👛 Tonkeeper has been upgraded to version 2.8.0

Now, besides being a wallet, it’s becoming a browser of decentralized applications (dApps). Not everything is still connected, though. For example, sites on *.ton have yet to be supported. But you can already use Getgems with no problems.

The developers also added AED to its list of currencies and promised protection against scams and spam.

🌐Awesome! TON Storage is about to be released this week!

This is the fourth main component of the TON blockchain, conceived by the Durov brothers, authors of the project. TON Storage is an essential provider of cheap and secure information storage in a decentralized network.

As reported by Russian TON, now every user can become a storage provider using their devices and even receive payment in Ton. Thus, Ton begins to work as a utility token, making decentralization a reality. This is exactly how the Ton blockchain was intended to develop.

There will be two types of files:
➡️ public — visible to everyone
➡️ encrypted — accessible only by the owner

"In the future, TON Storage may continue its integration, and Telegram will allow any user and third-party service to store data in a reliable distributed storage."

Yay, Community!🔥

😎 The first installment of the Fragment saga has finished

...In which Fragment completed its sale of available numbers. Now you (most probably) won't be able to buy a random number. But on the other hand, numbers can still be purchased on the secondary NFT market, with a 30-50% markup — from 16 to 20 Ton. And some could be cheaper, as low as 5 Ton.

A total of 136,558 anonymous numbers have been sold.

After number auctions will have finished, we will be waiting for the second installment.

💎Open Mask has released its Beta version 0.13.1

OpenMask has released a small but important update to correct the decimal value of jetton.

As you know, the TON network is available on Orbit Bridge, and the two blockchains can freely exchange valuable tokens. OpenMask has all the functions required for jettons, except one: automatic detection. Therefore, each jetton needs to be imported manually.

Jetton addresses can be found here.

Be patient, as the Orbit Bridge takes a long time to verify transactions from other blockchains. It can take up to 20 minutes, so it’s far from being instantaneous.

⚙ TON Connect 2.0 has been launched

This is a significant event in the development of the blockchain ecosystem. We are talking about a powerful communication protocol between wallets and applications.

TON Connect 2.0 offers solutions for seamless integration. It enables services based on TON smart contracts and manages access to user assets and cryptographic keys. The protocol also considers all possible wallet⇔app interaction scenarios, allowing to add new functions without disrupting existing ones.

At the same time, the protocol does not complicate access to products, remaining an invisible, but important part of security. In addition, a wallet with TON Connect provides authentication. All user's actions in the wallet must be signed and approved by his wallet.

Applications supporting TON Connect

minter.ton.org, avanchange.com, tegro.finance, libermall.com, dedust.io, tonverifier.live, stikerface.io. mint.spiroverse.io/shop.

The protocol will likely become a standard soon, as other applications and wallets switch to it.

The team continues to strive for a convenient protocol integration. Currently, it is working on a user interface.

🔗 TON Verifier from the Orbs team

Introducing another product from Orbs: TON Verifier, an application for verifying source code on the TON network. Checking the source code provides transparency, assesses the integrity and security of smart contracts, and builds trust in the service. For users, trust is one of the key factors when using a product.

There is a growing number of products offering financial services in the TON ecosystem. Some of them may have been created for fraudulent purposes. Therefore, working on a contract without its source code may prove dangerous. Basically, you’re trusting dApps with your assets. Keep in mind that a scammy smart contract can replace code or leave a bug that puts your funds at risk.

That’s where TON Verifier comes in handy, providing code verification and authentication. Such a solution is not new, as a similar service is being provided by Etherscan for Ethereum. However, we wouldn’t want to be dependent on another network. Meanwhile, Orbs came up with TON TEP-91, which defines how an original registry with multiple verifiers will work.

In order to use this, there is no need to trust the server part of Orbs-run. Any party can set up its own verifier, put it in the verifier registry and assign it to a server.

The development team hopes that TON Verifier will become a fundamental part of smart contracts on TON.

🙂A few words about hodlers and hamsters

Every crypto project has "hodlers" and "hamsters". It's a well-known fact: hodlers hoard coins, while hamsters want profits here and now. The former put faith in the project, and the latter are eager to make a couple of bucks "while everything still works".

If you thought this happens only on the financial side, you'd be surprised, as it also applies to the teams that develop products and services.

The hodler teams have a clear plan, strive towards a goal, and are guided by a strategy. Their services are high-quality, fine-tuned and designed for the long-run. Such teams are the project's custodians and its development mechanism. A golden goose, so to speak.

The same cannot be said about hamster teams. These teams have no clear plans, no thoughts about strategy, and their tactics are based on the moment. Instead of creating opportunities, they focus on current conditions. Their goal is to benefit themselves, not the project. The project may benefit, but not nearly as much as from the hodler teams. And when times get tough, they can easily run to another project.

👛 TON Community's new video: "It's been an exciting year for TON"

It may not have been the easiest, but it was full of small victories and joyful moments.

Deep TON would like to thank everyone who is continuously building the blockchain, deploying the TON ecosystem and filling it with new meaning in this decentralized Web3 world, so unlike anything we have known before.

We want to thank the developers, partners, investors, project founders, and absolutely everyone who, in one way or another, has participated in the life of TON, and who believes in the project and puts all their efforts and creativity into it.

Happy New Year! May your dreams come true!

🔎 Offers on Fragment

Apparently, now Telegram usernames can be bought on the Fragment auction, even those that haven't been put up for sale.

This feature was first mentioned on the JpegMillionaire channel. He has conducted a small test, the results of which can be viewed here or on the screenshot above.

Once the offer gets announced, the service commits to deliver it for 1-100 Ton, depending on the indicated price.

Is it convenient? Sure. If the user agrees, he will need to go to Fragment and put his username up for auction. Then, it's a matter of chance if you'll be the lucky bidder to get it. At least it's done voluntarily, without risking getting banned by the owner of the Telegram account.
