๐Ÿฆ€ ton-rs โ€” Idiomatic Rust toolkit for TON builders

Write TON dApps the Rust way with a modern crate family: ton_core, ton, and ton_macros.

โœจ Why devs will love it
โ€ข Type-safe TON primitives: Cells/BOCs, addresses, TL-B parsing/serialization
โ€ข Zero-boilerplate TL-B: derive layouts with #[derive(TLB)] from ton_macros
โ€ข Two network clients:
โ€“ TLClient (behind the tonlibjson feature) using TONโ€™s TonLib API
โ€“ Built-in lite client (always available) using ADNL + Lite API
โ€ข Block.TLB coverage: a large set of predefined block.tlb types in ton/src/block_tlb/
โ€“ tx.rs (transactions), msg.rs (messages), tvm_stack.rs (TVM stack) โ€” parse raw chain data & traces out of the box
โ€ข Practical examples to get you shipping fast

Welcome to Cocoon โ€” the Confidential Compute Open Network

Cocoon is a decentralized network for executing AI inference securely and privately.

In this network, app developers reward GPU owners with TON for processing inference requests.

Telegram will be the first major customer to use Cocoon for confidential AI queries โ€” and will invest heavily in promoting the network across its global ecosystem.

๐Ÿ”จ App developers who want to run inference through Cocoon are invited to contact us via DMs to this channel.

Please specify which model architecture you plan to use (e.g., DeepSeek, Qwen), along with your expected daily query volume and average input/output token size.

๐Ÿ’ก GPU owners who want to earn TON by contributing compute power can also message this channel using the ๐Ÿ’ฌ button below.

Please indicate how many GPUs you can provide and include details such as type (e.g., H200), VRAM, and expected uptime.

Cocoon is ready โ€” launching in November, once weโ€™ve gathered your applications.

โœˆ๏ธ TEP-526: Scaled UI Standard Adopted for TON

The Scaled UI standard has been officially adopted, introducing a unified way for wallets and dApps to display token amounts using a scaling factor โ€” enabling advanced token models such as rebasing and yield accrual, while preserving full on-chain accuracy.

This ensures consistent and transparent balance representation across the TON ecosystem.

โค๏ธ Thanks to the community and early adopters โ€” all teams working with jettons are encouraged to implement this standard for consistent user experience.

๐Ÿซง Tolk v1.2: rich bounced messages, cheap deployment, and a breaking change that you'll love

Tolk v1.2 is here, aligned with TVM 12 โ€” bringing new assembler instructions that make contracts cheaper and cleaner.

This update introduces one breaking change, several powerful new capabilities, and a few quality-of-life improvements across the compiler.

โœ… Notable changes in Tolk v1.2:

1. Breaking change: address is now "internal only"
2. Rich bounces: not 256 bits, but the full body on bounce
3. Cheap builder-to-slice, StateInit, and address composition
4. Improved compilation errors
5. Anonymous functions (lambdas)
6. Borrow checker to catch undefined behavior

PR on GitHub with detailed info.

โœ” `address` is now "internal only"

Before:
* address meant internal/external/none

Now:
* address โ€” internal only
* address? (nullable) โ€” internal/none, exactly like "maybe address" in @ton/core
* any_address โ€” internal/external/none

In 99% of contracts only internal addresses are used. External ones are rare, and "none" can be expressed as nullable.


struct Storage {
// internal, checked automatically
owner: address
}


With new TVM 12 instructions, addresses are validated automatically during (de)serialization without extra gas โ€” no more manual isInternal() checks.

So yes, it's technically a breaking change, but it removes a ton of noise.

A short migration guide, as well as technical details, available here.

โœ” Rich bounced messages

Historically, a bounced message only returned the first 256 bits of the original body.

Now TVM 12 supports rich bounces โ€” which lets you obtain the entire body instead.


createMessage({
    bounce: BounceMode.RichBounce,
    ...
})


In onBouncedMessage, you get access to the original body, exit code, gas used, and more.

Old true/false bounce flags still work for backward compatibility.

Rich bounces simplify complex message flows and inter-contract communication โ€” one of the most painful aspects of TON until now.

โœ” Cheap builder-to-slice and address composition

Previously, converting a builder to a slice (endCell + beginParse) consumed a lot of gas because cells are expensive. Now there's a new instruction โ€” BTOS (builder-to-slice) โ€” without intermediate cell creation.

