Author: BlockTempo

Backed by the well-known messaging software Telegram, which has 800 million active users globally, the dark horse public chain TON, currently valued at nearly $10 billion and ranked as the 16th largest token, has been receiving good news recently.

In addition to launching an ecological reward fund, hackathon events, and integrating Telegram advertising payments, to provide maximum support for developers, the TON Foundation has partnered with leading ecological strategic partner TonX Studio to jointly host 6 workshops and 2 Demo Days in Taiwan and Hong Kong from February to March.

Over a thousand developers participated in the event, and on April 4, the largest developer event in the world - "TON HackerHouse" - will be grandly held at the JW Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong.

Three reasons not to miss TON HackerHouse:

• A global prize pool of up to $1 million, with the opportunity to quickly connect with the $250 million TON ecological fund.
• The potential to receive incubation and investment from the TON Foundation and top VC partners.
• Practical courses: Demonstrations of Telegram Mini Apps to help developers learn how to create mini-programs.

Four themes driving the growth of the TON ecosystem:

• Applications surrounding native stablecoins

This year, TON will announce its native stablecoin, allowing Telegram users to easily use TON's native stablecoin in various scenarios.

• Decentralized Finance

Building DeFi infrastructure, such as: Swap, DEX, AMM, etc.

• Games and gamified applications

Developing Mini App games for Telegram.

• Innovative applications

Such as: SocialFi elements, inscriptions, NFTs, Meme Coins, and other innovative applications for the TON ecosystem.

Introduction to TON Foundation

The TON blockchain features excellent scalability, infinite sharding technology, and Turing-complete smart contract capabilities, with TPS (transactions per second) reaching millions. In 2021, the project was successfully handed over to the community-established TON Foundation for development and maintenance.
Under the foundation's promotion, the TON ecosystem continues to thrive, with the launch of the TON wallet bot in 2022, allowing users to send and receive TON and trade Bitcoin directly within Telegram. Additionally, the decentralized NFT marketplace Fragment was launched, auctioning popular products such as Telegram usernames and virtual phone numbers.

Introduction to TonX Studio

TonX Studio is composed of several early TON contributors, aiming to build diverse core infrastructure for TON and promote the project as a new generation leader in Web3.
Currently, TonX Studio has developed several popular products, including: the Web3 domain auction platform TonDaddy, the ecosystem forum Ton.How, and the HTTP gateway server Ton.Run, among others, with active users exceeding tens of thousands.
