More good news coming in! We’ve added the features you’ve been asking about. Now, Sorting, Filtering and Search features are available inside the collections. You can filter the NFTs by price, by date added; you can sort them by price range and sale status. Besides that, now you can search the NFTs by their name.

Excited to have our first AMA on Twitter Spaces later today 💎🤖

🎙 Cryptobots X GetGems.io AMA - Tomorrow, 17:00 UTC!

🎉 With a GIVEAWAY of $100 in TON!🎉

👉 Join the Twitter giveaway and set up a reminder

Rolling into this Sunday together with you and our #weeklydigest, where we share what happened in the TON NFT world during the past week. Let’s get into it!

- The most important news of the past week is that we added filters, sorting and search within collections on the Getgems marketplace.
- The TON Masks team announced an airdrop. Hurry up to participate!
- The guys from TON Dogs, per usual, are being generous with their activities: A lot of contests have been held; the presale week is finished; 813 NFTs have been sold for a total of 45,000 TON; and a private channel was launched, where 386 holders got together and started closed beta testing of TON Scan, the first mobile explorer on the TON blockchain.
- Gorgeous TON Girls have launched a beauty contest where you can still participate and win NFTs.
- The Marginals Squad announced an outstanding Reveal Day on our marketplace — all masks will be torn off on May 30. So, buckle up before the takeoff!
- The TonWorld team held a sale: 1,000 plots of land sold out in 15 minutes. Right now, the team is working on the map outline. Once it’s done, the final sale will be held at the end of the month.
- G-Bots are finishing up the minting process through the first WebApp on Telegram and will launch its sale very soon — don't miss out!

While NFT marketing is a very complex question with multiple variables and there’s no one-size fits all formula, the sure way to attract attention is to stand out and do something outside the box.

We are being exposed to so many projects popping up in the NFT space here on TON, thanks to our community, so we wanted to share with you some project who did the not so common and made us click and scroll through:

- A multichain collection from Maritsa Art - when cool idea meets outstanding linework
- Stylish, cheeky and very relevant CryptoDoggo meme NFTs by Yana Tark
- Tease tease tease. Sneaky but cute airdrop and marketing move by xPensivDuckPics
- Secret and mysterious collection by the Marginals, who keep us guessing what’s inside the paper bags till the very release day.

Needless to say NFA and DYOR, fam.

❗️WARNING ❗️


We assumed that this would happen one day, and it did. The Getgems marketplace got copied.

Messages and posts in various channels started to pop up. Offering to buy NFTs from “our” marketplace, scammers share a direct link to fake collections with a slightly different domain name: getgems.to

This is neither our mirror website nor an extra domain. Also, that is NOT a separate section of our marketplace. There’s only one Getgems marketplace, and it’s only available at this address: https://getgems.io

Please do NOT buy anything from this fake marketplace; don’t connect your wallet; and be very careful in general. This happened once and will very likely happen again.

This is a friendly reminder to be careful and stay safe. By following these basic safety rules, you can avoid the risks of getting scammed.

To the fellas who’ve created the copycat of our marketplace: Send us a text. We’re always searching for new developers. 😉

Beware of scammers!

@malev @ilovecinnabon or @pasha_techniqueee won’t DM you first, asking for money

Frens! We’re getting ready to celebrate our 🎉 1-month anniversary🎉 in a few days here at Getgems! Time sure does fly when you are having fun, and all that is thanks to you — a true gem of a community! We are going to be dropping some gems throughout this week, so get ready👀

It’s always a pleasure receiving presents and birthday wishes, and this first anniversary of ours is no exception. But we want to celebrate YOU as well by giving away prizes. So, we’re going to have a contest! Joining this contest is extremely easy. Create any NFT on the topic of Getgems’ anniversary. Below are just a few ideas⬇️

- A drawing with our logo
- NFT present with a Getgems mention
- A fun meme
- Any art, PFP, or a comic — don’t limit the expression of your creativity.

Mint this piece of art on the Getgems.io marketplace and put it on sale at a price of 50 TON. Share the link to this NFT in the comments of this post, and on May 27, we’ll buy the best NFTs from our contestants 💎

We’re wrapping up this weekend with our regular #weekly_digest, where we cover the hottest events in the TON NFT world from the past week. Fasten your seatbelts!

