+1,200 Early Adopters!

We want to thank all the participants for their activity, trust, and patience 🙂 We are getting closer to the token sales, and you will be the first to know about them!

For those who didn’t get into the program, don’t worry — we are preparing some bonuses for the community.

Let’s celebrate by reacting with 🔥 to this post!

🎉The first epoch of the Ambassador Program is done!

It was a fun month with memes, videos, and texts. Here are some numbers for you: During the past month, the Ambassadors created more than 200 memes, 50 videos, and 70 articles!

By the way, the most active Ambassador earned 150 Toncoin!

We’re already preparing ourselves for the next epoch: We’re improving tasks and the reward system, fixing bugs, and creating more detailed guides. The new epoch is very close! And with it a new budget 😉

Thank you all for joining!

We often get asked about the criteria for selecting projects to be launched on Tonstarter. Today, we are going to tell you about the process through which a project team goes after submitting an application. Read more 👈

Sport & Web 3.0

Part 1.

The ability to successfully integrate a new product or technology into the ordinary life of its users plays a huge role in the distribution of a new product or technology. And here, sports are a good example! There are a lot of ways to integrate cryptocurrency and soccer, basketball, and other sports.

One popular way is advertising integration: putting the logos of cryptocurrency companies on the uniforms of sports teams. Often, memorable NFTs can be issued, becoming a great collector’s item for many fans.

An even more interesting way to integrate cryptocurrency into the sports world is creating your own tokens for sports teams. A major development in this area was the release of the altcoin Chiliz, which made it possible to issue fan tokens, special tokens for fans of a particular team. Thus, many household sports teams have already launched their coins. Among them are FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus.

Sport & Web 3.0

Part 2.

There are many sports-related projects out there. Here are some of them:

Sorare is a fantasy soccer game where users can exchange, buy, and sell collectible player cards. Each soccer season, the developers release 111 cards with different rarity types. By buying a player card, users can earn points according to how that particular soccer player plays in real life. For example, if he scores a goal in a match, the cardholder will receive earnings in cryptocurrency.

NBA Top Shot is a collectible marketplace whose creators have been licensed by the official U.S. basketball league. It allows developers to turn interesting match moments into NFT video clips and then sell them, giving each item its own rarity.

More and more companies are partnering with cryptocurrency exchanges or projects, with more athletes becoming the official faces of blockchain projects. These events are crucial for the crypto industry because they increase people’s awareness of the possibilities of blockchain.

We’re staying on our toes to be the first to catch the next wave 🌊

What you can expect from the Ambassador Program: Some of the most active participants will be co-hosting this channel with us. We’ll be posting useful content that they’re going to create for the community.

Catch the first one! A snapshot of the key events in TON over the past week (thanks to channel author @shtraseNFT)

▫️ NFT marketplaces Getgems and Disintar have released bots where you can view NFTs without leaving Telegram and subscribe to interesting collections.

▫️ The total sales of TON Punks on the secondary market has reached 659,000 TON.

▫️ The BITON team has announced the launch of the MinedBITON special token mining. Miners will be able to use open-source solutions and mining pools to mine coins.

▫️ The CryptoBot team has begun issuing grants to popular projects that use the Crypto Pay system.

▫️ Wallet Tonhub has added the possibility of purchasing TON through the application, and you can also create your own altcoins.

▫️ A new product was announced in the TON ecosystem: @mobile.

We prepared the second part of the project selection criteria! This is about marketing, the team, and tokenomics.

We'll be happy to answer your questions in the comments ⚡️

Move-2-Earn

The huge popularity of the project Stepn has attracted massive attention to similar mechanics of earning in Web3. The principle is basic: to start earning tokens by walking in real life, you need to buy NFT sneakers.

There are already at least a dozen similar projects, so now everyone can choose an activity of their liking.

Cycgo is an analog of Stepn but for fans of bicycles! You buy a virtual bike, you soup it up, and earn project tokens.

Skatex is a project in its early stages, but it already offers users the possibility to buy one of 10,000 unique NFT skateboards. The more you skate, the more tokens you get. The company has not yet disclosed more details.

Sexn — yes, you read that right! The project will charge tokens for having sex :) How will they check? The team says that it will be testing fintech bracelets that measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

How do you feel about move-to-earn? Do you believe in such mechanics?

Hi, everyone 👋

This is @alex_tonstarter. I want to tell you about our updates.

