It’s time to announce the winners, following yesterday's Live Judging session!
But before that, we want to thank all the creators who participated in this initiative, as well as all the judges for their time & contribution to score each of the artworks!
The level of creativity was unmatched & we may have another surprise for all the participants at the later stage!
Besides that, We decided to highlight several more amazing artworks, that unfortunately didn’t make it to top20, but are very stunning & deserve some attention:
- @notapes - art
- @exlot - art
- @yotsubagoharu - art
- @Liteelon - art
Please also reach out to us!
P.S.(i) we had technical difficulties while voting, and it took us a little while to sort it out, for which we want to apologize to all the participants. (ii) If your artwork wasn’t shown on the show it doesn’t necessarily mean that it was not included in the competition. (iii) we’ve strived to achieve transparency each step of the way, and want to remind everyone that the final score is based on 4 judges scoring the art, not only ONE.There were a few more flaws that we identified while running this initiative, and will be focusing on adjusting the process, to make it even more transparent & smooth for all the participants next time.
Prizes will be distributed to the winners within the next 5 days, please make sure to reach out to us directly via X profile where your art was submitted, with your Telegram @ in the message.
As for those who submit the art via Telegram – we already have your Usernames, Thank you everyone for participating!
stay tuned for more 🫵

💎 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).
