The first TON-based NFTs are coming to the network.
We’re pleased to announce that an official TON-based NFT platform where users will be able to buy and sell nonfungible tokens is in the works.
The NFT marketplace is still in its early stages of development, so boasting about a rich catalog of products will have to be put on hold — but it will have its day. Although waiting for its launch is unbearable, we’re more than happy to shed some light on other quality projects in the interim.
One of these projects is TON Diamonds, a team of NFT pioneers on The Open Network that has created 10,000 unique, animated nonfungible tokens.
Currently, there are no TON Diamonds available for sale; however, once the TON-based NFT marketplace launches, users might have an opportunity to get their hands on those coveted NFT Diamonds — that’s if their owners choose to sell them.
Once the NFT marketplace launches, the TON Diamonds team will invest half of its sale commissions in the development of products and services in the TON ecosystem.
What’s more, TON Diamonds and the team at Tonkeeper have agreed on an integration that will let users store their NFTs directly in the app.
TON Diamonds will be publishing more information and updates about this new partnership in its official Telegram channel shortly: https://t.me/tondiamonds.

A statement from the TON Community welcoming Andrew Rogozov.
Andrew Rogozov, former CEO of VK.com, began his career at the company in 2007, working at Pavel Durov’s side. Recently, he’s been leading the product development of the social network.
During his tenure as CEO, Andrew developed an intimate understanding of how to work with developers and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
Under Durov, Andrew quickly absorbed and shared Durov’s product vision and developed a similar obsession with perfectionism. Now that he’s going to be busy overseeing TON’s suite of products, we’re excited to see him work his magic for us this time.
We believe that with the addition of Andrew, the TON platform will become a robust ecosystem, boasting infrastructure for a plethora of game-changing products.
The TON Community couldn’t be more pleased that Andrew Rogozov has joined the TON Foundation. Welcome aboard!

Bit.com AMA with Andrew Rogozov.
Andrew Rogozov, the newest member of the TON Foundation, answered questions in an AMA hosted by Bit.com.
Andrew spent most of the session fielding important yet interesting questions that have been on everyone’s mind lately.
Today, we want to share with you the best moments of the AMA; however, if you’re interested in reading the entire dialogue, you can find the transcript here.
Andrew on the future of Toncoin:
— We believe that Toncoin will be the first cryptocurrency that will have access to the services of a wide market through convenient interfaces, such as Telegram with its large user base.
— The TON network is focused on developing and bringing out the best of Web3, including services such as TON Storage, TON Sites, and TON DNS.
— In 2022, the TON network will take the form of a global Web3 network with a wide range of diverse products and services in which Toncoin will be integrated as the main means of payment for data storage.
...on how TON will penetrate larger markets:
— TON’s community is focused on providing solutions for the mass market in the form of easy-to-use products. We see blockchain as a technology used to meet the basic needs of people.
— We believe that we can capture a market share not only in the cryptocurrency market but also in other large markets, such as fund transfers, data storage, data access, intellectual rights preservation among others.
...on a potential integration with Telegram:
— We have many more integrations to launch in the first quarter, but we’re going to wait before revealing the details. All I can say is that our goal is to implement as many use cases as possible to reach the entire Telegram audience of over 600 million people.

Toncoin is changing its ticker.
We’d like to inform you that Toncoin will soon change its shortened ticker symbol on all crypto exchanges to “TON.”
However, its full name will stay the same — Toncoin.
The change will happen gradually, so please pay attention to Toncoin’s ticker when trading because it might have its old ticker on some exchanges while having its new ticker on other exchanges.
For Wrapped Toncoin on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, there will be no change (TONCOIN).
Meanwhile, there may be other cryptocurrencies that use the same ticker. So, to avoid confusion, go to https://ton.org/coin to find a list of exchanges that carry Toncoin and links to trading pairs.

Introducing one of TON’s core team members — EmelyanenkoK.
A Ph.D. graduate and winner of multiple Telegram contests, Kirill Emelyanenko (EmelyanenkoK) began to study blockchain technology in depth from its earliest stages, working with various types of decentralized networks.
Kirill met Anatoliy Makosov (tolya-yanot) at the TON Blockchain Contests, which was held by the Telegram team in 2019, where both finished in first place.
In tandem with Anatoliy, he took part in the development of the Orion Protocol, the well-known centralized and decentralized exchange aggregation protocol. While working on this project, they realized that they work well together and realized that the aggregation of exchanges and liquidity pools would lead to another inevitable revolution: the aggregation of blockchains.
As soon as they made this conclusion, they started devoting all of their time to TON’s development.

Presenting two new TON blockchain explorers.
Technical specialists should fancy this news because two new explorers have launched on The Open Network:
— Tonscan.org (from Russian TON)
— TON.page (from Give Me TON)
Among the available explorers, you can always continue using ones that are established:
— TON Whales Explorer
— TON.sh
A blockchain explorer is an application that allows users to view pertinent information and statistics of the network.
Regular users have little to no need for this kind of app, but for blockchain developers, it’s a must-have in their line of work.
You can find an updated list of all the available explorers in the “Explorers” section of the TON Apps suite.
