TON Community

2021-11-30 17:28:22 We pay lots of attention to simplicity of our apps and services.

You might have noticed that our wallets and other apps contain almost no technical information. What you see is animated stickers, not transaction hashes or block heights.

The only tech info you’ll find is your wallet address, which is no harder than card or phone number. But it will be dropped soon, too – once TON DNS goes live, everyone will be able to register a short username and use it instead.

People don’t need to get under the hood of the blockchain to start using it. Blockchain’s advantages such as privacy and security should be available to everyone.

We’re often asked if we’re planning a full-fledged TON blockchain explorer (a service that scans blocks and transactions). Development of such an explorer is not on our top priority list because we believe average user won’t need it.

Whenever you send transfer to a friend using your regular mobile banking, you don’t need to go to ‘banking explorer’ afterwards or launch Internet traffic scanner to make sure the money’s indeed been sent. We’ll release a full-fledged explorer, sure, but it’ll be used by devs for debugging – average users simply won’t need it.

Most of the existing interfaces were created during the era of blockchains of the past. You send coins and wait anywhere between 10 minutes and a couple of hours, usually not even sure if your transfer will be processed.

In TON, transactions are cheap and almost instant. A modern tech now gives us an opportunity to redefine and simplify people’s interaction with blockchain. Open / Comment

2021-11-29 10:17:37 Check out the TON Apps section on TON’s official website.

This new section is where you can find all the apps and services that are native to the TON blockchain, which includes crypto wallets and links to exchanges where you can get Toncoin.

It’s akin to the App Store or Google Play, but for TON’s blockchain.

Among the many apps are interesting and useful utilities, such as Tonometer, a Telegram bot that tracks the price of Toncoin, and TON Grafana, a web interface that provides technical data on the blockchain’s current state.

We recommend you add TON Apps to your “Favorites” in your web browser so you can stay up-to-date with the ever-expanding TON ecosystem Open / Comment

2021-11-27 17:05:52 ​​Liquidity pools on the PancakeSwap crypto exchange.

Today, we’re going to tell you about something useful you can do with your Toncoin: providing liquidity in pools for token pairs.

Users can now provide Toncoin liquidity in token pools and, as an incentive, receive commission from transaction fees, which are paid by other users for their transactions on a decentralized exchange.

We’ve put together a detailed guide in which we explain what liquidity pools are, why they’re needed, and how to use them, for example, on PancakeSwap:

2021-11-22 14:04:12 ​​Upcoming TON features.

In our chat channel, we often receive questions about future developments of TON and what the developers are working on at the moment.

Let us take this opportunity to remind you that the 126-page white-paper is available on our official website, and it describes in detail the underlying technology and the vision TON has for the project.

The project’s roadmap can be found in our official Primer.

To have a better understanding of the project, we recommend you read these two files. Today, as a teaser for the community, we’ve put together a list of exciting products slated to launch in the near future.

TON Nominators.

We’ve already told you a little about TON Nominators. Due to the network’s rapid growth and Toncoin listings on exchanges, the developers have been forced to reprioritize their list of things to do, but the Ton Nominators update will soon be completed.

TON Payments.

Planned release: End of 2021.

The team of developers is planning on releasing a token standard that is native to the TON blockchain — i.e., alternative cryptocurrencies on the network in addition to Toncoin, as well as NFTs.

TON Payments uses Lightning Network technology to establish payment channels for micropayments. Why implement payment channels when TON already has quick transactions with low fees? Because they’ll be used where astronomical speeds for mutual settlements are needed when using the TON Proxy, for example.

TON DNS.

Planned release: Q1 2022.

TON DNS is a system of domain names on the TON blockchain. It won’t be used strictly for TON Sites, but users will also be able to buy a short username and use it instead of a long crypto wallet address when sending or receiving crypto.

Domain names will be sold at an open auction.

TON DeFi.

Planned release: Q1 2022.

TON DeFi is an ecosystem of financial services and apps on the TON blockchain — e.g., decentralized exchanges. The incumbent DeFi protocols have some glaring disadvantages: They’re either too expensive to use, too slow, or lacking security.

TON will be offering a DeFi platform whose fees are low and the transactions are fast.

TON Proxy.

Planned release: First half of 2022.

TON Proxy is an anonymous proxy/anonymizer for TON nodes. In short, it’s a VPN based on the TON blockchain that’s available to everyone. TON DNS and TON Proxy will provide users with decentralization and security.

TON Sites.

Planned release: First half of 2022.

These are sites with the domain name “.ton” based on the TON blockchain. They’ll be similar to regular internet resources — but decentralized.

TON Storage.

Planned release: 2022.

This is distributed file storage technology. In a nutshell, it’s a better version of Dropbox. It’ll allow the storage and transfer of large volumes of data.

TON is already a stable and fully functional blockchain.

We’re expecting big things for the TON ecosystem in 2022 and for it to expand on a global scale. Open / Comment

2021-11-18 21:36:47 Welcome to the TON Community!

- What is TON?

TON is an ultra-fast and user-friendly blockchain designed to host individual users and enterprises. The project was created by Telegram founder Pavel Durov and his brother, Nikolai, in 2017, but three short years later, Telegram walked away from the project for good.

TON is led by an open-source community of experienced developers consisting of some of the best programmers in the world and Telegram blockchain contest winners. Applying its existing ecosystem of communities, developers, publishers, payment providers, and merchants, TON is uniquely positioned to establish the first-ever mass-market cryptocurrency in history.

- Where to start

To fully appreciate the ease of use of our apps, look no further than TON’s native Tonkeeper crypto wallet. As a non-custodial mobile wallet with a user-friendly interface and even built-in price charts and access to various cryptocurrency exchanges, Tonkeeper is the perfect app for users of all levels. If you prefer the user experience in Telegram, however, then give the @wallet and @CryptoBot bots a try. Users can now send crypto to their friends or other wallets in just a few seconds without leaving the Telegram app. For more resources, scroll down to find more links.

Download Tonkeeper.

- The TON experience

As you’ll quickly learn by using our apps, the experience of sending and receiving cryptocurrencies is smooth and user-friendly. In addition to convenient apps, low fees, and speedy transactions, the blockchain infrastructure is designed to be a robust ecosystem, which will be able to onboard billions of users and have the capacity to implement NFTs, DNS, DEXs, and much more.

- Why is this important?

Without the infinitely scalable TON blockchain, there can neither be a standard cryptocurrency used for the regular exchange of value in people’s everyday lives nor a decentralized platform that achieves true mass adoption. TON is the only way to free the internet that is otherwise forever chained to the goodwill of centralized services.

The native cryptocurrency of the TON blockchain is Toncoin.

Where to buy Toncoin:

Centralized platforms:
FTX — a top-3 crypto exchange according to CoinMarketCap.
OKEx — a top-5 crypto exchange by volume according to CoinMarketCap.
EXMO — the largest Eastern European crypto exchange.
Gate.io — the crypto exchange with the largest number of trading pairs.

Mercuryo — a convenient way to buy Toncoin with a bank card.
Neocrypto — another convenient way to buy Toncoin with a bank card.

@wallet — a Telegram bot to buy, store, and send Toncoin. Crypto and bank cards are accepted.
@CryptoBot — a Telegram bot to buy, store, and send Toncoin.

Decentralized platforms:
Uniswap — the world’s largest DEX protocol.
PancakeSwap — the largest DEX protocol on Binance Smart Chain.
