Hey, everyone! We’ve got another dose of good news for you! The TON NFT community is one step closer to a fully fledged ecosystem!

The TON Diamonds team has prepared instruments to publish collections on the network: a ready script and a web page to deploy NFT collections. Outstanding work!

The guides are available in English and in Russian.

Now, people can use these tools to launch their NFT collections. If for whatever reason your attempts come up short, our release is right around the corner, so we’ll give you a chance to mint NFTs online, directly on the Getems marketplace.

If you’ve written your own smart contracts independently, we’d like to extend a kind reminder to make sure they adhere to the smart contract standard, especially regarding royalties and data prefixes. Contract references can be found here.

You can observe the creation of an NFT via Tonscan.

We’re already gearing up for waves of successful launches and ecstatic buyers!

We’ve got some great news we’d like to celebrate with you today: The @getgems channel has been officially verified!

It’ll be much easier for people to identify our channels now, and we hope there are no doubts about how serious our intentions are. The Getgems.io NFT marketplace is surely aiming for the right target — the stars.

Thank you so much for being with us, giving us feedback, sharing your opinions and ideas, and making suggestions! All of this is an invaluable investment from the community into the development of Getgems, and we value all of you for it!

@tonblockchain just called for new fund for TON support

Over the last few months, we’ve received suggestions from prospective partners and TON miners to create a larger reserve of Toncoin to secure resources for chasing new and exciting top-tier partnerships and integrations.

We understand that further development of the TON ecosystem will require significant funding, and it’s great to see that large holders are ready to back it up.

Considering the above, we are announcing a formation of a new Toncoin reserve that will be focused on supporting new product integrations, community growth campaigns, and partnerships with the world’s best companies in the blockchain sphere and beyond.

Due to the increasing demand for security and to represent the specialized nature of that new reserve, we’ve created an address with a multi-sig wallet smart contract:

It’s empty now, but we expect that community members who have offered their assistance will participate in forming that reserve and help the TON ecosystem grow and prosper.

We invite all TON enthusiasts and large holders to make donations to the new reserve and support the further growth of the ecosystem.

News for NFT creators

— Telegram channel Givemeton has unveiled its software-as-a-service Monster Bot that NFT creators can use to automate pre-sales, auctions, lotteries, and airdrops.

— NFT project TON Diamonds has developed a guide on deploying NFTs and an open-source script so you can list your NFTs on the mainnet.

The guide is available here:

Today, we’re excited to tell you about a significant event regarding the Getgems NFT marketplace: its launch on the TON testnet!

As we’ve shared with you before about our plans, launching Getgems on the testnet puts the marketplace on the cusp of a full launch on the mainnet.

The testnet version currently allows users to:
- Mint entire NFT collections
- Mint individual NFTs
- Transfer NFTs to other users.

To use the testnet version, you need to use the TON Wallet browser extension and remember to connect it to the testnet, for which we’ve got a guide here. You’ll need some Toncoin to mint your NFTs, so you can use a bot on Telegram to deposit some.

Next on our roadmap is establishing support for Tonkeeper and trading NFTs.

You can already test-drive the testnet version of the marketplace here.

💎First gem has been dropped

Good evening, everyone! The Getgems team has great news: Today, we launched a new feature that allows users to buy and sell NFTs on the testnet version of our Getgems.io marketplace. Yep, trading features are already live, and you can test them! Don’t forget that the marketplace on the testnet is only functional when you switch your TON Wallet to the testnet.

Besides the newest feature announcement, we continue developing the rest of the marketplace’s functionality, wrapping up all the work on the testnet and heading toward the moon on our rocketship — aka straight into the mainnet. Stay tuned!

Hi, everyone! Today, we’re going to spend some time answering any questions you have regarding the getgems.io marketplace. You can ask us on Twitter.

Congratz to TON Community and TON NFT Fam

🎉Congratz to via.exchange and TON PUNKs for implementing cross-chain payments for TON NFTs

We love innovations, that’s why for the last sale we made partnership with via.exchange. That’s mean tomorrow users will be able make multichain minting, in TON, ETH, BNB. That’s made for payment channel expansion and demand increase. Also we started a giveaway with VIA, you can check it out in our Twitter.

Also, we recommend to read our FAQ post, and be prepared cause it will be hot🔥

Our friends over at TON Punks, a trailblazing TON NFT collection, are having a final sale: 7,000 Punks for 149 TON apiece. The mint price used to be 49 TON, but the floor price has since jumped to 350 TON on secondary markets.

Just a reminder: They have serious plans to create their own play-to-earn metaverse based on Telegram bots. They’re also planning to launch NFT staking and a DAO.

P.s.: There is a limit of 99 NFTs per wallet!

A few days ago, the TON community made bridging available to transfer NFTs between blockchains.

Let’s figure out what that means in a language that doesn’t sound like Klingon.

Basically, bridge technology makes it possible to use NFTs issued on various blockchains — e.g., Solana or Ethereum — on TON, so you can have all of your NFTs in one place rather than on separate blockchains.

This means that our marketplace has a fascinating opportunity to become a cross-chain NFT marketplace. Imagine a place where you can buy or sell any of the following: Ethereum-native CryptoPunks, Solana’s NFTs from the Degenerate Ape Academy collection, or Smol Brain from Arbitrum.

And these NFTs can be used as collateral, fractionalized, or represent any other functionality artists and creators on TON choose.

We are fascinated by the future because it will allow us to integrate NFTs into the masses and make them available to everyone.
