Today, the status of TON’s NFT standard got upgraded to “Release Candidate.”

This is great news because it means that hundreds of talented and motivated creators are one step closer to bringing their NFT collections and projects to life — on our marketplace.

Hi, everyone! We’re delighted to publish our inaugural feature post about a collection that will soon launch on Getgems.io.

Everyone on Crypto Twitter and NFT Telegram channels knows the top NFT projects, but supporting lesser-known creators is essential. Today, we’d like to introduce you to a collection that has fun wordplay: Hello TON NFT.

Project: Hello TON NFT

Where did the idea for your project come from?

The idea for the project was very simple. My girlfriend draws female anime characters and, one day, made TON Foundation art of a duck eating popcorn in a movie theater, but in her own style. She had fun with it, and now she’s drawing a whole collection.

What makes your collection unique and original?

Our collection differs from others in that each NFT is literally hand-painted, which adds another layer of uniqueness. Also, we’re not asking for a lot of money because so far, we have not come up with bonuses for the owners besides the visual esthetics, but I will definitely be able to create utility for the collection.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

Our team consists of two people: my girlfriend and me. She draws and comes up with ideas; I help design everything else and sometimes help with ideas. It makes her happy that it’s just the two of us because she dislikes it when outsiders interfere with her work process.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

The collection will still be valued in a year because it’s the work of an artist, who will continue to evolve with their art.

At the moment, we don’t have any utility for our NFTs, and they offer no privileges other than the ability to use the art for its non-commercial purposes.

We plan to develop and improve our project in the long term. In a year, we’ll be able to reinvest all of the money into the project and develop it to significantly better results — from scratch.

I’ve only heard of CryptoPunks. It’s an interesting collection, but I don’t particularly like it. Although, the point of some of them is very cool.

How are NFTs structured on The Open Network?

The CAT Telegram channel has published thorough material on the structure of NFTs and how they operate.

Hi, everyone! We’ve got a special feature collection for you today. (Hint: It’s a true TON OG.)

Today’s Featured Collection: TON Diamonds

Where did the idea for your project come from?

Our team started developing projects for The Open Network when Toncoin wasn’t available for trading on any exchange, and its price was close to nothing. Observing the growing interest in TON, we decided to make headway with NFTs. The project was launched out of curiosity long before smart contracts for TON were finalized, and we were pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

What makes your collection unique and original?

Diamonds is the first NFT collection for TON, and it is a glorious page in The Open Network’s history. Besides the already-common options of buying and selling, Diamonds will open up many new opportunities for their holders. For example, we are planning to incorporate the NFTs from our collection into Tonkeeper, a top-notch crypto wallet for Toncoin. At the same time, we are negotiating with other teams to integrate TON Diamonds into other services on the Network. This way, Diamonds holders will have additional privileges when using products based on the TON blockchain. Think of it as a priority pass in the TON ecosystem — that’s how we see the future of TON Diamonds.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

Our team is united by the mission to be NFT pioneers on The Open Network blockchain while creating first-rate TON-based products and supporting the community. In fact, 50% of the profits made from the sales of TON Diamonds is invested in the development of new services and aiding the existing projects on The Open Network. The TON Diamonds team includes ex-employees of VK, the technical lead of a California startup, blockchain developers, and a multilingual copywriter.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

TON Diamonds will offer additional privileges to their holders inside The Open Network products. That is why our NFT collection will remain desirable, and what’s more important: It will benefit the users. Welcome to the exclusive society of Diamond holders.

Hi, everyone! We have a new post for the #collection_promo series, and our guest today is Soul Stones NFT!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

The idea came from the concept of the soul and its nine states: love, hate, sin, hope, honor, fear, pride, happiness, and emptiness. These states are sealed in soul stones and made of different essences in our collection.

What makes your collection unique and original?

