🚀 The TAC project aims to open access to TON ecosystem for EVM applications
⚫️ Recently, news about the launch of a Layer 2 network on TON made the rounds, but it later became clear that this is not a TON Foundation development but a private initiative from the Bemo project team. Let’s delve into the details:
— The architecture of TON fundamentally differs from Ethereum and other EVM blockchains. Because of this, porting an EVM application or game to TON has always been challenging.
— The newly announced TON Application Chain (TAC) project now allows the launch of applications for EVM and provides access to them for TON users.
— This L2 solution («overlay» on the main L1 blockchain) is implemented using Polygon CDK technology.
— TAC is led by Pavel Altukhov (also the CEO of the liquid staking protocol @bemofinanceENG), and The Open Platform has backed the project.
— Pavel told The Daily TON that the launch of TAC is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.
— According to him, EVM application developers will be able to use their code in TAC without modifications, and for users, the experience will look like this: «Connecting a TON wallet directly to an application running in TAC, and interacting with it from the TON side».
⚫️ We anticipate the migration of DeFi projects from other blockchains to TON, meaning a new round of competition in the ecosystem and more interesting activities for users.

🐤 Dodo Pizza and Telegram Usernames: A clash between the real world and web3
Recently, an unusual showdown has erupted within the Telegram ecosystem, particularly within the TON community: Dodo Pizza (Russian pizzeria chain) is attempting to reclaim the @dodopizza username from a user who previously purchased it on the Fragment platform.
⚫️ How did it all start? The username had been owned by the company since 2018 but was lost due to channel inactivity. At the time, Dodo Pizza seemingly saw no potential in running a Telegram page. After Fragment's launch, a major TON investor bought the username at a public auction.
⚫️ In early June, Dodo Pizza decided to reclaim the username, only to discover it was not just linked to a random account but also formatted as an NFT on TON Blockchain. Communication between the parties failed, and Dodo Pizza decided to take the matter to court (and has already filed a lawsuit), to which TON enthusiast responded by purchasing another username — @dodo. Moreover, the company named Telegram as the defendant, hinting at the messenger's connection with Fragment and suggesting unfair competition.
⚫️ To defend the principles of decentralization, network users supported a flashmob with a provocative rabbit emoji (which we will not display here), further fueling the fire and giving Dodo's lawyers a reason to also attack for the illegal use of the logo. With each new twist in the escalation, the owner sets a higher price for the usernames: starting at $500,000 at the beginning of the saga, then $1M, $1.5M, and now $2M.
⚫️ It's worth noting that there is a mechanism where a company can request a username from Telegram if it already uses it on two or more social networks — there have been precedents. This situation could create an amusing paradox: the NFT with the username exists in the user's wallet, but it's no longer linked to Telegram. It remains to be seen why this option wasn't utilized, and what went wrong in the communication between Dodo Pizza and Telegram.
👁 Will the pizzeria and the username owner come to an agreement? Will Telegram get involved in the dispute, and will this story change the rules in the web3 arena? We'll find out very soon.
P.S. This incident isn't the only case where big business has collided with web3 thanks to Telegram. We'll write about positive examples in a separate post.

📉 Fee reductions now extend to DEX as well
⚫️ We all recall how, after a validator vote in April, the fees on TON were reduced by 2.5 times. Developers made this move in response to the rising cost of Toncoin (up to $7) and the rapid influx of new users into the blockchain.
⚫️ Today, one of the most popular protocols in the ecosystem, the decentralized exchange DeDust.io, has announced a significant reduction in its fees as well (in some cases, the cost has been reduced by up to four times). Let's take a closer look at the changes:
✔️ The base fee for swaps has been reduced from 0.4% to 0.25%
✔️ The fee for exchanges in stableswap pools has been lowered from 0.1% to 0.05%
✔️ For the TON/USDT pair, a special offer will apply until the end of July: the fee has been reduced from 0.4% to 0.1%
⚫️ Additionally, the DeDust.io team has optimized the protocol's smart contracts, thereby significantly reducing gas consumption during transactions.
⚫️ The reduction in fees will make trading on the exchange more profitable, which in turn will attract new users to DeDust.io, and encourage existing ones to trade tokens even more frequently. As a result, trading volumes will increase, meaning that liquidity providers and $SCALE stakers will eventually earn more.

