๐Ÿค Click yourself an iPhone: What future awaits games on TON?

โšซ๏ธ 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, itโ€™s not so much the integration of entertainment into blockchain that attracts people, but rather the opportunity to earn by performing simple actions.

โšซ๏ธ Following the colossal success of Notcoin and the equally impressive surge in popularity of Hamster Kombat, 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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 ยซfreeยป tokens?

โŒจ๏ธ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

โšซ๏ธ 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.

๐Ÿ”ฅ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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 โ€” let us know if you've noticed an increase in speed?

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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 โ€” developers, we recommend checking the comments under the post.

๐Ÿ’Ž Three weeks of The Open League Summer Bootcamps have ended!

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

Itโ€™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 didnโ€™t attend any offline events.

๐Ÿ† Missed the event? The Daily TON knows how to cheer you up! Together with the sub0.ton and Full Metal Jetton channels, weโ€™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 donโ€™t miss out.

โšซ๏ธ 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 โ€” the hot summer continues.

๐Ÿช™ The Open League Season 4: NFT, DeFi, and $1 Million in TON

โšซ๏ธ Today marks the launch of the fourth season of The Open League โ€” an incentive program that further energizes active users in the ecosystem and sees crypto projects compete against each other in the leaderboard.

โšซ๏ธ 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:

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

โšซ๏ธ Additionally, an NFT category has been added this season. There are no tables with participants and metrics on the official website yet, so we havenโ€™t figured out exactly how the NFT projects will compete. If you know more, feel free to share under this post.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

๐Ÿš€ 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?

โšซ๏ธ The answer was found next door โ€” on Solana Blockchain. For over five months, the ยซpump funยป platform has been operating successfully, launching more than 900,000 new coins during this time. The siteโ€™s bright and chaotic visual style might deter the unprepared users, but we're more interested in the mechanics it uses to launch tokens.

โšซ๏ธ Itโ€™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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ Naturally, Gas Pump has a reward program โ€” 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?

โœˆ๏ธ Telegram Mini Apps now accept payments in Stars

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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.

โšซ๏ธ 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?

โŒจ๏ธ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

๐Ÿ”ฅ On Saturday night, the price of Toncoin reached its all-time high at $8.239. This surge drew attention to TON Blockchain, as other cryptocurrencies were showing a decline in value at the time.

โšซ๏ธ Last week kicked off with the conclusion of The Open League Summer Bootcamps. Find out what it was like and don't forget to participate in our t-shirt giveaway. Links to photos from the meetups in Moscow, Berlin, and Kyiv are available in the official TON Society Announcements channels.

โšซ๏ธ With new boosts in liquidity pools, the fourth season of The Open League has begun. In the Token Battle category, 57 projects are now competing, with the entry of the token $NOT among the participants being the highlight โ€” many contestants have set their sights on surpassing this legendary coin.

โšซ๏ธ We discussed a new service for launching tokens, Gas Pump, and its unique mechanism for TON Blockchain, which allows users to trade coins even before they hit the DEX.

โšซ๏ธ Mini-apps have begun actively implementing the new currency, Telegram Stars. In one post, we compiled the main information related to the launch of Stars and also personally tried purchasing an item in one of the GameFi projects.

โœ”๏ธ What can participants in TON Accelerator boast about? (50k TON giveaway)

At the end of May, TON Foundation introduced the projects participating in TON Accelerator โ€” an intensive training and stimulation program for teams wanting to start their journey in the Web3 sphere. Out of 170 applications, only 11 projects were selected, one of which was the gaming platform Maincard.

โšซ๏ธ What's the project about? Each user has cards with different characteristics, levels, and amounts of lives. They can be upgraded by making accurate predictions, and then sold at an internal auction for TON or $MCN โ€” the platform's utility token. Maincard offers two modes: battles โ€” for solo play, and tournaments โ€” for competing with other players.

