🤔 DeDust rolls out routing feature
DeDust.io introduces a new routing mechanism—this means you can seamlessly trade tokens that don't have a direct pair, all with a single click.
Here's how it works: Suppose you've got a hefty amount of jUSDC hiding in your wallet and you're looking to get your hands on some $SCALE. DeDust will find the most efficient route for your exchange, like jUSDC -> jUSDT -> SCALE or jUSDC -> TON -> SCALE. This nifty feature makes trading on DeDust.io not only simpler but also more beneficial.
And it's not just traders who win. It also brings good news to liquidity providers—the new routes will now tap into previously underused pairs (e.g., BOLT/SCALE), creating extra earning opportunities for the liquidity providers involved in these pairs.
So what are you waiting for? Get over to DeDust.io and give routing a spin!
Sincerely,
Scaleton Team

🔐 A future without passwords enabled by TON Connect
In the digital age, usernames and passwords have become a tedious standard — accepted, despite being hated.
That's why we're changing it with TON Connect, offering a secure, streamlined login method for services and applications. Dive into why conventional logins are waning and how TON Connect redefines digital access.
▪️ Login standards are obsolete and dangerous
Passwords get lost, stolen, and forgotten. They're a weak link in our digital security. With TON Connect, you can log in to services and apps with a single click through your TON wallet.
▪️ TON Connect evolved
Initially pioneered by the Tonkeeper team, TON Connect has rapidly grown and is now a network-wide standard.
▪️ Broad support
All popular TON wallets, including Tonkeeper, Tonhub, MyTonWallet, OpenMask, TON Wallet, and more, are now fully integrated with TON Connect, as well as every ton.org service and many popular TON products.
▪️ Unified Connection
While other blockchain communities juggle multiple tech options, we've achieved a singular, cohesive method of connecting services and wallets — a breakthrough for users and developers.
▪️ Web 2.0 Adaptation
Are you using sites that still rely on the old username-password standard? Introducing the TON wallet's built-in password manager!
The team behind MyTonWallet browser extension announced a feature that auto-fills passwords on websites, generating secure passwords based on your TON wallet's private key.
▪️ Coming Soon
In the next update, dApps can send notifications directly to your TON wallet if you give explicit permission.

Historic Moment as BIT accepts Toncoin for trading fees
TON Foundation, in a strategic partnership with BIT Exchange, is making history today. For the first time ever, a cryptocurrency exchange is enabling users to pay trading fees with a token that isn't a stablecoin or a platform token. Instead, Toncoin, the native token of TON Blockchain will be the collateral of choice.
The utility of Toncoin doesn’t end there. BIT Exchange, known for its specialization in crypto derivatives trading, is expanding its crypto derivatives offerings to include futures trading for Toncoin, too. This development will further enrich BIT’s range of services, which includes portfolio and unified margin management, as well as options, perpetual futures, and spot trading.
That's just the beginning! BIT users will also enjoy a limited-time 10% discount on trading fees when using the newly live 'Deduct with TON' feature.
This significant milestone in the crypto industry is a testament to the robust strategic partnership between TON Foundation and BIT, a partnership that traces its roots back to January 2022 when BIT first listed TON.
As we journey to onboard the next 100 million users onto Web3, we are thrilled to introduce a feature that propels us closer to this goal and broadens the horizons of crypto trading.
For more details, read more here.
With every step we take, we're shaping the future of trading - and it starts with TON. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

🦙Introducing DAOLama — A Lending Protocol for NFTs
DAOLama is a decentralized service through which users can receive Toncoin collateralized by NFTs and rent NFTs from other users. The platform supports all popular collections on The Open Network (TON).
Why is this necessary, and how does it work?
Some NFTs can be valuable even when temporarily owned. For example, you can borrow an in-game NFT to access a special tournament, quest, or exclusive access to certain events.
The service works on smart contracts and guarantees the return of the pledged tokens at any time before the end of the loan period.
Notably, Tonkeeper has integrated DAOLama into its app, providing access to the lending protocol directly in their wallet.
