✈️ Telegram Mini Apps now accept payments in Stars

💡 Since June 12th, there has been increasing news that various Mini Apps now allow purchases with Telegram Stars. A reminder: Stars is the internal currency recently introduced in Telegram to comply with Apple and Google's requirements for digital service payments.

⚫️ Currently, Telegram doesn't have a separate menu for buying Stars, but you can already purchase the currency by visiting one of the popular Mini Apps where payments were previously made in TON, and try buying some items.

⚫️ For instance, we chose the P2E game Gatto: we launch the app, go to the store, and see the prices in Stars. We confirm the purchase and are redirected to a window with our personal balance, where we can buy sets of 50 to 2500 stars with national currency.

⚫️ It was announced that Stars could be exchanged for TON on the Fragment platform, where anonymous numbers, usernames, and Telegram Premium are sold. Currently, there's no section for selling Stars on the site, but we hope that soon it will be possible not only to withdraw Stars but also to purchase them for TON. For regular users, the menu for buying Stars should appear next to the Telegram Premium tab, as well as in the @PremiumBot.

⚫️ On one hand, dedicated TON users might negatively receive this new feature since most Mini Apps previously accepted payment in Toncoin. On the other, it's generally more convenient for ordinary people to buy Stars with a credit card in just a few clicks, rather than dealing with TON wallets and P2P. Either way, the innovation carries both pros and cons in terms of mass adoption. What are your thoughts on this?

🚀 The easiest way to create your own memecoin on TON

In recent months, numerous services have emerged on TON that facilitate the creation of new jettons, NFTs, or even Telegram Mini Apps. These platforms often cater to relatively serious projects, but what if you just want to have some fun and launch a meme or fan token?

⚫️ The answer was found next door — on Solana Blockchain. For over five months, the «pump fun» platform has been operating successfully, launching more than 900,000 new coins during this time. The site’s bright and chaotic visual style might deter the unprepared users, but we're more interested in the mechanics it uses to launch tokens.

⚫️ It’s quite straightforward. Any user can create a coin in a minute by filling in basic information. Immediately afterward, the token appears on the platform and trading begins as on a DEX: anyone can buy the coin, thus increasing its value and market cap. To get the coin on a DEX, it needs to reach a certain threshold. All transactions are recorded on the blockchain, but until listing, users trade wrapped tokens exclusively within the platform.

⚫️ This mechanic has been adapted for TON by the Gas Pump service. Everything happens within a convenient mini-app, where coins can be sorted by market cap and creation time, and the threshold for hitting the DEX is 1000 TON. For collaboration, the team chose the DeDust.io exchange, so if desired, the creator of a successful token can apply for an official listing. Note that if one wallet owns more than 30% of the total issuance, the coin is marked as suspicious.

⚫️ Naturally, Gas Pump has a reward program — GAS XP. Points are awarded to users for buying tokens on the platform, creating successful meme coins that gather the 1000 TON threshold, subscribing to the official Telegram channel @gaspump, and inviting friends via a referral link, of course. Later, GAS XP can be exchanged for the platform's utility token.

Have you already created your memecoin in the ten days since the service launched, or are you just eyeing this new platform?

🪙 The Open League Season 4: NFT, DeFi, and $1 Million in TON

⚫️ Today marks the launch of the fourth season of The Open League — an incentive program that further energizes active users in the ecosystem and sees crypto projects compete against each other in the leaderboard.

⚫️ The season will last for two weeks, ending on June 26th at 11:00 UTC. For easy navigation through the reward pools, you can use @Open_League_Bot as before. This season features competition among thirteen tokens, including:

— $KINGY Pool: KINGY/TON APR: 250% Token channel: @investkingyru_en
— $JVT Pool: JVT/TON APR: 500% Token channel: @JVault
— $HYDRA Pool: HYDRA/TON APR: 600% Token community: @Ton_HYDRAcoin
— $BOLT Pool: BOLT/TON APR: 380% Token channel: … it's easier to choose from the list yourself

⚫️ Additionally, an NFT category has been added this season. There are no tables with participants and metrics on the official website yet, so we haven’t figured out exactly how the NFT projects will compete. If you know more, feel free to share under this post.