Each stone contains the state of the soul and is created using unique essences. For example, the soul stone of the Love state can be made out of black matter or Earth essences. Both stones are stunning.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

We are a team of four professional developers in video game development.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

I believe we’ve created a unique concept that contains an original idea, history, different levels of the rarity of the stones, and, in general, the project “Soul Stones” touches on deep philosophical values about humans and much more.

Good news, everyone! We’ve reached an important milestone today — you’ve sent us 100 collections in 15 days since our launch. The Getgems team is profoundly grateful to all of you, and we hope that this achievement will continue to inspire you. Thank you!

Hi, everyone! We’ve got another cool collection to feature in our #collection_promo program. Today, we’re going to tell you about some peculiar hounds, whose creator was inspired by historical events and styles. Meet Digital Resistance Boys!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

The idea behind our project is based on the “digital resistance” movement that was launched a few years ago by Pavel Durov. We’re striving to create a proper decentralized internet.

What makes your collection unique and original?

We provide true advantages to all of those who take part in the digital resistance by regularly promoting our holders and through our services.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

Our team comprises six elite specialists who are knowledgeable and experienced at what they do. Every member of the team has a deep understanding of cryptocurrency, NFTs, and The Open Network.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

Our collection will always be relevant. First of all, we’ll be constantly supporting interest in the collection and promoting holders (we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve, but we’ll talk about those later). Second, the topic of internet freedom will be front and center for a long time to come.

It’s a new day to make a post from our #collection_promo daily digest where we share new and exciting collections dropping on the Getgems.io NFT marketplace. Today’s featured collection sticks with the domestic animal theme, bringing you felines that have transformed into NFT art: TON CAT!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

The idea for this project hit us immediately after the TON Diamonds announcement on official channels. They were the first NFTs on TON. So, we wanted to be the first cats and also be part of the original NFT pioneers on The Open Network. When TON Diamonds announced its presale, we immediately started working on our collection.

What makes your collection unique and original?

What sets our collection apart is that it was completely drawn in Paint. Also, much like real live cats, ours have their own unique lives, which serve as an indicator of the value of each cat. Each cat is drawn in a different color and is in a different but interesting place.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

You can check out our team on our website. We’re a team of three people: “MM,” a designer; “ES,” who does our PR and other activities; and “DM,” the project manager. And most importantly, of course, we cannot forget you — our beloved community.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

The origins of our TON CAT collection are a bit similar to Dogecoin’s: It rose up among fans and became its own entity. We already have a loyal fan base that loves our cats and supports our project. We’re confident that together, we can go far. We’ve already received support from prominent players, such as Steve Yun. In any case, we’ve been preparing lots of activities and community engagement and we’re ready to collaborate with other projects.

Happy Friday, everyone! As always, we’re highlighting another collection set to drop on the Getgems.io NFT marketplace via our #collection_promo. Today’s feature takes a look at pixelated dogs. Meet TON Crypto Snoops!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

The idea came to us while we were looking into and learning more about the NFT phenomenon. We went over tons of collections on OpenSea and paid close attention to how these projects created interest within their communities. One project that stood out was CryptoPunks, and it profoundly influenced us to launch our own project, Crypto Snoops.

What makes your collection unique and original?

Our collection has a really interesting story, actually. We had initially planned the collection to be giraffes, not dogs. We experimented with drawing contours and the base for the NFTs, and after seeing one of the prototypes, we said to ourselves, “Well, this for sure isn’t a giraffe. For some reason, it looks like Snoop Dogg.” As soon as we pronounced those words, we knew we had found the perfect contour for a dog NFT and added a nose and ears — leaving the rest as it was. In short, if you were to picture our dogs in yellow that have no nose or ears, they’d look like really weird giraffes 🙂

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

The team consists of two girls: me and my younger sister, who draws around 95% of the dogs. I run the Telegram channel, the advertising, and anything else. So, as it stands, our small team is on the verge of realizing its dream of releasing an NFT collection 🙂

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

Our collection is much more realistic from the point of view of minting and selling on the secondary market. We have 4,000 that will 100% find buyers. The collection is not that big. Plus, its biggest advantage is that it has built-in rare qualities, which, in time, will become of considerable interest to NFT collectors, who will migrate to TON from other blockchains. Currently, our highest priority is to make our NFTs more recognizable in the community and, at the same time, make them synonymous with the TON blockchain to attract buyers from other networks.

