🚀 Tonkeeper 3.5

It’s time to drop a new update, which is already available for download in app stores! Let’s dive in!

💎 Separate tabs for buying and selling TON
Since Tonkeeper now has a region selector, services in the “Buy TON” section are separated into “Buy” and “Sell” tabs for a more streamlined user experience.

💎 Trade TON with other crypto
It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve added crypto exchanges where you can swap and trade TON for other cryptocurrencies. They are available under the same tabs.

💎 Simplified user interface for staking
We’ve received a lot of feedback about the staking cycle UI. It was confusing, so we removed it altogether. The best design is no design.

⏳ TON Blackout Radar

TON is healing from a massive denial-of-service issue that started on December 5.

2.5 million transactions are stuck in the queue and validators are upgrading hardware in order to sort out the congestion quicker.

We have put out a new monitoring page where you could see decongestion process at 10-minute intervals.

Chart 1 shows cumulative amount of delayed transactions. Until it drops to zero, the network can only process very few new transactions.

Chart 2 shows the rate of congestion/decongestion. Blue line shows clearance rate, red one — growth of the queued messages.

In the next 10-20 hours we expect to see increase in the rate of decongestion: more and faster validators will join the next validation round.

This page is a work-in-progress: there are a few bugs to fix in the morning. We will also add the timeline of events with commentary to keep you updated.

The phoenix will rise once again.

☔ Tonkeeper Paused

Yesterday we warned you about TON network congestion. For most transfers, this means that transactions can be significantly delayed, but the money remains safe.

Unfortunately, for some more complex types of operations, such as bids on the auctions, large transaction delays can lead to the cancellation of operations in smart contracts and the loss of money on blockchain commissions. Or sometimes even greater losses, depending on the logic of the smart contracts underpinning some dapps.

To minimize risks of loss for our users, we are temporarily pausing the relay of transactions through Tonkeeper and TonAPI. Since the network is heavily overloaded, you are unlikely to notice the difference anyway. But at least you won’t find yourself in a situation where your transaction is stuck in limbo.

We are working together with the TON Core development team to deliver the fix as soon as possible. The network will be more robust and perfectly capable of handling this kind of load in the nearest future.

Stay tuned,
Oleg.

💪 Transaction relay re-enabled

Good news: the transaction relay is back up and running. You can continue making transfers, swap tokens and use dapps. If you don't see your transaction in history — simply wait a minute or two — there could still be delays in the queues.

Every challenge is meant to make us wiser and stronger. Thank you so much for your patience, you are the best community in crypto.

Love, Tonkeeper. ❤️

PS. The above applies to the mobile wallet; web and extension will resume tomorrow.

🔥 W5 Challenge Winners

We are pleased to announce results of the W5 optimization challenge. People were so much enthusiastic about W5 on TON Gateway'23, that’s incredible! On behalf of the entire TON community I express my gratitude to all the participants in our contest. Your part is a big step towards the future.

To underline this sentiment we decided to amend the original rules and increase the reward for the second and third place to make it even 1 TON per 1 gas unit saved on average for all winning participants (equivalent to 0.333 TON per each gas unit over three target execution paths, as per original rules).

Now, let's announce the winners.

🥇 The first place goes to Skydev

Skydev made two excellent contributions: a regular one and a more radical one, that involved patching the FunC compiler.

Skydev's radical option achieved whopping savings of 2927 gas units over three usage scenarios (28% on average) and we assign a reward of 975 TON, or 1 TON for 1 gas unit saved on average.

Congratulations!

🥈The second place goes to Davi-bart

Davi-bart's contribution saved 796 gas units total (7.8% on average) and we assign a reward of 265 TON.

🥉 And the third place goes to Behrang Norouzinia

Behrang's contribution was the most clean and straightforward and yet saved 506 gas units total (4.9% on average). And we assign a reward of 169 TON.

Conclusion

Gas price, rent price, and forwarding fees are necessary to protect the network against spam and reward validators for keeping consensus running. This is of the utmost importance because TON is a public resource shared by everyone. It is our duty as developers to make efficient use of this resource and produce the most optimal software possible. It’s doubly so for commonly used contracts such as a wallet.

30% savings on a wallet contract would mean that a billion users transacting daily would save around $2-5 million each day in transaction costs, or about $1 billion annually.

Congratulations to all the winners!

With love,
Tonkeeper Team 💙

🐟 Liquid Staking in Tonkeeper

Meet liquid staking with Tonstakers! This is a colossal achievement for the entire TON ecosystem. It took over a year of research and development, and community-wide collaboration. Liquid staking with Tonstakers is integrated into Tonkeeper 3.4.2 and available to everybody as a public beta. The protocol is still being tested and audited, so stake at your own risk.