⚫️ It's worth noting that The Open League has significantly changed from its original concept in November. From an interesting social mechanic with SBT, farming XP points, and profiles in TON Society, it has predominantly turned into a boost giveaway in liquidity pools. Whether this is good or bad is up for discussion in the comments.

@thedailyton

💎 Three weeks of The Open League Summer Bootcamps have ended!

⚫️ This weekend marked the end of the massive offline event marathon by TON Society, which took place across 13 cities worldwide: Prague, Moscow, Hong Kong, Berlin, Belgrade, Saint Petersburg, Taipei, Seoul, Warsaw, Kyiv, Tbilisi, Gurugram, and Minsk.

⚫️ The Daily TON team managed to attend three bootcamps: Moscow, Berlin, and Kyiv, and we can confidently say that TON Foundation demonstrated a high level of event organization, attracted new developers to TON, and supercharged an already active user base.

⚫️ The marathon showcased new projects in GameFi, financial tools for traders, various aggregators, and services. In just three days, teams had to develop a project in the Telegram Mini App format and present it to the audience. The winners of the First and Second weeks are already announced, and to catch the best projects of the Third week and upcoming event announcements, we recommend subscribing to the TON Society channel.

It’s worth noting that applications for The Open League Hackathon are open until June 15th, so you still have a chance to join the global competition, even if you didn’t attend any offline events.

🏆 Missed the event? The Daily TON knows how to cheer you up! Together with the sub0.ton and Full Metal Jetton channels, we’re running two t-shirt giveaways from the Berlin bootcamp and are gearing up to launch a third giveaway for two more shirts from the Kyiv event. Stay tuned so you don’t miss out.

⚫️ The bootcamps are over, but activities in the TON ecosystem are not! The fourth season of The Open League program starts after a two-week break, this time with two new categories: DeFi and NFT. Boosts and farming will appear in pools tomorrow at 11:00 UTC. Pick your favorites and turn on the fans — the hot summer continues.

@thedailyton

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

⚫️ The channel sub0.ton, in collaboration with Full Metal Jetton and The Daily TON, is hosting a giveaway of official TON merch from the Berlin Bootcamp. On X, two t-shirts are being given away for a retweet and tagging two friends, while on Telegram, creative merch ideas for one of the channels can win you a shirt.

🔥 Just last Tuesday, we released a detailed post about the boosts from TON Foundation in the TON/USDT pair on DeDust.io, only to see another, the biggest boost yet of 1,420,000 TON, added yesterday. Consequently, the APR in the pool jumped to 182% (now at 141%), and liquidity reached the $150M mark.

⚫️ After listening to a broadcast with Anatoliy Makosov, the tech lead of TON Core, we tried to understand why TON transactions have been slow lately and what the status of Layer 2 development is. By the way, the promised node update was released today — let us know if you've noticed an increase in speed?

⚫️ This Friday, June 7, the centralized Telegram exchange @xRocket listed the $XROCK token. On launch day, the platform experienced a massive influx of users depositing $USDT to buy the token early. We're keeping an eye on the price and await $XROCK's debut on DEX.

⚫️ We've analyzed the latest trends in GameFi on TON and asked our readers which games they play during trading breaks and which projects they would like to see in the ecosystem in the future — developers, we recommend checking the comments under the post.

@thedailyton

🐤 Click yourself an iPhone: What future awaits games on TON?

⚫️ You've probably noticed that the hottest topic on TON right now is GameFi. Simple games seem to be the best fit for the much-anticipated mass adoption. Moreover, it’s not so much the integration of entertainment into blockchain that attracts people, but rather the opportunity to earn by performing simple actions.

⚫️ Following the colossal success of Notcoin and the equally impressive surge in popularity of Hamster Combat, other teams have doubled down on developing mini-applications. Additionally, apart from the multifaceted support and grants from TON Foundation, other major players such as DWF Labs are gradually starting to invest in Telegram Mini Apps.

⚫️ Every day, new GameFi projects appear in Telegram Apps Center, and some of them can already boast innovative gameplay. We are confident that games on TON will become increasingly interesting over time, and their quantity will gradually evolve into quality.

