Payments shouldnβt 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.

Itβs time to announce the winners, following our Live Judging session!
But before that, we want to thank all the creators who participated in this initiative, as well as all the judges for their time & contribution to score each of the artworks!
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.
Besides that, We decided to highlight several more amazing artworks, that unfortunately didnβt make it to top20, but are very stunning & deserve some attention:
β’ @promiseitachi - see the art
β’ 0xryutaro - see the art
β’ @Rakanawasaka - see the art
β’ @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 wasnβt shown on the show it doesnβt 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) weβve 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
stay tuned for more π«΅

Sub-second finality: how to adapt your project
TON is rolling out Catchain 2.0, a consensus upgrade targeting sub-second block finality on mainnet in early April 2026.
What's changing:
β Block interval: ~2.5s β 200β400ms
β Finalization lag: ~10s β ~1s
β Throughput: up to ~5 blocks/sec
But a faster chain alone won't help users if apps still rely on old API.
We've published a step-by-step adoption guide covering:
πΉ Wallets & dApps: switch to TON Center Streaming API v2. Handle all four statuses:
πΉ Self-hosted nodes & liteservers: update to the latest release with Catchain 2.0 support before mainnet activation.
πΉ Indexers: prepare for up to 10x more blocks/sec. Connect to testnet and verify no lag accumulates over 30+ minutes.
Testnet already runs at sub-second speed. Test there now.
MyTonWallet and tonscan.org already use Streaming API and have nearly halved their reaction time, even before the mainnet upgrade.
π Full guide: How to adopt sub-second finality
Start adapting today. If your app isn't ready, users won't notice any improvement.
