πŸ’Ž Notcoin, a miniapp on Telegram, reached 35M active users in just a few months.

🐸 In this app, users could earn a game currency β€œnotcoins” by clicking on the screen. Yesterday, the cryptocurrency Notcoin was minted on the TON blockchain and listed on all major cryptoexchanges. All of a sudden, Notcoin users who just played this game for fun could convert their in-game currency into real money πŸ€‘

πŸš€ Notcoin instantly became a top-10 cryptocurrency in the world by trading volume, and reached almost $700 million in market capitalization. Imagine β€” hundreds of millions of dollars in value were created for Telegram users in this miniapp out of nowhere in a matter of months 😲

πŸ’ͺ This amazing success story shows how powerful the Telegram / TON ecosystems are for app developers. Telegram offers app developers more freedom than any other platform, providing unmatched opportunities to leverage social interactions for viral distribution. TON, in turn, provides scale and flexibility for any blockchain project on top of it πŸ’Ž

We are now seeing a large wave of new miniapps being built on Telegram and TON. Notcoin, the leader of the pack, used its mighty paws to pave the way for many apps to come 🐺

Transition from jUSDT to native USDt

USDt's launch on TON had huge success: there are already 316 million USDt in circulation!

Before launching the native USDt, the bridged jUSDT fulfilled its role in the TON blockchain.

Along with the launch of native USDt on TON, work has begun on cross-chain solutions that will allow transfers of native USDt from various networks into TON blockchain and vice versa.

Thus, we are proposing to start migrating from jUSDT to the native USDt on TON.

β€” The perсentage fee in bridge has been removed from the transfer of jUSDT from TON back to Ethereum.

β€” Over the next few weeks, TON Foundation will add liquidity to the jUSDT-USDt pools on TON DEX(es) for a while to allow small holders of jUSDT be able to exchange them for native USDt on TON DEX(es).

β€” After two weeks, jUSDT transfers from Ethereum to TON on bridge.ton.org will be closed at 12:00 UTC on June 10. Transfers of jUSDT from TON to Ethereum will work as long as there are jUSDT holders. Other tokens will continue to be processed without changes.

This is a scheduled event, all your funds are safe.
Please consider transferring either your jUSDT back to Ethereum via bridge (for larger amounts) or exchanging your jUSDT to native USDt on DEXes (for smaller amounts).
