The GAGARIN launchpad now offers on-chain staking powered by smart contract. Users can access 5 different options for fixed, TON-based token staking for different time periods.

This is second such DeFi solution available in the TON Ecosystem, following the recent release of a similar service by Fanzee.

As the ecosystem continues to grow, we specifically want to highlight solutions such as this that operate with limited human involvement and adhere to the core philosophy of Web3.

However, we would also like to remind users that TON Foundation and TON Community are not affiliated with the projects mentioned above, and any interaction with them is done at your own risk. Open / Comment

2023-02-25 19:47:55 ​TON is on Cointelegraph’s Top 100 list!

It was only two short months ago when we were celebrating The Open Network’s accomplishments of 2022, but the leaps and bounds TON made last year caught the attention of Cointelegraph, the crypto and blockchain industry’s No. 1 media news resource.

Cointelegraph releases an annual Top 100 list of the most influential and impactful people in the industry. This year, not only did it include TON on its list, but it ranked the TON blockchain 29th overall (and it was only one of three blockchains to make the list).

The article touches on TON’s history and highlights some of its biggest milestones, such as the launch of TON Storage and TON DNS and a trio of African nations adopting the TON blockchain on a government level.

When your blockchain gets recognition from the industry’s most prominent news site, you know you’re doing something right—it’s a testament to TON’s vision and philosophy for a decentralized Web3 internet.

Of course, we have to give credit where credit is due. TON is home to some of the brightest programming minds in the blockchain industry, and without them, TON’s landscape could have turned out vastly differently.

And last but not least, no network or blockchain would succeed without a supportive community, and the TON community is the life force driving our ecosystem, so pat yourselves on the back—we salute you!

Here’s to another fruitful year at TON; let the good times roll.
