​USDt launches on TON to offer Telegram’s 900M users access to cross-border payments

TL;DR:
▪️ Tether’s USDt is now available on TON, coming in a new experience for Tether aimed at making cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and easier for Telegram's 900M users.
▪️ TON Foundation offers 11M Toncoin in incentives, aiming to put crypto in every pocket.

Pavel Durov, CEO & Founder of Telegram, Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, and Andrew Rogozov, CEO of TOP & Wallet, announced today at TOKEN2049 in Dubai that Tether, in collaboration with TON Foundation, has launched USDt on TON.

Instant, free, as easy as sending a text message.

USDt on TON simplifies global peer-to-peer payments for Telegram’s 900M monthly active users. The integration of USDt into Wallet in Telegram makes USDt transfers free and instant between all Telegram users; all you need to do is send a DM, no need for a blockchain address, and no need to download a new app.

USDt, also known as Tether, is a cryptocurrency pegged 1-to-1 with USD and backed 100% by Tether’s reserves. Unlike other more volatile digital assets, it offers a stable value. Making USDt on TON ideal for daily transactions and cross-border payments.

USDt on TON will be accompanied by fully integrated on-ramps from most fiat currencies globally at launch. Soon, integrated global off-ramps will enable users to withdraw supported fiat currencies directly to bank accounts or cards. The aim is for USDt on TON to become a faster, easier, and cheaper cross-border payment system than traditional financial services.

11M Toncoin in incentives

TON Foundation has committed 11M Toncoin to incentivize the adoption of USDt on TON.

For a limited time, while incentives last:
▪️ 5M Toncoin will be used to boost rewards in USDt/TON liquidity pools across TON DEXes @ston_fi and DeDust.
▪️ 5M Toncoin will be given to users depositing USDt to Wallet’s Earn campaign.
▪️ Withdrawals to TON from all supporting exchanges like OKX, Bybit, and KuCoin will be entirely free for all users until the end of June, 2024.
▪️ Prepare the engines. These incentives will begin soon.

The launch of USDt on TON represents a step towards integrating digital currencies into everyday life, providing 900M users with a seamless and integrated financial service within TON’s Web3 ecosystem in Telegram.

For more details and a guide on how to use USDt on TON, check out this blog post.

Please note that USDt on TON is not available to users based in mainland US, US territories, or US citizens and Prohibited Countries as defined under Tether Terms of Service.

​TON Ecosystem Roundup

As TON continues to evolve and expand, this week brings several updates from five ecosystem projects: TONNEL Network, Tonkeeper, Gagarin Launchpad, TONX, and The Pixels. Let's take a closer look at their latest updates:

TONNEL Network

TONNEL Network, via its ZK-protocol, has introduced a smart contract enabling users to join a liquidity pool with a single transaction. Users can send Toncoin (TON) to a specific address, Zalp.ton, initiating an automated exchange of TON for $TONNEL at DeDust, adding both to the pool, and issuing LP tokens in return.

The Zalp Mini App further simplifies transactions for various tokens, making it easier to become a liquidity provider. It's important to note, the gas fee for the Zalping process is currently almost 1 TON, which includes gas and DeDust fees but not a platform fee.

Tonkeeper

Tonkeeper has launched Tonkeeper Pro for desktop, featuring a redesign, an enhanced dashboard, subscription for Pro users, and the introduction of promo codes. A standout feature is a visual diagram that displays the token distribution within a user’s wallet, offering an intuitive view of asset allocation. Additionally, the dashboard now includes wallet analytics, a tool especially useful for professionals using Tonkeeper in their daily business activities.

Gagarin Launchpad

Gagarin 2.0 enhances the TON Ecosystem with the TON-EVM Bridge, linking TON with Binance Smart Chain and improving tokenomics, refund policies, and offering extra perks for Tier holders. This open-source solution enables seamless token bridging between TON and EVM networks, broadening the reach of projects to TON's vast user base on Telegram and fostering cross-network liquidity. Watch a video tutorial here.

TONX

TONX has officially unveiled TonFura, the premier suite of RPC DEV tools designed to simplify and empower development projects on TON. To begin your journey in TON blockchain development, start by registering a TonFura account today.

The Pixels

The Pixologists have announced an incentive week for TON projects in The Pixels. Communities, games, and channels will join forces as squads, with the top three teams sharing a total prize pool of 1,000 TON.

Stay tuned for more updates and developments from the TON Ecosystem.

Turning NFTs into tokens with Shardify

TL;DR:
▪️ Meridian Club has launched a new service enabling the fractionalization of NFTs on TON, allowing users to purchase portions of any NFT.
▪️ The service has entered beta phase, highlighted by the introduction of the Notcoin Pre-Market voucher pool.

Quick start guide:

▪️ Visit Shardify and choose the Notcoin Pre-Market collection.
▪️ Deposit an NFT into the collection's storage. In exchange, you receive wNOT (wrapped NOT), with each NFT allowing for the creation of approximately 10 million wNOT (minus service commissions). wNOT will be exchangeable at a 1:1 ratio with Notcoin. This system links NFTs to a fungible token (wNOT) backed by NFTs locked in the smart contract.
▪️ You can use wNOT for various purposes, such as making transactions or trading on DEXs.
▪️ Tokens can be converted back to the original NFT at any time through the unshardifying process.

Developed since Autumn 2023, this initiative reflects Meridian Club's dedication to fostering a community of Web3 enthusiasts and advancing blockchain solutions. Aligning with TON's vision of putting crypto and Web3 in every pocket, this service opens new avenues for NFT ownership, making it more accessible and flexible for a wider audience.

Important disclaimer: The beta version of this service charges a 20% commission fee on transactions. Users are advised to do their own research.
