NFTs x Tonkeeper

@GetGems and @Tonkeeper teams have released a big update today. Starting now, your NFTs will be displayed directly in a special wallet tab, and the only thing you need to do to set it up is proceed with authorization on GetGems. This will make user interaction with the marketplace much more convenient and easier, and will also enable NFT trading using mobile devices.

This was a huge and valuable work, which started a new round in the TON NFT space development. Want to congratulate the devs? Download Tonkeeper and check this feature out 💎

Market stats

Today we would like to share the sales statistics of our collection on the secondary market.

The total sales amount is 659000💎 ~ $800,000 at the current rate, or $1,260,000 when calculating the amount at the rate of each individual sale. This is an absolute record for the TON NFT market.

The number of deals slightly exceeds 1000, most of the holders continue to hold their punks with an iron grip 🦾

And finally - the average price of a punk on the secondary market was 631 TON - more than 4X from minting price 🎉

We are proud of our performance and believe that 💎 TON Punks is an absolute must-have for every TON NFT collectioner.

Premium users bonus feature

Following our popular community-created tool @punks_bot update, owners of multiple TON Punks💎 NFTs have got an opportunity to make a GIF that will combine all of their NFTs in one animation.

Telegram Premium users can set those GIFs as their animated avatar — it looks pretty!

Our common cause

Open source is often considered a foundation of any blockchain system, boosting its progress significantly. We suppose it's necessary to form a contribution culture in TON.

Today we're publishing our Telegram bots repositories to all interested developers and project managers. These will help to organize your NFT community.

https://github.com/TON-Punks

Some of TON NFT projects already spotted these bots and proceeded to modify them - you may see these teams appearing on Fork repo pages.

Another Twitter Spaces is coming at you on Tuesday!

This time, we will be chatting with TON Punks about open source solutions on The Open Network, why it’s important, the best way to approach it, and how anyone can benefit from this new Web3 reality.

Tune in today at 7 pm GMT+3 to join the discussion and WIN a TON Punk! The rules are simple — you can find them in this tweet.

Soulbound NFTs on TON

On January 26, 2022, Vitalik Buterin introduced the SoulBound NFT concept in his blog. The actual difference between ordinary NFT and Soulbound token is that it's neither tradable nor marketable — it remains tethered to one single owner forever, and its purpose is to reflect achievements of the owner. The original Vitalik’s write-up is available 👉here.

Our partners from Getgems disclosed a new grant for smart-contract developers. It will be delivered to the team that will successfully implement the Soulbound NFT standard in TON.

Task details combined with some TON-specific ideas could be found 👉there.

It seems very important for us to ensure such a standard will appear on TON as soon as possible since we see a lot of use cases for it — even in our projects. This is why we're adding 1000💎 to the grant fund, doubling its total amount.

🏙Punk City Sustainable P2E

Today we're sharing our Neon Paper — quintessence of the next-gen P2E Punk City economic model.

The document includes:

1) Mistakes analysis of modern Play-to-Earn project economies — financial pyramids and dependence on new players.

2) Alternative proposal — our own development of balance improvements and sustainable economy based on creating value

3) Influence of Play-to-Earn on mass cryptocurrency adoption, both in general and particularly with TON. Real-world consequences and labor market changes.

We truly believe that TON Community should avoid Stepn's and Axie's mistakes.

Enjoy reading.

Punk City leaves closed beta the next week.

Punk City 🌃

A week ago, we described the economic structure of our play2earn ecosystem, and today it is finally being released 🎉

The closed beta test of PunkCity, which has been running in our holders’ chat, ends with the launch of the MutantToadz🐸 game

🎮Top 15 players will also receive an NFT from MutantToadz

@PunkCity2094bot

Punk City's experience system 🧬

In our NeonPaper, we described and declared the principle of creating independent value for in-game resources, which will not depend on the money flow of newcomers. Today, we're telling about the realization of this principle within the game with Experience 🧬 and Praxis 💾

During the PunkCity battles, the player obtains Experience 🧬 exchangeable to Praxis 💾 via the Shopping Alley's bank. There are different exchanges featuring different rates and conversion times, adding even more value.

On the black market, a player with Praxis 💾 is getting access to exclusive TON Punks💎 and Punk City's partners' goods. TON Punks💎 NFT animation and WL access for MutantToadz🐸 are already available!

PunkMaster

Community development has always been our main priority; that's why we've been developing our own TON NFT tools right since we started. We even open-sourced it, yet we found not everyone wants to deal with code and GitHub to set them up. This became a reason for @PunkMasterBot — the best-ever no-code tool for NFT community managers.

At this moment, the Verification, Notification, and Lottery modules are packed up and ready for use. All of this works on top of your own bot, which you set up with your name, bio, and profile pic.

The masterbot will continuously develop and update with new and unique features coming in really soon. If you already use one of our open-source solutions it will definitely worth switching over to the new @PunkMasterBot to gain access to new features.

Convenient tool for managing communities:
