🏆 Frontend Contest: Frontend of DEX with liquidity pools, Stage 1.
Prize fund: $30 000 in Toncoins.
Deadline: 18:00 on Jan, 31 (UTC).
Task:
Create a frontend of DEX with liquidity pools for TON Blockchain.
In this stage, you need to create a working UI. Asynchronous calls to smart contracts must be mocked-up.
We require a UI for exchanging one token for another token, a UI for creating a pool with two tokens, a UI for adding and removing liquidity from a pool, a UI with a list of pools and pool statistics.
You can explore services like Uniswap and Pancake.
You must use the Typescript+React+Redux stack.
Extra dependencies and extra code are not welcome.
You can't use the idea of just copying the entire open-source Uniswap code - there is a lot of unnecessary code there.
When considering the design options, you can focus on the ton.org site, UI of standard wallets and bridge. You may find the brand assets page helpful.
We deliberately did not give ready-made references so that you have the opportunity to rethink some things in using such services.
Evaluation priorities: understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support, general correctness and speed of the application and attention to detail.
Who can take part: Anyone.
How do I submit:
Please comment on this issue on GitHub by attaching an archive or link to the open-source code with a solution, a description of the functionality, a description of the build process, your TON address to receive an award. Submission must be under the MIT license.
To avoid plagiarism, you can attach a link to a private repo to the submission, which you will make public after the deadline.

Results of contest Frontend of DEX with liquidity pools, Stage 1.
Unfortunately, no submissions meet our quality requirements.
Unfortunately, no submissions meet our quality requirements.
In addition to today's results
We set high standards on the quality and speed of development to ourselves and hope to see this in contests submissions.
In the recent DEX Frontend contest, participants were tasked to make the simple UI without functionality. We have provided references, enough time and a good prize fund.
The winners also may have received support to continue developing the DEX as a full-fledged product or an invitation to become part of the TON core team.
Unfortunately, the submissions for this contest were unprofessional and not diligent. We believe that would be wrong to reward low-quality works.
Please note that in the previous contests [1], [2], the participants who completed the task received good prizes, their works have the real application, and some participants were invited to work in the core team.
We will continue to run contests and will always encourage, help and support good work.
Note that there is still no huge competition in TON contests, this is a good chance to take the main prizes for people who are able to program with high quality and be attentive to details.

TON Docs
Welcome to TON Blockchain documentation - TON Docs
Meet the next generation of TON documentation. AI-native, beautiful out-of-the-box, and built for developers.
The Hack-a-TON is about to begin! 😎
The TON Foundation has just introduced a new technology — TON Payments or Payment Channels. More information is in the article.
The Task
Come up with an idea of how to use Payment Channels in the most useful way and make a prototype in under 48 hours. Gaming, streaming, traffic, finance or any other field.
Presentations without a prototype will also be accepted, although having a prototype increases the chances of winning.
Evaluation Criteria
This Hack-a-TON is all about a great idea and its presentation.
There will be no stability or security testing. You can assume that the parts of the payment channel are not trying to deceive each other and not to implement an uncooperative closing of the channel. Only a positive scenario is enough.
Don’t forget to create a website that demonstrates your idea and have:
— 2-minutes video of your project (screencast is also suitable).
— presentation.
— functional prototype.
— open code repository (optional).
You can host the website on GitHub Pages.
Toolkit
Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert in cryptography or smart contracts in order to work with TON Payments. You can use ready JavaScript SDK — https://github.com/toncenter/tonweb.
An example of how to create and close a payment channel, as well as sign and verify transfers - https://github.com/toncenter/payment-channels-example.
You can use any kind of communication protocols — Web-Sockets, REST HTTP or others.
Your prototypes must work in the TON test network — https://ton.org/docs/#/testnet/
A bot for Hack-a-TON participants to get test coins — @testgiver_ton_bot
We do not limit you in the toolset, you can use anything you want.

Announcing the results of the first-ever Hack-a-TON! ✨
We received 2,463 team registrations and over 80 submissions. You all did a fascinating job. The TON Foundation team had the pleasure of reviewing them during the week. The ideas are so cool that we decided to double the prize pool. This means that both first-place teams will receive 20,000 TON each; second-place teams will receive 10,000 TON each; and third-place teams will receive 5,000 TON each.
1st place - 20,000 TON each:
🥇OnlyTONs
🥇OnlyGrams
These two projects showed us how TON Payments could revolutionize social media. Imagine a new social network where a user makes a deposit of some TONs and then views photos, posts, and any other content. When a user opens a photo, likes it, or even just looks at one in their feed, a micro reward is sent in the background from the user to the author of that content. Amid decentralization and with no fees, the deposit is completely under the user’s control.
Two teams made quite similar MVPs. OnlyTONs worked more carefully on the design (a good-looking MVP, clear presentation, and video), while OnlyGrams paid more attention to the idea (pay-per-view, pay-per-reaction in MVP) and technical implementation (they adapted the payment channels code to another library, supported TON chrome extension).
2nd place - 10,000 TON each:
🥈TON API by botaem-js-48-chasov
🥈TON API by Tetrapak
Here TON Payments was applied in the infrastructure sphere. API (services that programmers use in their work) developers can get a micropayment for each request to their service. The number of requests can be in the billions, and the service’s clients will pay for as many requests as they make.
Two teams have also implemented similar solutions in this area. Despite the fact that this is a product for programmers, we wish that a little more attention was paid to the presentation.
3rd place - 5,000 TON each:
🥉Diamonds
🥉TON rock-paper-scissors
Diamonds suggested using TON Payments to pay for video streaming, specifically for learning platforms. Users pay what they spend on the stream.
TON rock-paper-scissors, using the simple rock-paper-scissors game as an example, showed how TON Payments could be applied to any PvP game. In this project, two participants enter the game and make bets. The winner takes the reward. Thanks to payment channels, participants can play all day long without network fees.
1,000 TON goes to each of the following ideas:
🎖TON Ads
🎖TON Calls
🎖Pixel TON
🎖DO-L
🎖The Open Wallet
13 teams will get bonus reward 500 TON each:
