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

💎 WalletConnect now supports TON.

WalletConnect's global network, which connects 500M+ users across 700+ wallets and facilitated more than $400B in transaction volume in 2025, now has access to TON's expanding stablecoin economy and DeFi ecosystem.

To enable this, TON Connect protocol has been extended to support WalletConnect as a transport layer, allowing TON dApps to interact with multichain wallets without building wallet connection support from scratch.

💎 What this means for the ecosystem:

• Wallets with WalletConnect can now support TON with minimal integration effort.
• Institutions gain access to TON's DeFi and liquidity layer.
• Apps can attract non-TON native audiences.

🏅 Fireblocks and SafePal are among the first to integrate TON through WalletConnect. Through Fireblocks' network of 2,400+ institutional clients, organizations can now tap into TON-based DeFi, including liquidity pools and liquid staking, and incorporate TON into existing treasury workflows.

With institutional capital flowing in, TON's DeFi platforms like STON.fi, DeDust, Tonstakers, Affluent, Storm, and TONCO stand to benefit from deeper liquidity, which in turn means better opportunities for everyday crypto users.
