Ellen Sheidlin will launch her first NFT collection on the TON blockchain.

Famous blogger and conceptual artist Ellen Sheidlin, who has 4.4 million subscribers on Instagram, is going to create an NFT collection of avatars and launch it on The Open Network.

The artist plans to release a small yet exclusive collection.

Ellen Sheidlin is a world-renowned creator.

Her work has graced exhibitions in France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and she’s won prestigious awards throughout her career.

The artist has created work for brands, such as Nike, Estée Lauder, Moncler, Bacardi, BMW, Instagram, Schwarzkopf, L’Oréal, and Coca-Cola, and has collaborated with musical group Little Big.

Many of our subscribers are most likely familiar with Ellen because some of her work has gone viral and, in turn, garnered lots of views and attention.

We’re so happy that a big-name creator has chosen TON to create NFTs, and we believe that the blockchain can become the place to be where thousands of talented people will be able to express themselves.

Her collection will be minted on the TON Diamonds marketplace:

Paid subscriptions in Toncoin on Telegram.

We’re going to publish a series of posts on products that are integrated with Toncoin, and today, we want to tell you about the @donate service, an official partner of The Open Network.

@donate is a Telegram-verified payments service that allows content creators to host private channels with paid subscriptions and collect donations.

Currently, over 3,000 Telegram communities and channels work with the @donate bot.

@donate has two main functions:

1. Create a button on a channel to collect donations.
2. Enable recurring subscription payments on private channels.

Recurring payments is a convenient function that takes care of payments automatically for users. The @donate bot charges your account once per payment period, helping avoid manually making a payment every month manually.

@donate has one of the lowest commission fees on the market: no more than 5% per payment.

The bot also accepts payments in Toncoin and has a rewards program for creators who work with The Open Network’s native cryptocurrency.

Without a doubt, @donate is all-in on the future growth of TON and its thousands of users. We hope that the team can make these goals come to fruition.

TON-based gaming.

Game development requires a substantial amount of time and resources — more than creating art. Therefore, the GameFi sector on The Open Network has yet to gain the same level of popularity as some NFT collections.

TON-based gaming has been under active development, nonetheless, and in the next few months, we can expect a lot of games currently prepping for a release to launch on TON.

Today, we’re going to introduce you to a few of them.

Grabscape

Grabscape is a play-to-earn card game under development that allows players to earn Toncoin while playing.

The game’s mechanic works as follows: Users obtain NFT playing cards with images of “Grabses” (anthropomorphic rats) and send them to mine the project’s tokens, which can be traded for Toncoin.

To farm tokens, players need to complete various tasks — e.g., “Like” Grabses of other players or participate in battles.

You can follow updates and Grabscape news on the project’s official site and Telegram channel.

G-Bots Game

G-Bots Game is a battle royal mobile game where players fight one another in a player-versus-player arena.

Owners of G-Bots NFTs will be able to log in to the game with their wallets and play with their NFT robots.

What’s interesting about this game is that it’s one of the few games on TON that has a working prototype where you can play and participate in its testing phase.

The beta version is available on smartphones iOS (Testflight) and Android (APK file).

You can stay up-to-date with the game’s developments on the official G-Bots Telegram channel.

Rich Cats

This is the first-ever customizable NFT game tailored for Telegram, a fascinating project that rose from the RuTON channel.

Rich Cats probably cannot be considered a game in the traditional sense; however, the project has an entertaining mechanic: Rich Cats NFT holders can alter the appearance of their NFT characters by buying clothes and accessories.

What’s more, the TON blockchain is the only network where such a function could be realized thanks to the NFTEditable extension.

Moreover, holders of these unique NFTs can show them off by using them as an avatar. The NFTs will also be integrated into RuTON services and Tonscan.org.

You can read an article reviewing Rich Cats NFT and follow news on the collection on the project’s official channel.

We can’t wait for the release of TON-based games and wish all their developers the best of luck!

Citizens of Taiwan can now buy Toncoin with the local currency, TWD.

The TON project continues to expand its geography: BitoPro, a popular crypto platform in Taiwan — where 80% of the island’s crypto activity happens — has listed Toncoin.

Moreover, the TON Foundation is in partnership talks with O2 Meta, BitoPro’s metaverse project.

The exchange is officially registered and adheres to the local laws, enabling over 800,000 users to buy cryptocurrency with fiat currency.

BitoPro is partners with the FamilyMart chain and provides shoppers with more than 3,000 stores where they can buy crypto for cash.

