✈️ Are NFT stickers coming to Telegram soon?
⚫️ Today, the @dogshouse_bot, thanks to which millions of users received their first $DOGS tokens, launched a Winter Adventure calendar. The campaign is a bit like the Streak System in Telegram Apps Center, you can win valuable prizes for participation, and it will run for 28 days.
⚫️ It seems the creators are warming up the audience for something significant. Judging by recent updates, this event could be the long-awaited release of NFT stickers. A December 1 post stated that their development is in the final stage, and preview videos of the upcoming marketplace, Stickers, have started appearing in various channels.
⚫️ Back on April 19, during the TOKEN2049 conference, Pavel Durov announced the launch of NFT stickers and emojis for Telegram on TON Blockchain, designed to let artists earn 95% of the revenue from their creations.
⚫️ While the introduction of Stars delayed Telegram’s deeper integration with TON, the arrival of paid gifts in October could be seen as a testing phase for NFT stickers. Notably, Pavel Durov promised in his post that users would be able to convert limited-edition gifts into NFTs on TON by the end of the year. Do you think they'll meet the deadline?
🖊 Will the Dogs Mini App become the main marketplace for paid stickers, or will it be a separate Mini App/menu within Telegram, similar to the current Stars gift shop? Share your thoughts in the comments.

🔥 Pavel Durov did not attend TON Meetup in Paris!
⚫️ The The Daily TON team was on-site at yesterday's offline event in France, but unfortunately, this time, the founder of Telegram didn’t make an appearance to meet with TON enthusiasts. It seems the biggest surprise of the meetup, titled «Full of Surprises!», didn’t happen after all.
⚫️ Let's recall that back in October, Pavel Durov attended Paris TON Bootcamp to show his support for the ecosystem and share his ideas about Mini App development. With that in mind, we traveled to Paris, prepared a post in advance, and waited all day. But he didn’t show up.
⚫️ An active community is a cornerstone of TON Blockchain, and it seems that by skipping the meetup, Pavel Durov wants to encourage us to be bolder and more independent. We hear you, Pavel!

🚀 Expanding eastward: TF announces the creation of an organization in Abu Dhabi
⚫️ Today, TON Foundation announced the establishment of a new organization in Abu Dhabi: TON DLT Foundation. This entity will serve as a hub for expanding TON across the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) and APAC (Asia-Pacific) regions.
⚫️ The new organization is set up under the ADGM framework, a Web3-friendly environment created by the UAE authorities to foster the growth of blockchain projects.
⚫️ With blockchain and digital assets increasingly discussed at the governmental level, the creation of TON DLT Foundation marks a step toward greater transparency and legitimacy. We wish the new organization success and hope TON leads the charge in the «blockchainization» of the global economy.

⭐️ More money for meme founders: Game-changing mechanics from DeDust.io and GasPump
⚫️ Some channels throw around the word «game-changer» carelessly, using it to describe updates that don’t actually bring anything new or change the established rules of an ecosystem. That’s not us.
>> Now memecoin creators on GasPump will earn 70% of trading fees from locked liquidity when their token launches on DeDust.io.
⚫️ One of the key elements of creating a token on a memepads is locking liquidity by sending LP tokens to a zero address. Since most trading fees on decentralized exchanges are funneled back into the liquidity pool, they also remain permanently locked.
⚫️ This system creates little incentive to boost trading volumes, as the token founder doesn’t profit from the locked liquidity. To address this issue, the developers of DeDust.io, in collaboration with GasPump, introduced a new mechanics that allows meme token creators to earn more without orchestrating a rug pull.
⚫️ With this innovation, liquidity is now locked in a special contract that allows the founder to receive trading fees. The higher the trading volume in the pool, the more the memecoin team earns.
💡 This isn’t GasPump’s first experiment — they recently launched audio tokens, which added excitement to the trading space but didn’t quite become a revolution. That’s often the case with truly innovative mechanics: creating something successful requires releasing a dozen bold ideas first.