✈️ How does Telegram Ads work and why are channels earning less?
⚫️ Recently, Telegram introduced the ability to launch advertising campaigns for TON alongside Euro payments. While fiat-based ad purchases undergo at least minimal moderation, ads through ads.telegram.org can be launched for just 20 TON without strict product requirements, a loophole quickly exploited by numerous scammers.
⚫️ Moreover, in recent months, numerous million-audience channels discussing the TON blockchain have emerged on Telegram. These include both old-timers of the ecosystem, like The Daily TON, and new pages, particularly official channels of popular clickers, which are prime targets for scammer advertisements.
⚫️ As we know, a large audience brings great responsibility. But what can channel authors do if they cannot control the ads displayed on their pages to non-premium users? We assume Telegram is trying to address this issue by disabling the display of ads launched via the TON cabinet on all major pages.
⚫️ Now, on large crypto channels, you can only see ads purchased with Euros, which is why author revenues have significantly dropped compared to previous months. Do you think Telegram will come up with a more elegant solution to control scam ads, or will crypto bloggers have to forget about decent monetization?

💎 How to stay updated with everything happening on TON?
If you often find yourself asking this question, rest assured — you're not alone. Even we at The Daily TON have faced this challenge lately.
⚫️ Our channel is one of the oldest in the ecosystem. We've been reporting on TON Blockchain for over two years and have witnessed every phase of its development. We can confidently say that TON is currently experiencing its most vibrant and active phase.
⚫️ A clear sign of this is that sometimes even we struggle to keep up with what's happening. Miss a day in the info sphere, and everything changes: new tokens top The Open League, two dozen clicker games with millions of followers appear in Telegram Mini Apps, and thousands of Twitter users suddenly starting to storm the blockchain.
⚫️ In the past, we watched all events unfold right before our eyes, often orchestrated by someone we knew or someone who first joined the community before launching their project. Nowadays, we often find ourselves in the role of observers, learning about news from other channels or getting acquainted with a product only after its launch.
⚫️ Nevertheless, we continue to write about the most important and interesting events in the TON ecosystem and have no plans to slow down. Thank you to everyone who has followed us from the beginning, and a special thanks to the newcomers who bring life to our blockchain ❤️

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
🔥 On Friday, USDT on TON Blockchain was fully integrated on Binance, making it the second TON token (after $NOT) to be listed on the most popular centralized exchange.
⚫️ We discussed one of the 11 participants of TON Accelerator — the Maincard gaming platform, where users make predictions in order to upgrade special cards, which can then be profitably sold at an internal auction for TON or $MCN.
⚫️ In light of DefiLlama adding detailed information about liquidity pools from DeDust.io, we decided to remind you of the benefits of this analytics platform and analyze the main metrics of TON Blockchain.
⚫️ The non-custodial wallet Tonhub from the TON Whales team has integrated DeDust.io jetton swaps into its interface, allowing users to exchange tokens directly within the app without additional fees.
⚫️ We described the situation in the TON NFT sector, explored the new category in The Open League, and talked about the current campaign in Community bot, where you can acquire an NFT from the contemporary artist Gsmgarden for just 1 TON.

📈 The ultimate tool for DYOR
⚫️ The latest turbulence in the world of cryptocurrencies is a good reason to firmly hold on to your seed phrase and refrain from looking at DEX and CEX, where users, in a panic, often sell and buy assets, frequently losing significant amounts. But then what should you do and where can you follow up-to-date information about trading platforms and trending tokens?
⚫️ Today, we invite all newcomers to get acquainted, and seasoned users to revisit, the popular service for analyzing decentralized protocols, DefiLlama. Especially since the platform recently added detailed information (including boosts) from liquidity pools on DeDust.io. DefiLlama features more than 422 protocols across 90 different blockchains, but we are primarily interested in the metrics for TON, of course.
⚫️ Last week, many reported that TON ecosystem's TVL had surpassed the $500 million mark, but if you visit the link now, you can see that the volume of locked funds has already reached $618 million. This is primarily due to the ongoing issuance of USDT on TON (the market capitalization of the stablecoin has reached $449.28M).
⚫️ DefiLlama provides analytics not only on protocols but also on individual tokens (including stablecoins) and even NFT collections. Advanced users can also download the necessary data in .csv format at any time for further analysis. We invite you to personally visit DefiLlama and explore the capabilities of the service.