We've developed a convenient launchpad so that even people uninitiated with crypto can access the launch of the top-tier projects on TON. By the way, you can check out our testnet (any feedback will be welcome!). In addition, we’ve recently completed the first stage of the Ambassador program and expanded the team to London and South America.

We’ve also selected some global, high-quality projects and started to prepare for a token sale in June. But with the current conditions, we decided to postpone the launch to protect our community and projects from market volatility.

Despite the postponement, we are still doing our job: helping projects grow and getting the community of interested in participating together to lead the next big wave, where TON has a good chance to be a headliner.

To that end, we’re launching the next stage of the Ambassador program, a grant program for projects, build partnerships with great teams and communities and conducts useful events for project teams. All details will be shared soon.

We are also continuing to develop the launchpad for it to be the most convenient, transparent platform for participating in token sales on TON blockchain.

We’re going to launch key products in the ecosystem together with you. So, let’s buid and learn together 💪

I’ll be in the comments today, so you’re welcome to chat and ask any questions 🔥

Tonstarter Ambassador Program 2.0.

We want to support everyone who is ready to develop the TON ecosystem. Long live the era of creators and enthusiasts!

We’re announcing a new phase of our Ambassador Program, which will benefit beginners and experienced influencers, bloggers, authors, and those who are ready to become our friends and part of the Tonstarter team🙂

The numbers: For the first month, we’ll allocate 5,000 TON, and this amount can grow many times over depending on activity! The program will last for 3 months. And we’ve also multiplied the rewards for completing assignments and prepared special projects.

You can find basic rules, tasks, and instructions here. To become a participant of the program, join us on Discord, where you can find all the communication and distribution of tasks.

We’ll explain some crypto terms and then give you a little task at the end :)

1. Token sale — the initial sale of project tokens to early investors.

2. Allocation — the upper threshold for participation in a project token sale.
“I have an allocation of $100 in an upcoming token sale!”

3. Token generating event (TGE) — the moment when a token’s contract launches.
“We are 3 days away from our TGE.”

4. Vesting — the terms of the token distribution among token sale participants over time.
- “What is the vesting for the project?”
- “It’s 10% for the TGE and then 30% linearly for 3 months.”

5. Listing — the procedure of a cryptocurrency appearing on an exchange — i.e., the possibility of buying or selling.
“The token got listed on three exchanges at the same time!”

6. Xs — multiple of the token price increase from the moment of purchase or at the moment of listing.
“Token price jumped 300x after its listing!”

7. Tokenomics — a document that describes the economics of a token from the time it is created and distributed to holders to the mechanics of interaction and liquidation.

8. Cliff — the freezing of investors’ tokens for a certain amount of time after the TGE provided by the tokenomics.
“Vesting: a 6-month cliff, then 15% quarterly.”

9. Claim — the period when partisipants can receive their tokens, according to the webpage. Usually, it is implied that contributors collect (claim) them manually by clicking the “Claim” button on the launchpad. “Claimed the first vesting, 5 more to go!”

10. Airdrop — the free distribution of coins under certain conditions. It can also be a type of vesting in which tokens are automatically credited to investors’ wallets without the need to brand them.
- “The airdrop was really generous!”

Let’s apply what we’ve learned and solve the problem! The contributor received an allocation of $200 in a project with a token price of $0.05 and the following vesting: 13% TGE, then 5.8% monthly. When will the investor get all their tokens after the TGE?

We launched our brand new Ambassador Program last week, which is full of updates and new opportunities. Our first broadcast on Twitter Spaces will cover Tonstarter’s brand new Ambassador Program! Don’t miss a chance to get your hottest question answered by our team and get 20 TON as a reward!

Follow the simple steps below:
1. Submit your question about program in our Twitter thread.
2. Follow Tonstarter on Twitter.
3. Keep an eye out for our AMA to make sure you are on the winner’s list🍀

We’re continuing to translate crypto-speak into human language!

@denispko had the correct answer for our previous post, and he’ll get 10 Toncoin as a prize.

Scam — a fraudulent cryptocurrency project, and someone who conducts such activity is a scammer.

DM (direct message) — personal messages.

White paper — a detailed document describing the meaningfulness and inner workings of a project, which aims to attract potential users and investors.

Road map — a list of specific project goals and releases with deadlines.

Floor price — the lowest token price, usually applied to NFT collections.

Skip — an investor’s decision not to participate in a token sale for whatever reason.

Volatility — changes in the price of an asset over time. The higher the rate jumps, the higher the volatility index.

