TON Community

Live stream scheduled for Sep 27 at 15:00

Coming Up: The largest crypto onboarding event ever

This week, TON blockchain has seen record traffic, with new projects bringing unprecedented on-chain activities to Web3. 

On September 20, Catizen officially launched with 18M monthly active users, followed by Rocky Rabbit (18M MAU) and WatBird (12M MAU) on September 23. Despite the millions of interactions, TON blockchain has handled it all smoothly. 

But tomorrow is the biggest challenge yet: Hamster Kombat (with over 300M users since March) will begin airdropping tokens to 131M qualified users, making it the largest token launch ever. This will undoubtedly put technical pressure on the network and possibly create some unforeseen issues. To prepare, the Core Dev team has developed Mintless Jettons technology, allowing for the instant distribution of tokens to millions of users with gas fees under $1.

Unprecedented times lead to unprecedented solutions. What is being attempted on TON has never been attempted before in crypto. It’s clear that TON Community is truly working toward putting crypto in every pocket. Every new user gets us closer to that goal - the mass adoption of freedom tech.

LFG 💎✊

Introducing TON Mintless Jettons

TON’s Mintless Jetton technology enables instant distribution to millions of users with network fees under $1. Cryptography and smart contracts guarantee ownership, and the Core Dev team tested it with Mintless Points, distributing to 18M wallets on the TON mainnet (for testing purposes only, no other value).

Mintless Jettons are fully compatible with regular jettons, with the key difference being that the smart contract is created when a user takes their first action. This innovation is designed to address the hundreds of millions of user engagements on TON. Products like Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Tonviewer, Tonscan.org, TON API, dTON, Toncenter, and SafePal will soon support this innovation.

Mark your calendars! On September 26, Hamster Kombat will leverage this tech for what could be the largest airdrop in crypto history!

TON Memelandia at Token2049: Updates & Exciting Plans

Just a few months ago, TON Memelandia became the focus of memecoin communities on the TON blockchain. Many memecoins took part in The Open League, along with strong fundamental tokens.

Now, Memelandia is transforming into something even more exciting - a decentralised land ruled by memes. Cabal Arena, Memecoin Mountain, Launchpad Lair, Community Forest and Lagoon of Digital Resistance are just the first few realms that will soon emerge on its lands.

What’s coming:

▪️ Exciting battles of traders & memecoin producers in the Cabal Arena
▪️ Fair fights of largest meme communities on the Memecoin Mountain
▪️ Large prizes and airdrops
▪️ Regular assemblies in the Community forest (aka X Spaces)

The first milestone for Memelandia is to make waves at MEMECON, the second largest side event at Token2049, featuring speakers from Blum, DOGS, durev, REDO, FISH, STON.fi, Mittens, and TON Foundation. Expect major announcements, giveaways in toncoin, and TON memecoins!

To ensure smooth transactions and accurate tracking of your Normie and Degen airdrop activities, we’re giving the system a breather.

Key Points:

▪️ All your activity from the first week of Season 6 is recorded—nothing is lost.
▪️ Normie and Degen badge minting will also be paused, but you can request them once we restart.
