👨‍💻How to protect yourself from intruders?

Cybersecurity is an urgent and important matter. Unfortunately, elaborate scams are increasingly threatening the safety of crypto wallets. For example, yesterday, a user's wallet was hacked for more than 4,000,000 TON (worth around $9,200,000).

Let's take a look at the most popular scams that hackers can use against you:
- Phishing attacks: it's a social engineering method where attackers impersonate legitimate organizations to gain access to confidential data. For example, they can send an email looking like it's from your DEX exchange and asking you to log in using your credentials.

- Fake crypto wallets: attackers can forge legitimate-looking crypto wallets and ask to send them cryptocurrency or to enter your seed phrase. However, as soon as they get hold of them, you may find that you have been robbed.

- Investment fraud: scammers can deceive users by enticing them to invest in crypto projects or exchanges that supposedly provide high returns. However, as this is too good to be true, users end up losing their money.

- Viruses and malware: attackers can use malicious software to access accounts or steal cryptocurrency from a user's wallet.

How to avoid these kinds of scams?

Always use caution and do not trust unverified sources of information. If you receive a suspicious email or message, make sure to check the source and double check in the chats of community projects.

Keep your seed phrase secure, don't share it with anyone, use only verified wallets and avoid connecting tools and services to your main wallet.

💱Telegram Premium coming to Fragment?

The word "Premium" has been spotted in the source code of the marketplace Fragment. This hints that a subscription service will soon be for sale on the marketplace, much like usernames and phone numbers are now.

We can see that "Premium" refers to a Telegram subscription from the presence of other parameters such as "gift", "month", etc.

💱Voting on the launch of the Ethereum-TON bridge

Today, the mainnet validators of the TON network held a vote to decide on the network configuration and the adjustment of some original parameters that were unchanged since the launch of TON. This helps to better match current network usage.

📊A vote will take place on March 30 from 09:00 to 23:59 UTC on the launch of the Ethereum-TON token bridge.

This bridge will allow users to transfer any ERC-20 network tokens (such as USDC or USDT) originating from Ethereum to the TON blockchain as well as transfer them back.

The transferred tokens will show up on TON as regular tokens, so TON services such as STON.fi, DeDust.io and other DEX will be compatible without needing any updates.

You can learn more about smart contracts here and here.

🥳Happy April Fool's day! Let's make a flashmob!

Pavel Durov wished everyone on his channel happy Fool's Day, saying he could change his last name to "Du Rov" or "Paul Du Rov" after becoming a French citizen.

And, as the holder of a Saudi passport, Pavel could become the honorable AlDura.

He also renamed his channel to "Du Rove's Channel" 🤡.

So, dear community leaders and members, let's join in on the flash mob!😏!😏

📣$14,700 for one NFT

The Metamorphoses team shared their experience with the Go Mobile marketing agency, which attracted a mere 30 sales in the English-speaking market.

The agency was contracted for the following tasks:
- Develop a marketing strategy and positioning for the collection
- Sell 1448 NFT images
- Generate demand high enough to create a secondary market

Here are their final results::
- Their vibrant Twitter account went from 26k followers down to 15k (partly due to banning of bots), reposts and likes went from 1k+ to just around 0
- 4k users in Discord, who generated 1k+ chat messages daily, also went quiet. Just as with Twitter, their current activity is close to none
- Out of an audience of over 30k participants, 97.72% ignored the sales day event

The team requested a refund and compensation for the failed project and reputational damage to the artists and the collection.

When faced with the evidence of their lousy work, the Metamorphoses agency received the following response: "It's your own fault that you didn't control us. We are not going to return the money."

As a result, after $447,495 was spent, the campaign generated only 30 sales, got a bunch of bots on Twitter and Discord, and received a refund of only $121,890.

➡️Independent validation on the TON network

The Orbs team, known for developing projects such as TON Minter and TON Contract Verifier, has developed a smart contract for network validators that uses a single nominator.

This technique skips intermediaries by using isolated cold wallets and provides secure transaction confirmations.

The tool for launching nodes on TON network is distributed free of charge. The source code has been verified by Certik experts and is available for review.

The "Single Nominator" smart contract significantly reduces the attack opportunities because:
- it keeps the the validator node's hot wallet separate from staked funds
- it eliminates vulnerabilities related to gas consumption
- in case the wallet gets compromised, the owner can change the validator's address
- staked funds can be restored in emergency situations, such as after a faulty upgrade

Third-party projects and developers are constantly supporting the development of our blockchain, which is very reassuring!❤️

👑TON Ambassador Program

On April 7, TON's official Twitter account announced a potential new ambassador program. They are hoping to gauge the potential demand from active users and figure out it's likelihood of success.

Will they be able to carry out this program properly, or will it turn out just as with the recent Twitter Thread Challenge?

We hope that the organizers will take into consideration improvement points that came up with the recent TON Thread Challenge, and we should expect a more successful ambassador program this time around.