🍌 Beware of impersonators: What types of scams are found in TON
⚫️ Recently, stories of users falling victim to scammers have been circulating more frequently on TON. These situations can happen to anyone, but to help reduce their occurrence, we’ve compiled a list of the most common types of crypto scams you might encounter:
⚫️ Phishing sites pretending to be well-known projects. You might get added to a chat titled «Click to claim your Notcoin airdrop,» receive a message like «You’ve been gifted Telegram Premium, activate now,» or «I want to buy an asset you own on Fragment» (with a link to a fake Fragment site). These scams rely on your trust in a familiar brand. What to do: always ask yourself, «Am I really on the official site?» before taking any action, and carefully review the conditions of any transaction before confirming it.
⚫️ Impersonation in private messages (another form of phishing). You post a question in a project’s chat, and suddenly, you get a direct message from «the admin» or «support.» Often, the scammer uses the name and profile picture of a well-known TON ecosystem participant... but with one character altered in the username. What to do: don’t trust unsolicited messages from strangers. If the message seems important, verify the sender’s identity and username carefully.
⚫️ Rug pull. Anyone can create a token on TON, so after you buy a «promising token with big development plans,» the founder might disappear with your money («pulling the rug»), abandoning the project entirely. What to do: to minimize risks, check how long the token has been around, the reputation of its creators, whether token minting rights have been revoked, and whether their share of tokens is locked for a significant period. If these safeguards are in place, the founders are financially incentivized to make the token successful in the long term. Learn more here.
⚫️ Honeypots. This is another token-based scam but more technical. A token is created that users can buy but cannot sell. What to do: stick to well-known platforms like DeDust.io, where honeypots don’t make it into the main trading list. While you can still encounter honeypots, the platform will warn you if the token isn’t on the whitelist and remind you that purchasing it is at your own risk.
⚫️ «Free money.» Finding a seed phrase for an unknown wallet can be tempting — you might want to access it and withdraw everything. However, the wallet may contain tokens that require you to first send some TON to cover fees. Once you deposit Toncoin, it’ll disappear instantly. What to do: avoid chasing after «free money» — they’re often traps.
🖊 Of course, these scams aren’t the only ones out there. Share in the comments: What types of frauds have you encountered?

📈 Leverage farming and earning points for the New Year Airdrop
⚫️ The New Year season of The Open League is a great opportunity to explore new DeFi protocols in the TON ecosystem. One of the TVL Squad participants, Farmix, awards 10 points for every $20 staked in its pools. You can use your TON, NOT, and USDt (with liquid staking tokens coming soon).
⚫️ Farmix, a margin farming protocol and a semi-finalist of the summer The Open League Hackathon, enables users to boost pool returns with leverage. Currently, you can stake funds to provide liquidity for loans or open farming positions with leverage ranging from x1 to x3.
⚫️ Important! If you decide to use leverage, exercise caution — your position may be liquidated. To avoid this, carefully choose pools (based on which tokens you believe will increase in value), and monitor the health factor (the closer it is to 1, the higher the risk of liquidation). Beginners are advised to start with x1 leverage.
⚫️ A few days ago, Farmix announced a rewards program. For every 30 USDt in staking, users earn 1 RP (Reward Point) per week, while for every 30 USDt in an open farming position, they earn 1 RP every 4 hours. Early users get a special bonus of +30% RP for the period from October 25 until the official program launch.
🏆 Additionally, Farmix has launched its own campaign in BroBot Contests. By completing tasks, users can not only claim a unique SBT but also enter a raffle for 1,500 USDt — with $10 each for 150 winners. The event runs until December 27, 15:00 UTC.

🐤 Streak System in Telegram Apps Center: What's new?
⚫️ It’s been two weeks since the launch of daily tasks in the Apps Center Mini Apps catalog. During this time, over 31K users have upgraded their Moai statue to the gold level, but even more have fallen off the streak marathon, sliding back to bronze.
⚫️ To support such participants, developers have introduced a new feature: you can now purchase an artifact for 50 points to preserve your streak if you miss a day. Points can be earned by completing tasks and inviting friends. We anticipate that other boosts might appear in the Pocket section in the future, such as options to increase your streak by one or several points.
⚫️ A quick reminder: the campaign runs until December 26, after which the Grand Lottery will take place, selecting 155 winners across four categories. The total prize pool is 10,000 TON.
>> Participate the giveaway
Share in the comments your current streak and how many points you’ve managed to collect.