โšซ๏ธ The platform includes plenty of sports disciplines: competitions in football, basketball, tennis, hockey, MMA, and even cricket are available for predictions. As for esports, Maincard features major events in Dota 2, CS 2, LoL, and Valorant. New users receive two game cards upon registration and can immediately try out the platform's features without risk or investment.

โšซ๏ธ How is the project connected to TON? Besides having a handy mini-app @maincardton_bot (a base for products on TON) that duplicates the website's functionality, Maincard has its own token โ€” $MCN. It can be earned in tournaments or by selling cards at the auction, and the coin will be listed in the coming months on the DeDust.io exchange.

โšซ๏ธ Right now, Maincard is conducting the Summer Sprint quest series with a prize pool of 50,000 TON. Two social media tasks are already available for completion, but the developers promise even more interesting activities ahead. By the way, you can discuss the latest project news in the official chat @maincardOfficial.

We welcome new players to the ecosystem and wish the project success!

๐Ÿ“ˆ The ultimate tool for DYOR

โšซ๏ธ The latest turbulence in the world of cryptocurrencies is a good reason to firmly hold on to your seed phrase and refrain from looking at DEX and CEX, where users, in a panic, often sell and buy assets, frequently losing significant amounts. But then what should you do and where can you follow up-to-date information about trading platforms and trending tokens?

โšซ๏ธ Today, we invite all newcomers to get acquainted, and seasoned users to revisit, the popular service for analyzing decentralized protocols, DefiLlama. Especially since the platform recently added detailed information (including boosts) from liquidity pools on DeDust.io. DefiLlama features more than 422 protocols across 90 different blockchains, but we are primarily interested in the metrics for TON, of course.

โšซ๏ธ Last week, many reported that TON ecosystem's TVL had surpassed the $500 million mark, but if you visit the link now, you can see that the volume of locked funds has already reached $618 million. This is primarily due to the ongoing issuance of USDT on TON (the market capitalization of the stablecoin has reached $449.28M).

โšซ๏ธ DefiLlama provides analytics not only on protocols but also on individual tokens (including stablecoins) and even NFT collections. Advanced users can also download the necessary data in .csv format at any time for further analysis. We invite you to personally visit DefiLlama and explore the capabilities of the service.

๐Ÿ’€ How are NFTs doing in the TON ecosystem?

โšซ๏ธ Many may have noticed that NFTs on TON are currently not experiencing their best times, though once they were the main trend of the ecosystem. Users are no longer dazzled by beautiful images or interesting backstories โ€” trading volumes are mostly maintained by those collections that provide utility to their owners.

โšซ๏ธ TON Foundation decided to address this situation by adding an NFT Battle category to the latest season of The Open League. As a result, 22 collections are competing against each other, with the sole metric on the leaderboard being trading volume.

โšซ๏ธ Currently, the top three projects are: TON Frogs (an old collection that has found a second wind after a recent Fairlaunch of the $CAVI token), Market Makers (NFTs from Storm Trade, which will allow owners to acquire the $STORM token), and NOT Punks (a collection that combines popular on TON pixel punks with Notcoin).

โšซ๏ธ What about NFTs that are just preparing to launch? After a long break, a second collection โ€” U.S.R.L. Seeds Collectibles โ€” is coming out on the Sense platform. To get an NFT for just 1 TON, you need to complete a campaign in the Community bot by June 27 and closely follow the news on the launch day. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to get acquainted with the world of NFTs and to claim a piece by an artist who has previously collaborated with Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Young Thug.

What do you think, who will win the battle for user attention: NFTs or memecoins?

โŒจ๏ธ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

๐Ÿ”ฅ On Friday, USDT on TON Blockchain was fully integrated on Binance, making it the second TON token (after $NOT) to be listed on the most popular centralized exchange.

โšซ๏ธ We discussed one of the 11 participants of TON Accelerator โ€” the Maincard gaming platform, where users make predictions in order to upgrade special cards, which can then be profitably sold at an internal auction for TON or $MCN.

โšซ๏ธ In light of DefiLlama adding detailed information about liquidity pools from DeDust.io, we decided to remind you of the benefits of this analytics platform and analyze the main metrics of TON Blockchain.

