​An official TON token generator

Last week, the TON ecosystem opened its arms to TON Minter, a service developed by the Orbs team that allows users to mint and deploy Jettons on TON. You might have already heard about it since it used to be called Jetton Deployer.

The token generator has been busy lately, undergoing a rebranding, being added to the TON Foundation’s smart contracts, and being added to the ton.org website.

As a result, TON Minter has become an official service for creating altcoins on the TON network.

Minting and launching a Jetton is a streamlined process. Users only need to complete a few quick steps:

1. Navigate to the TON Minter website and connect your TON-based wallet.
2. Set your Jetton’s base parameters: name, ticker symbol, maximum supply, and a logo.
3. Click “Deploy” and pay the network fee.

The newly minted Jettons will be sent to the creator’s address.

Elsewhere in the TON ecosystem is TonHub’s token generator, which also provides a user-friendly experience for creating Jettons.

Providing liquidity on TON DEXs

A few days ago, two decentralized exchanges (DEXs) launched in the TON ecosystem: DeDust DEX and STON.fi.

Users can now become liquidity providers, or LPs, for trading pairs on these exchanges and earn TON from transaction fees as a reward.

Each DEX has published a guide on participating in its liquidity pools:

▪️ LP guide for DeDust.
▪️ LP guide for STON.fi.

If you want to learn what liquidity pools are and why they’re essential, we recommend reading this post.

Please note:

The TON Foundation and TON Community official Telegram channels have nothing to do with the platforms mentioned above. If you invest in crypto products, you thereby incur the risks.

​SafePal’s hardware wallet will have added support for Toncoin by the end of 2022.

The popular SafePal S1 hardware wallet will be the first cold-storage device to support the TON network and provide offline Toncoin storage.

SafePal is also currently actively developing open-source code as part of a TON Foundation grant program.

SafePal was introduced at the Binance Launchpad in February 2021 and became the first hardware wallet supported by the Binance cryptocurrency exchange.

Today, the SafePal ecosystem consists of three main services: the software wallet SafePal App, extensions for popular browsers, and a cold-storage device SafePal S1.

The wallet supports 15 languages and over 54 popular blockchains and is trusted by over 6 million users from 196 countries.

The largest cryptocurrency projects in the world, such as Binance Labs, 1inch, PancakeSwap, Uniswap, Nervos, and others are partners of the service.

TON and SafePal S1 will have been integrated by the end of 2022.

​​Tonhub extensions

TON-based developers received a huge boost thanks to Tonhub allowing all projects in the TON ecosystem to integrate with its wallet.

To create an extension, you need to use a dedicated library prepared by the Ton Whales team for the most seamless integration of products.

Users will be able to use TON-based products directly within the wallet by clicking on a link and confirming the download.

Tonhub plans on integrating the majority of popular products from the TON ecosystem.

For instance, NFT marketplace Getgems has recently completed the development for its web extension, allowing users to buy, sell, and transfer NFTs on the platform from within Tonhub.

​CertiK’s audit of The Open Network

In the spring of this year, the TON Foundation embarked on an ambitious endeavor with CertiK, a highly sought-after auditing platform in the crypto industry that conducts vulnerability searches and smart contract code analyses.

A few days ago, the audit’s initial report of TON’s core (catchain), system smart contracts, and smart contracts of vesting wallets was released.

The audit confirmed TON’s bulletproof nature but uncovered some non-critical flaws, which were promptly addressed and fixed.

Part of CertiK’s audit was to learn and research a brand-new blockchain and unique programming language in FunC. Now, any project based on TON can get an audit from the platform.

Moreover, CoinMarketCap added the “Audits” tab to Toncoin’s page, where users can go to CertiK’s audit and read the report’s findings.

We’ll sign off today by reminding everyone about the Bug Bounty program, which offers up to $100,000 for found vulnerabilities on the TON blockchain.

