🏆 Frontend Contest: Frontend of DEX with liquidity pools, Stage 1.
Prize fund: 30 000 TON.
Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 30 (UTC).
Task:
Create a frontend of DEX with liquidity pools for TON Blockchain.
In this stage, you need to create a working UI. Asynchronous calls to smart contracts must be mocked-up.
We require a UI for exchanging one token for another token, a UI for creating a pool with two tokens, a UI for adding and removing liquidity from a pool, a UI with a list of pools and pool statistics.
You can explore services like Uniswap and Pancake.
You must use the Typescript+React+Redux stack.
Extra dependencies and extra code are not welcome.
You can't use the idea of just copying the entire open-source Uniswap code - there is a lot of unnecessary code there.
When considering the design options, you can focus on the ton.org site, UI of standard wallets and bridge. You may find the brand assets page helpful.
We deliberately did not give ready-made references so that you have the opportunity to rethink some things in using such services.
Evaluation priorities: understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support, general correctness and speed of the application and attention to detail.
Who can take part: Anyone.
How do I submit:
Please comment on this issue on GitHub by attaching an archive or link to the open-source code with a solution, a description of the functionality, a description of the build process, your TON address to receive an award. Submission must be under the MIT license.
To avoid plagiarism, you can attach a link to a private repo to the submission, which you will make public after the deadline.

🏆Frontend contest: TON status page
Prize fund: $30’000 in Toncoins (currently 10’000 TON).
Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 17 (UTC).
Task:
Create a web app and corresponding open-source backend, which display summarized data on the state and availability of TON Blockchain.
In particular, the page should display:
- Performance and block rate of TON chains: masterchain and basechain (note that there may be more than one shard on basechain)
- Performance and responsiveness of primary TON services: ton.org, ton.sh, toncenter.com
- TON/ETH and TON/BSC bridge operability status
- Status of main on-chain governance activity: validator elections, config votings, slashing.
- Public liteservers performance: response time and sync state
- Public DHT-servers performance
- Basic on-chain stats: tps, accounts activity, transferred amount by type, number of validators
API and integration with notification services (Telegram channel/bot) will increase your chances to win.
Evaluation priorities:
- The coverage and detail of basic metrics.
- Speed and aesthetic appearance.
- The complexity of the service deployment (we expect detailed instructions).
- Understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support.

🏆 Frontend Contest: Frontend of DEX with liquidity pools, Stage 1.
Prize fund: $30 000 in Toncoins.
Deadline: 18:00 on Jan, 31 (UTC).
Task:
Create a frontend of DEX with liquidity pools for TON Blockchain.
In this stage, you need to create a working UI. Asynchronous calls to smart contracts must be mocked-up.
We require a UI for exchanging one token for another token, a UI for creating a pool with two tokens, a UI for adding and removing liquidity from a pool, a UI with a list of pools and pool statistics.
You can explore services like Uniswap and Pancake.
You must use the Typescript+React+Redux stack.
Extra dependencies and extra code are not welcome.
You can't use the idea of just copying the entire open-source Uniswap code - there is a lot of unnecessary code there.
When considering the design options, you can focus on the ton.org site, UI of standard wallets and bridge. You may find the brand assets page helpful.
We deliberately did not give ready-made references so that you have the opportunity to rethink some things in using such services.
Evaluation priorities: understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support, general correctness and speed of the application and attention to detail.
Who can take part: Anyone.
How do I submit:
Please comment on this issue on GitHub by attaching an archive or link to the open-source code with a solution, a description of the functionality, a description of the build process, your TON address to receive an award. Submission must be under the MIT license.
To avoid plagiarism, you can attach a link to a private repo to the submission, which you will make public after the deadline.

Unfortunately, no submissions meet our quality requirements.
In addition to today's results
We set high standards on the quality and speed of development to ourselves and hope to see this in contests submissions.
In the recent DEX Frontend contest, participants were tasked to make the simple UI without functionality. We have provided references, enough time and a good prize fund.
The winners also may have received support to continue developing the DEX as a full-fledged product or an invitation to become part of the TON core team.
Unfortunately, the submissions for this contest were unprofessional and not diligent. We believe that would be wrong to reward low-quality works.
Please note that in the previous contests [1], [2], the participants who completed the task received good prizes, their works have the real application, and some participants were invited to work in the core team.
We will continue to run contests and will always encourage, help and support good work.
Note that there is still no huge competition in TON contests, this is a good chance to take the main prizes for people who are able to program with high quality and be attentive to details.
