The TON Foundation has shared its plans for the ecosystem for 2023.
The TON Foundation published an article discussing TON’s history and the main stages of how the ecosystem was formed, and it also went over development plans for 2023.
TON ecosystem’s priorities:
▪️ Improve the ecosystem and get the most out of its potential.
▪️ Acquire new users (by new and unusual means).
▪️ Develop general network standards and team guidelines.
▪️ More support for developers.
▪️ Develop the remaining Web3 components: Payment Network, TON Proxy, TON Storage, and crosschain bridges.

The TON blockchain will be on full display at TOKEN2049.
TON is about to get some serious exposure — this time, the TON blockchain will be exhibited at this year’s most exclusive crypto event, TOKEN2049, which will be in London, England from Nov. 8 to 10.
The large-scale event centers around bringing together the industry’s brightest minds, including entrepreneurs, blockchain founders, investors, developers, and mainstream social media representatives.
Tal Kol, founder of Orbs Network, a ton.org contributor, and a member of TON Society, will speak about “The paradox of growing Web2 to Web3 scale” during his keynote presentation at Token2049 and introduce the audience to the TON blockchain, its progressive Web3 technologies, and its bold plans to create the internet of the future.
Many household names in the crypto industry have graced the conference in the past, including:
▪️ Vitalik Buterin (co-founder of Ethereum)
▪️ Bill Barhydt (founder and CEO of Abra)
▪️ Charles Hoskinson (founder of Cardano)
▪️ Charlie Lee (creator of Litecoin)
And many more.
The conference organizers are expecting over 2,500 people and 100 journalists to be in attendance, meaning more people are going to behold the true power of the TON blockchain in real-time and spread the good word even further.

Hack-TON-berfest livestream
Hacktoberfest is underway for open-source projects on TON and will close in a week.
More than 20 TON projects need help from contributors, so all developers are encouraged to join the festival!
Hack-TON-berfest is an excellent opportunity to make the first step toward building a reputation in the TON community, contribute to the development of the Web3 internet, and receive a limited-edition NFT.
Today, Oct. 24 at 16:00 (UTC), people will be able to join a livestream where they’ll learn how to make a quality Pull Request, the reasons why people should participate in such an event, and how open-source development influences the growth of the TON ecosystem.
The stream will be hosted by:
— Danila Volkov, creator of the first mining pool on TON and one of the developers at Whales Corp.
— Mark Okman, another member of the TonWhales team and creator of YouTube and Telegram channels on programming on TON and in the world of Web3.
The stream will be held on YouTube and on TON Society’s channel.
We recommend all beginners join the stream of open-source development who want to join the festival but don’t know where to start.
Survey for TON developers 💫
Developers in the TON ecosystem may experience some problems reading the documentation because it is written in a complex language, often lacking examples or materials on essential parts of the TON blockchain.
The goal for the TON ecosystem is to create next-generation documentation accessible to everyone: both beginners and experienced developers.
To achieve it, we decided to collect feedback from the community. So we kindly ask all members of our community to share their experiences through the survey.
It consists of 10 questions and will take no more than 5 minutes.
Participate in the survey:
👉 https://tondocs-survey.paperform.co/
While all the attention of our social networks was absorbed by IDO, one of our developers visited Prague and was a mentor and a judge at the TON Hack-a-TON.
We asked him to talk about the three days of development and networking. Read about his impressions: young talent, ecosystem product founders, yummy food, and a photo report here👈
TON @ Token 2049: London
TON Ambassador, Tal Kol, recently gave a presentation about Web3 mass adoption covering both TON and Orbs.

