2022-12-23 19:00:09 A competition to hack the smart contracts of Token Bridge with a total prize pool of $50,000

The TON Foundation has completed its testing of the smart contracts for the long-awaited Token Bridge, which will allow users to transfer any token from the Ethereum network or BNB Smart Chain to the TON blockchain and vice versa.

Cross-chain bridges that handle a large number of tokens and coins are often the target of hacker attacks.

Therefore, the TON Foundation is hosting a hacking competition to crack the Token Bridge’s smart contracts, offering a total prize pool of $50,000. If participants can uncover vulnerabilities in the bridge’s Solidity or FunC smart contracts, they’ll have a chance at receiving a reward from $200 all the way up to $25,000 (depending on the severity of the found vulnerabilities).

The competition will run until Dec. 30.

2022-12-23 18:00:32 Scams spotted in the TON ecosystem

We’ve noticed that scams have been on the rise lately and urge users to be extra careful when interacting with TON ecosystem services and products.

Remember:

Your secret recovery phrase is the only way to gain access to your crypto wallet. Never show it to people and try to avoid entering it on third-party sites and services.

No crypto wallet on the blockchain can be “blocked.” Any app claiming to “unblock” your wallet is a scam.

This is an excellent opportunity for everyone to brush up on our guide to digital safety. Open / Comment

2022-12-19 18:00:13 ​Hardware wallet SafePal has added support for TON’s mainnet.

Yesterday, hardware wallet SafePal added full support for the TON network and became the first device that allows users to keep their Toncoin in cold storage.

In addition to storing and sending crypto in SafePal’s hardware and app wallets, TON’s integration now lets users interact directly with its decentralized applications.

Moreover, SafePal plans to add TON mainnet support to its SafePal Extension Wallet for web browsers.

As part of the strategic partnership between SafePal and The Open Network, TON will offer a grant dedicated to the project’s development. Both sides will work on creating a secure, open, transparent, and compatible network that will provide the next step of integrating the blockchain.

We’ve written about the SafePal wallet in more detail in this post. Open / Comment
