💎 TON AI Agent Hackathon is here!

$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.

📆 Hackathon dates: March 11-25

💎 WalletConnect now supports TON.

WalletConnect's global network, which connects 500M+ users across 700+ wallets and facilitated more than $400B in transaction volume in 2025, now has access to TON's expanding stablecoin economy and DeFi ecosystem.

To enable this, TON Connect protocol has been extended to support WalletConnect as a transport layer, allowing TON dApps to interact with multichain wallets without building wallet connection support from scratch.

💎 What this means for the ecosystem:

• Wallets with WalletConnect can now support TON with minimal integration effort.
• Institutions gain access to TON's DeFi and liquidity layer.
• Apps can attract non-TON native audiences.

🏅 Fireblocks and SafePal are among the first to integrate TON through WalletConnect. Through Fireblocks' network of 2,400+ institutional clients, organizations can now tap into TON-based DeFi, including liquidity pools and liquid staking, and incorporate TON into existing treasury workflows.

With institutional capital flowing in, TON's DeFi platforms like STON.fi, DeDust, Tonstakers, Affluent, Storm, and TONCO stand to benefit from deeper liquidity, which in turn means better opportunities for everyday crypto users.
