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.

Hello everyone,

The Pyth oracle contract addresses have now been updated in the TON docs.

The new contract brings several performance improvements, including significantly reduced on-chain price verification costs (10-20x cheaper).

๐Ÿ’Ž AppKit | Alpha Announcement

TON is the blockchain built into Telegram. Apps built on TON can reach Telegram's billion+ users directly.

Until now, every team had to build wallet connections, transaction handling, and DeFi integrations from scratch. Weeks of work before a single line of product code.

Today we're announcing AppKit alpha to change that.

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).

๐Ÿ’Ž TON AI Agent Hackathon is here!

$20,000. Two tracks. Two weeks.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10K)
Build tooling and primitives that help power the next generation of AI applications on TON. This can include wallet integrations, agent coordination, payment flows, developer tools, and other core infrastructure.


Track 2: User facing Agents ($10K)
Build AI agents that users can interact with directly inside Telegram. This can include commerce agents, payment bots, assistants, trading tools, automation products, and other practical AI-powered experiences. These agents can be both user-facing products and part of agent-to-agent interactions on TON, including payments, coordination, and trust.


This is a much bigger shift than just one hackathon.

A new stack is emerging
โ€ข Telegram is the interaction and distribution layer
โ€ข AI is the execution engine.
โ€ข TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.

BotFather MAU grew from 3.5M to 7.4M after AI agents started taking off on Telegram. Developers are already moving. Now itโ€™s time to join the best builders on TON.

๐Ÿ“† Hackathon dates: March 11-25
