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!

Tonstarter DNS BOT.

We are glad to present our beta-version bot, aimed at assisting you with domain auctions. It monitors the bids made by other participants and increases your offer within the selected price range.

How does it work?

All you need is to define the domains you are going to compete for, and top-up your bot account. Once done, select the highest acceptable price limit for the chosen domains. Here you go🙂

The bot will consistently raise your bid within the set limit in case someone makes a higher offer. It will also notify you if the auction price exceeds your pre-set upper limit.

The bot @autodomains_bot is available on mobile devices with the Tonkeeper wallet installed.

Testnet version: @managerDnsbot

We've made the code available so everyone could study and deploy it.

The first IDO on The Open Network is on the way.

Friends, we know you’ve been waiting for this news as much as we have! So, set your alarms for Monday, Aug. 22, and we’ll announce the first project to have the inaugural token sale on TON.

We’re getting excited and making the final preparations to tell you all the details! In the meantime, send 🔥 news like this deserves it 🙂

What kind of project do you think we’ll launch? We’re waiting for your predictions in the comments section 🙂

Fanzee — The first IDO on TON

Fanzee is developing a platform to increase engagement among sports fans with their favorite professional sports teams through game mechanics, tokens, and NFTs⚽️

The project is now partnering with sports clubs, leagues, cyber sports teams, sports influencers to allow fans to connect more closely with their favorite teams.

🎯The goal of the project is to become the main Web3 tool for sports clubs to interact with their fans.

The Fanzee team has already raised $2 million for development from the TONcoin.Fund and FS Labs, established partnerships with MEXC, Huobi, and KuCoin, and launched the first clubs on its platform.

The project’s founders are an international team with a strong business and sports background. The team has more partnerships and launches in the pipeline, which we will tell you more about soon.

If you do not want to miss the sale, join our waitlist, and we will send you a notification first!🔥

A business model, token utility, and team — Why Fanzee?

Part 1

Let’s dive deeper and find out what Fanzee is and why we’re launching its IDO.

Simply put, Fanzee is an engagement platform that helps sports clubs and fans to communicate worldwide. Thanks to the project being developed between blockchain technology and sports, it has an array of unique mechanics and technologies — e.g., NFT tickets, club tokens, rewards-based quizzes, and much more. All this creates new ways for sports clubs to interact with their fan base.


💡Community and business

It is worth noting that, unlike many crypto products, Fanzee doesn’t need a huge crypto audience, as its business model is built around B2B cooperation. It means the project establishes agreements with sports clubs, leagues, and influencers who have already acquired an impressive fan base — and all of them will popularize The Open Network by using Fanzee.

Part 2

💎Token utility

Sports clubs and leagues may create their own token inside the app’s ecosystem by buying out Fanzee Governance Token. Meanwhile, users will be immersed in a clear and gamified interface to interact with a blockchain to buy tickets, participate in quizzes, or collect NFTs. That is why token utility will be used by thousands of people.

👥The team

Fanzee has a solid and experienced team from different niches. For example, CEO Ajay Joo is a Cambridge graduate with more than nine years of experience building social intervention programs. Serge Suchkov and Anthony Bryantsev co-founded Radario, which was sold in 2021. (You can find more information here.)

A business model, token utility, and a strong team are key factors to the project’s success.

Timeline of the first IDO

Hey! On Monday, we announced the first IDO on TON. Today, we’ll dive into the first IDO timeline and its mechanics.

IDO announcement (📍we are here)
The first step toward a token sale is waitlist opening. Over the next few days we will gradually introduce you to the project, its team, and some crucial details. And yes, don’t forget to join the waitlist — the only way not to miss important announcements!

Allowlist opening
We will randomly distribute allocations among registrants for buying Fanzee tokens before listing it on DEX. Investors will have an option to increase their chances of getting an allocation.

Token sale day
Those who got an allocation may buy Fanzee tokens on Tonstarter at a fixed price. Others will have to wait for the token listing on a DEX.

After the IDO
The Fanzee token will be listed on a DEX, and its price will be at the whims of the market. Everyone will be able to purchase FNZ for Toncoin.

We are ready to answer all of your questions in the comments🔥

Allocations 💎

We’ve talked about the process of IDO, now let’s move on to other important details.

Allocation is the number of a project’s tokens that can be redeemed at a fixed price by one person. For example, an allocation in project N for $100 implies that an investor can redeem 5,000 project tokens for $0.02 each.

The number of allocations at each stage is limited by the tokenomics of the project, so there is a strictly defined number for each round. For our IDO, they will be distributed randomly among investors.

And one more thing... 😏

We raffled off some guaranteed allocations, and the winners were chosen at random among the participants on the wait list: @twenn @MaslouMaslou @yolkaunicorn Congratulations 🔥