BitoPro also has partnered with large companies, such as CoinGecko, Dow Jones, JOYSO, Mifengcha, BitUniverse, and others. In 2017, it entered the top 10 companies in the Asia-Pacific region for offering the best payments solutions.

We’re proud to say that Toncoin is now tradable directly with the Taiwanese local currency, TWD.

A new grant program from Getgems and TON Diamonds.

At the beginning of June, Getgems and TON Diamonds collaborated to launch a grant program for smart contract developers worth 8,000 Toncoin.

Today, they published some initial results: Two teams of independent developers will receive 4,000 Toncoin for having written an NFT auction smart contract.

Website security service Cloudflare suffered outages in its worldwide networks.

Today, Cloudflare, a company that provides network services to millions of sites, experienced failures that adversely affected vast areas of the internet.

Many services and sites were rendered unusable, such as popular messenger Discord, news aggregator Feedly, food delivery service DoorDash, and many more. The issues have been fixed.

On multiple occasions, the TON Foundation has said that the current iteration of the internet has become too fragile due to centralized corporations dominating the space and that similar outages will occur, disrupting millions of users.

Achieving a high level of network security is only possible through decentralization.

In a new article, the TON Foundation explains how the TON blockchain can play a crucial role in the battle for decentralization and replacing the current cloud solutions by becoming a decentralized meta cloud: https://telegra.ph/TON--The-metacloud-06-15

The largest non-custodial crypto wallet in Southeast Asia, Coin98, has added support for TON.

Users can now store and transact with Toncoin directly in the app.

Coin98 Finance is a multichain DeFi platform with over 2 million users and over 50 blockchains.

The company manages a popular non-custodial multi-currency NFT wallet, Coin98 Wallet, and its own DEX, Coin98 Exchange.

Over the past month, TON has established partnerships with a deep lineup of Asian platforms. For example, Toncoin has been listed by regional crypto exchanges, such as MEXC, Unocoin, Matrixport, BitoPro, and others.

We’re pleased to see how the TON project continues its expansion in Asian markets.

Up to $100,000 could be rewarded for finding a vulnerability in the TON blockchain’s code.

We’d like to remind our readers that the TON Bug Bounty program is always ongoing, whereby any programmer can be rewarded for uncovering a vulnerability.

The reward size depends on how critical the bug is and can reach $100,000.

Jettons in Tonkeeper.

The Tonkeeper crypto wallet has developed the means to support Jettons and now has the capacity to display the balances of custom tokens.

Interacting with Jettons is just as easy as with Toncoin. Tonkeeper users can view transaction histories and receive and send the tokens to any address in just a few clicks.

Users don’t have to import wrapped versions of these tokens manually, like MetaMask. Any Jetton sent to a Tonkeeper wallet address is automatically displayed in the wallet.

It’s important to note that all transactions on The Open Network are paid in Toncoin; therefore, there should always be a small amount of Toncoin to complete transactions.

We published a lengthy article covering Jettons a while ago (we recommend you read it), but today, we’ll reiterate the gist: Jettons are all the other cryptocurrencies on TON — but Toncoin is not a Jetton.

The TON ecosystem is about to see the launch of more Jettons, but most of them come from NFT game creators and TON-based services.

In the future, a lot of these tokens will gain value and trade on crypto exchanges with the likes of Toncoin and other giant cryptocurrencies. We’re excited that the network is getting fully functional instruments to interact with altcoins.

We’d also like to note that Jetton support is also available in other crypto wallets, such as Tonhub and Scaleton.

Toncoin mining has ended.

A significant event occurred on The Open Network today: Miners mined the last Toncoin from the PoW Giver smart contracts, marking the end of the initial token distribution phase.

TON mining was the most critical step in the network’s development.

TON mining’s birthday is considered to be July 6, 2020. On that day, the Telegram team published a guide on the project’s site, and all the available tokens (98.55% of the total supply) were sent to special smart contracts, from which anyone could mine Toncoin over the past two years.

The Open Network project didn’t have an ICO, IEO, or other forms of initial token sales after issuance. Instead, Toncoin was available through mining, which helped disseminate the cryptocurrency to hundreds of thousands of users.

Now that the Toncoin mining era has ended, the only way to earn new coins is by staking TON, which is poised to become a prominent industry.

The amount of new Toncoin entering circulation will decrease by 200,000–250,000 coins per day, a 75% decrease.

The TON Foundation has published an article that describes in detail the history of TON mining, its vital role in the network’s decentralization, and the future development of the blockchain.
