βCommunity initiative to optimize tokenomics.
The @tonblockchain channel has published a proposal to optimize tokenomics in the TON network.
We publish this proposal and encourage to join its discussion in the comments.
βA Community Proposal for Tokenomics Optimization
On December 17, in response to repeated requests for greater certainty, clarity and transparency over the tokenomics of the TON network, the community has called for all early miners to activate their inactive mining wallets by the end of 2022.
Out of the 204 inactive mining wallets identified by the community, 195 wallets holding 1,081,426,228 Toncoin remain inactive today. These mining wallets β the genesis wallets that have mined Toncoin directly from the Proof-of-Work smart-contracts β have never been activated and do not have a single outgoing transfer in their history.
Toncoin is a gas required to access decentralized services on the TON network. It has been widely speculated that access to these inactive wallets may have been lost. What is clear is that there is a community consensus: the existence of these unutilized Toncoin only increases the uncertainty for the network participants.
TON is a community-driven blockchain, and we believe that the network validators should listen to the voice of the community.
Therefore, we are suggesting a validator vote for the proposal of tokenomics optimization, one that enables these inactive mining wallets to remain inactive for a certain period of time.
In spite of many community members pushing for a permanent inactivation, we believe in preserving the very idea that keeps us as one community: decentralization. For this reason, we are suggesting this period to be 48 months. This will give the TON ecosystem enough time to flourish while providing flexibility to those who may not be aware of these discussions in the community.
Like any network proposals, this will require at least 75% of the validator votes in two consecutive validation rounds to take effect.
The owners of the inactive mining wallets can always opt out by activating their wallets anytime before the end of February 15, 2023. The full list of inactive mining wallets can be found here: https://tontech.io/stats/early-miners.
We are proud that TON is a uniquely decentralized blockchain community. Our mission of decentralization can be achieved as long as we have the active participation of the community, which we have today.
We strongly encourage the community to discuss and voice their opinions about this proposal.β

The number of accounts on TON has surpassed 2 million!
The TON network can proudly say it now has 2 million accounts.
If you remember, the first million was reached in July 2022, so for the network to add another million in just six months is an impressive feat.
This uptick in acceleration can be attributed to the TON blockchainβs growing prowess, which offers TON DNS, TON Storage, and DeFi components, among others.
Although weβre excited to have reached this significant milestone, we know more good times lie ahead.

βToncoin options are live on cryptocurrency exchange BIT
Toncoin (TON) stands alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as the third cryptocurrency available for options trading on Bit.com. This is a huge step forward for both the TON Ecosystem and wider cryptocurrency market. Also in the pipeline is for TON to be available on Paradigm, the institutional liquidity network for derivatives traders, making our token even more accessible to customers. This product launch has been made possible in collaboration with Darley Technologies and DWF Labs.
What is 'options trading'?
Options trading is a type of financial contract that gives owners the opportunity, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a prearranged price before a certain time. Options are a great way for crypto investors to manage their exposure and speculate on the future price of an asset with relatively low-risk.
What happens next?
In short, this sets the stage for TON to become one of the most actively traded digital tokens in the crypto options market. This is another use case for TON that significantly increases its accessibility to both institutional and retail traders. This new product offering, in combination with TON's innovative technology, positions TON for further success.

βTON's 2023 roadmap
The TON Foundation has updated its roadmap for 2023 and published a statement on the matter.
You can read the foundation's message here:
βTON Roadmap 2023
The roadmap for this year has been put together and published.
Over the last year, an ecosystem of various TON products has been rapidly built, ranging from decentralized exchanges and multifunctional wallets to marketplaces and blockchain games. Components of The Open Network were also launched including: TON DNS, TON Payments, TON Proxy, TON Sites, and TON Storage.
The first half of this year will be dedicated to harmonizing, improving and optimizing all of our current development projects to make TON as useful and convenient as possible for users.
The roadmap includes many TON improvements specifically designed to meet the needs of TON developers, providing them with the tools and resources they previously lacked.
TON is the only modern blockchain finding new, sometimes unexpected, ways to attract users. In the second half of the year, we aim to surpass all of our previous efforts with the goal of bringing even more users to TON.
Because we always try to solve the most pressing problems, and events are dynamically changing, Q3 and Q4 are not completely filled-in and additions will be made as our work progresses.
In technical terms, TON already surpasses all other existing blockchains by a large margin.
In order to confirm this, we have planned a show to demonstrate the real performance of TON and its ability to scale under heavy load.
Further developments for TON Proxy, TON Payments and TON Storage are described on separate pages.β

The roadmap for this year has been put together and published.
Over the last year, an ecosystem of various TON products has been rapidly built, ranging from decentralized exchanges and multifunctional wallets to marketplaces and blockchain games. Components of The Open Network were also launched including: TON DNS, TON Payments, TON Proxy, TON Sites, and TON Storage.
The first half of this year will be dedicated to harmonizing, improving and optimizing all of our current development projects to make TON as useful and convenient as possible for users.
The roadmap includes many TON improvements specifically designed to meet the needs of TON developers, providing them with the tools and resources they previously lacked.
TON is the only modern blockchain finding new, sometimes unexpected, ways to attract users. In the second half of the year, we aim to surpass all of our previous efforts with the goal of bringing even more users to TON.
Because we always try to solve the most pressing problems, and events are dynamically changing, Q3 and Q4 are not completely filled-in and additions will be made as our work progresses.
In technical terms, TON already surpasses all other existing blockchains by a large margin.
In order to confirm this, we have planned a show to demonstrate the real performance of TON and its ability to scale under heavy load.
Further developments for TON Proxy, TON Payments and TON Storage are described on separate pages.β

βThe Open Challenge: a reward program for projects on TON that increase the TVL in the ecosystem.
The TON Foundation has launched The Open Challenge, a $20 million program aimed at increasing TVL in the TON ecosystem.
The program is open to any DeFi project that contributes to bringing liquidity to the ecosystem, whether it's DEXes, Bridges or Tokens.
Rewards will be distributed on a quarterly basis and the amount will depend on the amount of funds that the product can attract.
The launch of the program is an important step for the TON DeFi segment.
The Open Challenge will accelerate the development of decentralized finance on TON and give Web3 teams from other blockchains the motivation to create in-demand DeFi solutions on The Open Network.
If you want to participate in the program, you need to read its full terms and conditions and register:

The first opportunity to stake Jettons in the TON ecosystem
On Feb. 1, Fanzee launched its staking program powered by smart contracts, the first DeFi instrument allowing the staking of TON-based Jettons in TONβs history.
Users have three options for fixed staking β three, six, or 12 months β whereby participants receive special Bond NFTs that help guarantee liquidity for their staked coins.
The TON ecosystem is beginning to churn out more DeFi solutions, and weβre confident that Fanzeeβs example is going to inspire more developers to build even better products and services.