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week. Part 1
🔥 Toncoin is on the rise again — on Sunday, token reached a peak of $6.96. Currently, coin’s price is hovering around $6.55.
⚫️ The ecosystem is buzzing with debate over the introduction of KYC on Fragment, the platform for purchasing Telegram Premium and Stars. We’ve taken a closer look at how this verification process might affect the functionality of anonymous numbers.
⚫️ Airdrops from clicker games are shrinking, leaving players increasingly disappointed and vocal about their dissatisfaction. We explored the reasons behind this trend in a dedicated post analyzing changes in how projects approach reward distributions.
⚫️ The $MAJOR token from the Major Mini App has officially launched. The token’s listing has sparked significant excitement, largely thanks to mentions of the project on Pavel Durov’s channel. The price of $MAJOR at the time of writing is $1.10.
@thedailyton
🏆 Even more Black Friday deals: 30% cashback on losses with Whale
⚫️ Black Friday deals have made their way to Whale, the popular gaming platform on TON. For the next four days, a cashback promotion will be active for games in the «Slots» category.
⚫️ If luck isn’t on your side, you can receive 30% cashback on your losses from the previous day. For example, cashback for games played on Friday will be available on Saturday. It will appear in the notifications section and remain claimable for 24 hours, so don’t delay.
⚫️ Additionally, Sportsbetting and Live Casino bets are also included in the promotion, but the cashback rate there is lower — 10%.
⚫️ The promotion at Whale runs until December 2.
@thedailyton
✔️ Black Friday сomes to TON: Three days of deals in Tonkeeper
In the crypto world, terms like «discounts» and «sales» are often used ironically when token prices drop. But this Black Friday is an exception — Tonkeeper, in collaboration with other popular ecosystem projects, is launching a series of giveaways, discounts, and cashback offers.
Here’s what’s on the table:
⚫️ Tonkeeper Pro subscription at 80% off, 30% discount on eSim Mobile services, and 50% on Ton VPN.
⚫️ A raffle of 100 Tonkeeper Battery top-ups for anyone staking at least 5 TON in Tonstakers.
⚫️ A cash prizes giveaway for those purchasing NFTs worth at least 1 TON on GetGems.
⚫️ 7,000,000 EVAA XP for 1,000 EVAA Protocol users with the largest deposits.
Read more about each promotion via the link. Special offers are available from November 29 to December 1. Download Tonkeeper and head to the built-in browser — all participating projects are accessible there.

