TON’s path to decentralization: Society DAO

Talk is easy, action is hard, and no more so than in experimenting true decentralization to Web3! 

Decentralization has always been a key tenet of Web3’s vision. However, current centralized governance models in blockchain ecosystems mean that capital and resources — financial, social, human, and political — accumulate around the foundation, making it difficult for projects to succeed without its official support.

That is why The Open Network Foundation is committing to this head on by introducing Society DAO — a new community-driven governance model to boost decentralization and empower TON’s growing ecosystem. Society DAO is the answer to these challenges by democratizing access to capital and resource allocation. Under this new model, we redistribute resource allocation power, empowering trusted community members to set vision, goals, and strategies in alignment with TON's overall growth. 

The founding members of Society DAO will include TON Core, TON Studio, Wallet in Telegram, and TON Society — teams that have been independently aligned with TON’s mission. 

Society DAO will position the TON community on the right trajectory to become more competitive, decentralized, and resilient. Together, we can drive meaningful change and put crypto in every pocket.

TON x Curve Stableswap Winners: Torch and Crouton

Since the start of 2024, TON has made significant headway in the DeFi space. Crucial for this growth has been the introduction of USDT, allowing for the establishment of major liquidity pools and laying the groundwork for further DeFi primitives like lending solutions and AMM protocols. 

In collaboration with Curve Finance, we organized a stableswap competition that attracted 70 teams, resulting in two winning projects: Torch Finance and Crouton Finance. These projects will leverage Curve’s advanced CFMM technology and build stable swap mini apps on TON blockchain, guaranteeing smooth and efficient exchanges.

TON Foundation will pledge $150,000 to back these projects for audits and initial liquidity, while Curve will serve as an advisor and grant access to the CFMM formula. Moreover, our winning projects have secured $2.3 million in investments from seven venture funds including: 

▪️ TON Ventures
▪️ DWF Labs
▪️ GSR
▪️ Kenetic Capital
▪️ Foresight
▪️ Bitrue Ventures
▪️ Paper Ventures

Now is the time for DeFi teams and investors to join the TON Ecosystem — 2024 will be the year of DeFi on TON!

TON Teleport BTC

In July, we introduced a novel solution that facilitates the trustless transfer of Bitcoin (BTC) between its native network and the TON Blockchain. Most importantly, this solution will be fully decentralized, eliminating the reliance on centralized entities.

▪️trading
▪️yield farming
▪️liquidity provision

Now, we’re finally ready to share more about the bridge and the introduction of BTC on TON at the upcoming Gateway event. You can also join the tgBTC channel now for an early sneak peek.

With TON Teleport BTC, we hope to open up a $10B opportunity for TON Degens and take a step toward making TON the gateway between all cryptos and real-world utility.
