The Open Network has been audited by SlowMist.

SlowMist, an in-demand auditing firm, has audited the security of the TON blockchain’s core.

The audit was a resounding success because no vulnerabilities were found. The report can be found on Toncoin’s page on CoinMarketCap in the “Audits” section.

In November 2022, auditing behemoth CertiK sifted through TON’s core code and smart contracts — and found zero critical issues.

The latest @wallet bot update: a new interface, a QR code scanner, and t.me domains

The team behind the @wallet Telegram bot has released a new update that delivers quality-of-life improvements to make your crypto experience even more accessible.

A new interface

The user experience wouldn’t be complete without a streamlined interface. In this latest update, the UI now contains a “Paste” button, which makes entering long wallet addresses much smoother.

Moreover, the send crypto screen has a built-in QR code scanner.

TON Web3 addresses

Speaking of long addresses — @wallet has integrated support for short human-readable “username.t.me” domains to send and receive Toncoin, eliminating the possibility of bungling long addresses or copying the wrong one. You’ll have to visit Telegram’s domain platform, Fragment, to purchase a domain, but more information is available here.

Transaction history

Rounding out this line-up of solid improvements is a revamped transaction history. After making transactions with your Telegram contacts, you’ll now see their avatars instead of colored circles — a nice little touch making your history more visually pleasant.

To experience these new features, you must update the Telegram app to its latest version.

The results are in for the Token Bridge smart contract competition.

For two weeks, developers and programming specialists racked their brains in an attempt to find potential weaknesses in the Token Bridge’s smart contracts.

By the end of the competition, organizers had received four submissions in the Solidity programming language and six in FunC.

However, none of the submissions uncovered any critical vulnerabilities.

The competition did recognize three individuals for suggesting minor optimizations to the smart contracts, each of whom took home 200 Toncoin.

​Happy New Year, everyone!🥳🎅

Dear TON community,

We wish you a Happy New Year and hope you usher in 2023 in style!

2022 was a watershed for the TON blockchain and its ecosystem.

We saw the rise of TON NFT and TON DeFi markets and new products and services led by talented developers and entrepreneurs. We also witnessed Toncoin’s meteoric rise, having landed on some of the top crypto exchanges in the world and having entered the top 25 cryptocurrencies on the planet.

We paid close attention to and followed every development of the TON Foundation’s releases, which delivered on all its promises and launched key components for the decentralized Web3 internet by adhering to its roadmap to a T.

And perhaps most importantly, The Open Network established some influential partnerships, among which was none other than Telegram, which selected the TON blockchain as its base to launch its Fragment platform.

This past year was nothing short of spectacular, and it paved the way for further successful development of the TON blockchain and its ecosystem.

Without a doubt, 2023 will be jam-packed with even more releases, news, and events.

The TON ecosystem is set to onboard millions of new users and more dev teams, while the TON Foundation continues to develop the internet of the future, which is based on original Web3 principles.

Of course, we couldn’t have done any of this without you — the TON community — so we’re extending a big thank you to all of you for being with us in the thick of things. Here’s to an even more successful year for TON and, once again, Happy New Year!

Scams spotted in the TON ecosystem

We’ve noticed that scams have been on the rise lately and urge users to be extra careful when interacting with TON ecosystem services and products.

Remember:

▪️ Your secret recovery phrase is the only way to gain access to your crypto wallet. Never show it to people and try to avoid entering it on third-party sites and services.

▪️ No crypto wallet on the blockchain can be “blocked.” Any app claiming to “unblock” your wallet is a scam.

​Mixin Network will add support for TON.

Mixin Network, a distributed ledger allowing the transfer of digital assets with zero network fees, will add Toncoin support for its wallet, Mixin Messenger, and its MixinBot on Telegram.

Mixin Network is a decentralized Web3 platform with open-source code, a developed ecosystem comprising many dApps, its own messenger, and a crypto wallet, Mixin Messenger, which supports 47 public blockchains and most well-known cryptocurrencies. The network has around $1 billion worth of assets.

​TON Storage

On Dec. 31, 2022, the TON Foundation presented to the community TON Storage, a technology that reliably stores data of any size on the decentralized TON network.

