Liquidity pools on the PancakeSwap crypto exchange.
Today, we’re going to tell you about something useful you can do with your Toncoin: providing liquidity in pools for token pairs.
Users can now provide Toncoin liquidity in token pools and, as an incentive, receive commission from transaction fees, which are paid by other users for their transactions on a decentralized exchange.
We’ve put together a detailed guide in which we explain what liquidity pools are, why they’re needed, and how to use them, for example, on PancakeSwap:

Check out the TON Apps section on TON’s official website.
This new section is where you can find all the apps and services that are native to the TON blockchain, which includes crypto wallets and links to exchanges where you can get Toncoin.
It’s akin to the App Store or Google Play, but for TON’s blockchain.
Among the many apps are interesting and useful utilities, such as Tonometer, a Telegram bot that tracks the price of Toncoin, and TON Grafana, a web interface that provides technical data on the blockchain’s current state.
We recommend you add TON Apps to your “Favorites” in your web browser so you can stay up-to-date with the ever-expanding TON ecosystem

We pay lots of attention to simplicity of our apps and services.
You might have noticed that our wallets and other apps contain almost no technical information. What you see is animated stickers, not transaction hashes or block heights.
The only tech info you’ll find is your wallet address, which is no harder than card or phone number. But it will be dropped soon, too – once TON DNS goes live, everyone will be able to register a short username and use it instead.
People don’t need to get under the hood of the blockchain to start using it. Blockchain’s advantages such as privacy and security should be available to everyone.
We’re often asked if we’re planning a full-fledged TON blockchain explorer (a service that scans blocks and transactions). Development of such an explorer is not on our top priority list because we believe average user won’t need it.
Whenever you send transfer to a friend using your regular mobile banking, you don’t need to go to ‘banking explorer’ afterwards or launch Internet traffic scanner to make sure the money’s indeed been sent. We’ll release a full-fledged explorer, sure, but it’ll be used by devs for debugging – average users simply won’t need it.
Most of the existing interfaces were created during the era of blockchains of the past. You send coins and wait anywhere between 10 minutes and a couple of hours, usually not even sure if your transfer will be processed.
In TON, transactions are cheap and almost instant. A modern tech now gives us an opportunity to redefine and simplify people’s interaction with blockchain.

How does Toncoin enter circulation?
Today’s post will go over the TON mining structure.
The current iteration of The Open Network blockchain is the testnet2 that was launched by Telegram in 2019. Once the testnet was launched, 5 billion coins were released, which were later renamed Toncoin.
In 2020, Telegram separated itself from the project, and all coins were transferred to special “Giver” proof-of-work smart contracts.
Why was it structured this way?
Givers can be considered as a safe that releases coins to those who correctly solve the safe’s code.
In other words, Toncoin is not publicly available and is not immediately released for sale. The only way Toncoin can enter circulation before being bought on an exchange is by mining it first.
This way, the network remains decentralized.
Telegram could have burned all of its coins, but that would have spelled the end of testnet2. At that time, however, a group of dedicated developers had come together and wanted to continue working on the network.
As a result, Telegram provided network participants the opportunity to mine Toncoin via transparent proof-of-work mining.
Who solves this “code” and how?
Miners are the ones who solve these “codes.” The process goes like this: A user installs special software on their computer, and in the background, it attempts to solve mathematical problems broadcast by Givers.
The miner who solves the problem first receives 100 Toncoin, after which the Giver broadcasts a new mathematical problem, and the process starts anew.
You can read more on this process here.
Do Givers do anything else?
Givers are solely tasked with overseeing mining on the network, ensuring that it’s decentralized and available to all users.
How can I become a miner?
Follow the links for in-depth instructions on how to become a miner:
— GPU mining. How to mine with graphics cards?
— How to mine on Windows?
Mining Toncoin can even be done on regular personal computers.

Mine Toncoin with Hive OS
Hive OS is an operating system created specifically for miners. The platform simplifies crypto mining on a GPU, allowing users to manage all mining operations through a user-friendly web interface.
This app is one of the most popular and widely used instruments of its kind.
A Hive OS version was recently added as an official TON miner.
This addition is a significant update because it will attract prominent players who primarily mine ETH to The Open Network.
Onboarding professional miners will increase the cost of Toncoin mining, causing a shift in the market’s supply and demand.
You can find archived instructions on how to install Hive OS here:
https://github.com/tontechio/pow-miner-gpu-hiveos
Additionally, announcements for miners are published in this channel, while questions about Toncoin mining can be asked and discussed in this chat.

Interview with a co-founder of TonWhales.
We’d like to introduce you to the TonWhales team, which develops products for TON’s ecosystem.
The team has its own explorer, validator, and mining pool, which accounts for 75% of the network’s total hash rate.
With the help of the pool, owners of weaker PCs can still participate in Toncoin mining and receive a steady flow of rewards.
We’re happy to announce that the TonWhales team invests 25% of its pool’s commission fees in the TON community and spends time developing convenient non-commercial blockchain modules.
We’re delighted that the TonWhales team has joined and started working on TON.
We had an opportunity to sit down with Sergei, a co-founder of TonWhales, and talk about the blockchain, TON’s prospects, and services that are already available.
You can read the entire interview here:
https://telegra.ph/An-interview-with-a-TonWhales-co-founder-12-07
One last thing we’d like to mention: TonWhales has granted one TON developer access to its repository. At the time of the test, no dangers for users had been found.

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.
