Today, HashKey Group and TON Foundation announced a strategic partnership that will leverage HashKey Group's effective financial management in the Asia-Pacific region and promote potential investments in the TON ecosystem. This decision reflects mutual confidence in the network's growth and development.

HashKey Group, founded in 2018, is a leading provider of comprehensive financial services in the digital asset sphere in Asia, guided by the principle of "compliance above all."

Both organizations aim to integrate cryptocurrency more seamlessly into everyday life.

The partnership will explore new ways to support early-stage projects in the TON ecosystem and increase access to fiat on-ramps and off-ramps for Telegram Wallet users in the specified region.

The partnership will continue initiatives like the TON Bootcamp, fostering the development of new and promising blockchain projects on TON. HashKey Group also plans to invest in TON ecosystem projects based on thorough analysis.

"As we embark on this strategic partnership with TON Foundation, we are committed to enhancing digital asset services for users across the Asia-Pacific region," said Livio Weng, Chief Operating Officer of HashKey Group.

"Led by local teams already achieving virality, we look forward to ushering in a new generation of mini-app builders on TON."

As they focus on the Hong Kong market, TON Foundation and HashKey Group commit to comply with all regional laws and regulations. Success in this initial market will serve as the foundation for expanding their joint efforts elsewhere, aligning with their common goal of promoting accessible and decentralized financial services.

🤓Elon Musk responded to Durov's story

Earlier, Pavel Durov posted a screenshot of an article in his story with the headline "TON outpaces $DOGE...", accompanied by a sad sticker of Elon and a caption: "Sorry, Elon!"

In response, Musk posted a meme on his X page that questions the seriousness of any discussion about DOGE, originally created as a joke. He also hinted at how easily he can influence this process.

Yes, Mr. Mars. Things happen.
Technology and functionality end up replacing all that is unnecessary. 🤷‍♂️ Perhaps he could have found answers to all the questions in this article...

✨А Historical Moment

On Firday, Pavel Durov (Telegram) and Paolo Ardoino (Tether) spoke at the TOKEN2049 conference. Community discussions were on fire: will they talk about bringing USDT to the TON blockchain? And why is the announcement made by Durov and not by Steve Yun?

The official TON account on X stirred intrigue by posting the TON logo surrounded by symbols of USDT, STONfi, Tonstakers, Gemstone, and Fanzee.

All of the aforementioned tokens are part of The Open Platfom. What to expect: cross-chain integration, new utilities, or strategic partnerships?

Yesterday, Wallet introduced a new way to transfer cryptocurrency: as simple as "sending a message." The idea of sending USDT in private messages, similar to how it's done with TON now, will be a new experience for users worldwide.

The live stream featuring Pavel and Paul at TOKEN2049 was cast on YouTube at 14:20 Moscow time.

Regardless of the market's reaction to the announcement, it's good to be in the know: the talk is a significant step for ecosystem development, so buckle up 😅

💙Tether successfully minted 10 million dollars in TON

💰1 billion USDT in TON

Steve Yun announced an increase in USDT collateral on TON:

Next stop: $1 billion USDt on TON by the Gateway in November.

💵The first payment in USDT on the TON network has been completed

The company ivendPay, a digital payment provider, executed a payment in USDT by harnessing TON's blockchain technology.

They integrated the new stablecoin from Tether into their payment systems. The transaction was processed through a special smartphone app and was handled instantly thanks to NFC technology, which works simply by tapping the phone to a terminal.

Thus, ivendPay demonstrated how to utilize cutting-edge technologies in everyday life to simplify payments. They strive to be ahead of the curve in terms of innovation and payment convenience, offering fresh solutions to its market.

This is quite something!

🔒Exploit discovered in Telegram Channel Rewards

In the last few days, the first payments from advertisement revenue began flowing into the wallets of Telegram channel owners. Catch up on this feature here.

Users have found a vulnerability allowing them to repeatedly withdraw rewards, which they successfully exploited:

- The owner of wallet ...FCifC repeatedly withdrew a reward of 265.45 TON for a total of ~16,723 TON

- The owner of wallet ...MlGX7, similarly to the previous one, abused a reward of 167.47 TON for a total of ~3,616 TON

- The owner of wallet ...xBa_4, abused a reward of 50.7 TON, withdrawing a total of ~3092 TON

- The owner of wallet ...6MKmA, abused two rewards for a total of ~2774 TON

In total, from all known cases, over 26 thousand TON has been funneled and sold on exchanges. Due to this sell-off, the TON price dipped to $5.5.

