The Open Network (TON) is putting crypto in every pocket. By building the Web3 ecosystem within Telegram Messenger, TON is giving billions the opportunity to own their digital identity, data, and assets.

​​TON Sites, TON Proxy, and TON DNS are in the final stages of development.

Developers at the TON Foundation are already putting the final touches on working versions of the services mentioned above, and we can expect them to roll out in 2022.

With the help of these services, users will be able to use the decentralized “TON internet” in their browser. Watch this video to see how it works.

The developers will never abandon their core principles and will continue to create convenient and intuitive blockchain services for all types of users.

Traffic in the new decentralized TON internet will pass through The Open Network’s nodes, which have a new ADNL protocol.

Every once in a while, a minute amount of Toncoin will be transferred from the wallets of TON Proxy users as a reward given to the network’s nodes.

You might be asking yourselves: “Why not make the service free?”

Because thanks to these micropayments, the network will stay fully decentralized.

Now we’d like to tell you about a new VPN service.

The owner of such a service has to pay for the server, its maintenance, equipment, electricity, and labor, among others.

When this happens, commercial companies store data in a centralized manner: on their own servers.

This type of storage is not the safest method. For example, disgruntled employees might simply leak the private information of users, which happens rather often.

For TON Proxy, this risk is eliminated because the network’s nodes oversee its maintenance.

Anyone with the proper equipment can run a node and receive an income.

This way, the system will regulate itself and become self-sufficient while accomplishing the same economically.

TON fixes the technology’s weak points and creates solutions that will be considered ideal.

​​Backit.me will integrate cashback rewards in Toncoin.

Popular cashback platform Backit has added the option to receive rewards in the form of Toncoin.

The platform has 3.5 million active users and has over 400 partnerships with major online stores.

This is a significant step forward for TON.

Large online businesses integrating Toncoin into their ecosystems clearly demonstrates that the cryptocurrency’s value is much more than market speculation.

These companies understand the growing popularity of this asset and are more than willing to apply it in their business processes.

We’re excited to see Toncoin being integrated into the lives of ordinary users and believe that pretty soon, many more services will want a partnership with the TON project.

​​Valuable services for the TON ecosystem.

Today, we’re going to tell you about TON services that will simplify interacting with the blockchain.

TON.sh explorer

With the help of the explorer (block explorer), you can view all transaction data from any sender or recipient address on the blockchain.

@Tonometerbot Telegram bot

This bot shows you Toncoin’s current market value and tells you different ways to buy Toncoin.

Tonometer uses data from CoinMarketCap.

@TONNotifyBot

This service sends notifications in Telegram about every transaction from your (or any other) TON Wallet.

By connecting your wallet to the bot, you’ll be able to see all of your wallet’s activity in Telegram.

TON Grafana

Grafana is a convenient graphic interface that gathers relevant data about the blockchain’s status.

This service will most likely have little to no use for regular users; however, it may interest blockchain developers.

In the TON.app suite, you can always find TON-native blockchain apps, bots, wallets, and more.

​​Four rules to help you stay safe in the crypto space.

The breakneck growth of TON has left us speechless and continues to defy our expectations by attracting new users and accounts daily.

However, with the good often comes the bad.

Unfortunately, when a blockchain project becomes successful and starts to expand, bad actors come out of the woodwork and take advantage of inexperienced network users.

Therefore, we want to share a handful of rules to help you stay safe in the wild world of crypto and blockchain. Learn these rules and be careful out there.

Rule #1: Always double-check wallet addresses.

Never send Toncoin to strangers or unknown services and organizations.

You should always check addresses with an explorer:

1. Open an explorer (for example, TON.sh).
2. Enter the recipient’s wallet address in the search field.
3. Try to find signs that the address is correct or non-suspicious.

For example, if you send Toncoin to a service, it would make sense if said service’s wallet has a large amount of crypto because it would use its address often to transact in receiving payments.

Although it requires a little bit of research, this method will confirm the reliability and frequency of transactions for any service you’re investigating.

If the wallet of a “service” has only a few transactions credited to it, we can assume that this is most likely scammers.

Rule #2: Learn how to use crypto exchanges.

If you’re ready to buy or sell Toncoin on a crypto exchange, it would be prudent to read all of the instructions, guides, and any materials the exchange has to offer before you make a transaction.

