The Open Network

2021-11-12 04:09:50 Big update for TON Store

TON Store is a catalog of apps and dApps on The Open Network. Just like AppStore or GooglePlay, but for blockchains.

– The service has migrated to a new, short domain ton.app.

– Each app now has its own page with video, screenshots, and description.

– Users can comment on the applications and rate them.

A one-stop place for everything you need!

If you are a developer and have already started working on your TON project (it’s right about time), you can publish it on this platform. Open / Comment

2021-11-11 03:20:51 Frontend contest: TON status page

Prize fund: $30’000 in Toncoins (currently 10’000 TON).

Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 17 (UTC).

Task:
Create a web app and corresponding open-source backend, which display summarized data on the state and availability of TON Blockchain.

In particular, the page should display:
- Performance and block rate of TON chains: masterchain and basechain (note that there may be more than one shard on basechain)
- Performance and responsiveness of primary TON services: ton.org, ton.sh, toncenter.com
- TON/ETH and TON/BSC bridge operability status
- Status of main on-chain governance activity: validator elections, config votings, slashing.
- Public liteservers performance: response time and sync state
- Public DHT-servers performance
- Basic on-chain stats: tps, accounts activity, transferred amount by type, number of validators

API and integration with notification services (Telegram channel/bot) will increase your chances to win.

Evaluation priorities:
- The coverage and detail of basic metrics.
- Speed and aesthetic appearance.
- The complexity of the service deployment (we expect detailed instructions).
- Understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support.

Who can take part: Anyone.

2021-11-11 03:20:51 Frontend Contest: Frontend of DEX with liquidity pools, Stage 1.

Prize fund: 30 000 TON.

Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 30 (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.

2021-11-11 03:20:51 Non-technical Contest: Explanation of the blockchain

Prize fund: 1000 TON.

Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 17 (UTC).

Task:

Explain in English or Russian how the blockchain works in simple words.

This text should target an audience who are not familiar with blockchains.

The text should not be larger than 1-2 pages.

Explain the basic principles of blockchain technology (not just a specific one) - blocks, decentralized nodes, etc.

We want to make TON blockchain for people, not just geeks, to help everyone buy, store and transfer assets in a convenient, familiar way.

The clearest texts will be used in the corresponding sections of the ton.org and channels.

Who can take part: Anyone.

How do I submit: Please send a plain text message (not a file or Word document) to @toncontests_bot. Open / Comment

2021-11-11 03:20:51 Security Bug Bounty Program.

We have announced a permanent security bug bounty program.

If you find a critical bug or vulnerability in the TON Blockchain (in the C ++ code of the main repository) or TON main services (standard wallets, bridge, standard smart contracts), you can send its description and exploitation scenario and receive a reward.

We are interested in critical vulnerabilities: crash, loss/theft of coins, etc.

You can target a reward of up to $100,000 in Toncoins for vulnerability, depending on the severity.

Let's perfect the safety and security of TON together!

Send reports to @toncontests_bot.

We reserve the right not to review some reports. Open / Comment