Hi, everyone! Part of our mission at Getgems is to engage closely with the TON NFT community. Therefore, we’re committed to telling you about up-and-coming NFT collections on a daily basis. We’ve been doing our best to keep up with all the #collection_promo submissions, but it’s time to introduce you to today’s featured TON NFT collection, which has already found a home on the Getgems.io marketplace. Meet Lemur TON!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

The inspiration behind our collection came to us, while we were learning and studying the NFT market. The image of a monkey is synonymous with Ethereum. So, we thought, “Why can’t the lemur become the TON equivalent?”

What makes your collection unique and original?

NFT holders will be able to store their assets not only in the form of an art piece, but they’ll also receive an exclusive personalized sticker package! You can check some of them out on our Telegram channel.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

Our small but deeply creative team comprises:
📍2 artists
📍1 bot developer
📍1 manager
📍1 communications assistant

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

We’ve decided to keep our cards close to our chest for the time being.

For us, the weekend is no excuse for skipping our #collection_promo post. Today, we decided to make a symbolic gesture by telling you about a… symbolic collection. Well, you’ll see! Say hello to TON Symbol!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

After the success of our first NFT project, TON Collection, we decided to create a second collection as an alternative to collectible tokens. The concept for this new project was analogous to our first one: It needed to symbolize something and be simple. We all remember the events connected with Pavel Durov where he fiercely defended everyone’s right to internet freedom, effectively thrusting him at the helm of the “digital resistance,” if you will. Wouldn’t it be so cool if we got the chance to symbolize these kinds of events in our avatars? Yes, we’re aware that there are lots of avatars and pictures of Durov’s famous dog wearing a hoodie, but you’ve never seen such a depiction in 3D. This is where the idea came to us to create a collection of NFT GIFs. So, yes, this collection is primarily dedicated to Pavel Durov. We wholeheartedly share his visions!

What makes your collection unique and original?

The main thing that makes our collection unique is the presentation; we made a pool of 3D symbols that we transformed into GIFs. It would be amazing if we could integrate them directly into Telegram!

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

There are three of us. I’m the head developer on the technical side of things, from creating the NFT to handling the project’s web infrastructure. The other members promote the project and manage our Telegram channel.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

The attempts of Russia’s government to block Telegram struck a chord with people, reinforcing the digital resistance’s mantra that no one has the right to censor freedom of speech. The collection’s value will surely rise because so many people share Pavel Durov’s visions.

We often receive questions about our plans for the future and the launch date of the Getgems marketplace. So, we’ve decided to give you a little treat by sharing with you what’s going on at Getgems.io.

TON NFTs are a new technology, so we want to go the extra mile to ensure we launch a high-quality product for all of you. The road to any end goal, however, is never straight. We’ll have obstacles before us to overcome, but we’re ready to do whatever it takes to make the user experience on the TON blockchain as user-friendly and streamlined as possible.

Currently, we’re hard at work, testing TON NFT smart contracts and working on integrating TON Wallet and Tonkeeper to have a smooth authorization process. In short, we’re concentrating our energy on solving these technical tasks. Meanwhile, we understand the importance of connecting with the community; therefore, we’ll tell you about our team, what projects we’re working on, and when we plan to launch new features.

And now, it’s time for a juicy announcement! By next week, we will have launched a version of our marketplace on the TON testnet. This means we’ll be able to try out some of the features: viewing collections, selling NFTs, and, of course, minting NFTs.

