​Community initiative to optimize tokenomics.

The @tonblockchain channel has published a proposal to optimize tokenomics in the TON network.

We publish this proposal and encourage to join its discussion in the comments.

“A Community Proposal for Tokenomics Optimization

On December 17, in response to repeated requests for greater certainty, clarity and transparency over the tokenomics of the TON network, the community has called for all early miners to activate their inactive mining wallets by the end of 2022.

Out of the 204 inactive mining wallets identified by the community, 195 wallets holding 1,081,426,228 Toncoin remain inactive today. These mining wallets — the genesis wallets that have mined Toncoin directly from the Proof-of-Work smart-contracts — have never been activated and do not have a single outgoing transfer in their history.

Toncoin is a gas required to access decentralized services on the TON network. It has been widely speculated that access to these inactive wallets may have been lost. What is clear is that there is a community consensus: the existence of these unutilized Toncoin only increases the uncertainty for the network participants.

TON is a community-driven blockchain, and we believe that the network validators should listen to the voice of the community.

Therefore, we are suggesting a validator vote for the proposal of tokenomics optimization, one that enables these inactive mining wallets to remain inactive for a certain period of time.

In spite of many community members pushing for a permanent inactivation, we believe in preserving the very idea that keeps us as one community: decentralization. For this reason, we are suggesting this period to be 48 months. This will give the TON ecosystem enough time to flourish while providing flexibility to those who may not be aware of these discussions in the community.

Like any network proposals, this will require at least 75% of the validator votes in two consecutive validation rounds to take effect.

The owners of the inactive mining wallets can always opt out by activating their wallets anytime before the end of February 15, 2023. The full list of inactive mining wallets can be found here: https://tontech.io/stats/early-miners.

We are proud that TON is a uniquely decentralized blockchain community. Our mission of decentralization can be achieved as long as we have the active participation of the community, which we have today.

We strongly encourage the community to discuss and voice their opinions about this proposal.”

The dns.ton.org auction site has been updated.

The decentralized domain name auction section on the ton.org website, TON DNS, has received an update.

The user experience has significantly improved thanks to the following:

▪️ An added search history.
▪️ Improved interface.

Anyone can get a “.ton” domain name on the TON blockchain and assign it to an address on the network: a crypto wallet, smart contract, or website.

We’ve written in detail about the technology running TON DNS here.

​Pump-and-dump schemes as a means to manipulate the market — A message on how to spot them and avoid them

The TON DeFi segment of the ecosystem has been on a steady rise lately. Unfortunately, it’s also attracted some bad actors who want to swindle people for financial gains. Today, we want to talk about one common trading tactic used to manipulate crypto markets whereby unsuspecting investors may get burned.

The tactic is pump-and-dump (P&D) schemes, a method that artificially and rapidly inflates the price of an asset and crashes shortly thereafter.

How it works:

A group of people coordinates a massive buy of a cryptocurrency, which subsequently sends the asset’s price through the roof, with all of them selling simultaneously at the highest possible price.

The result is a painful crash in the asset’s price, leaving investors with deep losses and questions surrounding the true intentions of the project.

How to play it safe

The first thing to keep in mind always is that any investment in cryptocurrencies carries an inherent risk.

The next thing we recommend everyone do is to DYOR, “do your own research.” It’s best to set some time aside to dig into a project’s specifics.

▪️ Learning who is behind the project, their resources, how public they are, how transparent they are, how much experience they have, etc., would be a good place to start.
▪️ Another area to pay attention to is the liquidity of the project’s coin on DEXs — the lower the liquidity, the easier it is to manipulate it.

Any project can fall victim to this kind of nefarious trading activity — even those with a stellar reputation and a trustworthy dev team.

The only thing that needs to happen is putting in a sum of money big enough to move the markets upward.

Naturally, projects with low funding are the most vulnerable to P&D attacks because even relatively small injections of capital are enough to disrupt these markets.

Be careful of P&D schemes.

DeFi on TON has been expanding at an unprecedented rate, but market participants need to remember the risks when considering investing in projects.

We also recommend reading our guide to digital safety to learn about how to be responsible when investing.