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
🔥 On Saturday night, the price of Toncoin reached its all-time high at $8.239. This surge drew attention to TON Blockchain, as other cryptocurrencies were showing a decline in value at the time.
⚫️ Last week kicked off with the conclusion of The Open League Summer Bootcamps. Find out what it was like and don't forget to participate in our t-shirt giveaway. Links to photos from the meetups in Moscow, Berlin, and Kyiv are available in the official TON Society Announcements channels.
⚫️ With new boosts in liquidity pools, the fourth season of The Open League has begun. In the Token Battle category, 57 projects are now competing, with the entry of the token $NOT among the participants being the highlight — many contestants have set their sights on surpassing this legendary coin.
⚫️ We discussed a new service for launching tokens, Gas Pump, and its unique mechanism for TON Blockchain, which allows users to trade coins even before they hit the DEX.
⚫️ Mini-apps have begun actively implementing the new currency, Telegram Stars. In one post, we compiled the main information related to the launch of Stars and also personally tried purchasing an item in one of the GameFi projects.

🚀 The Easiest Way to Create Your Own Memecoin on TON
In recent months, numerous services have emerged on TON that facilitate the creation of new jettons, NFTs, or even Telegram Mini Apps. These platforms often cater to relatively serious projects, but what if you just want to have some fun and launch a meme or fan token?
⚫️ The answer was found next door — on Solana Blockchain. For over five months, the «pump fun» platform has been operating successfully, launching more than 900,000 new coins during this time. The site’s bright and chaotic visual style might deter the unprepared users, but we're more interested in the mechanics it uses to launch tokens.
⚫️ It’s quite straightforward. Any user can create a coin in a minute by filling in basic information. Immediately afterward, the token appears on the platform and trading begins as on a DEX: anyone can buy the coin, thus increasing its value and market cap. To get the coin on a DEX, it needs to reach a certain threshold. All transactions are recorded on the blockchain, but until listing, users trade wrapped tokens exclusively within the platform.
⚫️ This mechanic has been adapted for TON by the Gas Pump service. Everything happens within a convenient mini-app, where coins can be sorted by market cap and creation time, and the threshold for hitting the DEX is 1000 TON. For collaboration, the team chose the DeDust.io exchange, so if desired, the creator of a successful token can apply for an official listing. Note that if one wallet owns more than 30% of the total issuance, the coin is marked as suspicious.
⚫️ Naturally, Gas Pump has a reward program — GAS XP. Points are awarded to users for buying tokens on the platform, creating successful meme coins that gather the 1000 TON threshold, subscribing to the official Telegram channel @gasPump_TV, and inviting friends via a referral link, of course. Later, GAS XP can be exchanged for the platform's utility token.
Have you already created your memecoin in the ten days since the service launched, or are you just eyeing this new platform?
@thedailyton
💎 Three weeks of The Open League Summer Bootcamps have ended!
⚫️ This weekend marked the end of the massive offline event marathon by TON Society, which took place across 13 cities worldwide: Prague, Moscow, Hong Kong, Berlin, Belgrade, Saint Petersburg, Taipei, Seoul, Warsaw, Kyiv, Tbilisi, Gurugram, and Minsk.
⚫️ The Daily TON team managed to attend three bootcamps: Moscow, Berlin, and Kyiv, and we can confidently say that TON Foundation demonstrated a high level of event organization, attracted new developers to TON, and supercharged an already active user base.
⚫️ The marathon showcased new projects in GameFi, financial tools for traders, various aggregators, and services. In just three days, teams had to develop a project in the Telegram Mini App format and present it to the audience. The winners of the First and Second weeks are already announced, and to catch the best projects of the Third week and upcoming event announcements, we recommend subscribing to the TON Society channel.
It’s worth noting that applications for The Open League Hackathon are open until June 15th, so you still have a chance to join the global competition, even if you didn’t attend any offline events.
🏆 Missed the event? The Daily TON knows how to cheer you up! Together with the sub0.ton and Full Metal Jetton channels, we’re running two t-shirt giveaways from the Berlin bootcamp and are gearing up to launch a third giveaway for two more shirts from the Kyiv event. Stay tuned so you don’t miss out.
⚫️ The bootcamps are over, but activities in the TON ecosystem are not! The fourth season of The Open League program starts after a two-week break, this time with two new categories: DeFi and NFT. Boosts and farming will appear in pools tomorrow at 11:00 UTC. Pick your favorites and turn on the fans — the hot summer continues.

🐤 Click yourself an iPhone: What future awaits games on TON?
⚫️ You've probably noticed that the hottest topic on TON right now is GameFi. Simple games seem to be the best fit for the much-anticipated mass adoption. Moreover, it’s not so much the integration of entertainment into blockchain that attracts people, but rather the opportunity to earn by performing simple actions.
⚫️ Following the colossal success of Notcoin and the equally impressive surge in popularity of Hamster Combat, other teams have doubled down on developing mini-applications. Additionally, apart from the multifaceted support and grants from TON Foundation, other major players such as DWF Labs are gradually starting to invest in Telegram Mini Apps.
⚫️ Every day, new GameFi projects appear in Telegram Apps Center, and some of them can already boast innovative gameplay. We are confident that games on TON will become increasingly interesting over time, and their quantity will gradually evolve into quality.
⚫️ Feel free to share in the comments which TON games you've been glued to lately, and whether you are looking forward to seeing projects with complex mechanics, like Clash of Clans or Brawl Stars, appear in our ecosystem. Or did everyone just come here for the «free» tokens?