It’s important to note that every key component for a Web3 internet from TON’s roadmap was released on schedule.

TON developers have published an article on TON Storage, and we’re going to give a run-down of its most exciting aspects.

TON Storage: What you need to know

▪️ In the modern world, there’s only one safe way to store data: by spreading the information among as many storage devices as possible and saving it in various locations.

▪️ The technology behind TON Storage is akin to BitTorrent’s. Like torrents, users download files directly from one another’s devices without using servers or data centers.

▪️ With a special utility, any user can upload a file onto The Open Network and make it available for download. The following user who downloads the file will automatically become a storage node and join in seeding, while the next person will download from the first two nodes (users) simultaneously. This way, file copies will be stored in various locations worldwide.

▪️ Anyone can become a storage node on the TON network and receive Toncoin directly from users for storing files and data.

▪️ Uploaded files on the network are immutable, and the integrity is confirmed via cryptography.

▪️ On regular torrents, there are no guarantees of secure storage and no financial incentive. Files are available as long as one node on the network is storing them. TON Storage can provide data security by creating special smart contracts between users and storage nodes. The smart contracts guarantee that users will pay the node a fixed price for storing their files.

▪️ TON Storage is integrated with TON Sites. Now you can host a TON site in TON Storage.

▪️ TON Storage is a suitable option for storing NFT content. The TON NFT standard was designed with the possibility of migrating to TON Storage in mind, and now collection creators can use this feature.

▪️ On TON Storage, you can upload private data, which will be encrypted beforehand with the help of your TON wallet keys. This will provide excellent security and allow users to avoid using log-ins and passwords.

▪️ The TON Foundation encourages developers to create products based on TON Storage, from convenient apps similar to Dropbox to non-commercial torrent portals for file sharing.

▪️ The TON Foundation will be concentrating on integrating TON Storage with TON Payments to enable rewarding storage nodes not only for storing files but also for quick sharing.

▪️ We invite the community to download a file from TON Storage here in a regular web browser (you’ll have to know how to open TON sites).

Congratulations to the community for launching the final key Web3 component.

2023 will be the year we see the synergy of TON’s Web3 components and the dawn of the decentralized internet.

​Telegram client iMe Messenger now supports TON.

Telegram client iMe Messenger and Crypto Wallet, which has over 7 million downloads and serves over 1 million users, has integrated the TON network.

Users of the service have received new possibilities to interact with The Open Network’s blockchain in the app’s interface, such as:

▪️ Sending Toncoin to Telegram contacts in chats.
▪️ Storing Toncoin in iMe’s noncustodial crypto wallet.
▪️ Sending and receiving Toncoin via wallet addresses and QR codes.
▪️ Creating and importing TON addresses.

iMe is a client developed with Telegram’s open-source code.

The service has zero access to users’ data (chats, telephone numbers, media files, etc.), doesn’t store it, and doesn’t pass it on to third parties.

iMe and similar clients are alternative solutions to Telegram’s app. They have no influence on the development of the messenger and do not interact with users’ personal information — they only provide an interface through which people can interact with the messenger’s services.

TON is now the fourth blockchain to integrate with iMe, joining Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon.

You can download the iMe app via the links below:

Anonymous offers on Fragment

Today, auction platform Fragment released its newest feature. Users can now make anonymous offers on usernames.

How it works:

If you want a specific Telegram username that’s not currently on Fragment, you can now anonymously reach out to its owner and make an offer.

The username’s owner will receive a special message from Telegram without disclosing your personal information (the username’s owner will only be able to see the address to your TON wallet).

If a user is interested in a specific username, Telegram will notify them as soon as it becomes available for auction.

When making an offer, Fragment will charge a fee of 1–100 Toncoin, depending on the sum of the offer. The payment is needed to confirm the buyer’s intention.

All transactions on Fragment happen on the fast and scalable TON blockchain.

You can find more information on Fragment’s newest feature here:

​A giveaway from Megaton Finance

Decentralized exchange Megaton Finance (read more about it here) and the TON Community are planning a massive giveaway where people will have the chance to receive MEGA, the platform’s native token.

To participate in the giveaway, you must complete a few simple tasks, which can give you some advantages.

