2024-04-16 11:00:08 ​TON Ecosystem Roundup

As TON continues to evolve and expand, this week brings several updates from five ecosystem projects: TONNEL Network, Tonkeeper, Gagarin Launchpad, TONX, and The Pixels. Let's take a closer look at their latest updates:

TONNEL Network

TONNEL Network, via its ZK-protocol, has introduced a smart contract enabling users to join a liquidity pool with a single transaction. Users can send Toncoin (TON) to a specific address, Zalp.ton, initiating an automated exchange of TON for $TONNEL at DeDust, adding both to the pool, and issuing LP tokens in return.

The Zalp Mini App further simplifies transactions for various tokens, making it easier to become a liquidity provider. It's important to note, the gas fee for the Zalping process is currently almost 1 TON, which includes gas and DeDust fees but not a platform fee.

Tonkeeper

Tonkeeper has launched Tonkeeper Pro for desktop, featuring a redesign, an enhanced dashboard, subscription for Pro users, and the introduction of promo codes. A standout feature is a visual diagram that displays the token distribution within a user’s wallet, offering an intuitive view of asset allocation. Additionally, the dashboard now includes wallet analytics, a tool especially useful for professionals using Tonkeeper in their daily business activities.

Gagarin Launchpad

Gagarin 2.0 enhances the TON Ecosystem with the TON-EVM Bridge, linking TON with Binance Smart Chain and improving tokenomics, refund policies, and offering extra perks for Tier holders. This open-source solution enables seamless token bridging between TON and EVM networks, broadening the reach of projects to TON's vast user base on Telegram and fostering cross-network liquidity. Watch a video tutorial here.

TONX

TONX has officially unveiled TonFura, the premier suite of RPC DEV tools designed to simplify and empower development projects on TON. To begin your journey in TON Blockchain development, start by registering a TonFura account today.

The Pixels