💎 Why are transactions taking so long, and will TON get a Layer 2?
As more users join TON Blockchain, the question arises more frequently — why do transactions take so long? A month ago, a broadcast featuring Anatoly Makosov, the tech lead of TON Core, aired on the TON PIZ channel (in Russian). We revisited the broadcast and are ready to explain the problem and whether it’s possible to speed up even the fastest blockchain.
⚫️ In some cases, transaction execution may take up to two minutes. The TON Core team is aware of this issue, understands the technical causes, and is preparing an update for validators on June 10th that will likely optimize the process of generating new blocks in the network.
⚫️ Additionally, there's an issue with some validators using underpowered hardware — plans are in place to introduce penalties for those who do not take their responsibilities seriously and skimp on equipment.
⚫️ Developers of TON DEXs and wallets are also currently working on visual solutions, such as progress bars and additional notifications, to help users more clearly understand the status of their transactions.
⚫️ But what about the October record for the number of transactions per second? The fact is that the main priority of TON Blockchain is its scalability, not the speed of individual transactions. The focus is primarily on network stability even with a large number of users.
🖊 Regarding Layer 2, payment networks are the solution currently under active development. This tool is aimed not only at speeding up blockchain operations but also at reducing fees for microtransactions — we eagerly await announcements in this direction.