⚫️ Feel free to share in the comments which TON games you've been glued to lately, and whether you are looking forward to seeing projects with complex mechanics, like Clash of Clans or Brawl Stars, appear in our ecosystem. Or did everyone just come here for the «free» tokens?

@thedailyton

🚀 $XROCK listing tomorrow

⚫️ The $XROCK token will launch on the centralized exchange @xRocket on June 7th. Trading and other operations with the token will be available starting at 11:00 UTC, but withdrawals will not be possible until the listing on decentralized exchanges.

⚫️ The token price during the IEO was $0.02. With a total supply of 500 million $XROCK, the market capitalization at launch will be $10 million.

⚫️ As a reminder, @xRocket is a popular custodial wallet and centralized exchange available as a Telegram bot. According to our data, the exchange's monthly audience exceeds 140,000 people, and more than 800,000 people use the bot each month.

⚫️ Follow the news on the xRocket News channel.

💎 Why are transactions taking so long, and will TON get a Layer 2?

As more users join TON Blockchain, the question arises more frequently — why do transactions take so long? A month ago, a broadcast featuring Anatoly Makosov, the tech lead of TON Core, aired on the TON PIZ channel (in Russian). We revisited the broadcast and are ready to explain the problem and whether it’s possible to speed up even the fastest blockchain.

⚫️ In some cases, transaction execution may take up to two minutes. The TON Core team is aware of this issue, understands the technical causes, and is preparing an update for validators on June 10th that will likely optimize the process of generating new blocks in the network.

⚫️ Additionally, there's an issue with some validators using underpowered hardware — plans are in place to introduce penalties for those who do not take their responsibilities seriously and skimp on equipment.

⚫️ Developers of TON DEXs and wallets are also currently working on visual solutions, such as progress bars and additional notifications, to help users more clearly understand the status of their transactions.

⚫️ But what about the October record for the number of transactions per second? The fact is that the main priority of TON Blockchain is its scalability, not the speed of individual transactions. The focus is primarily on network stability even with a large number of users.

🖊 Regarding Layer 2, payment networks are the solution currently under active development. This tool is aimed not only at speeding up blockchain operations but also at reducing fees for microtransactions — we eagerly await announcements in this direction.

🚀 How TON Foundation boosts the ecosystem

⚫️ On Sunday, a substantial boost of 700,000 TON was introduced for liquidity providers in the TON/USDT pair on DeDust.io. Many users immediately started to invest their funds into the pool, especially since, together with previous boosts, the total reward volume reached 1,580,000 TON — impressively large, right?

⚫️ Today, TON Foundation decided to go even bigger, adding a new boost of a whopping one million TON to the pool. Thus, the reward size reached 2,580,000 TON or $18M, and the daily distribution increased to 48,885 TON, maintaining the pool’s yield at 162% APR even with a total liquidity of $77M.

⚫️ In the TON ecosystem, users are accustomed to securing their earnings in TON or USDT, so it’s common to find a significant amount of these two tokens idling in wallets. Thus, putting them into a pool with such a high annual percentage rate seems like an attractive idea.

⚫️ While the TON rate is currently relatively stable, it's important not to overlook impermanent losses — funds that you might earn less on or even lose if the token’s price changes significantly. For those wary of such losses, $SCALE staking with an APR of 25.5% is always available on DeDust.io.

💡 It’s encouraging to see TON Foundation consistently investing in key ecosystem tools, incentivizing liquidity providers on DEX in such an important pair as TON/USDT. We look forward to seeing 1B USDT on TON Blockchain by November and the complete transition from the wrapped jUSDT.

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

⚫️ CoinMarketCap now features detailed information about all tokens and pools available on DeDust.io. The decentralized exchange is now integrated not only with DEX Screener but also with CMC.

🔥 Yesterday was an incredibly hot day for the $NOT token! The coin reached a trading volume of $10 billion, surpassing BTC and ETH in the Binance rankings, and the number of Notcoin holders exceeded 2 million users.

⚫️ SafePal hardware wallets now support TON tokens. You can learn more about this new feature and the benefits of hardware wallets in our publication.

⚫️ We've delved into how to get the $STORM token among the first, where the coin from the derivative exchange Storm Trade will be listed, and what benefits it will bring to its holders in a separate post.

