🔐 A future without passwords enabled by TON Connect

In the digital age, usernames and passwords have become a tedious standard — accepted, despite being hated.

That's why we're changing it with TON Connect, offering a secure, streamlined login method for services and applications. Dive into why conventional logins are waning and how TON Connect redefines digital access.

▪️ Login standards are obsolete and dangerous
Passwords get lost, stolen, and forgotten. They're a weak link in our digital security. With TON Connect, you can log in to services and apps with a single click through your TON wallet.

▪️ TON Connect evolved
Initially pioneered by the Tonkeeper team, TON Connect has rapidly grown and is now a network-wide standard.

▪️ Broad support
All popular TON wallets, including Tonkeeper, Tonhub, MyTonWallet, OpenMask, TON Wallet, and more, are now fully integrated with TON Connect, as well as every ton.org service and many popular TON products.

▪️ Unified Connection
While other blockchain communities juggle multiple tech options, we've achieved a singular, cohesive method of connecting services and wallets — a breakthrough for users and developers.

▪️ Web 2.0 Adaptation
Are you using sites that still rely on the old username-password standard? Introducing the TON wallet's built-in password manager!
The team behind MyTonWallet browser extension announced a feature that auto-fills passwords on websites, generating secure passwords based on your TON wallet's private key.

▪️ Coming Soon
In the next update, dApps can send notifications directly to your TON wallet if you give explicit permission.

​Historic Moment as BIT accepts Toncoin for trading fees

TON Foundation, in a strategic partnership with BIT Exchange, is making history today. For the first time ever, a cryptocurrency exchange is enabling users to pay trading fees with a token that isn't a stablecoin or a platform token. Instead, Toncoin, the native token of TON Blockchain will be the collateral of choice.

The utility of Toncoin doesn’t end there. BIT Exchange, known for its specialization in crypto derivatives trading, is expanding its crypto derivatives offerings to include futures trading for Toncoin, too. This development will further enrich BIT’s range of services, which includes portfolio and unified margin management, as well as options, perpetual futures, and spot trading.

That's just the beginning! BIT users will also enjoy a limited-time 10% discount on trading fees when using the newly live 'Deduct with TON' feature.

This significant milestone in the crypto industry is a testament to the robust strategic partnership between TON Foundation and BIT, a partnership that traces its roots back to January 2022 when BIT first listed TON.

As we journey to onboard the next 100 million users onto Web3, we are thrilled to introduce a feature that propels us closer to this goal and broadens the horizons of crypto trading.

For more details, read more here.

With every step we take, we're shaping the future of trading - and it starts with TON. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

​Important message to the TON community

Recently, enthusiasts from our community have proposed the TON Believers Fund (TBF) - a special smart contract that incentivizes miners to lock their Toncoin for a period of 5 years.

Several notable projects have already supported the fund, including major ecosystem investors First Stage Labs, DWF, Kilo Fund, ConnecTON, and Layer 3 solution and creators of Ton.Vote - Orbs. Between them, they have already donated 90,000 TON into the incentives pool.

We want to know how you feel about this initiative and are launching a vote on this matter.

What is TON Believers Fund?
TON Believers Fund (TBF) believes that there is an issue hindering the ecosystem from reaching its full potential. This issue is the centralization of TON supply among large holders, which poses a liquidation risk if these miners were to sell their coins en masse. To address this, the TON Believers Fund has created a smart contract that aims to incentivize large holders by offering fixed yields for locking their TON for 5 years.

There are two ways to use the contract:
1. Anyone can deposit TON into the contract, which will be locked for 5 years. The first 2 years are locked, and the remaining 3 years will vest monthly.
2. Anyone can donate to the contract, and these donations will be used as a reward yield for those who lock their TON.

What benefits can TBF bring?
▪️ Primarily, it aims to incentivize large holders to lock their Toncoin for 5 years.
▪️ As a result, this initiative will bring more clarity to the TON token economy.
▪️ The community will witness that large holders are committed to TON and are not inclined to sell their coins at the earliest opportunity. On the contrary, they believe in the ecosystem and actively support it.
▪️ Growth in TVL (Total Value Locked) in TON.

The TON Foundation is a neutral entity, but it acknowledges and appreciates community initiatives. Any community member should be able to propose an initiative, and if it helps solve problems, they should have the opportunity to reach out to the Foundation for support in disseminating their message. TBF exemplifies the essence of a decentralized Web 3 community.

Based on this information, the question for the community vote is: Should the TON Foundation support the TON Believers Fund by donating 1 million Toncoin to the incentives pool to attract large holders?

Please vote at Ton.vote and make your voice heard!

🤔 DeDust rolls out routing feature

DeDust.io introduces a new routing mechanism—this means you can seamlessly trade tokens that don't have a direct pair, all with a single click.

Here's how it works: Suppose you've got a hefty amount of jUSDC hiding in your wallet and you're looking to get your hands on some $SCALE. DeDust will find the most efficient route for your exchange, like jUSDC -> jUSDT -> SCALE or jUSDC -> TON -> SCALE. This nifty feature makes trading on DeDust.io not only simpler but also more beneficial.

And it's not just traders who win. It also brings good news to liquidity providers—the new routes will now tap into previously underused pairs (e.g., BOLT/SCALE), creating extra earning opportunities for the liquidity providers involved in these pairs.

So what are you waiting for? Get over to DeDust.io and give routing a spin!

Sincerely,
Scaleton Team
