Projects that have received TON grants.
You’re probably aware that there are a few funds and initiatives in the TON ecosystem that are dedicated to the blockchain’s development and supporting developers.
The projects of the following organizations kicked off at the end of summer. Today, we’re going to tell you about two teams that have received grants from the TON Foundation’s grants and sponsorship program.
Tonana DeFi Hub.
This project is developing decentralized cross-chain swaps and bridges between TON and other networks.
Today, Tonana Bridge supports token swaps between TON, Solana, Cosmos, and Near Protocol, but in the near future, developers will add support for Ethereum and BNB Chain.
DataTON Analytics.
This is a service that provides security for users of The Open Network.
The platform conducts automatic analyses and flags nefarious blockchain addresses with a special mark. It also allows users to submit complaints about suspicious addresses.
The project’s team intends to integrate the service into every popular TON wallet and explorer. This way, users will be able to identify phishing addresses, scammers, spammers, and vulnerable smart contracts directly in mobile applications.
DataTON Analytics began development not long ago, but it is looking for contributors and new team members.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg regarding the number of projects receiving funding support from the TON Foundation’s grant and sponsorship program.
Stay tuned because we’ll be introducing you to other participants of the grant and sponsorship program shortly.

TON’s knowledge library on Stack Overflow.
The TON Foundation is launching an awards program for TON developers and enthusiasts who contribute to The Open Network’s knowledge library on the Stack Overflow platform.
Once per month, the most active participants who pose questions about TON and those who answer the questions of other users will receive prizes in Toncoin and NFTs.
You can read more details about the new program here:
https://xn--r1a.website/tonsociety/50
What is Stack Overflow?
Stack Overflow is a site of questions and answers for programmers and is one of the most prominent coding resources in the world.
The platform’s knowledge library holds millions of questions and tens of millions of answers. The site sees over 100 million visitors per month.
Why is this platform important for TON?
Programmers often come across the same issues when coding.
Therefore, a robust database of questions and answers allows developers to find solutions to problems quickly and effectively without spending hours reading chats covering the specialized topic.
We encourage all coding specialists to join the building of TON’s knowledge library and potentially win prizes.

GetBlock has added support for TON.
This news will be especially interesting for technical specialists and product developers on The Open Network.
In general, however, this is a meaningful event for the TON ecosystem, so we want to share it with the entire community.
In August, GetBlock, one of the most reliable API suppliers whose services are used by over 40 blockchains, including BNB Chain, Polygon, and Ethereum, has launched shared and dedicated nodes on TON.
What is GetBlock, and what does this mean for TON?
In simple terms, GetBlock is an infrastructure for creating decentralized applications, greatly simplifying the lives of blockchain developers.
GetBlock helps product creators to avoid doing complex and expensive work when launching nodes, effectively allowing specialists to concentrate their resources on the development instead of monitoring access to the blockchain.
GetBlock is also a solution to their own light-servers for sensitive services needing higher reliability than public nodes or APIs.
Developer support has always been one of The Open Network’s top priorities for the proliferation of the project.
Now, thanks to GetBlock, the entry barrier to begin developing products on TON has just become significantly lower.

The Open Network and Huobi are revealing more of their massive joint promo campaign. Today, the exchange is starting CandyDrop Toncoin, where participants can win 25,000 Toncoin by meeting specific requirements.
Moreover, five randomly selected participants will win the CandyDrop Lucky Star worth 100 Tether (USDT).

To be eligible for the CandyDrop, a user’s average trade volume for the TON/USDT pair over the past three days must be at least 300 USDT.
To put it differently, your total volume over the three days must be no less than 300 USDT. For example, you can make two trades for 150 USDT today, and tomorrow, you can make one for 300 USDT and qualify for CandyDrop.
What’s important is that the average of your trading volume over the three days equals 100 USDT or more.
If your average trading volume meets the criterion, you will qualify for a chance to win 25,000 Toncoin. The winners will be randomly selected.
We’ve put together a simple guide explaining how to register for the CandyDrop Toncoin:

DEXs on The Open Network.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) on The Open Network continues to grow. Currently, there are a few decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the ecosystem where you can exchange Toncoin for other tokens.
These platforms are in different stages of development, however. Some are still in the testnet phase, while others have already launched on the mainnet and are ready for users.
Today, we’ll tell you about a few of these DEXs based on TON.
Please note: The TON Foundation and TON Community have no affiliations with the projects mentioned below. They have not undergone a technical audit, meaning the quality of each project is still unknown. We urge everyone to be careful when interacting with projects in early-stage development.
STON.fi.
This is a DEX that’s launched on the mainnet.
The platform sets itself apart because it’s slated to be the first to list Fanzee’s token, FNZ. (We’ve already discussed the Fanzee project and its upcoming IDO on the Tonstarter launchpad.)
STON.fi is a fully functional TON-based DEX where users can already make transactions with their Toncoin.
Tegro TON.
The DEX from Tegro is currently in the testnet version, and the project’s team is actively working on putting the finishing touches before launching on the mainnet.
To participate in the testnet trials, you must go through wallet verification via the Tegro TON Bot, with prizes to be won by testers.
Tegro TON has also recently launched a bug bounty program that offers rewards to those who find vulnerabilities in Tegro.Finance.
TonSwap Bot.
This decentralized exchange has open-source code and a web bot interface in Telegram. It’s currently in beta testing.
The project’s team plans on making a few popular cryptocurrencies available, such as Wrapped BTC, Wrapped ETH, and Wrapped USDC. It will also let users become liquidity providers in the future.
Ozys.io.
The team at Ozys, a DeFi infrastructure provider in South Korea with over 40 in-house developers, is also working on its own DEX.
The TON Alphanonce-VistaLabs fund announced the TON Ecosystem Builders (TEB), an organization overseeing integrations with TON.
TEB has announced a partnership with Ozys. The company is experienced in developing bridges and DEXs with a total value locked (TVL) north of $600 million on various blockchains.
Ozys plans on launching its DEX in October or November.
The DeFi sector on TON is barely nascent, which means trading activity is only going to intensify as more DEXs make their way to the mainnet.
Meanwhile, new tokens constantly pop up on TON, with DEXs likewise appearing that are ready to list them.
We’re anticipating DEXs to ramp up their efforts to operate at full capacity shortly and prepare themselves for the many new tokens vying to be listed for trading.