⚫️ The utility token $MY from the non-custodial wallet MyTonWallet has launched! The coin performed admirably at the start, delighting everyone who took an active part in the campaign from «early». We welcome another fundamental token to the ecosystem!

⚫️ In the BroBot Contests Mini App, there is currently a campaign with a prize pool of 3 BMWs and 300 WL NFT WONNIE. The main condition for participation in the raffle is to supply liquidity to the WON/TON pool on DeDust.io.

@thedailyton

⭐️ There's never been anything like this on TON: A raffle of 3 BMWs by the Wonnie project

⚫️ The raffle Mini App BroBot Contests has launched a spectacular campaign from the meme token $WON team, inspired by the old depressive meme about Wonnie the bear and his eternal struggle with despair.

⚫️ The prize pool includes 3 real BMWs and 300 WONNIE WL NFTs. In addition to the daily captcha system, ticket mining has been introduced: now tickets can also be earned by completing tasks, and to participate in each of the three giveaways, you need to collect 12, 20, and 20 tickets respectively.

⚫️ There are four levels of tasks: three for regular users and one for influencers. The first two levels are simple – just subscribe to social media and invite a friend. However, the third level requires you to provide liquidity in the WON/TON pool on DeDust.io. For every 1500 LP (approximately $45), you will receive tickets daily. The larger your share in the pool, the higher your chances of winning.

BroBot warns that some tasks may not be credited immediately; waiting can take up to 24 hours.

⚫️ The results of the raffle will be published on the official Telegram channel of the project on June 11, June 21, and July 1 at 15:00 UTC — one day for each car. After each of these dates, the accumulated tickets will burn, and you will need to mine them again.

Head over to the bot if you want to explore all the details and join the campaign.

⚫️ What do you think about such raffles? Can these prizes attract new users to TON ecosystem, and will you be participating yourself?

@thedailyton

🔥 MyTonWallet Coin is now available for trading on DeDust.io!

While one utility token is just gearing up for launch, another one makes a loud entrance onto the exchange on the last day of spring! Of course, we are talking about the $MY coin from the non-custodial wallet, MyTonWallet.

⚫️ It took just two and a half months for the token to go from community voting to being listed on a trading platform. During this time, the project gained the support of a new platform for collaborations, early, and conducted two rounds of a campaign distributing the $MY token.

⚫️ You can now update your MyTonWallet app and see the total amount of coins you've earned in your account. It's important to note that the tokens will be unlocked gradually in equal parts over the next five months, starting from today at 15:30 UTC until September 28, 15:30 UTC.

⚫️ Currently, the team has distributed more than 40% of the supply among active wallet users and campaign participants, and it has done so completely free of charge — the liquidity on DEX DeDust.io was provided solely from project funds. Another 30% is planned to be distributed over the next four years by MyTonWallet.

⚫️ $MY holders will have access to premium wallet features, more favorable exchange rates, and higher staking income, so we advise you to wait for all new features to launch before deciding between selling or holding the token.

Trade MY/USDT on DeDust.io

We will continue to closely monitor the development of MyTonWallet!

@thedailyton

🚀 Waiting for $STORM token launch

⚫️ In recent months, TON users have grown accustomed to tokens that enter the ecosystem with loud marketing campaigns but carry no tangible utility, only promising innovative products in the future.

⚫️ The more such coins appear, the less appealing it becomes to delve into them or even to invest. It’s a different story with tokens from the «old timers» of TON, one of which is the derivative exchange Storm Trade. The launch of $STORM is just around the corner, with more official information about the jetton being released daily, making it the perfect time to dig in.

⚫️ Let’s talk about the most important thing right away: those who own Market Makers NFTs (floor on Getgems is 200 TON) will have the chance to buy the token first at a fixed minimum price. The more NFTs you hold, the more tokens you can purchase. We have covered Market Makers themselves in great detail here.

⚫️ Besides purchasing on the marketplace, you can obtain an NFT through the Storm Trade Bot — 150 units will be randomly distributed among those who meet a couple of simple conditions in the bot, and another 50 will go to participants with the highest number of referrals. With only one day left until the end of the campaign, we recommend crossing your fingers and hoping for luck.

