2023-01-26 18:01:26 ​Toncoin options are live on cryptocurrency exchange BIT

Toncoin (TON) stands alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as the third cryptocurrency available for options trading on Bit.com. This is a huge step forward for both the TON Ecosystem and wider cryptocurrency market. Also in the pipeline is for TON to be available on Paradigm, the institutional liquidity network for derivatives traders, making our token even more accessible to customers. This product launch has been made possible in collaboration with Darley Technologies and DWF Labs.

What is 'options trading'?

Options trading is a type of financial contract that gives owners the opportunity, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a prearranged price before a certain time. Options are a great way for crypto investors to manage their exposure and speculate on the future price of an asset with relatively low-risk.

What happens next?

In short, this sets the stage for TON to become one of the most actively traded digital tokens in the crypto options market. This is another use case for TON that significantly increases its accessibility to both institutional and retail traders. This new product offering, in combination with TON's innovative technology, positions TON for further success. Open / Comment

2023-01-25 22:34:09 The number of accounts on TON has surpassed 2 million!

The TON network can proudly say it now has 2 million accounts.

If you remember, the first million was reached in July 2022, so for the network to add another million in just six months is an impressive feat.

This uptick in acceleration can be attributed to the TON blockchain’s growing prowess, which offers TON DNS, TON Storage, and DeFi components, among others.

Although we’re excited to have reached this significant milestone, we know more good times lie ahead. Open / Comment

2023-01-24 22:53:06 The TON blockchain is now on CoinCodex.

Cryptocurrency data website CoinCodex has added a page for the TON blockchain to its site and listed the main TON-based tokens with the help of Tegro.

CoinCodex is a popular crypto data aggregator behind only CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko and has over 1.5 million monthly visitors.

Tegro didn’t stop at CoinCodex — it also got the TON blockchain and TON-based tokens listed on CoinCheckup and Coinpaprika. Open / Comment

2023-01-23 19:40:08 ​Community initiative to optimize tokenomics.

The @tonblockchain channel has published a proposal to optimize tokenomics in the TON network.

We publish this proposal and encourage to join its discussion in the comments.

“A Community Proposal for Tokenomics Optimization

On December 17, in response to repeated requests for greater certainty, clarity and transparency over the tokenomics of the TON network, the community has called for all early miners to activate their inactive mining wallets by the end of 2022.

Out of the 204 inactive mining wallets identified by the community, 195 wallets holding 1,081,426,228 Toncoin remain inactive today. These mining wallets — the genesis wallets that have mined Toncoin directly from the Proof-of-Work smart-contracts — have never been activated and do not have a single outgoing transfer in their history.

Toncoin is a gas required to access decentralized services on the TON network. It has been widely speculated that access to these inactive wallets may have been lost. What is clear is that there is a community consensus: the existence of these unutilized Toncoin only increases the uncertainty for the network participants.

TON is a community-driven blockchain, and we believe that the network validators should listen to the voice of the community.

Therefore, we are suggesting a validator vote for the proposal of tokenomics optimization, one that enables these inactive mining wallets to remain inactive for a certain period of time.

In spite of many community members pushing for a permanent inactivation, we believe in preserving the very idea that keeps us as one community: decentralization. For this reason, we are suggesting this period to be 48 months. This will give the TON ecosystem enough time to flourish while providing flexibility to those who may not be aware of these discussions in the community.

Like any network proposals, this will require at least 75% of the validator votes in two consecutive validation rounds to take effect.

The owners of the inactive mining wallets can always opt out by activating their wallets anytime before the end of February 15, 2023. The full list of inactive mining wallets can be found here: https://tontech.io/stats/early-miners.

We are proud that TON is a uniquely decentralized blockchain community. Our mission of decentralization can be achieved as long as we have the active participation of the community, which we have today.

We strongly encourage the community to discuss and voice their opinions about this proposal.” Open / Comment