- b.endCell().beginParse() is now cheap: auto-optimized to BTOS
- "builder-to-address" is the same BTOS; hacks around "return a builder with a valid address" can be removed
- cheaper StateInit hashing and address calculations

Just update to Tolk v1.2 + TVM 12, and you'll immediately save gas.

โœ” Anonymous functions (lambdas)

Can be used in general-purpose frameworks, perfectly integrated with the type system:


fun customRead(reader: (slice) -> int) { ... }

customRead(fun(s) {
return s.loadUint(32)
})


โœ” Low-level compiler enhancements

Also included: better diagnostics with precise ranges, new peephole optimizations, tuple โ†” object conversions, and multiple small fixes. A lightweight borrow checker prevents undefined behavior on concurrent mutations.

As always, all additions are carefully described in a PR.

๐ŸŒณ We've also started improving TVM itself โ€” new assembler instructions are designed specifically to fit the Tolk type system and optimizer. I have always said: the language is just the beginning. Perfect developer experience requires improving every layer of TON's stack. The road may be sharp and curvy โ€” but we're definitely heading in the right direction.

๐Ÿซง Tolk documentation โ€” now complete and available for learning from scratch

From now on, Tolk has full, structured, from-scratch documentation โ€” not just "Tolk vs FunC", but a complete language guide that lets developers approach Tolk directly, without any FunC background.

This is a major milestone. Tolk is the recommended language for TON, and now it finally has documentation that matches this role.

Read โ†’

โ†“ What's inside

The documentation covers the entire language:

โถ Type system.
Every type on its own page: numbers, addresses, structures, generics, etc. โ€” plus overall explanations for TVM layout and serialization.

โท Syntax details.
Functions, conditions, loops, exceptions, and more โ€” with minimal descriptions and clear examples.

โธ Language features.
Everything needed for smart-contract development: message sending, contract storage, automatic serialization, etc.

โน Migration from FunC.
A complete guide for FunC builders โ€” including the mindset shift Tolk encourages.

... And several articles for experienced divers. They reveal compiler internals and the language philosophy. My favourite โ€” Stop thinking in TL-B.

ใ‰ˆ Hundreds of examples

Every distinct aspect is covered with usage examples โ€” properly highlighted in both light and dark mode.

No matter whether you are new to TON or have been here for years โ€” you'll definitely find a few tricks you've never seen before.

โˆž This documentation in numbers

All together, the new Tolk documentation contains:
โ€ข 46 pages
โ€ข 480 snippets
โ€ข 40000 words
โ€ข 280000 characters

I invested ~200 hours developing the text and picking every word.
I hope that, cumulatively, this documentation will save noticeably more time for all TON developers.

๐ŸŒณ Thanks to everyone who reviewed the pull request and pointed out occasional mistakes or misprints. Just imagine the amount of content they had to deal with.

TON Vanity

Meet the new blazingly fast vanity address generator for TON smart contracts!

The previous state-of-the-art solution was released 3 years ago and hasn't improved much since. We at TON Studio decided to develop a completely new solution from scratch, following the usage patterns the previous solution introduced.

Optimizations in both the smart contract and the kernel lead to extreme generation speedups. In realistic usage scenarios on an RTX 4090, the generator finds suffix patterns up to 5,100x faster, and prefix patterns up to 3,600x faster. In practice, this allows finding about 2 more letters than before in appropriate time.

Apart from the crazy speedups, there's a simple interface for TypeScript usage, like in smart contract tests and deployment scripts. Applying the generated vanity address requires writing just a few extra lines of code. The generator's output was improved too, storing all results in a structured JSON format with all useful metadata. Quality-of-life improvements include a polished CLI experience, comprehensive test coverage, and a benchmark script for comparing future optimizations.

The tool will be maintained and improved over time. The entire development process is open on GitHub, and contributions and feedback are welcome. A detailed write-up covering all optimizations and the development process will be published soon, for those who are interested.

What's live now:
โ–ช๏ธ Wallet management and transaction sending
โ–ช๏ธ DeFi integration (swaps, staking)
โ–ช๏ธ TON Connect support
โ–ช๏ธ TypeScript and React support
โ–ช๏ธ LLM-friendly (describe an app, build a prototype in minutes)

WalletKit is also production-ready for wallet developers on iOS, Android, React Native, and Web.
More features coming at Gateway (May 1-2).
