🏆Frontend contest: TON status page Prize fund: $30’000 in Toncoins (currently 10’000 TON). Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 17 (UTC). Task: Create a web app and corresponding open-source backend, which display summarized data on the state and availability of TON Blockchain. In particular, the page should display: - Performance and block rate of TON chains: masterchain and basechain (note that there may be more than one shard on basechain) - Performance and responsiveness of primary TON services: ton.org, ton.sh, toncenter.com - TON/ETH and TON/BSC bridge operability status - Status of main on-chain governance activity: validator elections, config votings, slashing. - Public liteservers performance: response time and sync state - Public DHT-servers performance - Basic on-chain stats: tps, accounts activity, transferred amount by type, number of validators API and integration with notification services (Telegram channel/bot) will increase your chances to win. Evaluation priorities: - The coverage and detail of basic metrics. - Speed and aesthetic appearance. - The complexity of the service deployment (we expect detailed instructions). - Understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support. Who can take part: Anyone. How do I submit: Comment on this issue on GitHub by attaching an archive or link to the open-source code with a solution, a description of the functionality, the build process, your TON address to receive an award. Submission must be under the MIT license. To avoid plagiarism, you can attach a link to a private repo to the submission and hash of the last commit, which you will make public after the deadline.

🏆 Frontend Contest: Frontend of DEX with liquidity pools, Stage 1. Prize fund: 30 000 TON. Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 30 (UTC). Task: Create a frontend of DEX with liquidity pools for TON Blockchain. In this stage, you need to create a working UI. Asynchronous calls to smart contracts must be mocked-up. We require a UI for exchanging one token for another token, a UI for creating a pool with two tokens, a UI for adding and removing liquidity from a pool, a UI with a list of pools and pool statistics. You can explore services like Uniswap and Pancake. You must use the Typescript+React+Redux stack. Extra dependencies and extra code are not welcome. You can't use the idea of just copying the entire open-source Uniswap code - there is a lot of unnecessary code there. When considering the design options, you can focus on the ton.org site, UI of standard wallets and bridge. You may find the brand assets page helpful. We deliberately did not give ready-made references so that you have the opportunity to rethink some things in using such services. Evaluation priorities: understandability of the code and the possibility of its further support, general correctness and speed of the application and attention to detail. Who can take part: Anyone. How do I submit: Please comment on this issue on GitHub by attaching an archive or link to the open-source code with a solution, a description of the functionality, a description of the build process, your TON address to receive an award. Submission must be under the MIT license. To avoid plagiarism, you can attach a link to a private repo to the submission, which you will make public after the deadline.

🏆 Non-technical Contest: Explanation of the blockchain Prize fund: 1000 TON. Deadline: 18:00 on Nov, 17 (UTC). Task: Explain in English or Russian how the blockchain works in simple words. This text should target an audience who are not familiar with blockchains. The text should not be larger than 1-2 pages. Explain the basic principles of blockchain technology (not just a specific one) - blocks, decentralized nodes, etc. We want to make TON blockchain for people, not just geeks, to help everyone buy, store and transfer assets in a convenient, familiar way. The clearest texts will be used in the corresponding sections of the ton.org and channels. Who can take part: Anyone. How do I submit: Please send a plain text message (not a file or Word document) to @toncontests_bot.

🏆 Security Bug Bounty Program. We have announced a permanent security bug bounty program. If you find a critical bug or vulnerability in the TON Blockchain (in the C ++ code of the main repository) or TON main services (standard wallets, bridge, standard smart contracts), you can send its description and exploitation scenario and receive a reward. We are interested in critical vulnerabilities: crash, loss/theft of coins, etc. You can target a reward of up to $100,000 in Toncoins for vulnerability, depending on the severity. Let's perfect the safety and security of TON together! Send reports to @toncontests_bot. We reserve the right not to review some reports.

Thanks! Validators can now remove -F 15929181:244474:7 -F 15929181:244475:7 flags from the launch command. MyTonCtrl users don't forget to do systemctl daemon-reload after removing the flags.

Validators please restart your nodes with flags -F 15929181:244474:7 -F 15929181:244475:7at 10:30 UTC / 13:30 MSK For mytonctrl users: 1. open /etc/systemd/system/validator.service 2. add flags -F 15929181:244474:7 -F 15929181:244475:7 to the end of ExecStart: thus full line will be as follows: ExecStart = /usr/bin/ton/validator-engine/validator-engine --daemonize --global-config /usr/bin/ton/validator-engine/ton-global.config.json --db /var/ton-work/db/ --logname /var/ton-work/log --state-ttl 604800 --verbosity 1 -F 15929181:244474:7 -F 15929181:244475:7 3.

We are glad to present you Tonkeeper - a TON wallet on steroids! Our standard wallets are simple and perform basic functions - securely storing and sending Toncoins, and they will always operate this way. The Tonkeeper plans to expand this functionality. It will have the capability of supporting other cryptocurrencies, a built-in bridge, staking, and something else that will pleasantly surprise you. Whilst the team works on the implementation of these plans, you can install the first version yourself. Available for iOS and Android. https://tonkeeper.com

The network is up and running normally again! We have successfully fixed an extremely rare serialization bug. If you are a developer or miner and use lite-servers, lite-clients, or tonlib - please rebuild them with the latest ton revision 9875f02. The desktop and mobile wallets will be updated soon. For now, instead of those, you can use the webwallet or our very own novelty wallet from the next post.

Validators please update to the last commit 9875f02 of ton repo. To do this, type upgrade if you use mytonctrl. Update your validator nodes one by one.