@thedailyton
📈 Do you even know what's happening with $MAJOR?
⚫️ At first glance, it seems like just another Mini App launching its token, one that most users will sell off and forget about by tomorrow. But not this time!
⚫️ Pavel Durov dedicated an entire post to Major and its founder on his channel, top TON influencers are turning the sale of their tokens on OTC at $0.9 into a show, and everyone else is closely watching the pre-market price of $MAJOR (currently $1.33).
⚫️ The last TON ecosystem token Durov mentioned was $NOT, back when clicker games were gaining popularity and needed support to establish the trend. Now, it seems the Telegram CEO wants to show that Mini Apps can not only attract users but also generate substantial revenue.
⚫️ The listing is happening today at 12:00 UTC on centralized exchanges OKX, ByBit, BitGet, MEXC, KuCoin, and Gate. Meanwhile, a MAJOR/USDT pool with a delayed launch mechanic has already been created on DeDust.io, boosted with 13,930 $DUST for liquidity providers.
Feeling a special buzz in the ecosystem ahead of the listing? And what do you think the final price of $MAJOR will be?
@thedailyton
📒 No more big earnings: Why are airdrops increasingly disappointing?
⚫️ While everyone keeps a close eye on Bitcoin’s price and trades memecoins, the TON ecosystem continues to see the launch of tokens from clicker games. Massive distributions from Notcoin and Hamster Combat sparked huge interest, but with every new airdrop, the number of satisfied users seems to dwindle.
⚫️ Apps are trying to avoid repeating their competitors’ mistakes by coming up with new reward criteria, but not all succeed. For instance, many users were unhappy with the recent MemeFi airdrop, and right now, players are actively criticizing Major’s airdrop (its token is set to list on November 28). X (Twitter) has become the main platform for venting frustrations.
⚫️ Airdrop unfairness complaints often come from users in Nigeria, and it’s no surprise. According to the ad platform AdsGram, Nigerians lead in player numbers, making up 14.4% of the total audience. Many of them spend hours playing clicker games in search of earnings without investments, only to be justifiably upset with the meager rewards.
⚫️ However, the reality is that projects simply cannot satisfy every user from their multimillion-strong audience. Since the Catizen, clickers have gradually adopted a new rule: the more you spend, the more you earn.
⚫️ Over time, this principle became more transparent, and now there are several games where playing without investment is almost pointless, for example Terminal and Memhash. As a result, some Mini Apps remained traffic trading platforms, while others turned into pre-sale token venues with interactive mechanics.
⚫️ The rise of clicker games brought a new audience to the ecosystem — large in numbers but low in purchasing power. This raises a key question: can TON Foundation onboard Web3 users who are accustomed to receiving rather than spending? Steps are being taken in this direction, such as the announcement of the TON wallet for feature phones at The Gateway. Whether these efforts will bear fruit, we’ll see very soon.

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
🔥 Thanks the listing on the South Korean exchange Bithumb and the announcement of TON entering the US market, Toncoin’s price has returned to its summer level of $6.3 per token. Currently, it stands at $6.1.
⚫️ Telegram released a major update called Mini Apps 2.0, introducing several useful features for users and unlocking numerous opportunities for TMA developers.
⚫️ On November 19, the decentralized exchange DeDust.io marked its second anniversary! In a dedicated post, we look back at the key moments from the past year.

⚫️ Taking a trip down memory lane, we revisited the journey of the xRocket bot — from the moment the project was created to reaching the impressive milestone of one million active users.
⚫️ Telegram Apps Center launched a campaign with a prize pool of 10,000 TON. To participate, users need to explore the catalog daily, discover new Mini Apps, and level up their Moai statue.
⚫️ The non-custodial wallet MyTonWallet released update 3.1, simplifying access to connected apps, adding an auto-lock feature, and introducing several other useful functionalities.
⚫️ Using the recently launched TONCO exchange as an example, we break down the concept of concentrated liquidity: what it is, why it matters, and the benefits it offers to users and liquidity providers.

✔️ MyTonWallet gets even more convenient: What’s new in update 3.1?
The popular TON wallet has introduced a range of new features that might not seem groundbreaking individually but collectively form one of the project’s most significant updates yet. Most of these changes focus on enhancing the user experience. Here’s what’s new:
⚫️ Manage connected apps through the revamped Explore section, and search through saved addresses easier.
⚫️ Fast gasless transactions for W5 wallets. The function is activated automatically if your account has less than 0.3 TON.
⚫️ The app now has auto-lock feature, that enables after periods of inactivity, and allows you to set up different password options.
⚫️ With the Anti-Poisoning feature, the wallet now detects and flags suspicious transactions, tagging them as «Scam.»
⚫️ Integrated links to the Tonscan analytics service allow users to quickly find detailed information about wallet addresses.
⚫️ Ledger hardware wallet support is now available in the mobile app (previously only in the browser and desktop versions).
🖊 To try out these updates, make sure to download the latest version of MyTonWallet. Let us know in the comments which new feature you find most useful and what you feel is still missing — who knows, the developers might implement it in the next update.
@thedailyton
⭐️ How to earn new tokens by holding TON, NOT, and DOGS in your wallet?
⚫️ The Open Builders team has officially launched a Mini App featuring launchpools similar to those on major centralized exchanges like Binance, OKX, and ByBit. The key difference? You don’t need to deposit tokens into a pool — simply hold them in your wallet.
⚫️ Right now, the distribution of $BUILD, the utility token for Community Bot, is live. To participate, connect your TON wallet to the Earn app and choose one or more pools from the list. Each pool has the following criteria:
1. Hold $TON in your wallet.
2. Hold $NOT in your wallet.
3. Hold $DOGS in your wallet.
4. Have Gold or Platinum League status in Notcoin.
5. Stake your $NOT in the Notcoin bot.
⚫️ TON users learned about this new Mini App yesterday, but it was running in test mode at the time. Earlier today, all participants had their $BUILD and referral counters reset, and now the pools have been relaunched.
⚫️ Important detail: Tokens in liquidity pools or staking platforms will not be counted.

