💎Bybit executives resign after the Notcoin incident Following the incident involving the deposit delay with Notcoin, several key figures from Bybit, the third-largest offshore exchange, "voluntarily resigned." According to an internal memo addressed to all employees, Bybit is now publicly seeking new technical specialists and spot trading managers. The Notcoin incident affected 320,000 users, and Bybit had to compensate $23 million. Due to technical and communication issues, Bybit users received their Notcoin tokens late, could not sell them immediately, causing significant inconvenience and financial losses. The Bybit team worked tirelessly to resolve the balance display issue after the Notcoin airdrop to Bybit, which has caused delays. While Bybit's wallet struggled to process around 370,000 Notcoin transactions, it delayed updating user balances. So they decided to manually credit balances to provide access to Notcoin before the market opened. Bybit created a compensation plan and credited all 320,000 affected users, expressing deep regret for the issues encountered and assuring that a thorough internal investigation is being conducted to prevent similar incidents in the future. Notcoin has stirred quite a few CEXs, apps, and even Telegram chatrooms, both inside and outside its ecosystem. And to think that this is just one such project in the TON ecosystem, imagine what will happen next! 😨 Source Your recruiter @TonPost

💵Gasless transactions from MyTonWallet and Tonkeeper TON ecosystem continues to delight users with innovations. Recently, MyTonWallet and Tonkeeper introduced features that allow transactions to be made even with zero TON balance, as well as gasless transfers for USDT and NOT (Notcoin). We recently discussed this in our post about USDT on TON. MyTonWallet and Tonkeeper users can now send and exchange USDT, even if they have a zero TON balance. With the new wallet W5, users no longer need TON to pay the network fee for USDT transfers. The fee is deducted automatically from the USDT balance. MyTonWallet also supports NOT exchange similarly to USDT. However, TON balance is still required for operations with other tokens and NFTs. These breakthroughs open up significant possibilities for TON, as they simplify sending and exchanging tokens through wallets. This is particularly important for users who may not always want to hold TON on their balance. Gasless transactions are also faster and cheaper than in other wallets, making TON ecosystem even more attractive to users and developers. Some blockchains already have gasless transactions, but their implementation and availability vary. For example, Ethereum blockchain supports technologies for paying fees with tokens through special contracts, but they are not as widely accessible and require additional configuration. Thus, TON is at the forefront of innovation, making its service more accessible and convenient than its competitors. And the best is yet to come! Your gasless @TonPost

🌟Telegram to launch its internal currency: Telegram Stars This decision was due to multiple complaints from Apple, who prohibits accepting payments outside its app store. Apple notified Telegram that its bots, which accept payments for digital goods and services directly from customers, go against the App Store policy. This practice bypasses Apple's in-app purchase mechanism, violating Rules 4.7 and 3.1.1 of the app review guidelines. Starting June 12, all bots accepting payments for any digital goods or subscriptions will be required to be paid exclusively in Telegram Stars. Users can purchase it through Apple and Google's in-app purchases and then use it to pay for digital goods and services. Developers will then be able to withdraw their balance through the TON blockchain. The Telegram team announced that it will publish the fully updated API documentation in the coming days. Developers can already adapt their bots and mini-applications to the new requirements. These changes do not affect payments for physical goods and services. More information will be available on the @botnews channel. The introduction of the internal currency Telegram Stars is a response to Apple's complaints and its requirements to comply with the App Store policy. This solution grants compliance with Apple's rules, because the internal currency will be purchased directly through Apple and Google's in-app purchases and will be used to pay for digital goods and services. However, this points that Apple is unhappy with Telegram's current practices and seeks to strengthen control over payments passing through its ecosystem. Let's see where this goes.

Tether, TON Foundation and Oobit join forces to revolutionize payments Tether Operations Limited announced a new strategic collaboration with Oobit, a mobile payment app, and the TON Foundation. Together, the companies aim to transform cryptocurrency payments by offering users the most convenient and seamless way to conduct transactions.

"We are excited to collaborate with Oobit and the TON Foundation to expand Tether’s utility and promote the adoption of cryptocurrency payments. This collaboration underscores our commitment to driving innovation and accessibility in this space. Together, we will provide banking solutions to the unbanked population and revolutionize how users transact with cryptocurrencies, making it easier and more convenient," commented Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.

The framework of the new partnership is based on integrating USDT and XAUT (a cryptocurrency backed by real gold) on the TON platform, which will improve the speed, security, and cost-effectiveness of fund transfers among users in the TON ecosystem. A key step in this direction was issuing over $200 million USDT on the TON blockchain. This allows users to send USDT via Telegram and instantly pay using the Oobit cryptocurrency wallet.

"At Oobit, we’re driven by a mission to empower individuals to harness the full potential of digital assets. Our collaboration with the TON Foundation and Tether exemplifies this commitment. We’re not just providing another payment option; we’re providing unbanked access to the most prominent cryptocurrencies and worldwide payments using Oobit" said Amram Adar, its CEO.

The Oobit platform features the convenient Tap & Pay function, enabling sellers to receive fiat even when paid in USDT cryptocurrency. This makes cryptocurrency more practical and accessible a wide audience.

"We are celebrating this collaboration with Oobit and Tether to enhance the TON ecosystem,” said Victor Mendes, Head of Business Development at Wallet. “This integration is making cryptocurrency accessible and easy to use. By integrating Toncoin into Oobit’s Tap & Pay feature, millions of users may enjoy a simple Web3 on- and off-ramp experience. Together, we’re accelerating toward our vision of putting crypto in every pocket and driving mass adoption globally." said Victor Mendes, Head of Business Development at Wallet.

By integrating USDT into TON and enabling payments via Telegram, users will enjoy fast, secure, and convenient P2P transactions. Collaboration with Oobit will allow millions of people, including those without a bank account, to access digital assets and use them in everyday life. Such integration not only expands the use of cryptocurrency but also brings a new level of accessibility and convenience in the digital economy. Telegram, one of the most popular messengers in the world, becomes a key element of this ecosystem, setting new standards for cryptocurrency payments and creating a truly global financial network of the future.
