🗺Telegram Mini Apps and TON in Asia Last November, the TON Foundation joined forces with Future3 Campus, Hashkey Capital, and Wanxiang Blockchain Labs to launch TON Bootcamp in Asia. It is an acceleration program designed to stimulate the development of mini-applications in the Web3 ecosystem. This fundamental accelerator will put together old-timers with new developers to build Telegram: the largest super-application combining Web2 and Web3. Old-timers are those who have extensive experience developing Web Apps for WeChat and others.

The reasoning behind the Telegram SuperApp is obvious: to create an integrated ecosystem of mini-apps built upon Telegram messenger and @wallet cryptopayments. The focus is on Asia because its population is familiar with the concept of SuperApps such as Weibo and WeChat.

The TON Foundation selected projects from almost 200 applications and, after careful consideration, admitted 12 into the program. Their teams will undergo a 10-week training program on product development, operations, marketing, and compliance. Here are the 12 participants to join the TON Bootcamp accelerator: - Tradoor: a decentralized derivatives trading platform that leverages TON scalability to enhance the user experience - NFBT Ticketing: a mini-app that allows cinemas to sell movie tickets to users with TON wallets - WowFish: a casual social game about fishing - Xircus: a code-free platform for creating, deploying, and managing cross-chain dApps and mini-apps compatible with Telegram/mobile devices for Web2 and Web3 businesses - Bounty Bay: a TON native social commerce platform designed for creators and brands to effectively distribute products - BOOM UP: a GameFi mini-app combining social engagement and profit opportunities through the construction, protection, and improvement of personalized towers with NFT buffs - Anome: a protocol for issuing and lending value-based gaming NFT assets and a fully functioning onchain - Telemetree: an analytical service designed specifically for the TON and Telegram Mini App ecosystems - TonStash: a microinvestment project that makes it easy for users to participate in decentralized financing (DeFi) - HypeSaints: a mobile game console with NFT support - DaoBot: a decentralized bot for community management on Telegram - TonsofFriends: directory allowing easy purchase and sale of access to premium communities The training program officially launched on January 28 in Hong Kong in a private event and will end in May with the Demo Day event. You can find more details on the TON blog. Currently, all attention is focused on attracting experienced mini-application builders to the Telegram ecosystem, followed by TON integration. Perhaps in the near future, they will find a solution to create a TMA constructor to facilitate entry of users and businesses, as well as free access to Web2 and Web3 applications.

🖥DDoS attack or weak infrastructure? At the moment, a number of services, such as explorers and Tonkeeper, may experience unstable operation due to excessive traffic on liteservers. Yesterday, the TON Console channel reported a short-term maintenance interruption due to technical issues with the TON API.

This was caused by a DDoS attack from 3400 IP addresses from multiple data centers.

Last evening, the Tonkeeper news channel also reported attacks on liteservers, TON Center, GetBlock and Tonhub.

A flood-attack is a low-level attempt to clog bandwidth and drain the resources of indexing services (TON API) through fictitious requests.

This started to happen over the hype around GRAM mining, as can be seen from the following trends in transaction growth:

January 30 | 1.2 million tx January 31 | 3.2 million tx | +166% February 1 | 4.9 million tx | +53% February 2 | 2.7 million tx | -44% February 3 | 3.1 million tx | +14% February 4 | 4.6 million tx | +48% February 5 | 5.2 million tx | +13%

From January 30 to February 5, the number of transactions on the network increased by 333%, and the throughput reached up to 60 transactions per second, according to data from TON Stat and TON Center. We hope our devs will fix all the problems as soon as possible and get back to stable operation. Your anti-gaslighter @TonPost