Ecosystem Mapping
We'd love to hear from our TON Society fam in what ways they would improve/change the current way the ecosystem is being mapped via ton.app.
Some potential upcoming updates:
- User/team profile page so list of dApps/projects under a single venture builder is curated for a more holistic view
- Functionality for submitting blockchain address behind the dApp so that metrics such as unique wallet interactions/valuation/TVL/etc. can be tracked via tonapi.io
- User interaction metrics for the ton.app page and seeing number of views/visits/etc. to the dApps
- Ways for teams to promote their products if they meet standards
What are other ways we the community can improve ton.app? How should a fair verification process happen (or conversely should the standard be that projects that are not verified be noted as such)? Should all descriptions be in the same language as the page setting (e.g., if "English" is turned on, all dApp descriptions should be in English and not in another language). How do we actively keep up with removal of delinquent/non-functioning projects?
We'd love to hear from you in the comments.
Dear TON Society Fam
TON Society Admin here and I'll be the first one to admit that trying to get work done for the community the past few hours was a struggle given the industry news, consolidation of power, and future prospects for the decentralization of crypto.
However, I am reminded of what drives our community:
- New builders being onboarded to TON, and experienced builders tirelessly furthering documentation and use-cases
- Investors excited at the bright prospects of onboarding the next billion users to Web3 via social network and beyond (whereas the competition is essentially buying its users)
- Ideologists who understand that TON is not just another distributed ledger, but an idea for a decentralized web
- Users keeping up with TON news and supporting the Foundation's mission to effectively distribute funds (via grants and open competitions) for the overall benefit of the ecosystem
It's times like these when those most prepared survive and eventually thrive - let's focus on building and taking risks for not the next 10 months, but for the next 10 years. 🫡
We will return with regular programming next. We can't wait to share what we've been working on for the benefit of our community (partnerships, revamped sites, and more).
Hi fam,
It is almost Wednesday and that’s why it is time for another Twitter Space.
This time we are getting together with TON Blockchain projects’ rock stars to talk about Community as a driver in web3. 🔥
Topic: Why Community is key in Web3?
When: Nov 9 @ 1PM GMT
Why join: come and learn all you need to know to start your own community in web3.
Where: https://twitter.com/ton_society/status/1589567335148711936?s=46&t=HdgR5dzrL5YjFCKPDE7l5w
Who will be there:
@krimon from Tonkeeper
@tonrostislav from Tonkeeper
@nownesss from Getgems
@kshumm from Tonstarter
@PhosforMan from Tonstarter
@angry_max_im from STON.fi
@pashatechnique from Getgems
@DariiaVA First Stage Labs
and more…
This is an open event. Hope to see you there.

TON Society Grants Reminder:
- Kind reminder to grants applicants to include contact information so that we can reach out for any follow-ups and/or explanation for rejection.
- Above is an example of an application we cannot follow-up with as no contact information was provided.
- TG handles are a must and other information such as LinkedIn, personal websites are nice to have.
In the very near future, we will announce a partnership and integration of our grants application process with a Web3 Grants Portal (who also exclusively support other ecosystems such as Polygon and soon Solana). This will ensure that applicants know exactly which fields to fill out for a complete application. We also look forward to the partnership being one of the first (and major) use cases for multi-sig and TON Storage (whereby all grants applications data are stored via TON Storage).
🫡 👛
TON <> ChangeNOW
This is a fun one we've been wanting to tell our community about (but sitting on until all loose ends were tied):
- TON is now listed on ChangeNOW, allowing for KYC free/lite swap from 450+ other digital assets.
For the time being the swap is TON buy only ([xyz] » TON), but in the near future users will also be able to swap for TON sell (TON » [xyz]). Please note that fees are embedded in the exchange price, so do your own research/analysis before any swaps.
11/3/22 Update: TON sell (TON » [xyz]) will be available around end of Nov/early Dec 2022.
It's always fun to see TON popping up in various mediums of exchange! 👛

I want to announce that we're doing a soft launch for a pilot on the new community Q&A site that shamelessly copies StackOverflow!
https://answers.ton.org
I'm a big StackOverflow fan and we did a pilot for TON Q&A on SO that ended badly (our questions were deleted). We had to move to a self moderated solution. Read more about this experience here.
I volunteered to push this forward and run a pilot for a couple of months. We'll decide if this platform is good enough to stay after the pilot. Please use it and give feedback (or better, help me improve it).
@slavafomin and @dani_goose are helping me moderate, if you want to volunteer, please DM me.