Tonstakers pool is an infinitely-scalable decentralised application: it allows everybody to easily participate in TON validation and earn a share of network fees. Unlike traditional staking pools, with Tonstakers you can trade your tokens directly without ever withdrawing the stake. Or, you can withdraw any fraction of your staked coins. Liquid staking in Tonkeeper is real easy:
• Deposit as much TON coins as you want.
• Receive tsTON tokens, which represent your share in the pool.
• Earn with your staking coins while using the liquid token for other purposes.

Tonstakers pool greatly improves the decentralization of TON: it helps locking a larger number of coins for staking and makes it super easy for legions of validators to join the network.

W5 Optimization Challenge

Prize: up to 2,000 TON
Deadline: October 15, 23:59 UTC+4
Results: November 11

The Tonkeeper team is working on a new wallet standard called W5 aimed at replacing the currently used wallet v4R2. It will enable new exciting possibilities for TON that dramatically improve user experience for millions of people.

W5 supports gasless transactions, delegation and account recovery, subscription payments with tokens and Toncoin, and cheap multi-transfers. At the same time, W5 significantly reduces user and merchant fees.

Learn about W5 from our GitHub repository.

We invite talented Fift and FunC engineers to participate in optimizing W5. The most optimized solution that meets the requirements will win the contest.

Requirements
The goal is to optimize gas consumption for each of the three computation paths, where a single outgoing message of 1 TON to a regular basechain address is emitted from the wallet:

1. Processing an external signed message. Starting gas cost: 3135.
2. Processing an internal signed message. Starting gas cost: 4110.
3. Processing an internal message authenticated by an extension. The dictionary contains only that one extension. Starting gas cost: 2660.

The starting gas costs are measured when the entire contract code is offloaded to a library on a masterchain. Measurements were made on testnet.

Non-goals: optimizing the storage space, optimizing the code size (the code will be offloaded into a shared library and won’t cost anything to a user).

While optimizing these three cases, do not impede the remaining functionality. Minor trade-offs are acceptable, but a significant increase in cost, usage complexity, or loss of security may disqualify a candidate.

The resulting code in FunC or Fift must contain excellent documentation necessary for audit and a documented build process if it differs from the one we already use in the repository.

Implementation should be generally compatible with the ABI in the specification.

Minor changes to the storage and message layout are allowed for the performance if they do not break the functionality and do not complicate the ABI for apps. Please do not change the 32-bit opcodes. We reserve the right to decide which changes are acceptable. When in doubt, feel free to make two submissions: conservative & radical..

Deliverable
Pull-request to w5 repository.

Prizes
🥇The author of the winning implementation receives co-authorship credit in the project and 0.333 TON per gas unit saved in each of the three paths (external+signed, internal+signed, internal+extension).

We also reward original ideas with novel trade-offs and worthy follow-up attempts.

🥈The second place: 0.100 TON per gas unit.
🥉The third place: 0.050 TON per gas unit.

We will pay out only one prize per author. We will evaluate submissions one by one. To avoid copycats, we recommend you submit your code shortly before midnight on October 15 (UTC +4).

We can’t wait to see how your talents unfold in this challenge. Good luck!

For any questions, please contact @w5challenge

Address Update: EQ » UQ

By the end of this year the entire TON network will display wallet addresses differently. The new address will start with UQ instead of EQ. And the last four letters will change too. The old address will also work and direct to the same wallet. It doesn't effect the safety of funds stored in your wallet anyhow.

Old address:
EQCcBxXXaKuGWjPQZCcoqlN_CrB4MTBcLTKdDLBRv9VYE6Nl

New address:
UQCcBxXXaKuGWjPQZCcoqlN_CrB4MTBcLTKdDLBRv9VYE_6g

Why change?

There are two address styles on the TON blockchain and until now only one was used for apps and wallets.

The EQ format is best for smart contracts that process incoming funds. If a smart contract isn’t published yet — i.e., the code isn’t on the blockchain — then the TONs sent to that address will bounce back to the sender. And this is a safety feature: if there is any error, TONs bounce back.

The UQ format is best for wallets. Coins never bounce because wallets are designed to simply store funds. Each wallet starts as a plain address without a code on the blockchain. So, it would make no sense for coins to bounce back.

This year we are switching wallets to the more suitable UQ format. And if you continue sending funds to an old EQ address someone gave you, there will be two options:
1. Most likely the destination wallet is already actively used and you won’t notice any difference.
2. Less likely that the wallet has never been used for payments. And Tonkeeper won’t send coins to that address next year. You will have to ask the recipient for a new UQ address.

October 5, 2023: all addresses switch to the UQ format in Tonkeeper.

January 1, 2024: Tonkeeper stops checking the contract status and uses the “bounceable” flag in the address. Coins sent to non-published contracts with an EQ address will bounce back to the sender.

🥐 Tonkeeper 3.3: privacy mode, renewal for .ton domains and automatic token approval

What could be better than a hot new release of your favorite wallet during your morning coffee?

