Last week, we were pleased to announce that TON has become a sponsor of the competitive programming platform Codeforces.
Codeforces is a popular platform where tens of thousands of the world’s strongest programmers compete in various competitions at the highest level.
More than 11,000 programmers took part in our last event, CodeTON.
In total, more than 1.5 million people are registered on the site.

The TON DNS auction starts tomorrow, July 30, at 9:00 UTC on the dns.ton.org site.
Network validators, on Aug. 2, it is planned to set the root DNS contract in the network config by voting — all validators need to participate.

TON Crosschain Roadmap
One of the overall missions of TON is to unite blockchains and the internet into a single network.
We’d like to share with you what projects are working toward this goal at the moment:
TON Sites and TON Proxy
We plan to launch the TON Sites and TON Proxy components at the end of this quarter. In addition to the two components, we plan to provide the capability of smart contract communication with sites and vice versa.
Crosschain NFT transfers
The XP.Network dev team is about to complete its work on a multichain bridge via which users will be able to transfer NFTs between TON and multitude of blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Tron, Tezos, Elrond, Algorand. Decentralized oracles will keep the bridge running.
Crosschain token transfers
The RSquad dev team has been working on a bridge through which users can transfer any token (altcoins) from Ethereum and BNB Chain to TON and back. This new functionality will be added to ton.org/bridge and will operate by a similar principle.
Rainbow bridge with EVM-compatible blockchains (Ethereum, BNB Chain, and others)
Decentralized oracles control transfers between networks at the moment. This common approach is a stable and safe solution. However, we plan on taking it to the next step and making it ideal: All operations will occur only through smart contracts without any intermediaries.
To make this happen, new tools need to be created so that the smart contracts from other blockchains can verify the authenticity of TON blockchain’s data and vice versa. We and blockchain developers from the RSquad have come together to work on Solidity code that will be able to verify TON blocks and transactions. After that, we plan to make FunC code that can verify EVM blocks and transactions.
The project has grand aspirations, but the Rainbow Bridge solution will fully launch in 2023. However, the developers plan on publishing results, code, and tools intermittently.
Toncoin bridge update
On the ton.org/bridge site, the ability to transfer Toncoin among Ethereum, BNB Chain, and TON has been available for over a year already. In that timespan, a large number of crypto transfers from users has been processed. A UI update is in the pipeline to make everything even more convenient for users. Thank you to developer Zavtramen.

Introducing a major @wallet update: The popular service now has a new user-friendly interface.
On the home screen, you can see your balance, transaction history, and buy or send Toncoin. You can now buy Toncoin in just a couple of taps without leaving Telegram — you only need to link a bank card to the service once.
There’s no need to chat with the bot to use the wallet: simply add @wallet to the Attachments Menu, start the bot, and send Toncoin directly within chats with your contacts.
If you are still not familiar with the service, right now is a great chance to get to know it: There’s no service fee for purchasing Toncoin, and the exchange rate is as close as possible to the market price.
The developers continue to improve the service, equipping it with better features and making it one of the most integral parts of the TON ecosystem.

I'm really impressed by the success of the auction TON recently conducted for their domain/wallet names. Wallet.ton was sold for 215,250 Toncoin (~$260000) while casino.ton was sold for ~$244000.
If TON has been able to achieve these results, imagine how successful Telegram with its 700 million users could be if we put reserved @ usernames, group and channel links for auction. In addition to millions of catchy t.me addresses like @storm or @royal, all four-letter usernames could be made available for sale (@bank, @club, @game, @gift etc).
This would create a new platform where username holders could transfer them to interested parties in protected deals – with ownership secured on the blockchain via NFT-like smart-contracts. Other elements of the Telegram ecosystem, including channels, stickers or emoji, could later also become part of this marketplace.
When it comes to scalability and speed, TON probably has the best technology to host such decentralized sales. Our team can write bullet-proof smart contracts for TON (since it was us who invented its smart-contract language), so we are inclined to try out TON as the underlying blockchain for our future marketplace.
Let's see if we can add a little bit of Web 3.0 to Telegram in the coming weeks.

Step by step, TON is moving forward to become truly mainstream so that ordinary users can enjoy the security, transparency and benefits of decentralized technologies.
In fact, TON is the only modern blockchain project that is really moving in this direction.
The contribution of each member of the community brings us closer to complete this historical mission, just as the development of the internet was the collective work of various enthusiasts.

The TON contest team will never let you get bored!
Large @toncontests are regularly held on various topics: sometimes you need to write the most optimized smart contracts on FunC; sometimes, you need to find bugs in ecosystem apps or show the best application for newly launched TON components.
Hack-TON-berfest is underway right now, yet you still have time to participate.
In addition, tomorrow at 09:00 UTC, there will be a very interesting new event:
We put 30,000 TON in smart contracts that intentionally have a vulnerability. The persons who hacks the smart contracts first will be able to steal TONs for keeps!

We are pleased to announce that the token bridge is in the final stages of testing.
Using this bridge, users can transfer any ERC-20 or BEP-20 tokens (for example, USDC or USDT) originally created on Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain to the TON Blockchain, with the ability to return them back.
The transferred tokens will be represented on TON as regular Jettons so that TON services, such as DEXs, will be able to work with them without any additional modifications.
You can get acquainted with smart contracts and testnet version:
