To put things into context, a key highlight of the campaign was the $100,000+ airdrop, split into two phases: October 2024 rewarded early contributors, while early 2025 will honor top-engaged participants. Additionally, Storm Trade distributed 50K STORM tokens, bemo allocated $10K in stxp, EVAA provided XP rewards, and TBook is offering TPoints for all Late Night DeFi participants. These incentives are here to boost participation and engagement in TON DeFi.

⛏️ TON Space adds support for the TON test network
We’re excited to announce that developers can now test and build applications more quickly, all within Telegram. This was made possible by integrating the TON Testnet into TON Space 💎
⛏ The test network (or testnet) is a separate blockchain where developers can safely implement updates without affecting the main network. This prevents potential instability on the main blockchain (also known as the mainnet or “core network”). Testnet allows updates to be thoroughly tested before deploying them to mainnet 🪙
Each application can have its own testnet, utilizing test tokens for transactions. You can get test TON here: @testgiver_ton_bot
Please note: Test tokens cost nothing and cannot be exchanged for real crypto. Testnet is only intended to be used by developers and beta testers 🫴
TON Society Expands to the Balkans!
Following a series of successful bootcamps and regional events worldwide, we're excited to announce that the Balkans is now officially part of the TON Society!
