🌐 Venture capitalists are investing in cryptocurrency startups

Need proof?

⚡️ Take a plane✈️ to Dubai and see for yourself. There will be an event matching startups, investors and venture funds on Thursday, February 23 from 17:00 to 22:00 local time.

Opus Tower was chosen as the venue, with over 1500 top managers of leading companies, 300+ venture capitalists worth over $4 billion, and over 100 investors potentially waiting for you.

At least 20 startups have signed up to participate. This includes the TON Banking ecosystem and the TON Svet project, which are developing a payment system based on the TON blockchain in Telegram.

Check out the event's website to learn more about the participants and sign up to be on the list.

DeepTonEng will raffle five tickets for this event at the nearest AMA🫠

👛 Now the UAE, Poland and Israel became a little closer

New payment methods have been added to CryptoBot: dirhams, zlotys, and shekels. Users can exchange cryptocurrencies (TON, USDT, BTC, ETH, BNB) for the desired fiat at any time through secure transactions.

The world is becoming freer while technology erases boundaries and constraints.

💎 The crowdfunding platform Startup Market has been launched

The other day we announced this crowdfunding platform as one of the little-known startup projects, and today we congratulate its team on launching the beta version.

Now Startup Market aims to expand to the following domains:
➡️NFT staking
➡️News channel
➡️Feedback option on submitted projects
➡️Projects with funding in stages
➡️Personal accounts for users
➡️Additional languages

After that, the company will implement tools for business accelerators, venture funds and private businesses.

Be bold, take a chance, and seize the opportunity to fund your project on startupmarket.io!

❓ Genesis wallets: freeze or breeze?

Yesterday TON Community called to vote "for or against" the proposal to freeze the genesis wallets of the first miners, who for the last two years have not activated their accounts.

A solution is long overdue. Since the launch of the blockchain, people in the general chat kept asking: who owns these Toncoins? Fears started spreading that suddenly, first miners will merge all their coins at once... and crush the blockchain's tokenomics.

Of course, people start worrying, compiling lists of future destroyers of the ecosystem. Representatives from the ever-friendly Everscale blockchain even developed a tracking tool to monitor the activity of these wallets in hopes of stopping such a potential scenario.

After some time, the trend changed quite drastically. More specifically, when TON made the offer to optimize its tokenomics. To solve the problem, it proposed to freeze 194 inactive wallets for 4 years if they do not find the time or desire within two months to make at least one outgoing transaction. Alas, no one has bothered yet.

This time around, the opponents of genesis wallets have become their supporters. The main narrative has become: "it creates a precedent, so any account in the TON ecosystem is at risk of being closed."

At first, we thought: have you guys forgotten that such decisions require the vote of validators? Apparently, they did not forget, but instead declared the validators biased, with no further proof.

Apparently, this dispute is far from being over.

DeepTonEng respects everyone's opinion equally. Whether you support freezing or are against it, each side has valid arguments. It's just that this sudden shift in sentiment has created confusion.

Therefore, we encourage you to vote. Every TON participant has the chance to express their opinion, much like in a DAO.

💎 The Rift Framework is here, bringing smart contract development to Python 🎉

The Skyrinng Channel announced the launch of the Rift framework for creating smart contracts on TON. Now devs can just use the familiar Python language instead of having to learn FunC and Fift.

The advantages of Rift:

⚙ The platform can be integrated at any stage of the project
⚙ Allows for development, testing and deployment of FunC/Fift contracts for TON
⚙ It is autonomous, needing only Python 3.10 and the rift-framework package

Its creators will soon come up with a step-by-step guide specifically for TON.

PS. We are not against convenience, as we understand that Python can be more accessible and it contribute to the influx of new TON users, which is great.

Yet it isn't clear why are TON developers abandoning the blockchain's native FanC and Fift languages.

When Everscale was overhauled on Rust, it ended up becoming a new blockchain. Similar proposals are being made for TON.

Is it because FunC and Fift are overly cumbersome and difficult? We @DeepTonEng would love an in-depth explanation.
