❤️ New infra just dropped for TON builders.

The TON Rust Node by RSquad Blockchain Lab is now live, a production-grade implementation of the TON protocol built for scale.
What makes it interesting:

• Launch a node in under 10 minutes with Docker & Helm
• Manage your whole validator fleet with Nodectl
• Private keys never stored unencrypted (Vault integration)

One node or a hundred, same deployment effort.

💎 Why TON Pay?

Payments shouldn’t require every builder to create their own infrastructure.

In many Telegram apps, payments previously meant building wallets, checkout, settlement and handling the full flow independently.

TON Pay simplifies this 🫴

One SDK. A ready-to-go solution for Mini Apps, bots, and backend services. One-time payments, recurring payments, and subscriptions. Non-custodial, so funds remain under user control.

Less complexity. More building. ⛏

📩 New report: Telegram as the default AI interface

A new report from IdentityHub explores why Telegram is becoming a natural interface for AI, where conversations, workflows and automation happen directly in chat.

For creators, builders and communities on TON, this model unlocks new ways to interact with users and deploy AI-powered services.