APY (annual percentage yield) — the amount of interest you receive for one year on an amount of crypto you’ve placed either to stake or in a savings program.

What other terms would you like to learn?🤔

Games & Web3

Part 1.

With Web3 proliferating, more developers are bringing together two massive universes: video games and the blockchain. This fresh novelty has already set a new trend in the game industry. Web3 games are built on the play-to-earn (P2E), natively integrating cryptocurrencies and NFTs. And yes, it’s also a great way to make money!

Now, many P2E projects look like the old free-to-play games, but with one key difference: All game items exist on the blockchain. It means no one, except the player, can access game assets.

Integrating with a blockchain offers users new prospects to buy, sell, and trade in-game items. Thanks to P2E games, players can do more than just have fun — they can also earn some money!

Part 2.
We’ve chosen some of the most popular P2E games and are going to tell you more about them below:

Decentraland is a 3D virtual world — aka a metaverse — where players can purchase plots of land and turn them into anything they want. The game is limited only by the player’s imagination. Purchasing land and in-game items require the MANA token.

Star Atlas is an NFT-based MMORPG game set in the far future. By exploring deep space, players have to collect resources — and do it better than others. The game does not limit players’ actions: A person may travel through space searching or join other players in ruling cities.

Gods Unchained is reminiscent of the iconic Hearthstone in the blockchain form. The idea is simple: You have to outsmart your opponent in the game and get new collectible cards. Tactics play a huge role! The game has a rating system that rates a player’s skills and finds them a worthy opponent.

❓If P2E could be used in any existing game, which one would you choose and why❓

Tonstarter x TON Society

Friends, we’re excited to share some big news! Tonstarter has become an Incubation Partner of TON Society — investors, developers, entrepreneurs and visionaries who help projects on TON to grow. You can find the list of partners at society.ton.org

In the partnership with the TON Society, Tonstarter will provide assistance to those who want to build by raising investments, getting support from partners and funds, and developing the network.

We’re excited that we can deliver more value to our community together 🙂

You can ask questions about the initiative in the official chat @tonsociety_chat.

There are more updates to come, but in the meantime, let’s celebrate 🔥

How can I impact the development of TON?

You can create your own projects or participate in hackathons, but there is a shorter way: TON Footsteps!

TON Society has launched a program and created a public list of tasks to help develop TON. You can propose or complete tasks yourself and get rewards for doing so.

Among the first “steps” are assignments for articles, tutorials, web bots, and smart contracts. By the way, we also published the first task you can do.

P.s.: Use English so that your ideas can be understood by the global community of The Open Network 🙂

Hey, everyone! Let’s start the week with some good news!

We’ve updated our testnet, and now the technical aspect of our launchpad is ready to launch our first tokensale🥳

What we changed:
- We fixed 23 bugs.
- Added Tonkeeper and Tonhub support.
- Added KYC.

Thanks to everyone who helped us to find bugs and send feedback to the bot❤️

You can participate in the test tokensale here👈

Set your alarm for July 30!

On July 30, this Saturday, the first open auction of TON DNS domains will take place.

The major goal is to make the TON ecosystem as user-friendly as possible!

Thanks to DNS (Domain Name System), we do not need to remember the IP address of the site we want to visit. We only need to know the name of the site. So, here, too, we will be able to assign our contract a unique address🥳

This solution will simplify and personalize transactions among users because the transfer will be available by a unique username with the ending “.ton” — e.g., telega.ton or olga.ton

There are two main ways to use such nicknames (in fact, there are many more)👇
✔️Bind the nickname, say, olga.ton to your wallet. And then it will be possible to transfer TON to it not by the fancy standard address, but simply by your nickname.
✔️ Bind your nickname to a TON site.

Technically, the domain is an NFT. It will be displayed in wallets and can be bought or sold through marketplaces like Getgems and Disintar.

HOW WILL THE AUCTION GO?

📌You can buy domains at dns.ton.org

📅The auction will start on Saturday, July 30.
▪️ Domains in the “.ton” zone must have 4–126 characters (English characters, numbers and hyphens can be used).
▪️ 1 time per year, the domain owner is required to send at least one Toncoin transaction to the domain smart contract to renew it for one year.
▪️ The auction lasts one week.
▪️ If a bid is placed less than 1 hour before the end of the auction, the auction is extended for another hour.
▪️ Each new bid must be at least 5% higher than the previous bid.
See you at the auction!