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
⚫️ CoinMarketCap now features detailed information about all tokens and pools available on DeDust.io. The decentralized exchange is now integrated not only with DEX Screener but also with CMC.
🔥 Yesterday was an incredibly hot day for the $NOT token! The coin reached a trading volume of $10 billion, surpassing BTC and ETH in the Binance rankings, and the number of Notcoin holders exceeded 2 million users.
⚫️ SafePal hardware wallets now support TON tokens. You can learn more about this new feature and the benefits of hardware wallets in our publication.
⚫️ We've delved into how to get the $STORM token among the first, where the coin from the derivative exchange Storm Trade will be listed, and what benefits it will bring to its holders in a separate post.
⚫️ The utility token $MY from the non-custodial wallet MyTonWallet has launched! The coin performed admirably at the start, delighting everyone who took an active part in the campaign from «early». We welcome another fundamental token to the ecosystem!
⚫️ In the BroBot Contests Mini App, there is currently a campaign with a prize pool of 3 BMWs and 300 WL NFT WONNIE. The main condition for participation in the raffle is to supply liquidity to the WON/TON pool on DeDust.io.
@thedailyton
🔥 MyTonWallet Coin is now available for trading on DeDust.io!
While one utility token is just gearing up for launch, another one makes a loud entrance onto the exchange on the last day of spring! Of course, we are talking about the $MY coin from the non-custodial wallet, MyTonWallet.
⚫️ It took just two and a half months for the token to go from community voting to being listed on a trading platform. During this time, the project gained the support of a new platform for collaborations, early, and conducted two rounds of a campaign distributing the $MY token.
⚫️ You can now update your MyTonWallet app and see the total amount of coins you've earned in your account. It's important to note that the tokens will be unlocked gradually in equal parts over the next five months, starting from today at 15:30 UTC until September 28, 15:30 UTC.
⚫️ Currently, the team has distributed more than 40% of the supply among active wallet users and campaign participants, and it has done so completely free of charge — the liquidity on DEX DeDust.io was provided solely from project funds. Another 30% is planned to be distributed over the next four years by MyTonWallet.
⚫️ $MY holders will have access to premium wallet features, more favorable exchange rates, and higher staking income, so we advise you to wait for all new features to launch before deciding between selling or holding the token.
Trade MY/USDT on DeDust.io
We will continue to closely monitor the development of MyTonWallet!
@thedailyton
🏆 JVault is giving away tokens again!
⚫️ As part of a major campaign with a prize pool of $100,000, the staking platform JVault has decided to reward the first 20,000 users who complete basic tasks in the JVault Bot mini-app. Additional rewards in $SCALE, $BOLT, and $WEB3 tokens can be claimed immediately after earning 5 points.
⚫️ But it's worth fighting for the top spots on the leaderboard as well. Let us remind you that the largest rewards (85% of the prize pool) are guaranteed to the top 200 participants, and among all other users, 500 will be randomly selected to share the remaining 15%.
>> The campaign ends on June 5, you can catch the last train here.
@thedailyton
🪙 How to connect audiences, businesses, and cryptocurrency payments?
⚫️ Back in late 2022, TON Foundation announced the integration of TON with the popular payment system Cryptomus. At that time, such an event was inspiring — TON Connect was not yet so widely spread across the network, and every new partnership was perceived as a step towards mass adoption.
⚫️ Now, after the colossal growth of the audience, TON faces a new challenge — to unify everything and shift users from clickers to the sphere of purchasing goods with crypto. Cryptomus is precisely the platform that allows purchasing cryptocurrency with fiat money and integrating crypto payments into your product.
⚫️ Currently, every 86th transaction in the Litecoin network and every 115th transaction for USDT (TRC-20) is conducted through Cryptomus. Besides payment tools, the service also offers its wallet — Cryptomus Wallet, a P2P exchange, and a Blockchain Explorer where you can track transactions of interest.
⚫️ You can register on Cryptomus using a non-custodial Tonkeeper wallet, an email address, a phone number, or a social media page. Next, you need to set up a merchant account and integrate Cryptomus into your service using API, SDK tools, or special plugins — now you're ready to receive cryptocurrency payments from your customers.
🖊 For prompt support and to connect with other users of the service, you can join the official Cryptomus chat. The team has big plans ahead, so we look forward to new functionalities related to TON.
@thedailyton
⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
⚫️ In a separate post, we delved into the changes in Telegram advertising and why recently, channels discussing cryptocurrency have seen a significant decrease in monetization volumes.
⚫️ RocketMan, founder and CEO of the @xRocket exchange, launched his own Telegram channel. Today, the first part of the history of xRocket was published there — a subscription is highly recommended for those who appreciate unique information about TON.
⚫️ We discussed the current trend on The Open Network — platforms for rapid memecoin launches, explored the latest achievements of Gas Pump, and introduced two similar projects: Wonton fun and TonPump app.
🔥 The popular decentralized exchange DeDust.io announced a reduction in swap fees and optimization of protocol smart-contracts. You can find all the details in our publication.
⚫️ Sense, together with the Community bot, successfully minted the U.S.R.L. Seeds Collectibles collection, which we discussed in a recent post about NFT. The items sold out in just five minutes, and currently, the floor on Getgems is holding at 8 TON.
@thedailyton
📒 Where is all the action happening on TON right now?
⚫️ One of the few places in the ecosystem where life is still bustling despite the summer heat is the platforms for quick memecoin creation. You can read more about the unique token launch mechanism that has migrated to us from Solana Blockchain here.
⚫️ Just a month after starting, the Gas Pump team has posted an impressive list of achievements on their page: $1M in daily trading volume, over 10,000 tokens created on the platform, and the first 100 meme coins listed on DEX.
⚫️ This promising area has attracted other players too. In the last couple of weeks, two more projects have entered the game:
— Wonton.fun — a service that appeared out of nowhere but has already shown good results. Notably, the tokens on the platform mainly have tickers written in Cyrillic, which, however, does not prevent them from gaining popularity and amassing impressive capitalization.
— TonPump.app — a promising mini-app with a pleasing design, whose authors plan a large number of collaborations and contests to boost user activity.
⚫️ Interestingly, we haven’t noticed much hype around these platforms among TON influencers, but this hasn’t stopped them from setting new trading volume records daily. It seems these services are actively attracting audiences from other blockchains, which definitely benefits the entire TON ecosystem.