Next Thursday, March 24, at 3pm in London, @toniccx be hosting a Zoom conference on emerging NFT Marketplaces on TON.

I'll be joined by reps from Getgems, Disintar and TonUniverse, where they will present their marketplaces and answer questions that you have.

Please submit questions in advance to @tonicadmin on Telegram.

Every day, we inch closer toward fully launching our Getgems NFT marketplace. Today, however, we added a few important features, without which any marketplace would be lacking: viewing entire collections on the blockchain, and viewing individual NFTs, their attributes, and their metadata. This entails one of the final steps before reaching our goal. The next step will be launching the marketplace on the testnet, as we’ve mentioned recently.

You can test out these new functionalities with these two collections below:

For today’s #collection_promo feature, we’re going to tell you about an unusual collection that’s decided to call the Getgems marketplace home. (We appreciate the team’s choice of marketplace!) Meet G-Bots!

Where did the idea for your project come from?

Our art director, Arseniy, has been following the NFT market for a long time and has worked on robots for half a year. But our team decided to try transferring our knowledge and experience to the TON ecosystem.

What makes your collection unique and original?

We’re the first 3D collection on TON. Three-dimensional objects create more opportunities for further development. Perhaps, this could lead to a transition to the gaming sector or creating cool avatars for people wanting to enter the metaverse, whose value would only increase.

Can you tell us a little bit about your team?

We have a team that’s strong and quite large. It’s made up of professionals in their respective fields. We’re goal-oriented people, all of whom have multiple finished projects in their portfolios. It’s safe to say that with so many years of paying attention to details under our belts, it’s now part of our DNA. These habits are undoubtedly positively represented in our G-Bots work.

Why will your collection still be valuable a year from now?

There’s a strong possibility that we’re one of the first to create a marketplace that will support a large number of instruments. Those who own our NFTs will have access to perks, such as zero commission fees.

We’re already seeing massive demand for whitelists, which we’ve won before in various competitions and that give permission to create a bot at a discount and without waiting in line. Therefore, we’ve made a marketplace guarantee where anyone can buy and sell their WL. This will allow people who participate in the project to sell their place easily or pass it to someone more interested in the project for free.

Today, we’re going to answer the community’s call and open the curtain of mystery that has been shrouding Getgems. We’ll tell you about all the questions we’ve received personally, in the bot, and in DMs and how some of you out there have been gossiping about minting and selling NFTs. Well, we’re going to settle this right now: All of this is planned for the first half of April on the mainnet.

When Getgems launches, people will be able to create collections, and mint, buy, and sell individual NFTs. Afterward, we’ll be looking to improve the marketplace by releasing updates based on the needs of our main audience — the TON and Getgems communities and NFT enthusiasts. Thus, we’ll be prioritizing the launch of auctions, creating a presale system, and more.

Our plan for April is to tie up some loose ends so that we can have a fully operational NFT marketplace, after which the Getgems rocket will be on course for the moon!

In this post, we’ll tell you a little about the plans we have for our communities. We often get this question: Will there be a Getgems token and a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)?

Our answer: Yes, we’ve already planned the release of our own token, and we’re in the middle of organizing a DAO. One of our goals is to turn the Getgems marketplace into a public arena where we collectively make decisions on the future of NFTs on TON. If you’re curious about how our token distribution will go down, sit tight and subscribe to our channel for the latest updates! We’ll be announcing all the details soon.

Of course, we’ve decided to leave the best and most interesting post for last. Today, we’ll tell you about us — the Getgems team — where we’re from and going.

At the moment, the Getgems team comprises eight people. Unofficially, we’re called “Happy Santa,” but there might be someone out there who knows us. We’ve been doing many different things for a long time, from working on boring e-commerce platforms for hundreds of thousands of users to viral projects with over 1 million gamers.

We believe in the technology and the TON community the same way you do. Therefore, the decision to enter the world of blockchain, Web3, and NFTs was easy. Join us — it’ll be a blast!