โšซ๏ธ The non-custodial wallet Tonhub from the TON Whales team has integrated DeDust.io jetton swaps into its interface, allowing users to exchange tokens directly within the app without additional fees.

โšซ๏ธ We described the situation in the TON NFT sector, explored the new category in The Open League, and talked about the current campaign in Community bot, where you can acquire an NFT from the contemporary artist Gsmgarden for just 1 TON.

๐Ÿค It has been revealed who DWF Labs has partnered with

โšซ๏ธ Recently, we analyzed the latest trends in GameFi on TON and tried to anticipate the future of this sector. In our publication, we mentioned the Web3 market maker and investment platform DWF Labs, which announced its search for GameFi/SocialFi projects within the TON ecosystem for potential collaboration and financial support.

โšซ๏ธ Today, news broke that DWF Labs has become the strategic partner of the P2E game Gatto, a project we've frequently covered before. The Gatto team expects that DWF Labs will help them reach the Asian audience and support the launch of the utility token $GTON, scheduled for the near future.

โšซ๏ธ We've covered Gatto in detail back in February. Over the past months, the game has seen a myriad of events, campaigns, and even a collaboration with DeDust.io, making it no surprise that it secured support from a major player like DWF Labs. It seems the trend is indeed shifting towards well-thought-out games with engaging gameplay, though it's still early to say for certain.

We're eagerly awaiting new investments and will keep an eye on the development of GameFi on TON!

๐Ÿ’Ž How to stay updated with everything happening on TON?

If you often find yourself asking this question, rest assured โ€” you're not alone. Even we at The Daily TON have faced this challenge lately.

โšซ๏ธ Our channel is one of the oldest in the ecosystem. We've been reporting on TON Blockchain for over two years and have witnessed every phase of its development. We can confidently say that TON is currently experiencing its most vibrant and active phase.

โšซ๏ธ A clear sign of this is that sometimes even we struggle to keep up with what's happening. Miss a day in the info sphere, and everything changes: new tokens top The Open League, two dozen clicker games with millions of followers appear in Telegram Mini Apps, and thousands of Twitter users suddenly starting to storm the blockchain.

โšซ๏ธ In the past, we watched all events unfold right before our eyes, often orchestrated by someone we knew or someone who first joined the community before launching their project. Nowadays, we often find ourselves in the role of observers, learning about news from other channels or getting acquainted with a product only after its launch.

โšซ๏ธ Nevertheless, we continue to write about the most important and interesting events in the TON ecosystem and have no plans to slow down. Thank you to everyone who has followed us from the beginning, and a special thanks to the newcomers who bring life to our blockchain โค๏ธ

โŒจ๏ธ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

โšซ๏ธ The BroBot Contests campaign by the lending protocol EVAA and the liquid staking platform bemo is drawing to a close. A prize pool of 6,500,000 $stXP and 1,500,000 EVAA XP will be drawn among the participants on July 3rd โ€” don't miss your chance to jump on board at the last minute.

โšซ๏ธ The Play-2-Earn game Gatto has announced a strategic partnership with DWF Labs. This collaboration will accelerate the project's entry into the Asian market and facilitate the smooth launch of the $GTON token.

โšซ๏ธ The fourth season of The Open League has concluded, receiving mixed reviews from participants, users, and TON influencers. TON Foundation is now holding a vote until July 3rd on whether to extend the fifth season from two to four weeks.

โšซ๏ธ We've published a reflection post sharing our impressions of the growing popularity of TON Blockchain, discussing how new projects used to enter the ecosystem and how this process occurs now.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Telegram has released an update that added compact panels for minimizing Mini Apps, enhanced features for the ยซStoriesยป section, and the ability to post paid (via Telegram Stars) photos and videos.

โœˆ๏ธ How does Telegram Ads work and why are channels earning less?

