​TON has entered the top-5 blockchain ecosystems for developer influx

Electric Capital recently conducted an extensive study analyzing the activity of blockchain developers in various crypto projects over the past year. The findings of this study have now been published in a comprehensive report.

Despite the obvious challenges faced by the industry, which has seen a 22% decline in blockchain developers compared to June last year, TON Ecosystem has displayed remarkable resilient growth. Over the past 12 months alone, the total number of TON developers has surged by 102%, and we now have over 170 specialists working in the ecosystem.

As a result, TON took 4th position in the rankings of developer growth over the year, marking a truly outstanding achievement, particularly given the market conditions.

As you know, developers play a special role in The Open Network's philosophy, and we warmly welcome all specialists and builders to join the ecosystem and help us reach mass adoption.

Liquid staking is now available on TON

What is liquid staking?

Liquid staking is a crypto solution that allows users to stake their tokens and earn rewards without sacrificing flexibility. Unlike traditional staking, which requires users to completely lock up their crypto for a specific period, liquid staking provides users with special tokens that can be freely traded and used in DeFi apps while they continue to earn rewards. This solution offers both earning potential and liquidity, all while contributing to the security and stability of the network.

Liquid staking on TON

TON Foundation has recently developed a new liquid staking contract to improve the convenience and accessibility of the ecosystem's DeFi segment. These smart contracts for liquid staking are currently being trialed on the testnet and are expected to be launched on the mainnet soon. Once released, the community will be informed about the various possibilities and solutions for liquid staking in the ecosystem.

TON TVL has increased by over 2,200%

According to DefiLlama, the Total Value Locked (TVL) in TON increased by over 2,200% in the last four months to the current $18М.

We can attribute this to multiple factors, including the recently launched DeFi Liquidity Incentive Program, the continuous support for TON-based projects, and the ever-growing public interest in innovative TON dApps.

DeFi remains the dominant area of the ecosystem thanks to TON's scalable and shardable architecture, designed to process heavy network demand with near-instant and affordable transactions. The leading dApp with the highest TVL remains Megaton Finance, currently standing at $9.8M.

Over the last 30 days, the TVL on DeDust increased by over 371% to $4.8M while STON.fi achieved a growth of over 480% to $3.4M TVL.

​Introducing TON-based DAO voting solution TON.vote

During the recent TON Ecosystem referendum matters such as voting on optimizing tokenomics or implementing a network fee burn mechanism were on the agenda, with the TON.vote service playing a crucial role. Today, we would like to delve deeper into TON.vote and take a closer look at how it works.

TON.vote is a decentralized on-chain governance service specifically developed by the Orbs platform for DAOs. This protocol supports referendums and voting directly on the blockchain, eliminating the need for centralized services.

With each new vote initiated by a user, a separate smart contract is created. These contracts operate independently of the TON and Orbs teams, guaranteeing complete decentralization and allowing any user to follow the link and verify voting results.

Prominent dApps such as STON.fi, EvAA, TON Punks and Fanzee have joined Orbs as partners for the launch of TON.vote. As the protocol progresses, any service within TON Ecosystem will have the opportunity to use TON.vote for conducting fully decentralized on-chain referendums.

We hope that TON.vote will empower the ecosystem and provide a transparent platform for community decision-making.

​DeDust has implemented a TON Bridge, enabling users to seamlessly transfer tokens between Ethereum and TON Blockchain

DeDust users can now directly transfer tokens between TON Blockchain and the Ethereum blockchain using the official bridge. Additionally, DeDust's built-in bridge includes support for the Wallet Connect protocol, enabling the use of various crypto wallets such as Uniswap Wallet, SafePal, Rainbow, and others.

Previously, in order to access TON Ecosystem from Ethereum, users had to rely on Metamask. However, thanks to these new developments, accessing TON has become easier than ever before. DeDust has also initiated a user reward program, distributing 120,000 TON tokens to liquidity providers. It is important to note that when utilizing the bridge for transfers, network fees on both blockchains still apply. Likewise, some users may experience stability issues with Trust Wallet when connecting via the Wallet Connect protocol. In this case, we recommend using the built-in Trust Wallet browser or an alternative wallet altogether.

TONcoin.Fund x TON Accelerator Cohort Showcase, DWF tie up

The recently launched TON Accelerator program is hosting the first cohort showcase for TONcoin.Fund and its accelerator partners.

The projects have been sourced by the TON Foundation through three methods during the first half of the year:

1. A global hackathon with DoraHacks, which resulted in over 200 submissions. The event culminated in 10 winners who received a total of $300K for further development.
2. TON builder meetups, which included 15 hacker sessions with over 800 attendees in various cities around the world.

The showcase will feature eight early-stage projects that are building across different verticals, ranging from financial applications such as decentralized perpetual contracts to technical domains such as TON storage. Once the private session is completed, a publicly available version will be made for the community to view.

Additionally, DWF Labs, the global digital asset market maker and multi-stage Web3 investment firm, has joined as the newest member of the TON Accelerator partners.

Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of DWF Lab, stated: “DWF Labs and their willingness to support DeFi primitives through liquidity provisioning will be instrumental in establishing a strong DeFi foundation on TON.”

He added: “DWF Labs has been a consistent supporter of projects on TON, as evident from their past investments.

“We are committed to providing comprehensive support to selected projects. We also actively assist projects with their tokenomics, market making, and liquidity provision. Our ongoing investments demonstrate our strong dedication to projects on TON, and we are excited to collaborate further with the TON Foundation and the vibrant community.”