🐤 The long-awaited launch of $GTON token by Gatto
⚫️ Today at 12:00 UTC, the $GTON token will be listed on the centralized exchange MEXC, with plans to roll it out on additional trading platforms in the first quarter of 2025.
⚫️ We’ve written about Gatto multiple times on our channel as an example of a long-term GameFi project on TON Blockchain with numerous gaming mechanics. The team consistently delivers updates and collaborates with other projects, and now Gatto is launching its own token, opening up even more opportunities to reward active players.
⚫️ The $GTON airdrop through the Community Bot campaign is divided into five stages (it turns out to be a kind of vesting). Here you can check the dates of each distribution phase, confirm if your wallet is eligible, and see the final reward amount. Token claiming is done via the TokenTable platform. The first stage has already begun.
⚫️ By the way, $GTON is one of the tokens we mentioned in our listing calendar. Take a look at the link to see how many projects from the list have successfully launched their tokens.

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week
🔥 We’ve launched a new series, «Personal Experience,» where we explore TON ecosystem projects hands-on and share our impressions with our readers. In the first episode, we tested Signer by Tonkeeper.
⚫️ The 10,000 TON giveaway from the Telegram Apps Center catalog is still ongoing! In our recent post, we dive into the new Pocket section and think about what other bonuses developers might add.
⚫️ We covered the new DeFi protocol Farmix, which allows users to farm higher rewards in liquidity pools using leverage. Read more in our detailed review.
⚫️ The New Year season of The Open League features three projects with decentralized stablecoins, so we decided to figure out why such assets are needed at all and how they’re backed.
⚫️ With scams on TON becoming more frequent, we’ve compiled a list of the most common schemes. How these scams work and what you can do to avoid falling victim — learn in our guide.
⚫️ Meet the semi-finalists of the Hackers League Hackathon! Next week, we’ll find out the winners in five nominations, sharing a total prize pool of $3.5M.
@thedailyton
🚀 The list of Hackers League Hackathon semifinalists is out!
⚫️ In pursuit of the New Year Airdrop, it’s easy to overlook the winter TON hackathon with a total prize pool of $3.5 million — where the ecosystem’s most cutting-edge projects are born. Today, the blog.ton.org website published the list of 157 teams that made it to the semifinals. You can find your favorites via the link.
⚫️ The competition is proceeding as scheduled: semifinalists were selected between November 23 and December 5, and the winners of the Hackers League Hackathon will be announced during a live broadcast on December 20. At The Daily TON, we visited several fall bootcamps, witnessed the event’s growing scale, and are eagerly awaiting the results.
⚫️ Take a closer look at the projects — just a few months from now, you might be using one of them to swap tokens, boost yields, or farm points in the next season of The Open League (if there are still participants left after all the rule changes).
@thedailyton
📒 Decentralized stablecoins on TON: Why are they needed?
⚫️ The new stablecoins participating in The Open League stand out from the familiar USDt with their «decentralized over-collateralized» approach. Let’s break down what sets them apart and their pros and cons.
⚫️ Stablecoin prices are typically maintained by collateralized assets. For instance, a company might deposit an equivalent amount of dollars in a bank, issue stablecoins equal to that amount, and back each token with a reserved dollar.
⚫️ This method of storing reserves in banks is used by major stablecoins like USDt. However, it comes with risks: you must trust a third party. What if the token issuer absconds with the reserves? Or if the reserves are seized by a government? Or if the bank goes bankrupt?