โšซ๏ธ Recently, Telegram introduced the ability to launch advertising campaigns for TON alongside Euro payments. While fiat-based ad purchases undergo at least minimal moderation, ads through ads.telegram.org can be launched for just 20 TON without strict product requirements, a loophole quickly exploited by numerous scammers.

โšซ๏ธ Moreover, in recent months, numerous million-audience channels discussing the TON blockchain have emerged on Telegram. These include both old-timers of the ecosystem, like The Daily TON, and new pages, particularly official channels of popular clickers, which are prime targets for scammer advertisements.

โšซ๏ธ As we know, a large audience brings great responsibility. But what can channel authors do if they cannot control the ads displayed on their pages to non-premium users? We assume Telegram is trying to address this issue by disabling the display of ads launched via the TON cabinet on all major pages.

โšซ๏ธ Now, on large crypto channels, you can only see ads purchased with Euros, which is why author revenues have significantly dropped compared to previous months. Do you think Telegram will come up with a more elegant solution to control scam ads, or will crypto bloggers have to forget about decent monetization?

๐Ÿ“’ Where is all the action happening on TON right now?

โšซ๏ธ One of the few places in the ecosystem where life is still bustling despite the summer heat is the platforms for quick memecoin creation. You can read more about the unique token launch mechanism that has migrated to us from Solana Blockchain here.

โšซ๏ธ Just a month after starting, the Gas Pump team has posted an impressive list of achievements on their page: $1M in daily trading volume, over 10,000 tokens created on the platform, and the first 100 meme coins listed on DEX.

โšซ๏ธ This promising area has attracted other players too. In the last couple of weeks, two more projects have entered the game:

โ€” Wonton.fun โ€” a service that appeared out of nowhere but has already shown good results. Notably, the tokens on the platform mainly have tickers written in Cyrillic, which, however, does not prevent them from gaining popularity and amassing impressive capitalization.

โ€” TonPump.app โ€” a promising mini-app with a pleasing design, whose authors plan a large number of collaborations and contests to boost user activity.

โšซ๏ธ Interestingly, we havenโ€™t noticed much hype around these platforms among TON influencers, but this hasnโ€™t stopped them from setting new trading volume records daily. It seems these services are actively attracting audiences from other blockchains, which definitely benefits the entire TON ecosystem.

๐Ÿ“‰ Fee reductions now extend to DEX as well

โšซ๏ธ We all recall how, after a validator vote in April, the fees on TON were reduced by 2.5 times. Developers made this move in response to the rising cost of Toncoin (up to $7) and the rapid influx of new users into the blockchain.

โšซ๏ธ Today, one of the most popular protocols in the ecosystem, the decentralized exchange DeDust.io, has announced a significant reduction in its fees as well (in some cases, the cost has been reduced by up to four times). Let's take a closer look at the changes:

โœ”๏ธ The base fee for swaps has been reduced from 0.4% to 0.25%
โœ”๏ธ The fee for exchanges in stableswap pools has been lowered from 0.1% to 0.05%
โœ”๏ธ For the TON/USDT pair, a special offer will apply until the end of July: the fee has been reduced from 0.4% to 0.1%

โšซ๏ธ Additionally, the DeDust.io team has optimized the protocol's smart contracts, thereby significantly reducing gas consumption during transactions.

โšซ๏ธ The reduction in fees will make trading on the exchange more profitable, which in turn will attract new users to DeDust.io, and encourage existing ones to trade tokens even more frequently. As a result, trading volumes will increase, meaning that liquidity providers and $SCALE stakers will eventually earn more.

Keep up with the latest exchange updates on the official DeDust.io channel

โŒจ๏ธ The Weekly TON: Highlights of the week

โšซ๏ธ In a separate post, we delved into the changes in Telegram advertising and why recently, channels discussing cryptocurrency have seen a significant decrease in monetization volumes.

โšซ๏ธ RocketMan, founder and CEO of the @xRocket exchange, launched his own Telegram channel. Today, the first part of the history of xRocket was published there โ€” a subscription is highly recommended for those who appreciate unique information about TON.