It may be a lot of reading to do before making your first transaction, but it’s for the better. There have been innumerable instances when users forget to pay attention to specific details when buying or selling crypto, while the exchange’s tech support is virtually unable to help, even if it wants to.

If you’re unsure about something when making a transaction, try doing it with the lowest possible amount, for example, 1 Toncoin, to understand the process better.

Always read and follow the exchange’s guides to avoid unwanted (and sometimes irreversible) losses.

Rule #3: Use TON Apps.

Apps, services, and utilities from the TON Apps suite have been developed and are supported by teams that are in open communication with the developers of the TON Foundation.

The @tonblockchain team has audited all the apps in the TON Apps suite at least once.

This is by no means a safety guarantee (no one is protected from bugs, whether small or big), but it’s better than interacting with apps from teams with anonymous developers.

Rule #4: Never trust anonymous teams.

The TON Foundation team meticulously checks every app, service, or resource that launches in the TON ecosystem, and it’s prepared to support developers who actively communicate with the core team.

TonWhales and TON Coin Pool have been exemplary in this respect. Not only do they develop safe products they also regularly participate in the ecosystem’s development.

However, if a project preys on developers and inexperienced users, the TON Foundation will deny any form of support.

Thus, if you come across a new “interesting” project, you must first search for any mention of the project either in the TON Community channel or in the TON Apps suite.

If there are no mentions of the project in the resources mentioned above, heed caution because interacting with it may carry risks.

We recommend doing your own research before downloading or interacting with suspicious services in such a case.

Services that promise astronomically high returns should be taken with a grain of salt. Here’s a side rule: If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

Anything can happen: You could lose your crypto, your wallet could get hacked, your computer could become infected with viruses, and so on.

Follow these simple rules to keep yourself safe from bad actors and only trust official sources of information.
Donate bot is integrating support for the Toncoin cryptocurrency.

TON Community is proud to announce that the TON blockchain and Donate, a Telegram-verified payments service, have become official partners.

Soon, users will be able to make donations and pay for their subscriptions in Toncoin, and channel administrators, conversely, will be able to collect their income in the same cryptocurrency.

TON Community is going to publish more details on the partnership in our channel in the coming days.

TON is a blockchain that was created by brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov in 2017, but the two and Telegram have stepped away from the project. Since then, the TON Foundation has been actively supporting the network.

This is a translation of a post from the Subscriptions channel.
Forwarded from Du Rove's Channel
When Telegram said goodbye to TON last year, I expressed the hope that future generations of developers would one day carry on with our vision of a mass-market blockchain platform.

So I was inspired to see the champions of Telegram's coding contests continue developing the open TON project, which they rebranded to Toncoin.

I'm proud that the technology we created is alive and evolving. When it comes to scalability and speed, TON is still years ahead of everything else in the blockchain realm. It would have been a shame to see this project not benefitting humanity.

Unlike the original TON, Toncoin is independent from Telegram. But I wish its team the same success. Coupled with the right go-to-market strategy, they have all they need to build something epic 💪
We’re pleased to note that Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, recently posted in his channel in support of Toncoin.

For those who are unaware, Durov is a titan of tech, perhaps the single most influential leader of a technology company today. His unwavering dedication to privacy as a human right, and to excellent products, has made Telegram the most popular app of 2021, with over 500 million monthly active users.

Hundreds of millions around the world depend on Telegram as a safe and independent platform to communicate with loved ones and learn about the world around them, away from the eyes and dark pattern algorithms of big tech.

Pavel Durov and his brother, Nikolai, started to work on TON, a new type of decentralized permissionless blockchain that would meet the needs of Telegram, in 2018. And yet, due to circumstances beyond their control, they had to discontinue their work. In his post, Durov described the battle for decentralization as the “most important battle of our generation” and encouraged future generations to “fight the right battle,” the battle for “decentralization, balance and equality in the world.”

TON’s code was open-sourced. And dozens of talented engineers and enthusiasts took up Durov’s battle, continuing to work on TON and attempting to make the original design a reality. This community is our community: the TON community.

We’re thrilled that our hard work has been noticed and recognized by one of the most important people in independent technology today.

We are all part of this decentralization movement.
Toncoin’s market cap has been officially confirmed.

We’ve been patiently waiting, but the day has finally come. CoinMarketCap has officially confirmed Toncoin’s market capitalization and the amount in circulation.

According to CoinMarketCap’s calculations, the number of Toncoin tokens in circulation is 1.22 billion, and its market cap is over $4.6 billion at the time of writing.