Such abuse has now been put to an end, it seems. We are monitoring the situation for further details.

Your empathetical @TonPost

😨Farming in Catizen profitably

To get a boost from the very beginning, you should purchase coin packs. The first coin purchase will double your coins, so you're best off purchasing 39,000 $FISH for $130, so that at the end you'd get 78,000 $FISH.

First of all, we recommend spending $FISH on automatic breeding, and saving the remaining coins for better times.

Auto-breeding allows you to simply open the game and watch your cats breed. Keep this option in mind, as it makes things easier.

Why save $FISH? The higher level your cats reach, the higher your hourly $vKitty income becomes, so you can double a larger sum of income with fishing. Therefore, it's best to be patient, as it doesn't make sense to use accelerators from the start.

Mascots and boosts will also help multiply your tokens or cats. But don't rush spending all your $FISH on them. Allocate some $FISH in your wallet to pay for transaction confirmations.

Having accumulated enough funds, don't rush to buy high-level cats. Go to the store and start buying cats from lower prices to increasingly higher, thereby increasing your cat arsenal.

Don't forget about other mechanics in the cat metaverse, which will help you level up successfully. You can learn more about the game in our post.

⚡️TON network fees slashed thrice

In response to its recent increase in value, the TON network has lowered fees for all transactions three times! This decision aims to improve the scalability and accessibility of TON, as its developers are constantly looking to foster innovation and stimulate activity within the TON ecosystem.

Starting from April 16, there will be a special discount on transactions in USDt. The fee for the first transaction has been reduced from 0.032 TON to 0.02 TON, and for subsequent transactions - to only 0.0145 TON.

Validators have approved the TON Core Dev team's proposal for another threefold reduction in fees. Now the cost of the first transaction is approximately $0.06, and subsequent transactions are around $0.04, assuming 1 TON = $7. The cost will vary depending on the fluctuation in the value of TON.

In the next node update, TON Core Dev team will introduce pre-compiling smart contracts. This means that the most popular smart contracts written in C++ will be embedded directly into the node, eliminating the need to execute them in TVM. This change reduces resource consumption and, consequently, the fees associated with these contracts.

Your discount @TonPost

💵Advantages of USDT on the TON Network

On April 19 at the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai, Pavel Durov (CEO and founder of Telegram), Paolo Ardoino (CEO of Tether), and Andrey Rogozov (CEO of TOP) announced the introduction of USDT on TON.

What sets USDT on the TON network apart from other networks?

- Instant transfers for all Telegram users via @wallet.
Done by sending a personal message, no need for a wallet address or any external application.

- Low network fees and quick transactions. The fee for a USDT transaction between two users is fixed at only 0.0145 TON (~$0.10).
TON's high throughput and fast confirmation times allow for faster processing of USDT transactions.

- In less than a month after introducing its USDT provision, TON network has risen to 8 out of 16 blockchains in Tether's ranking.
The provision of USDT on TON amounts to $130,000,000.

- USDT on TON network is already supported on OKX, ByBit, Kucoin, MEXC, Bitfinex and other exchanges.
Transferring funds from all supported exchanges to TON will be completely free of charge until the end of June 2024.

- This is a major innovation and a completely new experience for cryptocurrency users.
To pay the transaction fee, users will no longer need to hold the the host network's native coin. On the TON network, the transfer itself will be paid in USDT.

Integrating USDT into the Wallet and the TON ecosystem has simplified USDT transactions for the crypto community, distinguishing it vividly from other blockchain solutions.

For the first time, users have a native stablecoin, enjoying the benefits of transfers within Telegram to any contact for free, and soon they could even pay gas fees with USDT (TON).

Businesses of all sizes using Wallet Pay will benefit from fast payments and low fees, expanding their operations to Telegram's worldwide user base.

This integration became another accessible entry point into the system, combining the benefits of digital currencies with the stability of traditional fiat currencies. This greatly simplifies newcomers' experience and paves the way to explore the benefits of DeFi in Telegram.