โšซ๏ธ We discussed the current trend on The Open Network โ€” platforms for rapid memecoin launches, explored the latest achievements of Gas Pump, and introduced two similar projects: Wonton fun and TonPump app.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The popular decentralized exchange DeDust.io announced a reduction in swap fees and optimization of protocol smart-contracts. You can find all the details in our publication.

โšซ๏ธ Sense, together with the Community bot, successfully minted the U.S.R.L. Seeds Collectibles collection, which we discussed in a recent post about NFT. The items sold out in just five minutes, and currently, the floor on Getgems is holding at 8 TON.

๐Ÿค Dodo Pizza and Telegram Usernames: A clash between the real world and web3

Recently, an unusual showdown has erupted within the Telegram ecosystem, particularly within the TON community: Dodo Pizza (Russian pizzeria chain) is attempting to reclaim the @dodopizza username from a user who previously purchased it on the Fragment platform.

โšซ๏ธ How did it all start? The username had been owned by the company since 2018 but was lost due to channel inactivity. At the time, Dodo Pizza seemingly saw no potential in running a Telegram page. After Fragment's launch, a major TON investor bought the username at a public auction.

โšซ๏ธ In early June, Dodo Pizza decided to reclaim the username, only to discover it was not just linked to a random account but also formatted as an NFT on TON Blockchain. Communication between the parties failed, and Dodo Pizza decided to take the matter to court (and has already filed a lawsuit), to which TON enthusiast responded by purchasing another username โ€” @dodo. Moreover, the company named Telegram as the defendant, hinting at the messenger's connection with Fragment and suggesting unfair competition.

โšซ๏ธ To defend the principles of decentralization, network users supported a flashmob with a provocative rabbit emoji (which we will not display here), further fueling the fire and giving Dodo's lawyers a reason to also attack for the illegal use of the logo. With each new twist in the escalation, the owner sets a higher price for the usernames: starting at $500,000 at the beginning of the saga, then $1M, $1.5M, and now $2M.

โšซ๏ธ It's worth noting that there is a mechanism where a company can request a username from Telegram if it already uses it on two or more social networks โ€” there have been precedents. This situation could create an amusing paradox: the NFT with the username exists in the user's wallet, but it's no longer linked to Telegram. It remains to be seen why this option wasn't utilized, and what went wrong in the communication between Dodo Pizza and Telegram.

๐Ÿ‘ Will the pizzeria and the username owner come to an agreement? Will Telegram get involved in the dispute, and will this story change the rules in the web3 arena? We'll find out very soon.

P.S. This incident isn't the only case where big business has collided with web3 thanks to Telegram. We'll write about positive examples in a separate post.

๐Ÿช™ How to connect audiences, businesses, and cryptocurrency payments?

โšซ๏ธ Back in late 2022, TON Foundation announced the integration of TON with the popular payment system Cryptomus. At that time, such an event was inspiring โ€” TON Connect was not yet so widely spread across the network, and every new partnership was perceived as a step towards mass adoption.

โšซ๏ธ Now, after the colossal growth of the audience, TON faces a new challenge โ€” to unify everything and shift users from clickers to the sphere of purchasing goods with crypto. Cryptomus is precisely the platform that allows purchasing cryptocurrency with fiat money and integrating crypto payments into your product.

โšซ๏ธ Currently, every 86th transaction in the Litecoin network and every 115th transaction for USDT (TRC-20) is conducted through Cryptomus. Besides payment tools, the service also offers its wallet โ€” Cryptomus Wallet, a P2P exchange, and a Blockchain Explorer where you can track transactions of interest.

โšซ๏ธ You can register on Cryptomus using a non-custodial Tonkeeper wallet, an email address, a phone number, or a social media page. Next, you need to set up a merchant account and integrate Cryptomus into your service using API, SDK tools, or special plugins โ€” now you're ready to receive cryptocurrency payments from your customers.

๐Ÿ–Š For prompt support and to connect with other users of the service, you can join the official Cryptomus chat. The team has big plans ahead, so we look forward to new functionalities related to TON.