⚫️ Everyone else will have to buy the token at listing. The scale here is expected to be comparable to Notcoin — $STORM will debut on at least two platforms: Tonstarter (native TON launchpad), and Magic Square (a major project backed by Binance Labs).

💡 Moreover, $STORM will be the first token to launch on Magic Square Launchpad, surely attracting community attention (the hype will be further fueled by an airdrop of 0.5% of the supply). And it won’t be without utility — 30% of Storm Trade's platform fees will be distributed among $STORM stakers, which will definitely impact its price.

For more information about the token, you can visit the dedicated section on the website.

🏆 JVault is giving away tokens again!

⚫️ As part of a major campaign with a prize pool of $100,000, the staking platform JVault has decided to reward the first 20,000 users who complete basic tasks in the JVault Bot mini-app. Additional rewards in $SCALE, $BOLT, and $WEB3 tokens can be claimed immediately after earning 5 points.

⚫️ But it's worth fighting for the top spots on the leaderboard as well. Let us remind you that the largest rewards (85% of the prize pool) are guaranteed to the top 200 participants, and among all other users, 500 will be randomly selected to share the remaining 15%.

>> The campaign ends on June 5, you can catch the last train here.

🪙 TON tokens are now available in SafePal hardware wallets

⚫️ Long-time readers of our channel may remember how, in various promotions, we have given away SafePal S1 hardware wallets — devices for the most secure storage of your crypto assets. Now, using a «cold wallet» has become even more convenient as developers have added support for TON tokens.

⚫️ It's important to note that supporting jettons is just the first step towards integrating The Open Network into SafePal. The wallets still do not recognize TON NFTs, do not interact with services through TON Connect, and do not yet load the price of the tokens themselves. We are waiting for more opportunities to open up for TON users.

⚫️ We have written about the advantages of using a hardware wallet in a post about different ways to store cryptocurrency — we recommend checking it out and choosing the best one for you.

Remember, no matter how secure your storage method is, always take care of your seed phrase, never enter it on third-party sites, and do not connect wallets to dubious services.

@thedailyton

⌨️ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

⚫️ We discussed a reliable way to make money on cryptocurrency, which many have recently forgotten about, and highlighted LaborX, a job search platform in the Web3 field, where the integration of TON blockchain is now in full swing.

⚫️ Using as an example the scandalous $SHIT token, we analyzed the situation in the memcoin sector, where after the launch of tokens, teams try to sustain their life with new products, and the projects themselves are often backed by media personalities with large audiences.

⚫️ In a separate compilation, we listed the latest innovations of the non-custodial wallet MyTonWallet, which will delight $NOT holders, as well as everyone who wanted to participate in the distribution of the $MY utility-token.

⚫️ The gaming platform JetTon introduced a new Telegram bot, in which completing tasks earns JETPOINTS that can later be exchanged for the $JETTON token. More details here.

@thedailyton

📈 $JETTON token farming is now available in a separate bot

⚫️ Following the colossal success of Notcoin, new clickers have been emerging almost daily, and it's completely unclear where the authors are genuinely set to release a token, and where the «mining» process will go on forever.

⚫️ Against this backdrop, the gaming platform JetTon has developed its own task bot, backed by a serious product with over two million active users. In the app @JettonFarmingBot, users earn JETPOINTS for participating in activities, which can later be exchanged for the token $JETTON.

⚫️ Speaking of which: $JETTON has been traded since September 2023, and in that time, it has managed to list on the MEXC exchange, with a total trading volume in April of over $30 million. Now that the path to CEX has been paved, listing on a top-tier exchange is just a matter of time.

⚫️ But the team's plans are not only about reaching new trading platforms. After burning 15 million tokens on TON network in June, the project plans to release these coins on the Ethereum blockchain.

🖊 Tasks in @JettonFarmingBot are straightforward: from simple subscriptions to channels to topping up your account on the JetTon platform. And if you believe in the project's development but do not want to participate in activities, you can always buy $JETTON on DeDust.io. Additionally, boosts and farming are available for liquidity providers on DEXs with a yield of 204% and 346% APR.

@thedailyton

💡 What's new in MyTonWallet?