@thedailyton
⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
⚫️ The BroBot Contests campaign by the lending protocol EVAA and the liquid staking platform bemo is drawing to a close. A prize pool of 6,500,000 $stXP and 1,500,000 EVAA XP will be drawn among the participants on July 3rd — don't miss your chance to jump on board at the last minute.
⚫️ The Play-2-Earn game Gatto has announced a strategic partnership with DWF Labs. This collaboration will accelerate the project's entry into the Asian market and facilitate the smooth launch of the $GTON token.
⚫️ The fourth season of The Open League has concluded, receiving mixed reviews from participants, users, and TON influencers. TON Foundation is now holding a vote until July 3rd on whether to extend the fifth season from two to four weeks.
⚫️ We've published a reflection post sharing our impressions of the growing popularity of TON Blockchain, discussing how new projects used to enter the ecosystem and how this process occurs now.
🔥 Telegram has released an update that added compact panels for minimizing Mini Apps, enhanced features for the «Stories» section, and the ability to post paid (via Telegram Stars) photos and videos.
@thedailyton
🐤 It has been revealed who DWF Labs has partnered with
⚫️ Recently, we analyzed the latest trends in GameFi on TON and tried to anticipate the future of this sector. In our publication, we mentioned the Web3 market maker and investment platform DWF Labs, which announced its search for GameFi/SocialFi projects within the TON ecosystem for potential collaboration and financial support.
⚫️ Today, news broke that DWF Labs has become the strategic partner of the P2E game Gatto, a project we've frequently covered before. The Gatto team expects that DWF Labs will help them reach the Asian audience and support the launch of the utility token $GTON, scheduled for the near future.
⚫️ We've covered Gatto in detail back in February. Over the past months, the game has seen a myriad of events, campaigns, and even a collaboration with DeDust.io, making it no surprise that it secured support from a major player like DWF Labs. It seems the trend is indeed shifting towards well-thought-out games with engaging gameplay, though it's still early to say for certain.
We're eagerly awaiting new investments and will keep an eye on the development of GameFi on TON!
@thedailyton
💀 How are NFTs doing in the TON ecosystem?
⚫️ Many may have noticed that NFTs on TON are currently not experiencing their best times, though once they were the main trend of the ecosystem. Users are no longer dazzled by beautiful images or interesting backstories — trading volumes are mostly maintained by those collections that provide utility to their owners.
⚫️ TON Foundation decided to address this situation by adding an NFT Battle category to the latest season of The Open League. As a result, 22 collections are competing against each other, with the sole metric on the leaderboard being trading volume.
⚫️ Currently, the top three projects are: TON Frogs (an old collection that has found a second wind after a recent Fairlaunch of the $CAVI token), Market Makers (NFTs from Storm Trade, which will allow owners to acquire the $STORM token), and NOT Punks (a collection that combines popular on TON pixel punks with Notcoin).
⚫️ What about NFTs that are just preparing to launch? After a long break, a second collection — U.S.R.L. Seeds Collectibles — is coming out on the Sense platform. To get an NFT for just 1 TON, you need to complete a campaign in the Community bot by June 27 and closely follow the news on the launch day. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to get acquainted with the world of NFTs and to claim a piece by an artist who has previously collaborated with Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Young Thug.
What do you think, who will win the battle for user attention: NFTs or memecoins?
@thedailyton
✔️ What can participants in TON Accelerator boast about? (50k TON giveaway)
At the end of May, TON Foundation introduced the projects participating in TON Accelerator — an intensive training and stimulation program for teams wanting to start their journey in the Web3 sphere. Out of 170 applications, only 11 projects were selected, one of which was the gaming platform Maincard.
⚫️ What's the project about? Each user has cards with different characteristics, levels, and amounts of lives. They can be upgraded by making accurate predictions, and then sold at an internal auction for TON or $MCN — the platform's utility token. Maincard offers two modes: battles — for solo play, and tournaments — for competing with other players.
⚫️ The platform includes plenty of sports disciplines: competitions in football, basketball, tennis, hockey, MMA, and even cricket are available for predictions. As for esports, Maincard features major events in Dota 2, CS 2, LoL, and Valorant. New users receive two game cards upon registration and can immediately try out the platform's features without risk or investment.
⚫️ How is the project connected to TON? Besides having a handy mini-app @maincardton_bot (a base for products on TON) that duplicates the website's functionality, Maincard has its own token — $MCN. It can be earned in tournaments or by selling cards at the auction, and the coin will be listed in the coming months on the DeDust.io exchange.
⚫️ Right now, Maincard is conducting the Summer Sprint quest series with a prize pool of 50,000 TON. Two social media tasks are already available for completion, but the developers promise even more interesting activities ahead. By the way, you can discuss the latest project news in the official chat @maincardOfficial.
We welcome new players to the ecosystem and wish the project success!
@thedailyton
✈️ Telegram Mini Apps now accept payments in Stars
💡 Since June 12th, there has been increasing news that various Mini Apps now allow purchases with Telegram Stars. A reminder: Stars is the internal currency recently introduced in Telegram to comply with Apple and Google's requirements for digital service payments.
⚫️ Currently, Telegram doesn't have a separate menu for buying Stars, but you can already purchase the currency by visiting one of the popular Mini Apps where payments were previously made in TON, and try buying some items.
⚫️ For instance, we chose the P2E game Gatto: we launch the app, go to the store, and see the prices in Stars. We confirm the purchase and are redirected to a window with our personal balance, where we can buy sets of 50 to 2500 stars with national currency.
⚫️ It was announced that Stars could be exchanged for TON on the Fragment platform, where anonymous numbers, usernames, and Telegram Premium are sold. Currently, there's no section for selling Stars on the site, but we hope that soon it will be possible not only to withdraw Stars but also to purchase them for TON. For regular users, the menu for buying Stars should appear next to the Telegram Premium tab, as well as in the @PremiumBot.
⚫️ On one hand, dedicated TON users might negatively receive this new feature since most Mini Apps previously accepted payment in Toncoin. On the other, it's generally more convenient for ordinary people to buy Stars with a credit card in just a few clicks, rather than dealing with TON wallets and P2P. Either way, the innovation carries both pros and cons in terms of mass adoption. What are your thoughts on this?