Conor McGregor posted a video with a hidden Easter egg of the TON blockchain.
Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor tweeted an animated video in which a reference to The Open Network could be seen twice, the famous TON diamond from the official site ton.org.
The video also contains other hidden Easter eggs of well-known crypto services and projects, including CoinMarketCap, Polygon, Mercuryo, Web3Auth, and others.
We’re stoked that among the video’s creators are TON blockchain fans, but we’ll tease you a bit by saying this newsworthy story may continue.
You can find McGregor’s tweet here, but Telegram users can view the video here:

Toncoin perpetual swaps are available on the crypto exchange Bit.com.
Today at 10:00 (UTC), the Bit.com crypto exchange launched Toncoin perpetual swap trading.
Bit.com joins FTX as the only two platforms to offer perpetual swaps with the TON-native cryptocurrency.
However, Gate.io also offers perpetual Toncoin swaps, but in its wrapped version.
We’re pleased to know that Toncoin trading is expanding; however, perpetual swaps are geared toward more advanced traders, so we recommend beginners to be extra careful when engaging with this instrument.

Freelancers will be able to receive pay in Toncoin for work through the MadeTask service.
We’re happy to inform you that MadeTask, a payments service for worldwide freelancers, has integrated the Toncoin cryptocurrency.
Now, remote workers will be able to withdraw their salaries in the form of TON while staying compliant with the law.
How does it work?
MadeTask is a platform where companies and thousands of freelancers collaborate safely and transparently.
The two sides agree on a price or rate for a task — e.g., $100 for a project.
Once the task is completed, the $100 is added to the freelancer’s balance on the platform, and they can choose to withdraw it in rubles, dollars, euros, or Toncoin.
This method allows freelancers who wish to avoid using traditional finance avenues to receive their pay anonymously in the form of crypto.
Because of this, companies will be able to expand the pool of remote workers to those who prefer payments in crypto over transfers to bank cards or electronic wallets, such as PayPal.
Toncoin continues to make us proud by finding new ways to serve people in their everyday lives.
There are already thousands of freelancers from 90 countries worldwide who work with MadeTask.
Of course, Toncoin’s integration into MadeTask’s platform will be a crucial step toward mass adoption of the TON blockchain.

Tonkeeper now supports TON DNS and has made its code open-source.
The first half of September saw Tonkeeper achieve two major milestones.
Firstly, the crypto wallet app released an update that simplifies user interaction with TON DNS. Now, you can assign your domain names to any TON address — either your personal wallet or any other address — directly within the mobile app. Another new function also allows users to create an address book.
Secondly, the Tonkeeper team has made its source code public, making the app’s development process fully transparent. In other words, any user can go to the wallet’s GitHub, examine the code (in search of vulnerabilities, for example), pose questions, and make suggestions.
These two moments are a crucial step forward for The Open Network’s most popular crypto wallet. The Tonkeeper team shares more details in a separate article:

Telegram's references to TON
It has been a while since Telegram shut down Gram, a cryptocurrency based on the Telegram Open Network blockchain. For more than a year, Telegram's legacy stayed under deep water until Pavel Durov decided to transfer original repositories to the developer community in late 2021. With the new Telegram updates, including full-screen and video emojis, and emoji statuses, the number of references to Toncoin (or Gram?) continued increasing.
In 2021, Telegram kicked off a new update that added video calls and, more importantly, animated emojis. Over the last year, the messenger app constantly implemented more and more animated emojis. Once there was added 👛 (click on it to see in full-size) that featured Toncoin's symbol. Later appeared 💱 that showed the process of changing fiat currency to TON.
Telegram did not limit itself to making allusions to TON on build-in emojis and, with the recent 9.0 update, rolled out the emoji pack with different icons related to the messenger app. Among dozens of emojis, there was one everyone knows —💎 .
Moreover, Telegram designers usually create fancy illustrations for every major update. And, interestingly, they sometimes depict Toncoin's image — a diamond. In the last picture, you can see the diamond lying on the ground to the right of the house. Earlier, the brilliant appeared with the 8.5 update on a table in the laboratory.
It is still unknown why the Telegram team continues to feature either their abandoned project or spiritual successor (it depends on your attitude to these references). However, we believe we will get more answers as soon as June 2023 approaches, alongside the end of prohibiting the integration of cryptocurrencies based on Gram.
