‌‌‌‎A new Telegram coding competition is starting today. The task is to build smart contracts for a blockchain platform.

1. Build one or more smart contracts as described in TON Contest.txt below.
2. Suggest improvements for FunC or TON VM (optional).
3. Find issues and suggest fixes for TON Testnet (optional).

The prize fund for these 3 tasks is up to $400,000.

The contest ends on October, 15 at 23:00 CET.

We’ll publish how to submit your code in this channel soon.
Original investors received emails from the Telegram core team.

1. Following a successful initial testing period, TON is planned to be launched in late October.
2. Investors are provided with the TON Key Generation Software: https://generator.ton.org
3. Investors will have to provide Telegram with the public key to receive their Grams by October 16th. This key will be confirmed using credentials provided in the Token Purchase Agreement.
4. The entire source code of TON is available at https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.
5. Investors have to select validators. Neither Telegram nor the TON Foundation will serve as validators post-launch.

We will follow up with the additional analysis.

‌‌‌‌‎A new Telegram coding competition is starting today. The task is to build smart contracts for a blockchain platform. 1. Build one or more smart contracts as described in TON Contest.txt below. 2. Suggest improvements for FunC or TON VM (optional).…
The second stage of the blockchain contest starts today and will last until December 22.

The 41 winners of the first stage will be able to take part. The prize fund is $100,000 + additional $100,000 will be awarded subject to certain conditions.

The main goal is build one or two TON-based smart-contracts (decentralized services) that can become popular with consumers.

Criteria to identify the winners: 1) The validity and efficiency of your code 2) The potential demand for your service from a consumer standpoint.

Denoscription: in Stage 1, you have proved that you know how to build smart-contracts on TON. This time you may choose any idea you like for your smart-contract - and implement it. You will retain the ownership over the decentralized projects resulting from this contest. You are also encouraged to launch your apps on TON mainnet once its live.

Your project should be decentralized and built with a TON-based smart-contract, but can also include off-chain elements if required. Each participant may submit a maximum of two projects.

Participants may request 5000 Test Grams from @test_ton_bot to test and develop their apps.

Good luck!

⚠️ Changes have been introduced into the block format. Please upgrade all validators, full nodes, lite-clients and TONLib instances.
⚠️ A bugfix needed to combat memory exhaustion on weaker validators introduced. Please recompile and restart. As soon as 2/3 of all validators are upgraded, testnet will resume working.
Improved performance of validators running on weaker machines by removing debug-only checks. Please upgrade your validators to continue the heavy-load testing of the testnet. Consider deploying validators on higher-performance servers.
⚠️ Changes have been introduced into the block format. Please upgrade all validators, full nodes, lite-clients and TONLib instances. Old software may stop working 13.04 when the new features are enabled.
Changes described in the previous item have been enabled at 16:12 GMT. All unupgraded full nodes, validators and clients stopped working. If you experience this, please upgrade.
🧬 Third-party TON-based projects

A list of projects on TON submitted for the Telegram blockchain competition.
The original TON development team is discontinuing its active involvement with the TON project due to reasons explained here. The efforts of the team have been redirected to other projects. Some of the internal development branches that have been in active development and testing may get integrated into the main branch. Some minor bugfixes and Github issue answers may occasionally appear if any of the members of the original team have the spare time and inclination to contribute to the community's efforts. The principal development of the TON code is transferred to the open source community.
🏁 Telegram team are discontinuing support of the test network of the TON Blockchain. Team validators will be switched off not later than 1.08.2020. Please save all relevant data and terminate your testing process. If you need to continue testing after this date, you can install your own testnet validators as explained here, here and here.