⚫️ Decentralized stablecoins, on the other hand, are backed by other cryptocurrencies. This eliminates the need for banks, and everything happens on the blockchain, reducing the potential for abuse and external control. However, it introduces another challenge: how to stabilize the price of a stablecoin without fiat dollars but with volatile cryptocurrencies whose values constantly fluctuate?
⚫️ This is addressed with the «over-collateralized stablecoin» model, where the collateral exceeds the value of the issued tokens. For example, if you lock $100 worth of Toncoin as collateral but mint only $50 worth of stablecoins, the collateral remains sufficient even if Toncoin’s price drops by 40%.
⚫️ Current season of The Open League features three decentralized stablecoin projects: Aqua Protocol, Delea Finance, and TonStable. All three allow users to mint stablecoins by first over-collateralizing them with pledged assets. Later, you can return the stablecoin to the protocol and reclaim your collateral. However, it’s important to note that if the collateral’s value drops too much, creating a risk of insufficient backing, liquidation may occur.
🖊 Collateral options include liquid staking tokens such as tsTON and stTON, and in Aqua Protocol’s case, other assets like LP-tokens from DeDust.io. This means you can keep your funds in staking or liquidity pools for passive income while simultaneously using the stablecoin minted against your collateral — without the need to withdraw tokens from staking and convert them into USDt.
@thedailyton
👁 Protecting our tokens with Signer: Personal experience
⚫️ The features of TON applications often sound impressive in official announcements, but true understanding comes through practice. That’s why we’re launching a new series, «Personal experience,» where we test services and share our impressions with our readers. We tried the Signer app from Tonkeeper — what did we learn along the way?
⚫️ Any internet-connected device is theoretically vulnerable to hacking, making mobile wallet apps not the most secure option for storing funds. Hardware wallets like SafePal are safer but come with a cost and added complexity, so they’re usually reserved for large holdings. Signer, however, promises security with no cost and a user-friendly interface. But is it useful for people like us — who aren’t crypto billionaires but want to protect their savings without sacrificing convenience?
⚫️ There are two ways to set up Signer. First, we installed it on the same phone as Tonkeeper. This allows you to generate transactions in Tonkeeper as usual and then confirm them in Signer. The switching process is seamless, but there’s a security trade-off: while your private key isn’t stored in Tonkeeper, it’s still on the same internet-connected device.
⚫️ A more secure option is to install Signer on a separate phone, preferably one that can be disconnected from the internet (we happened to have an old phone lying around). In this setup, when you want to make a payment through Tonkeeper on your main phone, a QR code is generated. The second phone, running Signer, reads this code to understand the transaction details and signs it with a return QR code. This process allows data transfer between the two devices without the secondary phone ever connecting to the internet. While this method is slower than sending transactions directly, it offers much greater security.
⚫️ What’s the takeaway? Don’t expect a magic solution that offers both complete security and total convenience. For maximum safety, you’ll need a second phone, and the QR code process adds some extra steps that might feel unnecessary to some. However, if you have an unused phone and are concerned about securing your funds, Signer could be a great solution.
⚫️ Managing all your transactions this way is unlikely to be practical for most people. Therefore, it makes sense to use two accounts: safeguard your main holdings with Signer and create another wallet in your regular mobile app with a smaller amount of funds — for quickly sending small transactions.