Privacy Mode
Among your friends you are known as an “crypto expert”, so we made it easier for you to help your friends with using TON. Tap your wallet balance to hide amounts for all tokens in the balance screen and transaction history. Now you can show your wallet or make screenshots with a peace of mind without revealing your personal data.

.TON domains renewal
Last year TON launched truly decentralized domain names protocol. TON DNS requires every owner to “renew” their domain with a tiny payment to the domain contract at least once a year. Expired domains return to the “open auction” mode and can be claimed by anyone.

Tonkeeper now has a dedicated “Renew” button for each .TON domain in your collection. With a single tap you can renew each domain and ensure it remains in your possession. Renewal button is available on iOS, Android and Web versions of Tonkeeper. Do not forget to renew your domains!

Automatic token approval
Tonkeeper now intelligently approves tokens and collectibles that you received from exchanges and marketplaces. Unknown tokens ask for your permission to appear in your wallet, so you are protected against spam and counterfeits.

We work hard improving Tonkeeper to provide you with the best experience in the entire world of crypto. Enjoy Tonkeeper!

⛈ Targeted denial-of-service attack against TON infrastructure

Some of the most popular infrastructure providers are experiencing a deliberate flood attack that leads to slower or interrupted service.

This attack is aimed at our TonAPI servers, public liteservers, Ton Center, Getblock and Tonhub.

Check out the availability of the infrastructure in real time:
👉 tonstat.us

About the attack

1. Decentralized network of TON nodes is working normally. Transactions get validated at a stable pace of 50 tx/sec.

2. Your funds in Tonkeeper are safe: even if your Tonkeeper has trouble connecting to TonAPI, try again later.

3. This is a deliberate and planned attack. We see a mixture of low-level flood attack by UDP packets that clog the bandwidth and crafted requests aimed at exhausting resources of the indexing services (e.g. triggering expensive TVM evaluation).

4. We do not currently have an estimate when the attack will be mitigated. Every infra provider is trying to reconfigure or relocate their servers to hide them from the attackers' reach. This process may take hours or days.

5. Attackers are adapting quickly. We tried different quick options to divert the flood and noticed how attackers change tactics, discover new IP addresses and resume their activity.

We are proud that our services are important and valuable in the TON community, so that it attracts such unwanted attention. Our team is working overnight to protect our services and come out stronger out of this. I thank all our users for your patience. Hold on tight! ❤️

🔥 Tonkeeper X

We are entering 2024 by launching a new chapter for Tonkeeper with native mobile implementations on iOS and Android.

Tonkeeper X will be released on App Store and Play Store as a separate application aimed at enthusiasts and fans of Tonkeeper. At first, it won’t have all the features as the regular Tonkeeper (hence you really ought to be our fan to put up with it :-), but there will be some unique and fun features going forward such as price widgets.

We will collect feedback and evolve Tonkeeper X until it’s ready to be merged back into the stable version. When that happens, all of you will smoothly upgrade on the new design.

Why Tonkeeper X?

When we started Tonkeeper late in 2021, we decided to use multi-platform React-Native framework for its speed of development. As Tonkeeper grew in functionality all around, it is now time to put more effort into platform-specific navigation and security architecture.

Going forward, over the next few months we are going to build up brand-new native architecture on Android and iOS, test it in the open using a separate app Tonkeeper X, and then merge it into the main Tonkeeper. We will also use React-Native framework for built-in services such as exchanges, swaps and staking. These services will be securely isolated from the core of the wallet, while sporting native look and feel.

TON20 Inscription Use-case on TON
Starting on December 5th, The Open Network (TON) experienced an incredible spike in network activity, thanks to the BRC20 Bitcoin Ordinals type of inscription use-case, called TON20, launched by the Tonano team.

Producing over 2 million transactions increased our network usage by 61 times within just half an hour. TON Community is proud to witness a creative use case take-off in TON driven by independent participants in the ecosystem.

Moreover, this sudden growth has revealed many interesting insights for our blockchain. Dynamic sharding technology worked as expected. At its peak, TON split into eleven shardchains, stabilizing at five shardchains to handle the heavy load.

At the same time, this phenomenon also revealed where the community should work to swiftly onboard the exponential increase in network activity expected in the near future. Network validators must ensure that TON is supported by hardware capable of scaling to the performance demanded by high usage.

Network Performance Delays
This peak interest also came with a severe congestion of TON network, where validation was severely delayed even though the network validators are still producing blocks.

Popular wallets like @Wallet and Tonkeeper have paused the service temporarily.

TON core developers are aware of the issues affecting users and are working on TON blockchain. An initial technical report is available here. TON core team will be providing us with a further update within the next 24 hours.

We thank you and the community for your patience and unwavering support as we go through the growing pains together, preparing for the unprecedented growth season expected in the near future.