✔️ Tonscan receives another update

⚫️ You could have noticed that tonscan.org has a special place in our channel. And it is not accidental: the blockchain explorer has an easy-to-use interface, without excess information, and works quite fast. With a recent update, tonscan.org has become even more convenient: now, users can see whether the TON address has any jettons or not.

⚫️ In addition, the explorer recently started displaying wallet names while searching. It means you do not need to know the address of the NFT collection or some wallet to find it. Just enter its name in the search box on the site. We are glad to see that one of the most user-friendly explorers on The Open Network keeps updating quite often.

⚫️ If you want to make your user experience even better, we recommend downloading our Chrome extension. Enjoy using your local address book as well as expanding the TON database on GitHub. Tonscanplus is available there.

💡⠀TON Bridge: How does it work and how do the commissions calculate?

We are excited to introduce a new category to our channel: guest posts. Developers and project creators are welcome to contact us to discuss the peculiarities of The Open Network blockchain, and we will happily mention them. Our first guest: @oxlti, protocol architect QubeDAO Network, who is ready to tell you more about TON Bridge. Here we go!

⚫️ “TON Bridge is a Toncoin bridge that connects the Ethereum and Binance Chain networks (both are EVM blockchains, so the code is almost the same). Toncoin on ETH and BNB is secured by Toncoin on the TON blockchain. To withdraw from the ETH/BNB blockchains in The Open Network, you need to burn the Wrapped Toncoin.

⚫️ The bridge itself is a miniature of a Proof-of-Stake network (don't confuse it with a blockchain): there are oracles that facilitate the bridge's operation. Therefore, the TON Bridge is a multi-node bridge, which means that it is operated by more than one node. This makes it more secure since, unlike many other bridges with a single node, you will need to get control over 2/3 of all nodes to hack the TON Bridge. As a result, single-node bridges are much easier to hack, whereas each transaction using the TON bridge must be confirmed by a vote of 2/3 of the Oracle stake.

⚫️ To become an oracle of the bridge (possible for anyone), you need to do almost the same thing validators do: you must have an oracle stake (a deposit of a certain amount of Toncoin), and then specify two public keys for the TON and Ethereum sides.

Each change in configuration (the number of oracles and their stake) is verified by validators.

⚫️ Oracles must pay since there is no independent inflationary mechanism (like validators) in their activity and it is important to incentivise them to work. For this reason, the commission in the bridge was increased to 5 Toncoin, which is distributed as follows: 3 Toncoin goes to all oracles as payment for their work, and 2 Toncoin goes to pay for transaction gas.”

🖊 Recently, the developers of QubeDAO Network succeeded in launching the first oracle on TON (as mentioned earlier). We wish the project the best of luck in its promotion!

​Web 3.0 is The Next Big Thing In The Chinese Developer Community

TON Foundation's very first meetup with Chinese developers attracted over 3,200 attendants from both Web 2 and Web 3 communities. Specifically, developers and product managers from Big Tech companies in mainland China were in attendance and had many questions about the TON ecosystem.

Collectible public usernames on Telegram

Telegram released an update in which the option to assign multiple collectible public usernames to chats and accounts has become available.

Collectible public usernames are almost the same as regular Telegram usernames — they appear in search results and can be used outside of Telegram as t.me/username and username.t.me links.

However, unlike standard usernames, collectible usernames can comprise fewer than five characters, meaning accounts can get short names, such as @news or @game.

People can obtain collectible usernames on the Fragment platform.

Meanwhile, the ownership of collectible public usernames is secured by the lightning-fast and scalable TON blockchain.

When reading Telegram’s mention of The Open Network in its update, we get the rewarding feeling that the stars are finally starting to align for us and the ecosystem.

We’re happy to announce that the CoinGecko crypto resource platform has updated Toincoin’s ranking. Now, it is sitting comfortably in 32nd place per its market capitalization, which is worth $2.4 billion and whose daily trading volume is just north of $10.5 million.

We’re relieved that the TON blockchain’s native cryptocurrency has finally earned its deserved spot among the ranks of the world’s most famous tokens now on the two most important crypto analytics services.