📒 Waiting for BTC on TON: Exploring the TON Teleport BTC whitepaper
⚫️ TON Teleport, currently launched in testnet, will enable the exchange of BTC from the Bitcoin network into its equivalent, tgBTC, within the TON network. The general concept of allowing users to utilize Bitcoin in the TON ecosystem was already known, but now the creators have published a whitepaper detailing the service’s key technical principles.
⚫️ The developers emphasize the project’s core characteristic: «trustlessness». TON Teleport is designed so users don’t need to trust its creators. The system ensures no opportunity for them to interfere or harm users, aligning with Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of trustless interactions without intermediaries.
⚫️ The whitepaper outlines the technical steps for processes like «peg-in» (converting BTC into tgBTC) and the reverse, «peg-out». For example, during peg-out, validator signatures from TON are collected to achieve trustlessness. To minimize Bitcoin transaction fees, these signatures are aggregated into a single one.
⚫️ The document also covers the upgrade mechanism for the service. This allows for modifications to TON Teleport’s smart contracts, enabling future adaptations to new requirements. However, upgrades will require validator approval, preventing the project’s creators from secretly introducing vulnerabilities.
⚫️ Finally, the whitepaper notes that the principles of TON Teleport aren’t limited to Bitcoin. Similar systems could potentially connect TON to other EVM-compatible blockchains in the future.
@thedailyton
🖊 New campaign in BroBot, now exclusively for TON OGs
⚫️ BroBot Contests is back with another exciting SBT release. This time, it’s serious — no giveaways or competitions, just the chance to add the «TON Original Gangster» badge to your collection.
⚫️ To qualify, your wallet must hold at least two NFTs from the following collections:
— Welcome to TON
— Telegram Usernames
— Anonymous Telegram Numbers
— TON DNS Domains
— Notcoin Pre-Market
🔥 The Open League kicks off the New Year season with a $1,500,000 prize pool
Starting today at 11:00 UTC, users can compete in the New Year Airdrop. In the last season, many participants struggled to understand the purpose of SBTs and how to earn points. To ensure you don’t miss out on rewards this time, we’ve created a step-by-step guide:

⚫️ 2. Get familiar with the DeFi protocols where you’ll earn points for the competition. The general rule: the more complex the interaction with a project, the more points you earn for every $20 of trading volume/provided liquidity.
Volume Squad:
1 point per each $20: Rainbow Swap, Swap coffee.
5 points per each $20: GasPump, TONPump, Blum, BigPump, Wagmi.
TVL Squad:

💀 Fragment introduces KYC: What does this mean for anonymous numbers?
⚫️ The introduction of a «know your customer» system on the Fragment platform has caused quite a stir, especially concerning «anonymous numbers.» Let’s break down what has changed and what remains the same.
⚫️ Previously, using Fragment only required logging in via a TON wallet. Now, any purchase or sale (whether Telegram Stars, usernames, or anonymous Telegram numbers) requires verified user status. Through the SumSub service, users must provide a phone number, email, personal information, identity document, and pass a liveness check.
⚫️ Many questions and concerns arose over how this verification process aligns with the concept of anonymous numbers, which are designed to allow Telegram use without linking to a phone number. However, the core functionality — receiving an access code to log into a Telegram account — remains available to anonymous number holders without KYC.
⚫️ While buying or selling numbers on Fragment is no longer possible without verification, these numbers are implemented as NFTs, making their anonymous resale still feasible on NFT marketplaces: GetGems, TON Diamonds, marketapp.ws, or xrare.io.
⚫️ Thus, the functionality of anonymous numbers remains intact. Hypothetically, this could change in the future — for instance, if Fragment starts requiring verification to obtain access codes. However, no public information currently suggests such plans.
⚫️ Initially, the market responded with a drop in the price of anonymous numbers, but then it began to recover. In some ways, what happened even benefits their value: according to this news, issuing new numbers seems highly unlikely, which increases the worth of those already in circulation.