Disclaimer:

This post is not reporting on a specific incident. The TON Foundation and TON Community do not conduct analyses of crypto projects and do not make official public reports.

Our task is to bring the issue of P&Ds to your attention because they may appear in the development process of TON DeFi.

🏦 First Native Staking

MyTonWallet becomes the first wallet to provide staking on the official smart contract.

Staking is wholly decentralized and managed by the official TON Nominator smart contract. Neither the developers nor anyone else has access to the funds on your deposit.

Reserved funds are used to keep the network operating using its proof-of-stake mechanism. Not only do the nominators receive passive income from holding TON, but also directly influence the overall growth and development of The Open Network by participating in voting.

TON holders with a balance of 10,000 or more can make their first deposits through the MyTonWallet interface. A new version of the official smart contract is expected soon, in which the lower deposit threshold will be significantly reduced.

We encourage new users to try MyTonWallet right now. In turn, we are getting back to labs to please you again with new exclusive features very soon.

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!

💀 A very favorable environment for scamming and spamming

⚫️ As soon as TON gained fame and became recognizable by a large group of Telegram users, scammers entered the ecosystem and started to profit at the newcomers’ expense. With tiny transaction fees, The Open Network became the hotbed for various fraudulent schemes aimed at stealing your crypto assets. It is the reverse side of blockchain’s advantages.

⚫️ You might have seen these spam transactions convincing you to enter the seed phrase on a bogus site. Akin to spam mail at off-chain services, users continue to suffer from constant transactions consisting of malicious links. Unfortunately, the developers of The Open Network cannot forbid such transactions due to the asynchronous nature of blockchain. The best method to protect yourself from spam transactions is to do your own research and under no circumstances enter your seed phrase, except when activating your non-custodial wallet.

⚫️ A bunch of popular wallet apps — e.g., Tonkeeper and Tonhub — started to hide small transfers of Toncoin. More likely, the number of such transactions will only grow, leading developers to build up a filtering system for incoming messages which will help separate the wheat from the chaff. Each day scammers come up with something new and unique: recently, users started to receive a spam jetton, i.e., a token on The Open Network, named “Account banned.” It is better to ignore these tokens and hide them if they disturb you.

⚫️ We wrote a detailed article a few week ago about how to avoid becoming easy prey for scammers. It will help you not fall into the hands of scammers.

​TON Grant Program: Fall 2022 review

In September, October, and November 2022, the TON grant committee approved a handful of projects to receive funding.

▪️ TONDaddy

TONDaddy is an analytics platform for ".ton" domain names. It is a project by TonX Studio, a developer of Web3 infrastructure on TON.

TONDaddy monitors TON DNS activity and helps users select alternative domain name options. For example, if you enter “user” in the search field, you’ll see open and closed auctions containing the word “user.”

The TON Foundation provided the grant for continued development of the (TON native) analytics service which will provide more useful insights to users in the future.

▪️ OpenMask

OpenMask is a browser-based TON crypto wallet, analogous to MetaMask. OpenMaks aims to set itself apart from the pack with its array of modern features.

It received a grant to expand wallet functionalities and build on the website documentation. Note that this (wallet) grant was specifically provided as this was a browser-based wallet project, which meets the community needs.

▪️ Rift (formerly dBuilder)

This is an instrument for Python developers providing a framework to create smart contracts on TON.

The service’s mission is to lower the entry barrier to TON development and make writing smart contracts more accessible.

▪️ Web3 Campus

A Web3 development education website.

Web3 Campus intends to create courses that educate various professions in Web3, including courses on the TON ecosystem. It aims to be the Web3 of Coursera, whereby freelancer Web3 content instructors can receive payments in crypto.

A grant was awarded to create more educational resources on the TON blockchain.

▪️ SmartSign

A service for creating electronic NFT signatures.

SmartSign develops unique use cases for TON NFT technology, such as minting blockchain signatures that can be used like regular signatures — i.e., to hand out autographs or sign documents.

SmartSign received a grant to advance its ideas and launch a full NFT signature service.

​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:
App Store | Google Play | APK | Desktop

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!
