Give me TON!

2022-01-28 09:27:06 Kirill Emelyanenko (the second person who launched The Open Network along with tolya-yanot) released the first version of the standard for a smart contract for NFT.

The NFT protocol standard was recently released on his github.
Link: github.com/EmelyanenkoK/nft-standard-draft

This protocol is based on the original smart contract from the TonWhales team, but has several new features:

1. The editor role has been added. The contract code and the content of the NFT can be changed by the editor after its publication!
The editor_address field has also been added to the information about NFT.

2. Collections smart contract standard has been added, which can publish and manage an entire group of participants using a single NFT smart contract.
The NFT group members will differ from each other by an ordinal number.

The bright NFT-future in TON is coming!

2022-01-28 02:10:04 Another important member of the TON core team — EmelyanenkoK

PhD in computer science and multiple winner of Telegram Contests. He began to study blockchain technology in depth from the earliest stages of its formation, working with various types of decentralized networks.

Kirill met Anatoliy Makosov at the TON Blockchain Contests, which was held by the Telegram team in 2019, where both took first places.

In tandem with tolya-yanot, he took part in the development of Orion Protocol, the well-known DEX & CEX aggregation protocol. While working on this project, they realized that they are working very effectively together, and that after the stage of aggregation of exchanges and liquidity pools, another revolution is inevitably going to happen — the aggregation of blockchains.

After all, they decided to devote all their time to TON development.

2022-01-23 10:20:11 Highly qualified specialists from large corporations join TON team

VK.com former CEO Andrei Rogozov has joined the TON blockchain project. He will curate the creation of various products for the blockchain platform from development teams. In VK, he will continue his work as an adviser.

And VK (aka Mail.ru Group before rebranding) in 2020 became the top 3 most successful app publishers in Europe.

A couple of facts about Andrei Rogozov:

1. For 5 years he was Durov's deputy — which means he was part of his closest circle. Now the issues of integration of TON and Telegram will happen like clockwork.

2. He has been the CEO of VK for 7 years — which means Andrey has extensive experience in how to lead development teams, and there is no doubt about his expertise.

3. He was Durov's deputy for the product — which means he is guided by the same perfectionist approach that we observed in the VK of Durov's time and now in Telegram.

Summary: in a few months, top infrastructure solutions will begin to appear in TON, which will immediately find their audience through integration into Telegram.

So it's very serious. Although does anyone else doubt it?

2022-01-21 19:53:42 Toncoins distribution

96%, specifically 4.8 out of 5 billion Toncoins were distributed between 248 addresses (investigation based on ton.sh).

Lets analyze once and for all the first point about the "unfair" distribution of coins. It looks like this exactly until you begin to understand what the norm is in general. And the norm is as follows:

1. 95% of Bitcoins are stored on 2% of wallets. How did it grow 200 times in 5 years? And whales did not flood the market with their coins at all. How did it happen? After all, the "experts" claim that this is a clear sign of a scam.

2. In Solana, 3.8% of all coins are owned by ONE WALLET.
The TOP 10 wallets own 15% of all coins. This coin, let me remind you, gave x100 in a year. So what? Did she scam us?) Is this a sure sign?

3. In Binance Smart Chain, the TOP 5 wallets own 20% of the coins. And in general, this is a kind of semi-centralized blockchain of our beloved Binance exchange. Which we recently tearfully asked for TON listing.
And what comes out? Is this also a scam? And then why do we use this exchange and holding funds?:)
Because if BSC scams, then Binance will most likely collapse.

By the way, BNB was the best investment in whole life of founder of this channel. A long time ago, he still bought 30 coins for one dollar and kept up to 600$. Frankly, he just forgot that owned them on wallet:)
600x, damn it!

And do you know what the most interesting thing is?

In all the examples listed, the owners of these wallets are unknown. And there is no confirmation that 10-15 of the largest wallets in each blockchain do not belong to one person.

Well, KO: 1% of the world's population owns more property than the other 99%.
And what, my dears, is planet Earth scam?)
It seems that we are still living in such unbalanced conditions.

2022-01-18 09:19:35 Oleg Andreev's AMA-session

We have discussed Tonkeeper in previous post so its interesting to notice that in early November Tonkeeper developer Oleg Andreev participated in OKEx AMA-session.

We are welcome you to read it on our site: link.

One of the most important news from Oleg Andreev in our opinion:

Currently, TON is an instant peer-to-peer payments system with low transaction fees that’s very easy to use. In a collaboration with the TON dev community, at Tonkeeper we are working on cool new payment features, that are easier and safer than credit cards and not vulnerable to censorship by a centralized payment gateways.

More specifically, we are building truly peer-to-peer subscription service that will let content creators offer exclusive content to their followers for monthly/weekly payments. That would leverage TON’s smart contract features in order to offer users complete control over their wallet. It will be easy to use both for the creators and users, but there will no central org to hold accounts and control payouts. It will be completely peer-to-peer. We are still working on this, so stay tuned for the updates.

This is for those who ask what use and demand Toncoin will have.

As you know this feature of subscriptions had been released in December along with @donate. And its just one feature of many! Open / Comment

2022-01-18 02:15:21 Tonkeeper — multi-currency wallet for TON with advanced functionality of native TON Wallet

Tonkeeper is an extended version of the native wallet and will support receiving, storing and sending wrapped Bitcoin and Ethereum through the bridges to this blockchains. And of course you can buy Toncoins right in the interface of a wallet and use liquidity pools.
Tonkeeper development is being managed by Oleg Andreev.

Tonkeeper supports paid subscriptions on closed channels via Toncoins. Wallet works on the last version of a smart-contract, which allows to make regular payments and together with @donate implement automatic write-offs in Toncoins similar to usual subscription procedure in the web.

In the near future in Tonkeeper:
• Recieve, store, and send Bitcoins and Etherium, more specifically their "wraps", working through bridges with this blockchains
• Buy Toncoins
• Use Liquidity Pools, where you can put your Toncoins on an analog of a cryptocurrency deposit and receive a percentage for it.

The wallet is in beta test and all this wonderful functionality is not there, but it will appear very soon. Follow the updates in the Give me TON channel!

The first synchronization of the mobile wallet after installation may take a while. If transactions and balance are not displayed after a few minutes, the wallet should be restarted.

In the meantime, you can register on Mercuryo and OKEx, so that by the time this functionality appears, you already have registration, KYC (identity verification) and quickly start using the Tonkeeper wallet. Ask any questions about wallets in comments. Open / Comment

2022-01-16 06:19:29 Buy, Store and Send Toncoin. How to?