💰A failed attempt to launder $2 million over the TON network Europol successfully caught the hacker who used a cryptojacking scheme to exploit other people's virtual assets. Cryptojacking is a type of cybercrime involving the unauthorized use of devices by malicious actors to mine cryptocurrency. A young guy managed to set up a million virtual servers for mining crypto without spending a cent. They got on his case at the beginning of last year, when one of the national internet providers reported a massive breach in its cloud storage accounts. Through joint efforts of the internet provider, the local police and Europol, they managed to identify the attacker and get a hold of him. On January 16th, it was reported that the case was in the bag: the villain was caught and interrogated. His first successful heist was hacking the servers of an e-commerce platform stealing 1,500 accounts in one click. The attacker found innovative ways to transfer money, including through TON crypto wallets, so skillfully that he was able to evade justice for two whole years. But eventually, law enforcement got the upper hand. Now this poor fellow is waiting for his trial. If you are hoping for your cryptocurrency investment to be fruitful, be sure to keep your guard up. This story is a sobering reminder. In the virtual world, security is of the utmost importance. It's time to learn, strengthen your defenses, and stay in touch. What's your take on this? Should we be concerned that the TON blockchain is being used in cyberattacks to launder funds? Share your opinion and let us know. Your cyber police @TonPost👮

🙏The Open Network - a new horizon of digital freedom Many technologies in the world provide users with new levels of freedom and security. One of these technologies is the TON blockchain, paving new paths for digital currencies and communications. Let's dive into it and figure out why TON may well become a new horizon of digital freedom. In 2017, Pavel Durov, the founder of VK and Telegram and his team launched the Gram cryptocurrency and the TON network itself (Telegram Open Network). The group attracted investments of $ 1.7 billion, and after 2 years of development, in 2019, the SEC (US Securities Commission) demanded the prohibition of Gram. May 2020, Telegram's founder stated that TON is being discontinued. Durov transferred the technology and its source code to the community. A contest was held, after which a team of developers called TON Foundation continued work on the network. What is TON? The Open Network is a multi-blockchain platform created to expand the possibilities of cryptocurrencies and meet the needs of millions of users. Тoncoin is the fuel of the TON ecosystem. The Toncoin token serves as an internal currency inside the TON ecosystem and is used to pay for various transactions on the network. The main goal of TON is to provide high-speed, secure and convenient services such as messaging, data storage and payment processing. You can get acquainted with its roadmap in this page. How does the TON blockchain work? A blockchain is a chain of blocks containing information that is protected by cryptographic methods. Like other blockchains, TON ensures transparency and security of transactions, with no external intermediaries. Main products of the TON network: TON Storage: a decentralized data storage system (such as a Torrent) that allows users to keep information safe and accessible. TON DNS: offers memorable and convenient names for wallet addresses and sites on the TON network. For example, name.ton replaces a complex numeric address. TON Proxy is a service that provides anonymous and secure access to TON network sites, hiding the user's IP address and encrypting his traffic. How does TON differentiate itself from other blockchains? - Low transactions commissions over the network - Innovative structure with millions of transactions processed per second - User-friendly applications and interfaces simplify access to blockchain technologies for a wide audience - A range of services including payments and decentralized applications (dApps) - Partial integration with the legendary Telegram messenger How and where can TON be used? - Transfer funds worldwide, instantly and securely - Various decentralized applications, tools, services, games and more - Create of smart contracts, the execution of which is automated in the blockchain, minimizing risks and costs Where to get started? To start working with TON, simply create a wallet, which is provided by several platforms. You can find out where to buy TON here. The next step will be to explore the platform's resources and community to gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities it provides. TON captivates users through its mission to make blockchain accessible and useful for everyone. While the path to mastering blockchain technologies is still ahead, TON sets the stage for a revolution in digital interaction and pushes the horizons of digital freedom for all of us.

