Open League Break Announcement

We are taking a break in The Open League, including the project leaderboards (App, DeFi, NFT) and the Normie & Degen airdrops, starting 9am UTC on Sep 20th. The break will last for around two weeks, with the restart date announced in advance. Once we’re back, the league will run for three more weeks, completing the planned 4-week cycle.

Why the pause?

The largest airdrops in Web3 are coming! Hamster Kombat, Catizen, WatBird (Gamee), and other major TON apps are set to distribute rewards to hundreds of millions of users, showcasing the true decentralization of Web3. To ensure smooth transactions and accurate tracking of your Normie and Degen airdrop activities, we’re giving the system a breather.

Key Points:

▪️ All your activity from the first week of Season 6 is recorded—nothing is lost.
▪️ Normie and Degen badge minting will also be paused, but you can request them once we restart.
▪️ Projects in the App, DeFi, and NFT Leagues are kindly asked to avoid large-scale activities until further notice.

We’re thrilled about these upcoming events that will reshape Web3! Let’s rally our community and make this a huge success!

Stay tuned for updates!

Exciting ecosystem milestones & The Open League holiday

Grand TGE and listings are coming to TON.

▪️5M users already claimed $CATI on CEXs or on their self-custody wallets with 1.2M wallets now being $CATI onchain holders.
▪️WatBirds (@watbird) and Rocky Rabbit’s (@rockyrabbitio) fans are claiming their airdrops today. These projects have 12M and 18M monthly wallets respectively!
▪️Starting on September 26, 230M+ users of Hamster Kombat will feel the true power of decentralisation with the $HMSTR airdrop.

Unbelievable milestones for the entire Web3 industry! Will these projects beat the record holder count of $NOT(2,8M) and $DOGS (4M)? So far, TON tokens have been the absolute leaders compared to the giants on other chains: for example, Ethereum's SHIBA INU boasts 1,4M holders, while Solana's BONK - 766k holders.

The exciting upcoming challenges for the TON infrastructure require a careful and balanced approach to coordinating on-chain activity during the period which is why The Open League break was announced last week.

We kindly remind TON community that the Normie and Degen airdrops; NFT, DeFi and App Leagues, as well as LP boosts for the Token Battle Season 5 winners are temporarily on pause. Smooth user experience and decent analytics approach have always been the priorities of The Open League.

In approximately 2 weeks, all the activities will be back in place, including LP boosts with the $1M prize pool for liquidity providers across 10 pools.

Meanwhile, let’s get ready to make history during the following weeks!

The Open League is Back with Degen Airdrop and Fresh Updates!

The Degen Airdrop is set to re-start this Thursday, October 10th, at 11 AM UTC! After a short break, the Open League is returning with fresh updates and exciting opportunities for the community.

During the pause, several major milestones were achieved in the ecosystem, including recent token launches: $CATI, $RBTC, $WAT and $HMSTR. Now it’s time to dive back in and continue farming!

Starting Thursday, anyone can join the Degen Airdrop: just provide liquidity or make transactions in the protocols that are part of the TVL and Volume Squads of the DeFi League. If you started farming the airdrop before the break - just keep on going, you are on the right path, no previous achievement is lost! Also, more DeFi projects will soon be added to the leaderboard, giving you more choice and creating even more exciting competition among the best TON teams!

Stay tuned for further updates on the start of LP Boosts and the restart of the App League & Normie Airdrop that will follow soon.
