The TON contest team will never let you get bored!
Large @toncontests are regularly held on various topics: sometimes you need to write the most optimized smart contracts on FunC; sometimes, you need to find bugs in ecosystem apps or show the best application for newly launched TON components.
Hack-TON-berfest is underway right now, yet you still have time to participate.
In addition, tomorrow at 09:00 UTC, there will be a very interesting new event:
We put 30,000 TON in smart contracts that intentionally have a vulnerability. The persons who hacks the smart contracts first will be able to steal TONs for keeps!

We are pleased to announce that the token bridge is in the final stages of testing.
Using this bridge, users can transfer any ERC-20 or BEP-20 tokens (for example, USDC or USDT) originally created on Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain to the TON Blockchain, with the ability to return them back.
The transferred tokens will be represented on TON as regular Jettons so that TON services, such as DEXs, will be able to work with them without any additional modifications.
You can get acquainted with smart contracts and testnet version:

Telegram Usernames and TON DNS
Given that Telegram usernames comply with TON DNS standard, we consider it a great idea to add the "t.me" domain zone to the TON DNS root smart contract.
Almost all TON wallets and apps allow you to enter a ".ton" domain instead of a wallet address.
After updating the root TON DNS, it will be possible to enter a Telegram username into TON apps in the same way as ".ton" domains. In other words, you will be able to send Toncoins to "any.t.me" address. The TON apps themselves will not require modifications.
Since the blockchain configuration can only be changed by validator voting, we’re scheduling a network vote for this proposal on Oct. 31 at 12:00 UTC. Validators, please be ready to send your vote at this time. Detailed instructions will be posted later.

TON Foundation x CertiK
CertiK is a well-known and highly sought-after company in the blockchain industry that is professionally engaged in searching for vulnerabilities and checking smart contracts, services, and blockchains for security.
This spring, the TON Foundation team began massive work with CertiK to check the TON blockchain’s core code and the main system services and smart contracts.
The first public results are now available on the company’s website. The “Audits” section has also appeared on the Toncoin page on CoinMarketCap.
At the moment, audit reports covering the TON core (catchain), TON system smart contracts, and smart contracts of vesting wallets have been published.
The audit has confirmed how bulletproof TON is, and non-critical bugs were discovered and promptly fixed by the TON Foundation team.
In the future, the remaining parts of the audit will be published.
In the course of their work, specialists from CertiK studied the TON blockchain and the FunC smart contract programming language, which means that now other projects and products based on TON will be able to order audits from CertiK.
This is excellent news for the ecosystem, TON projects, and the industry.
Interaction with such professional auditing companies is an essential addition to our open Security Bug Bounty Program.

The blockchain industry was built on the promise of decentralization, but ended up being concentrated in the hands of a few who began to abuse their power. As a result, a lot of people lost their money when FTX, one of the largest exchanges, went bankrupt.
The solution is clear: blockchain-based projects should go back to their roots – decentralization. Cryptocurrency users should switch to trustless transactions and self-hosted wallets that don't rely on any single third party.
We, developers, should steer the blockchain industry away from centralization by building fast and easy-to-use decentralized applications for the masses. Such projects are finally feasible today.
It took only 5 weeks and 5 people including myself to put together Fragment – a fully decentralized auction platform. We were able to do this because Fragment is based on The Open Network, or TON – a blockchain platform that is fast and efficient enough to host popular applications (unlike Ethereum, which unfortunately remains outdated and expensive even after its recent tweaks).
Fragment has been an amazing success, with 50 million USD worth of usernames sold there in less than a month. This week, Fragment will expand beyond usernames.
Telegram's next step is to build a set of decentralized tools, including non-custodial wallets and decentralized exchanges for millions of people to securely trade and store cryptocurrencies. This way we can fix the wrongs caused by the excessive centralization, which let down hundreds of thousands of cryptocurrency users.
The time when the inefficiencies of legacy platforms justified centralization should be long gone. With technologies like TON reaching their potential, the blockchain industry should be finally able to deliver on its core mission – giving the power back to the people.

An important community request to TON miners who have never used their coins
The level of interest in TON from the open-source community has grown exponentially over the year.
One of the main challenges of 2022 was reaching a community consensus on what the circulating supply is. Today, different data aggregators show different statistics. They often use a definition that simply does not capture the uniqueness of the TON’s history.
Therefore, we are proposing to launch a community-wide effort to determine what the community should consider dormant, inactive or uncirculating supply going forward.
Currently, the total number of inactive mining addresses with a balance of over 1 TON is 204. The total balance of these addresses is about 1.08 Billion TON. The full list of these addresses, which is public and on-chain, is made available by the independent data aggregator TonTech.
We kindly ask all owners of these inactive mining wallets — the genesis wallets that received Toncoin directly from Givers without the history of a single outgoing transaction — to activate and make an outgoing transfer to any address on the TON network by 00:00 UTC on January 1, 2023.
Through this community exercise, we hope to achieve greater clarity and certainty on the tokenomics of the TON network. The community has the right to know. This will remove the obstacles and hindrances faced by some contributors. We kindly ask all miners to take part in this initiative.
The data will be useful for providing a more accurate data to service providers, such as CoinMarketCap. It will remove discrepancies between different statistics.
We strongly encourage all members of the TON community to spread information about this initiative in order to reach as many participants as possible.

The core team has finished reviewing and testing the smart contracts of the Token Bridge.
We have devoted considerable time to this because the bridge will operate with a large number of tokens, and blockchain bridges currently are the main target of hackers.
Finally, we invite you to participate in a public contest to find vulnerabilities in the bridge’s smart contracts with a prize pool of $50,000.