For example, you can learn how to send cryptocurrencies, such as USDT, USDC, and ETH, from other blockchains to the TON network via Orbit’s cross-chain bridge.

Also, it would be a good idea to know how and where to buy Toncoin and how to send it to a TON crypto wallet.

List of tasks:

1. Join Megaton Finance Community
2. Send TON to your Crypto Wallet
3. Deposit oTON in KLAYswap or Meshswap
4. Send Cross-chain Assets to your Crypto Wallet 1
5. Send Cross-chain Assets to your Crypto Wallet 2

Is it necessary to complete every task?

No. Every task is a separate activity with its own prize pool. You can complete as many tasks as you like. However, the more tasks you complete, the higher the chances of winning a prize.

How to complete the tasks:

You need to go to the event’s pages and follow the instructions. At the bottom of every page, you can enter your TON crypto wallet’s address that you’ll be using for the tasks and confirm participation.

The giveaway will end on Jan. 18, 2023, and the results will be published on Jan. 20, 2023.

Good luck to everyone!

​Getgems is launching a New Year’s-themed NFT game.

NFT marketplace Getgmes, with support from the TON Community, is launching a New Year’s-themed NFT game, “New Year Eggs,” which will have an unusual yet entertaining game mechanic.

How the game is played:

Starting tomorrow, users will get an opportunity to buy NFT Eggs on the Getgems launchpad. The cost per Egg will be 0.5–1 TON, all of which will go directly into the contest's prize fund and, eventually, be awarded to the winner.

Every NFT Egg owner will be able to “collide” with opponents. The collisions are controlled by a “rock-paper-scissors” mechanic in the Getgems interface.

If your Egg stays intact — i.e., it doesn’t break — its stats will increase, and it will move on to the next round. The game will run until an Egg is crowned champion, whose owner will receive the entire prize fund.

Guides:

▪️ Game instructions
▪️ How to prepare for the sale of Eggs

​Introducing TON Connect 2.0

The TON community is launching TON Connect 2.0 today, an open-source standard allowing users to log in to internet services safely and without usernames or passwords.

This next iteration of TON Connect, launched in April, has received new yet important functions and was a genuine team effort from the community.

One of the key advantages TON Connect 2.0 has over its previous version is the ability to interact directly with decentralized applications based on TON. Users can now connect to mobile and desktop apps, Telegram bots, and other dApps in the interfaces of TON-based crypto wallets.

Connecting to apps happens in the wallet’s browser, and they’ll be available to be used in the wallet — without leaving the app.

TON Connect 2.0 allows users to sign in to online platforms with a single click, granting access to all of Web3’s use cases.

Tonkeeper already supports TON Connect 2.0’s standard, but other wallets have been working on implementing it.

We encourage developers and businesses to integrate TON Connect 2.0 into their products.

You can find TON Connect 2.0’s SDK documentation, helpful integration guides, and a description of the updated standard here:
https://tonkeeper.gitbook.io/ton-connect-2.0-guide-for-sdk

TON Connect 2.0 has all the tools needed to become a network-wide standard.

​Announcing the global Hack-a-TONx DoraHacks with a prize pool of $180,000

The TON project and DoraHacks platform have announced a virtual hackathon that will kick off on Jan. 30, 2023, and end on March 31.

Participants are to create Web3 products based on TON, such as:

▪️ DeFi
▪️ NFTs
▪️ SBTs
▪️ DAOs
▪️ GameFi
▪️ Metaverses.

We’re anticipating seeing thousands of Web2 and Web3 developers take part in the event and who will take home a total of $180,000 worth of Toncoin.

All the necessary materials and information on the hackathon are available here:

Yesterday, TON Society’s Telegram channel addressed the TON community in a call for help promoting the event.

If you have experience coding on TON, you can help us bring awareness to the hackathon.

All you need to do is write and publish an article that entices and attracts readers to the competition. For instance, you can describe your experience in past TON hackathons or give pointers for beginner TON developers. Writers stand to win up to $300 (paid in Toncoin).

You can find more information on the TON Society’s initiative in this post.

We encourage all developers to spread the word about and participate in this large-scale hackathon!
