arab Emirates-based multi-strategy crypto investment firm.

The pool of TON Accelerator Program partners is anticipated to expand even further as TON Foundation continues to establish strategic partnerships with major accelerators in the Web3 space.

“We are delighted to unveil TON Accelerator Program as our ecosystem continues to evolve and attract new talent,” said Justin Hyun, Head of Incubation and Growth at TON Foundation. “This is the beginning of many different incubators which will be supported in the future. Funding forms part of our local hubs rollout strategy and our ecosystem will work to attract new developers as well as successful repeat founders, based across a variety of key global locations.”

“This is a program that is unique within the Web3 universe today,” said Bill Qian, Chairman of Cypher Capital. "TON Accelerator Program is taking the well-known incubator principle from the Web2 ecosystem, refining it, and evolving it by incorporating the best practices of Web3 protocols and methodologies. We are delighted to play our part in this next generation program.”

The initial selection of projects for the funding round will focus on those that took part in Hack-a-TONx DoraHacks, a two-month-long virtual hackathon organized in collaboration with DoraHacks. DoraHacks is a leading global hacker organization that acts as a bridge, connecting hackers to enterprise challenges and entrepreneurial ideas.

Submissions are currently open for all MVP-ready projects built on TON (i.e. support TVM & TON smart-contract language) that are seeking marketing, business, and technology support. Proof-of-concept or prototype teams that require initial technical support should apply for earlier-stage grants.
