2022-06-15 19:10:00 ​TON-based gaming.

Game development requires a substantial amount of time and resources — more than creating art. Therefore, the GameFi sector on The Open Network has yet to gain the same level of popularity as some NFT collections.

TON-based gaming has been under active development, nonetheless, and in the next few months, we can expect a lot of games currently prepping for a release to launch on TON.

Today, we’re going to introduce you to a few of them.

Grabscape

Grabscape is a play-to-earn card game under development that allows players to earn Toncoin while playing.

The game’s mechanic works as follows: Users obtain NFT playing cards with images of “Grabses” (anthropomorphic rats) and send them to mine the project’s tokens, which can be traded for Toncoin.

To farm tokens, players need to complete various tasks — e.g., “Like” Grabses of other players or participate in battles.

You can follow updates and Grabscape news on the project’s official site and Telegram channel.

G-Bots Game

G-Bots Game is a battle royal mobile game where players fight one another in a player-versus-player arena.

Owners of G-Bots NFTs will be able to log in to the game with their wallets and play with their NFT robots.

What’s interesting about this game is that it’s one of the few games on TON that has a working prototype where you can play and participate in its testing phase.

The beta version is available on smartphones iOS (Testflight) and Android (APK file).

You can stay up-to-date with the game’s developments on the official G-Bots Telegram channel.

Rich Cats

This is the first-ever customizable NFT game tailored for Telegram, a fascinating project that rose from the RuTON channel.

Rich Cats probably cannot be considered a game in the traditional sense; however, the project has an entertaining mechanic: Rich Cats NFT holders can alter the appearance of their NFT characters by buying clothes and accessories.

What’s more, the TON blockchain is the only network where such a function could be realized thanks to the NFTEditable extension.

Moreover, holders of these unique NFTs can show them off by using them as an avatar. The NFTs will also be integrated into RuTON services and Tonscan.org.

You can read an article reviewing Rich Cats NFT and follow news on the collection on the project’s official channel.

We can’t wait for the release of TON-based games and wish all their developers the best of luck! Open / Comment

2022-06-14 19:50:00 ​Paid subscriptions in Toncoin on Telegram.

We’re going to publish a series of posts on products that are integrated with Toncoin, and today, we want to tell you about the @donate service, an official partner of The Open Network.

@donate is a Telegram-verified payments service that allows content creators to host private channels with paid subscriptions and collect donations.

Currently, over 3,000 Telegram communities and channels work with the @donate bot.

@donate has two main functions:

1. Create a button on a channel to collect donations.
2. Enable recurring subscription payments on private channels.

Recurring payments is a convenient function that takes care of payments automatically for users. The @donate bot charges your account once per payment period, helping avoid manually making a payment every month manually.

@donate has one of the lowest commission fees on the market: no more than 5% per payment.

The bot also accepts payments in Toncoin and has a rewards program for creators who work with The Open Network’s native cryptocurrency.

Without a doubt, @donate is all-in on the future growth of TON and its thousands of users. We hope that the team can make these goals come to fruition. Open / Comment

Famous blogger and conceptual artist Ellen Sheidlin, who has 4.4 million subscribers on Instagram, is going to create an NFT collection of avatars and launch it on The Open Network.

The artist plans to release a small yet exclusive collection.

Ellen Sheidlin is a world-renowned creator.

Her work has graced exhibitions in France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and she’s won prestigious awards throughout her career.

The artist has created work for brands, such as Nike, Estée Lauder, Moncler, Bacardi, BMW, Instagram, Schwarzkopf, L’Oréal, and Coca-Cola, and has collaborated with musical group Little Big.

Many of our subscribers are most likely familiar with Ellen because some of her work has gone viral and, in turn, garnered lots of views and attention.

We’re so happy that a big-name creator has chosen TON to create NFTs, and we believe that the blockchain can become the place to be where thousands of talented people will be able to express themselves.

2022-06-09 20:36:37 ​Presenting @mobile — The newest product in the TON ecosystem.

@mobile (TonMobile) is a virtual phone number service that allows users to use an e-sim card in 58 countries, with payments made in Toncoin.

The service can also launch a VPN, but, in general, everything offered will come in handy for travelers because they’ll be able to get virtual SIM cards without having to go to a service provider’s shop or stand.

Once they enter one of the 58 supported countries, users can access an e-SIM and mobile internet with just a few clicks — with no ID or passport information required.

What’s more, @mobile plans to make improvements shortly: Prices for the service will decrease, and the list of supported countries will grow.

We’re pleased to see how services from various industries are developing interest in Toncoin for their process. We wish the TonMobile team all the best. Open / Comment