The recent Notcoin listing has spurred many projects to create new features for their products. The non-custodial wallet MyTonWallet is no exception:

⚫️ Owners of Notcoin Pre-Market vouchers can now exchange their NFTs for $NOT tokens in just a few clicks. Simply update the app to the latest version, go to the NOT Vouchers tab, click on the Burn NOT Vouchers button, pay the burn fee, and wait a few minutes without closing the screen.

⚫️ Also, if you previously burned vouchers through MyTonWallet but did not receive your $NOT, you need to re-link your wallet in @notcoin_bot and refresh the app page — the coins should appear in your bot balance. Additionally, soon MyTonWallet will also allow transfers without having Toncoin in your account. Stay tuned for updates.

⚫️ With the support of the early platform, MyTonWallet has launched the Round 2 of its campaign distributing the token $MY. The tasks are the same as in the first round, but there's a new one — now you can also earn points for holding the token $NOT in your wallet. Deadline: May 29, 15:00 UTC, and you need to hold the tokens until May 30.

⚫️ If you participated in the previous round, we invite you to share in the comments the number of $MY tokens you managed to earn (you can check the result in @MyTonWalletBot).

Now, a bit about achievements: the wallet recently ranked first in two CertiK ratings and has surpassed the milestone of 100,000 daily users. Just six months ago, such figures were a significant achievement for the entire TON ecosystem, and now such a large number of people use MyTonWallet alone!

@thedailyton

💀 What associations do you have with the word Shitcoin?

⚫️ Those of you not interested in memetokens on TON might be surprised to learn that a token with the ticker $SHIT raised over one million dollars in just five minutes during its presale. It turns out that an outrageous ticker is actually a plus — it keeps the project on the radar of those who had no plans to engage with it.

⚫️ Recently, a whole niche of tokens with scandalous tickers, successful presales, and active communities has emerged within TON ecosystem. Often, these tokens are backed by well-known personalities with a loyal audience ready to promote the coin from the outset.

⚫️ Speaking specifically about $SHIT, the project has established collaboration with the POVEL DUREV team, and the token itself is backed by a blogger with an audience of 3 million people. Memecoin displays impressive daily trading volumes on DeDust.io and is preparing to launch its own NFTs and a game. The token has already gained popularity within TON, so the team plans to expand its marketing beyond the ecosystem. That's how mass adoption turns out.

⚫️ For those who find trading the coin on the exchange boring, a campaign is running on BroBot Contests until June 14, 15:00 UTC, with $25,000 worth of $SHIT tokens up for grabs. The conditions are standard: subscribe to channels on social networks, invite a friend, and hold the $SHIT token in your wallet — the more tasks completed, the more substantial the prize you can win.

We continue to monitor trends in the world of memetokens and hope that life in this sphere won’t fade after the $NOT listing!

@thedailyton

⭐️ Unexpected way to earn with cryptocurrency discovered!

⚫️ Lately, working in crypto has become synonymous with trading, farming, and even airdrop hunting. The phrase «I work in cryptocurrency» has gained a slightly ironic undertone, given the risks traders face. However, there's another path — finding a job and earning a steady income.

⚫️ Many don't consider that the cryptocurrency sector employs a vast number of people in very typical professions: programmers and economists, managers, designers, and copywriters. All it takes is an understanding of the subject and being a professional in your field — the job is practically yours.

⚫️ Blockchain remains a new and growing field, meaning the demand for talented individuals who are also knowledgeable about crypto is very high. High demand, in turn, means higher salaries and the opportunity to choose a job that really suits you, rather than settling for the first opportunity that comes along.

⚫️ You can find a job, an employee, post or pick up freelance gigs on job search websites specifically designed for the Web3 sphere. LaborX is one such platform, with over 200,000 professionals, 2,000 clients, and 30 new offers appearing daily. Users can receive payments in crypto by linking a smart contract to any order with predefined terms.

🖊 The service has a Telegram mini-app with AI technology that helps match jobs or employees based on your resume or job description. The platform hosts gigs from industry leaders across various blockchains, but TON users will find many attractive offers too: recently, @wallet started posting its vacancies on LaborX, and soon there will be an option to receive payments in Toncoin.