🪙 The Open League Season 4: NFT, DeFi, and $1 Million in TON
⚫️ Today marks the launch of the fourth season of The Open League — an incentive program that further energizes active users in the ecosystem and sees crypto projects compete against each other in the leaderboard.
⚫️ The season will last for two weeks, ending on June 26th at 11:00 UTC. For easy navigation through the reward pools, you can use @Open_League_Bot as before. This season features competition among thirteen tokens, including:
— $KINGY Pool: KINGY/TON APR: 250% Token channel: @investkingyru_en
— $JVT Pool: JVT/TON APR: 500% Token channel: @JVault
— $HYDRA Pool: HYDRA/TON APR: 600% Token community: @Ton_HYDRAcoin
— $BOLT Pool: BOLT/TON APR: 380% Token channel: … it's easier to choose from the list yourself
⚫️ Additionally, an NFT category has been added this season. There are no tables with participants and metrics on the official website yet, so we haven’t figured out exactly how the NFT projects will compete. If you know more, feel free to share under this post.
⚫️ It's worth noting that The Open League has significantly changed from its original concept in November. From an interesting social mechanic with SBT, farming XP points, and profiles in TON Society, it has predominantly turned into a boost giveaway in liquidity pools. Whether this is good or bad is up for discussion in the comments.
@thedailyton
⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
⚫️ The channel sub0.ton, in collaboration with Full Metal Jetton and The Daily TON, is hosting a giveaway of official TON merch from the Berlin Bootcamp. On X, two t-shirts are being given away for a retweet and tagging two friends, while on Telegram, creative merch ideas for one of the channels can win you a shirt.
🔥 Just last Tuesday, we released a detailed post about the boosts from TON Foundation in the TON/USDT pair on DeDust.io, only to see another, the biggest boost yet of 1,420,000 TON, added yesterday. Consequently, the APR in the pool jumped to 182% (now at 141%), and liquidity reached the $150M mark.
⚫️ After listening to a broadcast with Anatoliy Makosov, the tech lead of TON Core, we tried to understand why TON transactions have been slow lately and what the status of Layer 2 development is. By the way, the promised node update was released today — let us know if you've noticed an increase in speed?
⚫️ This Friday, June 7, the centralized Telegram exchange @xRocket listed the $XROCK token. On launch day, the platform experienced a massive influx of users depositing $USDT to buy the token early. We're keeping an eye on the price and await $XROCK's debut on DEX.
⚫️ We've analyzed the latest trends in GameFi on TON and asked our readers which games they play during trading breaks and which projects they would like to see in the ecosystem in the future — developers, we recommend checking the comments under the post.

