2022-05-28 18:48:21 Nominator pools

In the Q1 of this year, the first TON staking pools (nominator pools) were launched by the TonWhales team on their own smart contract. At the moment, users have staked more than 7.5M Toncoins in these pools!

Today we present an alternative version of the pool smart contract. This smart contract is natively integrated into the mytonctrl tool used by validators.

This means that now any validator can easily run their own pools and users can stake Toncoins into the pools and earn.

TON nominator pools are low-risk and are a kind of decentralized alternative to bank deposits.

The tonvalidators.org catalog has been created where validators can publish their pools, and users can find the most suitable pool for a stake.

2022-05-26 00:40:55 New testnet

Developers usually test their products on a testnet (a separate network where coins have no value) before launching them on the mainnet.

This week TON testnet was completely relaunched on powerful hardware to increase its stability and responsiveness. Testnet API, explorers, wallets and other testnet infrastructure have been updated.

We launched the previous testnet exactly a year ago, when there were not so many developers. We are glad to see that now the number of TON developers has increased greatly, so that the previous testnet, launched on rather weak hardware, has ceased to cope with the load. Open / Comment

2022-05-18 12:30:35 Mainnet validators please update your software to new version:

— in mytonctrl run update then upgrade https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

— if you don't use mytonctrl please manually rebuild code from master branch of https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

Update your validators one by one, don't update all at the same time. Open / Comment
