Alex, TON, HODL

Another TON interaction to improve the platform This time with Rubic. It is a multichain technology aggregator for dApps and users. Rubic also provides swaps, bridges and cross-chain routing. To celebrate the collab, a TON DeFi Month campaign is being launched - it will earn rewards and learn more about blockchain. What more can be said about integrations and collaborations ;) Cool, nice, let's do more😌

Oh my, what good news I've missed The Open Network update is scheduled for tomorrow! What do they wanna update? They promise to show an additional deflation mechanism that will improve tokenomics if validators want it. Sounds interesting, intriguing and unclear. Will validators agree? Probably, since the question has already been raised, yep. Purely statistically, they are more likely to agree ;) So, we'll soon find out about the additional deflation mechanism. What do you think?

Geez, not really a TON topic, but I wanna share some info Have you noticed that the tether (USDT) and USD coin (USDC) stables haven't even flinched amid the panic around the US default. Not a bit. Who doesn't know the situation at all - the banking crisis in the US has smoothly turned into a possible threat of default, but now the government has already bailed out of the situation. And now a lot of traditional assets wobbled on this one - Stablecoins were standing like rooted to the spot👏🏻 That’s the very precedent that demonstrates to the world that crypto is not an appendage to the conventional economy. That it is something different - something that can guarantee the protection of your assets. Big moment for the crypto industry, let me tell you, big ;) Good evening everyone and have a productive week, by the way (even though it's not Monday anymore😁)

TON listing on another Indian cryptocurrency exchange This time Flitpay has announced the listing of a TON coin. The trading pair will be TON/INR with zero commission. What about the popularity? Pretty good as far as I can tell from being out of India😁 What matters to us is the very fact - the appearance of TON on other "geolocations" of our earth;)

All those who wanted to become TON-ized in the highest degree - you have the chance You can now become a TON Ambassador! This opportunity is now available on the official site☝🏻 This status gives you access to exclusive opportunities and benefits within the TON ecosystem. Not every ecosystem fan will be interested in this degree of immersion, so I won't list in detail. Bonuses include everything from early access and internships to limited edition merch. I think people interested are already aware, but I'll leave a link to the application. It's another positive step for the ecosystem to work with developers and team 👏🏻

Holy thing... A very concise but interesting hardware wallet concept, in which payment is made with TON. And not with a QR code and the like, but with a card. Naturally, the TON card. Of course, we should mention the team that created this concept - Ammer Card. It is unlikely that such a thing will be available any time soon. Yay, there are precedents - for example, in Switzerland, where cryptocurrency payment was piloted in Mac in '22. But the concept cool👏🏻 That's still 5-7 years to wait.

It's going well! Watching TON is like watching a horse race - luckily, your favourite comes out on top;) Just recently, according to CoinGecko, TON rocketed into the top 10 most popular coins. Now rewind time back a year or two and rub the noses of all doubters😉 Yes, the ecosystem definitely has room to grow - there's always room for it. And it's good to see that this has been a very important year for TON in that respect. The updates are getting bigger and the events are getting more massive. Hence the rise in popularity. I'm looking forward to seeing TON even higher on the list this year ;)

Wanna earn some TON, huh? Sure, you do ;) Then check out the Common Premium Tournament in the top 5 leagues which started yesterday! The tournament is truly big - prize pool is 400 TON for the first five places and another 6 TON for the first 20%. Terms and conditions are the same - entry 3 TON, you can enter more than 1 team, Common card from top 5 leagues. (Anyone who is thinking of participating knows what I am talking about.) Follow the tournament info here. Hopefully we lead someone to victory with this informative post😉

I've been meaning to show you this chick for a long time☝🏻 TON blockchain security assessment by auditor CertiK. Certik is a verification platform for blockchain applications. Just as a hospital without a certificate cannot accept citizens for treatment, so too do cryptoprojects want a 'piece of paper' from CertiK. It's like a governing body in the blockchain world. The Certik project team is trying to mathematically prove the perfection of blockchain application code. TON has a great result!

Here’s a great interview with a pretty cool person! The technical leader of TON, Anatoly Makosov. He has put a lot of effort into resurrecting blockchain and has succeeded. The link to the interview is here. And here I will give a clipping where Anatoly answers the question everyone is interested in - what's next for us: "In the first half of 2023, we are actively working to bring together and "brush up" everything that was done in 2022... Tokenomics was optimised last quarter: this quarter we plan to introduce a deflation mechanism - burning 50% of the network commission. Work is underway on a new version of the smart stacking contract, which will make the process more convenient and accessible for regular users... new crosschain developments will be introduced this quarter, a torrent client for TON Storage, the most popular TON wallet - Tonkeeper will start to open .ton sites." Cool to get info from such an important person for blockchain. I just want (I'm straightforwardly very much) more interviews😁