🚀 $XROCK listing tomorrow
⚫️ The $XROCK token will launch on the centralized exchange @xRocket on June 7th. Trading and other operations with the token will be available starting at 11:00 UTC, but withdrawals will not be possible until the listing on decentralized exchanges.
⚫️ The token price during the IEO was $0.02. With a total supply of 500 million $XROCK, the market capitalization at launch will be $10 million.
⚫️ As a reminder, @xRocket is a popular custodial wallet and centralized exchange available as a Telegram bot. According to our data, the exchange's monthly audience exceeds 140,000 people, and more than 800,000 people use the bot each month.

🚀 How TON Foundation boosts the ecosystem
⚫️ On Sunday, a substantial boost of 700,000 TON was introduced for liquidity providers in the TON/USDT pair on DeDust.io. Many users immediately started to invest their funds into the pool, especially since, together with previous boosts, the total reward volume reached 1,580,000 TON — impressively large, right?
⚫️ Today, TON Foundation decided to go even bigger, adding a new boost of a whopping one million TON to the pool. Thus, the reward size reached 2,580,000 TON or $18M, and the daily distribution increased to 48,885 TON, maintaining the pool’s yield at 162% APR even with a total liquidity of $77M.
⚫️ In the TON ecosystem, users are accustomed to securing their earnings in TON or USDT, so it’s common to find a significant amount of these two tokens idling in wallets. Thus, putting them into a pool with such a high annual percentage rate seems like an attractive idea.
⚫️ While the TON rate is currently relatively stable, it's important not to overlook impermanent losses — funds that you might earn less on or even lose if the token’s price changes significantly. For those wary of such losses, $SCALE staking with an APR of 25.5% is always available on DeDust.io.
💡 It’s encouraging to see TON Foundation consistently investing in key ecosystem tools, incentivizing liquidity providers on DEX in such an important pair as TON/USDT. We look forward to seeing 1M USDT on TON Blockchain by November and the complete transition from the wrapped jUSDT.

⭐️ There's never been anything like this on TON: A raffle of 3 BMWs by the Wonnie project
⚫️ The raffle Mini App BroBot Contests has launched a spectacular campaign from the meme token $WON team, inspired by the old depressive meme about Wonnie the bear and his eternal struggle with despair.
⚫️ The prize pool includes 3 real BMWs and 300 WONNIE WL NFTs. In addition to the daily captcha system, ticket mining has been introduced: now tickets can also be earned by completing tasks, and to participate in each of the three giveaways, you need to collect 12, 20, and 20 tickets respectively.
⚫️ There are four levels of tasks: three for regular users and one for influencers. The first two levels are simple – just subscribe to social media and invite a friend. However, the third level requires you to provide liquidity in the WON/TON pool on DeDust.io. For every 1500 LP (approximately $45), you will receive tickets daily. The larger your share in the pool, the higher your chances of winning.
BroBot warns that some tasks may not be credited immediately; waiting can take up to 24 hours.
⚫️ The results of the raffle will be published on the official Telegram channel of the project on June 11, June 21, and July 1 at 15:00 UTC — one day for each car. After each of these dates, the accumulated tickets will burn, and you will need to mine them again.
Head over to the bot if you want to explore all the details and join the campaign.
⚫️ What do you think about such raffles? Can these prizes attract new users to TON ecosystem, and will you be participating yourself?

🚀 Waiting for $STORM token launch
⚫️ In recent months, TON users have grown accustomed to tokens that enter the ecosystem with loud marketing campaigns but carry no tangible utility, only promising innovative products in the future.
⚫️ The more such coins appear, the less appealing it becomes to delve into them or even to invest. It’s a different story with tokens from the «old timers» of TON, one of which is the derivative exchange Storm Trade. The launch of $STORM is just around the corner, with more official information about the jetton being released daily, making it the perfect time to dig in.
⚫️ Let’s talk about the most important thing right away: those who own Market Makers NFTs (floor on Getgems is 200 TON) will have the chance to buy the token first at a fixed minimum price. The more NFTs you hold, the more tokens you can purchase. We have covered Market Makers themselves in great detail here.
⚫️ Besides purchasing on the marketplace, you can obtain an NFT through the Storm Trade Bot — 150 units will be randomly distributed among those who meet a couple of simple conditions in the bot, and another 50 will go to participants with the highest number of referrals. With only one day left until the end of the campaign, we recommend crossing your fingers and hoping for luck.
⚫️ Everyone else will have to buy the token at listing. The scale here is expected to be comparable to Notcoin — $STORM will debut on at least two platforms: Tonstarter (native TON launchpad), and Magic Square (a major project backed by Binance Labs).
💡 Moreover, $STORM will be the first token to launch on Magic Square Launchpad, surely attracting community attention (the hype will be further fueled by an airdrop of 0.5% of the supply). And it won’t be without utility — 30% of Storm Trade's platform fees will be distributed among $STORM stakers, which will definitely impact its price.
For more information about the token, you can visit the dedicated section on the website.

🪙 TON tokens are now available in SafePal hardware wallets
⚫️ Long-time readers of our channel may remember how, in various promotions, we have given away SafePal S1 hardware wallets — devices for the most secure storage of your crypto assets. Now, using a «cold wallet» has become even more convenient as developers have added support for TON tokens.
⚫️ It's important to note that supporting jettons is just the first step towards integrating The Open Network into SafePal. The wallets still do not recognize TON NFTs, do not interact with services through TON Connect, and do not yet load the price of the tokens themselves. We are waiting for more opportunities to open up for TON users.
⚫️ We have written about the advantages of using a hardware wallet in a post about different ways to store cryptocurrency — we recommend checking it out and choosing the best one for you.
Remember, no matter how secure your storage method is, always take care of your seed phrase, never enter it on third-party sites, and do not connect wallets to dubious services.
