According to the TON INFO channel, the Wallet payment feature is testing acquiring. Some users have noticed that the @wallet_pay_demo_store_bot is offering test payments with @wallet. That is to say, Wallet is about to allow external developers' bots to accept payments easily in TON.
TON INFO has confirmed that the team at @wallet is working on this feature.

⭕️ TON is reminding main network validators and lite server owners to perform the necessary software updates.
Please make sure to update validators one at a time, not all at once.

On this memorable day, TON has officially started supporting decentralized TON Storage. Thаt's is big news for the TON Blockchain, because such a solution for reliable data storage will significantly improve the whole TON ecosystem.
Before we can benefit from its full array of features, Ton Storage will still need many hours of development to perfect the auxiliary components of its service.

Let's face it, our industry could be in better shape. The crypto winter has frozen projects, companies and people's hopes. Bitcoin fell to $17 thousand, mining revenue is down by 80-99%, large companies, banks and projects (FTX, Celsius, Wyre...) got exposed and went bankrupt, and thousands of companies are on the verge of survival. And sadly, nothing seems to stop the bear onslaught.
To some extent, starting a new project at this time is risky at best. But once it has been launched and starts developing, it's hard to ignore.
At the end of 2022, TON announced plans to deploy its ecosystem. This is not to say that it would put aside core development (upgrading crucial components of the blockchain). Note that the successful development of the ecosystem depends on the security, reliability and constant updating of the blockchain.
It's just that in 2023 Ton Foundation will allocate more funds and attention to decentralized dApps, DeFi infrastructure, educational platforms, attracting developers and so on.
Rise and shine, Community!
For any questions or concerns, let us know in the comments. We'll look over it and try to help.

The Web3 teams that will win in 2023 will be the ones that track and improve the retention of users and developers. This is done by shifting marketing resources from acquisition to engagement campaigns.
According to James Ross, there are three sequential stages:
In order to understand how an ecosystem is growing, we need to analyze what existing blockchains, such as Ethereum, Polygon and Solana were striving for. For instance:
Recruiting developers who can build and scale applications will be a key battle for L1/L2 in 2023.
This was Ross' opinion. Now let’s hear yours.

Part 1. Introduction
For several days, DeepTonEng has been closely observing the events related to the sale of Scale coins and has accumulated enough information to share with our valued subscribers.
The information presented below is based on facts, but it's still ambiguous. You can either criticize, refute, agree with it or take heed. We recommend the latter, because we aim to protect those who are new to crypto and need some help figuring out how to avoid scammers.
It is a very common manipulation scheme in the cryptocurrency industry. The coin price is artificially inflated through generous promises of quick income and other benefits. But, being just empty promises, they end up costing those who were involved in the pump, who then lose almost all of the invested funds during the dump phase (when the price drops sharply).
How a pump scheme functions
It starts off with a person or a group buying a cheap asset and spreading positive news about it. They often launch an advertising campaign on social networks such as Telegram, Twitter, Discord and others. Motivated by the fear of missing out (FOMO), investors quickly buy up the asset. That causes the value of the coin to rise dramatically.
As soon as the price is "pumped up", the organizers sell their large share, causing the price to drop. The investors then sell their own coins in panic during this "dump" phase. After that, the organizers either disappear immediately, or buy back the coins to pretend that they're innocent. End of the story.
If you see that a new coin has suddenly attracted a lot of attention, take the time to research it. Find out when it was founded and review its technical documentation to understand what kind of solutions it has to offer. Don't solely rely on the words of others.
Tomorrow, we'll tell you our version of what happened with the Scaleton jettons.

🧊 Tokenomics 2023: freezing inactive addresses of early miners
Such was the title of a recent article on the Russian TON channel. It came at a very good time, since rumors about this began to spread on the web and beyond. People were speculating, adding their own suppositions, comments and hasty conclusions about what might happen and how.
This is why we've decided to include the full article below.
_______________
TON developers plan to carry out large-scale improvements in tokenomics. As you may know, most TON coin issue (💎 4.98 billion) was made through mining, but mining gained real popularity only by the time there were less than 500 million coins left. As a result, many were left wonder who owns most of the coins.
In early interviews, Anatoly Makosov considered most of these early wallets lost or forgotten. In December, there was a call for early miners to show signs of life by making a transaction.
Turns out, his assumption was confirmed. Now TF will be introducing a suspended_list in an upcoming blockchain update. This list contains addresses that will not be allowed to make transactions for a certain period.
It includes addresses that have mined coins but have not performed any actions since then; that is, they were lost or forgotten. The "freeze" functionality is already being tested.
If validators accept the offer, about 1 billion TON coins (20% of the issue) will be frozen for several years.

This is awesome news. MyTonWallet just became the first TON wallet with accessible and fully decentralized staking using the official TON Nominator smart contract. This gives neither the developers nor anyone else access to the deposited funds.
The reserved funds will be used to support the network with its proof-of-stake consensus. Investors will not only receive passive income from holding TON, but can also vote, taking part in the growth and development of The Open Network.
Right now, TON holders with a balance of 10,000 or more can make their first deposits through MyTonWallet. A new version of the smart contract will soon be released, allowing a lower deposit threshold, so that almost any user will be able to stake through the MyTonWallet.
Congratulations to the team on this new feature! ✨🎈

⛔️ Scaleton, DeDust and their communities: was there a pump&dump?
Last time, we discussed a fraudulent scheme called "pump and dump". The Scaleton token case practically matches it one-to-one. However, instead of just stating the conclusions of our findings, we will let you, our community, decide what really happened. Don't just take our word for it - consider the facts and whether the reasoning makes sense to you. There are also some obvious things that don't need proof, so use your judgment to draw the best conclusion for yourself.
Stay tuned with @DeepTonEng

Developer Vadim Volodin has integrated the TON blockchain into the Trust Wallet Сore. This is neat, because now people can add TON coins to their Trust Wallets on Android and iOS.
Trust Wallet Core is a cross-platform library that supports low-level crypto wallet functions for many blockchains. Its core is protected by a license issued by MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Its development team is very selective when it comes to blockchain integration. They have stated that "the project is valuable for people who hold Toncoin and other cryptocurrencies, but would like to hold everything in single wallet on native blockchains. Adding toncoin to wallet-core will enable projects that use it, integrate it faster."

