​Toncoin options are live on cryptocurrency exchange BIT

Toncoin (TON) stands alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as the third cryptocurrency available for options trading on Bit.com. This is a huge step forward for both the TON Ecosystem and wider cryptocurrency market. Also in the pipeline is for TON to be available on Paradigm, the institutional liquidity network for derivatives traders, making our token even more accessible to customers. This product launch has been made possible in collaboration with Darley Technologies and DWF Labs.

What is 'options trading'?

Options trading is a type of financial contract that gives owners the opportunity, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a prearranged price before a certain time. Options are a great way for crypto investors to manage their exposure and speculate on the future price of an asset with relatively low-risk.

What happens next?

In short, this sets the stage for TON to become one of the most actively traded digital tokens in the crypto options market. This is another use case for TON that significantly increases its accessibility to both institutional and retail traders. This new product offering, in combination with TON's innovative technology, positions TON for further success.

​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.”

​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.

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.

​TON's 2023 roadmap

The TON Foundation has updated its roadmap for 2023 and published a statement on the matter.

You can read the foundation's message here:

“TON Roadmap 2023

The roadmap for this year has been put together and published.

Over the last year, an ecosystem of various TON products has been rapidly built, ranging from decentralized exchanges and multifunctional wallets to marketplaces and blockchain games. Components of The Open Network were also launched including: TON DNS, TON Payments, TON Proxy, TON Sites, and TON Storage.

The first half of this year will be dedicated to harmonizing, improving and optimizing all of our current development projects to make TON as useful and convenient as possible for users.

The roadmap includes many TON improvements specifically designed to meet the needs of TON developers, providing them with the tools and resources they previously lacked.

TON is the only modern blockchain finding new, sometimes unexpected, ways to attract users. In the second half of the year, we aim to surpass all of our previous efforts with the goal of bringing even more users to TON.

Because we always try to solve the most pressing problems, and events are dynamically changing, Q3 and Q4 are not completely filled-in and additions will be made as our work progresses.

In technical terms, TON already surpasses all other existing blockchains by a large margin.

In order to confirm this, we have planned a show to demonstrate the real performance of TON and its ability to scale under heavy load.

Further developments for TON Proxy, TON Payments and TON Storage are described on separate pages.”

💀 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.
