🚨Attention TON DNS Owners!

We want to remind you that you must confirm ownership of your domain names annually.

It’s been almost a year since the first auctions were launched; therefore, owners must renew their TON DNS ownership as soon as possible.

This can now be done using Tonkeeper.

In the latest update, the wallet team added a feature allowing you to manage TON DNS domains in the app. To renew a domain name from your collection, open the wallet, select the desired domain, and click “Renew.”

You can also renew your TON DNS domains through a regular browser following these instructions.

Please remember that expired domains will be returned to the TON DNS public auction, and your ownership will be lost.

🦙Introducing DAOLama — A Lending Protocol for NFTs

DAOLama is a decentralized service through which users can receive Toncoin collateralized by NFTs and rent NFTs from other users. The platform supports all popular collections on The Open Network (TON).

Why is this necessary, and how does it work?

Some NFTs can be valuable even when temporarily owned. For example, you can borrow an in-game NFT to access a special tournament, quest, or exclusive access to certain events.

The service works on smart contracts and guarantees the return of the pledged tokens at any time before the end of the loan period.

Notably, Tonkeeper has integrated DAOLama into its app, providing access to the lending protocol directly in their wallet.

​Historic Moment as BIT accepts Toncoin for trading fees

TON Foundation, in a strategic partnership with BIT Exchange, is making history today. For the first time ever, a cryptocurrency exchange is enabling users to pay trading fees with a token that isn't a stablecoin or a platform token. Instead, Toncoin, the native token of TON Blockchain will be the collateral of choice.

The utility of Toncoin doesn’t end there. BIT Exchange, known for its specialization in crypto derivatives trading, is expanding its crypto derivatives offerings to include futures trading for Toncoin, too. This development will further enrich BIT’s range of services, which includes portfolio and unified margin management, as well as options, perpetual futures, and spot trading.

That's just the beginning! BIT users will also enjoy a limited-time 10% discount on trading fees when using the newly live 'Deduct with TON' feature.

This significant milestone in the crypto industry is a testament to the robust strategic partnership between TON Foundation and BIT, a partnership that traces its roots back to January 2022 when BIT first listed TON.

As we journey to onboard the next 100 million users onto Web3, we are thrilled to introduce a feature that propels us closer to this goal and broadens the horizons of crypto trading.

With every step we take, we're shaping the future of trading - and it starts with TON. Onwards and upwards! 🚀