The company CryptoGas.shop, registered in the fall of 2022, announced plans to integrate with The Open Network. It will contribute its inter-network payment solution and accelerate the growth of the blockchain ecosystem.
The service is built on a decentralized cross-chain protocol calle МixPay, which provides a quick and convenient way of trading tokens. Moreover, it supports the use of any currency, wallet or exchange for purchasing cryptocurrency. Not to forget its other advantages: anonymity and low commissions.
With the help of CryptoGas.shop, TON holders will now be able to trade more cryptocurrencies and tokens from blockchains such as BNB (BSC), Aptos, Tron, Solana, Mixin Network, Polygon, and Cosmos.
Its developers have noted that TON ecosystem has a large community, which will bring in more trade volume. In return, CryptoGas.shop will attract traders and investors from all over the world to TON through a wide range of trading services.
See for yourself
Always on the lookout, @DeepTonEng

The Derivatives Exchange BIT announced the launching of the world's first TON/USD option pair. Until now, TON options were only available for BTC, ETH and BCH.
The BIT platform was founded by Matrixport, a well-known integrated financial services provider in the crypto industry.
Keep in mind that the exchange may collect and transfer personal data to third parties. Aside from information required to run the application, it may collect sensitive information, such as e-mail, physical address, phone number, as well as some files and documents. The app also uses device IDs and other identifiers. More on this

TON Society is releasing a series on members of the Ton Foundation. The first one is Alec Korba, a historian, futurist, expert on crypto, decentralization, WEB3, and a pro on global technological partnerships, strategic alliances and business development.
A quick Q&A summary with Alec:
When did you join the TON Foundation, and what are your roles and responsibilities?
What features of TON impressed you the most?
I have been working with L1 grants for a long time, and seeing how the industry has developed, I realized how inefficient this model is. Project founders spend a lot of time applying for grants and rarely receive the expected capital.
We are developing a way to make our grant figures public, so anyone can register and achieve the key indicators necessary to obtain funding.
These grants ought to be based on metrics that can be tracked.
Financing should always be diversified. A founder needs to bring together strategic partnerships, equity investors, consultants, and communities.
Here are the most important steps: secure operational funding, invest in your community, focus on communication, find the right consultants and build a relationship with the foundation.
Giving back to the community is important because it strengthens your position. That includes sharing some of the things you create as open source.
Yours truly, @DeepTonEng is eager to find out more.

GAGARIN is a project by RSquad, a blockchain lab that develops inter-network solutions at TON. The team is known for delivering on its promises. At the end of last year, it launched a lite TON client that enables compatibility with EVM-based blockchains. Trustless Bridge is another product that was praised by members of the community.
Although there are already crowdfunding platforms on TON, such as Tonstarter and Startup Market, GAGARIN’s launchpad is about to become a worthy competitor. Aside from having the basic mechanics of a launchpad, the project brings additional value in the form of tier levels.
Tiers are a ranking system where users are grouped by the number of locked tokens they own. This then defines how many they will receive at the time of allocation.
There are several ways to gain Allocation Power:
GAGARIN launched the Ambassadors Program, open to anyone of its 80,000 community members. Just in the last few days, more than 170 people have applied.
You may be wondering: why so many? Here’s why: ambassadors will receive a unique NFT and the opportunity to participate in the GAGARIN IDO (Initial DEX Offering) and earn additional income. Two types of NFT have been released: rare ($475) and epic ($1,900).
Check out the details here on how to participate.
The devs have completed integration with TON in mid-January, so now startups can raise funds to launch their projects. There, for instance, you can find the IDO of a project called NFTPaintings. It’s a platform created by a startup for buying artwork with cryptocurrency and it offers unique opportunities for investing in art.
So, here is the opportunity to participate in the listing of GAGARIN and find out about the unique perks of this crowdfunding platform.

⛔️ Recently, it became known that VTB launched its Telegram application, becoming the first bank in the Russian and global financial market to work with this messenger.
However, it was reported that Roskomnadzor, the Russian ministry of censorship, has designated Telegram as a foreign entity, limiting its potential to offer banking and financial products. In addition, the law will prohibit Telegram from integrating donations and subscription services starting from March 1st.
Why these measures were necessary is pure mystery.

It looks like OpenMask will soon be able to compete with the best TON wallets, such as Tonkeeper, TonHub, and MyTonWallet. We're seeing that the app is developing quickly and smoothly, and it has also implemented a range of functions for helping developers.
It's not the first time that the success of this non-custodial wallet has drawn our attention. More news today - OpenMask, similar to Metamask, now supports Connect 2.0, the official protocol that enables communication between wallets and applications in the TON ecosystem. This means that the wallet is able to integrate most decentralized applications.
The following may be useful for developers:

As per @CryptoBot, the app will no longer allow its use to carry out illegal transactions or receive coins from suspicious sources.
The news bot reminded that several large P2P trading platforms have gone out of business for this reason.
Committing fraudulent actions, laundering cryptocurrencies from black markets, and any other illegal activity will certainly lead to the accounts being permanently banned. Any persons who violate these rules will be refused our services, stressed the app administrators.