🪙 TON enters the U.S. market: What’s behind this move?
⚫️ Recently, the head of TON Foundation, Steve Yun, tweeted, «TON is coming to the USA.» We decided to provide some context to help everyone who hasn’t been following the situation understand this decision:
⚫️ Back in 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prohibited Telegram from developing TON. As a result, the project separated from the messenger: while TON is integrated with Telegram, the blockchain has been developed independently by a different team.
⚫️ In 2021, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler compared the crypto world to the «Wild West» and advocated for stricter regulations. These sentiments only grew stronger in 2022 after the collapse of the FTX exchange. Consequently, the U.S. jurisdiction came to be seen as unfavorable for crypto projects, leading some to relocate to other regions, like Hong Kong.
⚫️ Against this backdrop, TON avoided entering the U.S. market and even deliberately limited its access in certain areas. For instance, the @wallet inside Telegram was made unavailable to users from the U.S.
⚫️ However, the situation has begun to change with the recent election of Donald Trump. Trump has positioned himself as a politician open to cryptocurrencies, and his team includes Elon Musk, known for his love of Dogecoin. During his campaign, Trump even discussed creating a national Bitcoin reserve for the U.S.
⚫️ It has also been revealed that on January 20th (when Trump takes office), SEC Chairman Gary Gensler will step down. It is expected that Trump will appoint someone far more crypto-friendly to take his place.
🖊 Steve Yun’s tweet references the news about Gary Gensler’s departure. Clearly, he also believes that the American market will become more favorable for crypto projects with the change in SEC leadership, making it the right time for TON to adjust its approach.

💡 A concentrated liquidity exchange arrives on TON: What does it mean?
⚫️ The new decentralized exchange TONCO has launched on TON Blockchain. What sets it apart from other DEXs in the ecosystem, is a concentrated liquidity. As part of our #howtoton educational series, let’s break down the concept in simple terms.
⚫️ Decentralized exchanges rely on «liquidity pools» — reserves of token pairs (e.g., TON/USDt). When a user swaps TON for USDt or vice versa, the exchange takes the token being traded, adds it to the pool, and withdraws the equivalent amount of the other token.
⚫️ The more funds in the pools, the better. Anyone can contribute their assets to these pools and become a «liquidity provider.» In return, the exchange shares with providers a portion of the fees it earns from trades.
⚫️ This feature allows liquidity providers to specify a condition: «My funds can only be used within a certain price range.» For example, they might contribute to the TON/USDt pool with the condition: «Only for trades when the price is between 5 and 6 USDt per TON.» If the price of TON moves outside this range, their funds are excluded from the pool for trading.
⚫️ Why do this? By focusing on the «most active» price range, providers can earn more fees: their funds are concentrated where the most trades occur, rather than being spread across the entire market. This benefits traders as well — with more liquidity in the most popular price ranges, slippage (unexpected price movement during trades) is reduced.
⚫️ Typically, liquidity providers receive an LP token representing their contribution to the pool, which they can later redeem for their share. However, with concentrated liquidity, where each provider may set unique conditions, using standard interchangeable tokens becomes impractical. TONCO addresses this by issuing NFTs to liquidity providers instead of LP tokens.
🖊 The concept was first implemented on Ethereum by Uniswap exchange in 2021, and now it’s making its way into the TON ecosystem. In addition to TONCO, the Bidask project is also working on the technology, and soon, developers will be able to create concentrated liquidity pools on DeDust.io using its extendable protocol, DeDust X.

👁 Checking airdrops from TON Foundation
⚫️ After the Normie Airdrop distribution, we noticed many comments from users who minted SBTs and completed tasks but didn’t receive rewards. This piqued our curiosity: was the promised $1M really distributed, and how many people actually received the drop?
⚫️ First, we visited the TON Society website and tried to analyze the Normie Leaderboard. However, the data is presented in a very inconvenient format, with participants’ positions constantly shifting up and down. So, we tracked the wallets used for distributing rewards (here they are: first, second, third) and extracted the data directly.
⚫️ The results? A total of 177,933.3 TON was distributed, which, at the rate of $5.62, does realy equal $1,000,000. Out of 1,540,000 users who minted Normie SBTs, only 20,094 accounts received the drop.The smallest reward was 1.85 TON, while the largest was 104.04 TON.
⚫️ For the Degen Airdrop, 2,378 participants received a total of 37,807.3 TON, amounting to $250,000 at the rate of $5.61.
📒 Interesting statistics, right? For those curious, we’ve shared a detailed table with all the data via the link.