🌐Spoiler of the upcoming TON Browser During last year's Gateway conference in Dubai, TON Browser was announced, featuring support for TON Sites. A small video preview has recently emerged in Telegram Mini Apps showcasing the TON Browser concept. The concept shows the ability to search for TON sites, create your own page, as well as, presumingly, a catalog of ready-made TON sites. We thank the honorable Mr. Al Robin for sharing with us this discovery. The app also has a community on Open Sites, though the web app itself is currently not working. The price of TON DNS domains will definitely react to the release of this feature, the number of sites will increase (they already exist), and Telegram will get additional traffic from the usage of and interaction with Web3 sites. We are waiting for the release of the product, as this is another step towards the world of Web3, all within the comfort of our favorite Telegram messenger. Your DNS @DeepTonEng

💎Notcoin Notcoin is a game from the team TOP (formerly FS Labs). It is jointly developed with the Happy Santa group, who previously worked on VKCoin. The project is positioned as a meme-clicker. Having received proactive support from the TON Foundation, Notcoin then organically got the attention of influencers on Twitter, Telegram, TikTok, and even Twitch, so it took $0 to market the game. Thanks to this, any friends and acquaintances from the Web2 world may tell you about this new phenomenon. Since the release of the game, more than 3 trillion coins have been mined, its number of players has reached more than 11 million, and its daily active userbase is 3.5 million. The point of the game is to collect as many coins as possible and get to the TOP with your squad (team), acquiring boosts and various kinds of improvements to reach the top faster. There are also additional tasks in Notcoin that provide extra coins. This is very positive for our ecosystem, as many tasks are related to TON ecosystem projects, such as Tonstarter, Wallet, Egg Fight Club, Telegram Mini Apps, and others. All these tasks come from TOP, which can also include other projects on a commercial basis. A long time ago, at the inception of Gram, whenever Pavel Durov was mentioned in a post such as "A new cryptocurrency from Pavel Durov," etc., it was instantly flagged as "scam" on the channel that published a post with such content. Telegram had automatic triggers for such publications, which were sent for review, then most probably deleted. Now, whenever influencers use such aggressive tactics with similar phrases, they typically don't get flagged, which points towards double standards. Let's address any potential false arguments right away: - Notcoin is a game currency that cannot be withdrawn and has not been listed anywhere (as of this time) - Pavel Durov has nothing to do with this game nor its currency, obviously - Information about earnings and benefits of a clicker game is unreliable This is an excellent application that will introduce an influx of traffic from various parts of the world to the Telegram and TON ecosystem. In our opinion, thanks to this people will get acquainted with Telegram Mini Apps and their capabilities, as well as with the wonderful TON ecosystem, which is rapidly developing. → Go to the game → Go to the Notcoin community Your clicker @DeepTonEng

Reku is the first private exchange launched on the Binance Cloud platform and aims to become the most reliable digital asset exchange on the market. TON's listing on Reku increases its availability and presence in Southeast Asia. Step by step, TON expands into new areas and penetrates various markets, thereby accelerating the influx of new investors and enthusiasts. Your Indonesian @DeepTonEng

🔄Update The problem was related to an error in the software code on the part of xRocket, leading to a double transfer of funds, and not hacking. The team has acknowledged the error, compensated the users and took measures to prevent similar cases in the future. We are confident that they will overcome this problem very soon and return to business as usual, providing valuable services to our community. Your unbroken @DeepTonEng

🔓xRocket got hacked This morning, users of the multifunctional custodial wallet xRocket had trouble withdrawing tokens from the TON network. The following information is tentative and requires verification. Several Russian-language sources reported that withdrawing TON and tokens was not possible, unless assets were converted to USDT. The hacker commented about this in a post. Later, the user that got hold of the wallet wrote:

You should be thankful that I did it. If it had been someone else, he probably wouldn't have returned anything.

Dmitry Nekelov indeed returned 50,000 TON (1 • 2 • 3). He also claimed to have received 30,000$ as a reward, as well as 'other benefits'. Отследить другие транзакции вы можете в этом кошельке. At the moment, the wallet has been suspended, and the xRocket team has stated the following:

"Technical maintenance, the bot will be launched within a few hours. Please be patient."

This is another case that demonstrates how vulnerable our funds are in custodial services. After all, all the hard-earned funds can be stolen or seized due to the lack of a private key. (Not to diss xRocket, but it's a valid point to consider). Let's wait for more details as the story develops. Your @DeepTonEng
