😍 TON becoms more accessible to developers – the language for TVM Blockchains Tolk

🧲 At the recent TON Gateway, the blockchain team announced a new programming language, TON Tolk, which is more learning-friendly than FunC and designed for creating core network programs

👨‍💻 FunC is awesome. It is really low-level and encourages a programmer to think about compiler internals. It gives full control over TVM assembler, allowing a programmer to make his contract as effective as possible

😎 But there is a problem. FunC is "functional C", and it's for ninja. If you are keen on Lisp and Haskell, you'll be happy. But if you are a JavaScript / Go / Kotlin developer, its syntax is peculiar for you, leading to occasional mistakes. A struggle with syntax may decrease your motivation for digging into TON

🏆 Imagine, what if there was a language, also smart, also low-level, but not functional and not like C?

*⃣ Telegram has introduced the most affordable way for businesses to verify their customers phone numbers — just $0.01 per code, anywhere in the world

🤩 Now companies can save millions by sending verification codes directly to users through Telegram. This method is much cheaper, faster, and more secure than traditional SMS verification

💰 Phone number verification is a multibillion-dollar industry. Telegram spends around $10 million a month to authenticate all users who sign up and login system

💪 I believe this is a big step in the development of the Telegram ecosystem and will provide great opportunities for any IT business

🥳 We have reached the milestone of 1,000,000 subscribers!

🎖 This is the first big achievement within my personal blog on Telegram. We reached this figure quite quickly and it proves once again that this platform supports authors and their content

📕 Some time ago, I started learning about Web3 technologies and I couldn't even imagine that in such a short time it is possible to gather such a large community of interested users within a single blockchain. And that blockchain was undoubtedly TON

🌈 In the near future, I will be sharing our developments on both current applications and new ones. It will be the great endless adventure that everyone has been waiting for and has yet to see

Back to the city on the Neva 🛥

Early September found me back in St. Petersburg. While not my first visit, the city welcomed me like an old friend – familiar charm infused with fresh discoveries.

The Hermitage still awed with its opulence, the Peterhof fountains sparkled as always, but this time I ventured beyond the well-trodden tourist paths.

Autumn painted the city in a special light. Parks donned golden hues, and the cool air whispered of centuries past.
