💎 AppKit | Alpha Announcement
TON is the blockchain built into Telegram. Apps built on TON can reach Telegram's billion+ users directly.
Until now, every team had to build wallet connections, transaction handling, and DeFi integrations from scratch. Weeks of work before a single line of product code.
Today we're announcing AppKit alpha to change that.
What's live now:
▪️ Wallet management and transaction sending
▪️ DeFi integration (swaps, staking)
▪️ TON Connect support
▪️ TypeScript and React support
▪️ LLM-friendly (describe an app, build a prototype in minutes)
WalletKit is also production-ready for wallet developers on iOS, Android, React Native, and Web.
More features coming at Gateway (May 1-2).

TON is gradually transitioning to an architecture where operation times are measured in milliseconds rather than seconds.
The Sub-Second update is one of the biggest technological improvements to the network in recent years.

💎 TON Rust Node is Now Available
Built by RSquad Blockchain Lab. A full implementation of the TON protocol that's production-grade, cloud-native, and designed for scale.
What's Inside:
✅ Deployment: Container-first and Kubernetes-native, with Docker images and Helm Charts out of the box. Any DevOps engineer can launch a node ready to sync in under 10 minutes, no TON-specific knowledge required.
✅ Management: Nodectl gives you a single control plane for your entire fleet. Elections, stake management, governance, and analytics. Configure once, run everywhere.
✅ Security: Private keys are never stored unencrypted. HashiCorp Vault integration, with execution and custody separated architecturally.
Deploying one node takes the same effort as deploying a hundred.

$20,000. Two tracks. Two weeks.
Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10K)
Build tooling and primitives that help power the next generation of AI applications on TON. This can include wallet integrations, agent coordination, payment flows, developer tools, and other core infrastructure.
Track 2: User facing Agents ($10K)
Build AI agents that users can interact with directly inside Telegram. This can include commerce agents, payment bots, assistants, trading tools, automation products, and other practical AI-powered experiences. These agents can be both user-facing products and part of agent-to-agent interactions on TON, including payments, coordination, and trust.
This is a much bigger shift than just one hackathon.
A new stack is emerging
• Telegram is the interaction and distribution layer
• AI is the execution engine.
• TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.
BotFather MAU grew from 3.5M to 7.4M after AI agents started taking off on Telegram. Developers are already moving. Now it’s time to join the best builders on TON.

Unfortunately, due to the Middle East conflict and safety conditions in the UAE area, we have made the decision to cancel Gateway Dubai, originally scheduled for May 1 and 2, 2026. This was a difficult call, but the safety and well-being of our community always comes first.
If you purchased a ticket to Gateway through Luma, Moongate or Tribute, or booked hotel reservations through promocode, you will receive a refund within the next 14 days. For further questions, please contact: gateway@ton.org.
We are currently examining different formats to produce a Gateway event before the end of this year. An announcement will be forthcoming in the near future. We look forward to seeing you soon.