- The red flag of the week is the clones on the Getgems horizon… Scammers attempted to create not only fake collections but replicate our entire marketplace. Please, be careful and always keep your assets protected! Our official URL is getgems.io.
- The G-Bots crew treated us with exciting updates: It showcased a prototype of its NFT gameplay, tested and launched the mint via WebApp directly on Telegram, and is also conducting a series of quests right now.
- The guys from Anonymous TON launched the fourth pre-sale. Jump in!
- Freakishly adorable Mutant Toadz announced a collab with TON Punks. Punk holders will be among the first ones to get access to Toadz’ early sale, and active members of the TON Punks community will be able to get on the WL.
- The Tegro team updated us on everything related to Tegro Dogs, held the second mint of the Sherlock collection, and announced that the TGR token is integrated into the Tegro Cat collection.
- TON Blogger NFT shared their plans for the future and the concept of their collection.

Happy Monday, everybody! We’ve created a convenient events calendar, where you can find all major events from the TON NFT world — AMAs, airdrops, minting dates, and much more — in the palm of your hand. You don’t need to browse through dozens of channels to keep track of it; we’ve organized it all for you. Come check it out!

📅 This TON NFT calendar is one of many gems we are dropping this week, leading to our one-month anniversary. More cool stuff ahead, stay tuned!

You’ve probably heard the term “derivative” in the context of NFTs, but it has become quite a buzzword. In simple words, a derivative is when a new “derived” collection is created based on an already existing NFT collection. A common example is remakes of top-selling collections, which have become trendy over the past few months.
An interesting tool for creating derivatives has arrived from the TON NFT world and was introduced by the authors of 🦖Mintosaurs.

The guys say that with this tool, your own derivative NFTs can be created in just three clicks, and they immediately get minted on our marketplace. You can read more about this new tool 👉 here.

Gm, fam!

We’ve been getting a lot of requests to implement a Search tool to make browsing through collections easier — and we’ve answered the call.

A search bar is now available at the top of our website. You don’t have to worry any longer that collectors won’t find your art — they just need to type the collection’s name in the search bar.

A month has passed since our launch day. To say that time flies would be an understatement. We didn’t even notice how it flew by — everything turned into a whirlpool of events. But this doesn’t mean that we’ve lost our way: Steadily, one step at a time, we are moving toward our goal of being The Home of NFTs on TON. New heights are ahead. Thank you for walking alongside, and thank you for this month!

At the beginning of the week, we launched a contest in which anyone can participate. And among all the gems you’ve sent us, we found ones that made our hearts feel warm. Here they are:

- Stylish logo revamp
- Sparkling Moon x Getgems
- Bold take on PadlaGems

As promised, we are buying the winning NFTs from the authors, and now they will become a part of Getgems’ history. Check your wallets!

We will definitely see some beatiful gems 💎 roll out of this story

We’re dropping another gem — aka activity announcement. And let us assure you, this one is going to be epic! All you need to do to become a part of it is to apply via this bot by sending your Tonkeeper wallet address.

After a little while, when the time is right, you’ll receive an NFT of a contestant, and it will be sent to your wallet. Piece of advice: Don’t lose it 👀

More details will follow in the coming days — stay tuned!

Wrapping up the day with our regular #weekly_digest, in which we talk about what happened in the NFT world on TON in the past seven days. Let’s do it!!

- The most important news of the past week was our one-month anniversary. It’s just the beginning of our journey. We’re so stoked!
- G-Bots printed a real robot from its NFT collection. This is the first example of its work coming out IRL!
- The TON Dogs team has released its TON Scan explorer in the AppStore and is also among the first to release a staking pool.
- The guys from TON Chinchillas announced a cool collab with TON xPensivDuckPics.
- DMT started the pre-sale of its collection — the collection is fire, check them out!

- Animals Red List invested in TON Guys NFT by buying a 49% stake in the project for $352,000. They also launched chats for holders with access via a bot.

- The TON Punks team announced the expansion of the team and opened 3 new vacancies.

Evening news: A kick-ass P2E project is joining Getgems. Please, give a warm welcome to Escape From Zeya!

Escape From Zeya is a farm in a galaxy far far away, with the usual mechanics for the format: collect resources, build buildings, and upgrade to increase harvest efficiency. All is done with a flexible NFT card system that allows you to get the gaming experience you like!

The game went through all the stages of moderation on AtomicHub. The game demo got approved, and the uniqueness of the art got confirmed, but the team realized that the Wax ​​blockchain did not allow them to bring all their gameplay ideas to life. So, the team moved to The Open Network, and its first NFT sale is coming in late June! A full launch of the game is expected by the end of this year.

Check out zeya.io while it’s hot! Head to its Discord because tomorrow, they’re going to launch a big raffle of 25 NFTs 🛸
