🎤 TON Real Talk Ep.6 is LIVE!

💎 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.

The level of creativity was unmatched & we are going to use many of your artworks for our social media posts. That's why having your Artist tag on the artwork is important, as we may not always tag you directly.

📊 You can now take a look at the leaderboard with the final results right here

Besides that, We decided to highlight several more amazing artworks, that unfortunately didn’t make it to top20, but are very stunning & deserve some attention:

• @promiseitachi - see the art
• 0xryutaro - see the art
• @Rakanawasaka - see the art
• @ErinaBASE_Art - see the art

P.S.(i) we had over 600 artwork submitted by the participants, which has taken much longer time to go through than we expected, and unfortunately there's no quick fix for this matter, for what we seek your understanding. (ii) If your artwork wasn’t shown on the show it doesn’t necessarily mean that it was not included in the competition, and in fact you can see the final scoring of your artwork within the MiniApp itself. (iii) we’ve strived to achieve transparency each step of the way, and will continue working on improvements ahead of the next edition of TON Art Contest.

There are a few more ideas that we are thinking to incorporate, but more on that later!

The winners will receive a message from @artcontestjudge_bot & Prizes will be distributed to the winners within the next 7 days