Toncoin now sits in the 203rd place in CoinMarketCap’s crypto rankings, awaiting to enter the world's top 50 cryptocurrencies per market cap. We believe it is a matter of time.

Remember us asking readers to add Toncoin to “Favorites” on CoinMarketCap a while ago? Well, over 21,000 people follow Toncoin now. You can still help grow Toncoin’s recognition by adding it to your “Favorites” list.
​​TON and the Telegram Donate service have become official partners.

We’re excited to announce another partnership for the TON ecosystem — this time, with @donate, a Telegram-verified payments service built for Telegram.

With the help of Donate, channel owners can now have a stream of income without having to expose their readers and subscribers to paid ads.

The Donate bot helps content creators accept donations and create paid subscription channels.

What’s more, Donate has recently integrated Toncoin into its services, meaning Telegram users can make a donation or subscription payments in Toncoin.

This partnership is quite a breakthrough for the TON ecosystem.

Every month, thousands of content creators and hundreds of thousands of readers use the Donate bot.

With an ever-growing community, a sharp marketing squad and an experienced team of developers, the future looks bright for the @donate service.

We’ve been ecstatic about lots of TON news lately, but this partnership certainly has its merits. We’ve said it before, but we feel that this is the start of something special for Toncoin.

Season’s greetings and Merry Christmas.
​​TON’s ecosystem has a new mining pool — TON Coin Pool.

The pool has been live for less than two weeks, but in that time, its hash rate has managed to grow from 30 gigahashes per second to 4 terahashes per second of limited traffic, while the mining rewards increased from three to 30 solved algorithms in 24 hours.

The pool operates via an official miner and has amassed over 300 miners thus far.

The daily growth of the hash rate and the number of rewards have been increasing at a +100% pace.

The pool’s creators have optimized the OS, launched services for three popular mining OSs — Hive OS, RaveOS, and Minerstat mining OS — and continue to improve their servers, sites, and statistics.

The pool client’s source code is open-source.

As an aside, we’d like to mention that the pool’s creators reached out to the TON Foundation and have been working closely with the blockchain’s developers. Meanwhile, 25% of the pool’s income is invested in TON.

We’ll take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to the TON Coin Pool team in joining the TON family.

Today, we’re proud to introduce you to OTC Toncoin Market, a peer-to-peer platform in the TON ecosystem where users can trade Toncoin without the need for a crypto exchange.

How it works:

1. A user posts a swap of the crypto they want to trade.
2. A second user, who’s ready to buy Toncoin at the price set by the first user, contacts the service’s guarantor.
3. The guarantor provides transaction transparency and security. The two parties receive what they want, and the guarantor receives a small commission for their services.

Currently, Toncoin is available in the following trading pairs: BTC, ETH, USDT (ERC-20), USDC (ERC-20), and USDT (TRC-20).

Read this post to learn more about buying and selling Toncoin on OTC Toncoin Market.

​​A holiday-season gift for miners.

Starting on Jan. 1, 2022, mining pools TonWhales and TON Coin Pool, verified and certified by the TON Foundation, will not be collecting commission from miner rewards.

TON mining pool participants have spearheaded this generous holiday initiative, which became a reality thanks to the TON Foundation grant program.

The program will run until April 2022, and TON will cover miners’ commissions using its reserves of funds. If miners show interest in the program and prefer it to other pools, it may be extended.

Representatives from TON’s core community of developers will be observing and following whether the pools will complete their requirements honestly and whether they will provide users mining work without any fees.

The TON Foundation sees significant risks for users who connect their computing power to mining pools that have no partnership with or are unverified by the TON Foundation. Users who participate in these foreign mining pools do so at their own risk and without the protection of the community.

More specifically, concerns center around hidden commission fees, unexpected and unsanctioned seizure of income, or using a pool’s computing power for nefarious reasons toward other participants of the ecosystem.

For these reasons, the TON Foundation has decided to help honest market participants by removing the automatic commission taken and shifting everyone’s attention to increasing users’ income and developing the ecosystem.

Please note: Currently, only two resources have received financing for the program.

Maintaining a mining pool is an expensive process that hardly anyone would want to do when financial incentives are removed from the equation.

If you’ve come across a mining pool unlisted in our TON Apps suite that offers low commission fees or even zero fees, tread lightly: Participating in these pools carries high risks. Do your own research and be safe.
