We are launching TON Smart Challenge #3!

This contest lasts until 23 Dec. 18:00 UTC and aimed at optimization of 5 smart contracts written in the FunC language native for The Open Network blockchain. The goal of the contest is to optimize contract execution cost, preserving functionality and business logic.

A full denoscription of tasks is available at GitHub. You may click here or go to the website.

Tasks are expected to be submitted through @toncontests_bot by clicking on the special button for sending solutions, and no more than five submissions per hour are allowed. Evaluations are performed after submission.

There will be two set of prizes for two stages of the contest:
💎 for sprinters during the first week (until 9 Dec 18:00 UTC) of the contest, according to the formula: Prize = A*(B+1/N)exp(-x(B+1/N)), where A = 25 000, B = 0.01, N — number of participants.
💎 for stayers — on the second and third week of TON Smart Challenge, according to the formula: Prize = A*(B+1/N)exp(-x(B+1/N)), the A = 25 000, B = 0.01, N = 100.

Note that stages are independent, contestants may win in both rounds. Good luck to everyone 🍀

Hello, contestants!

We need about 2-3 days to check and summarize the results of the first stage of the TON Smart Challenge #3. TON will be distributed until 19th December, but special NFTs only at the end of the second stage.

Please, note, all the cheaters from both stages will be disqualified. Cheaters are namely contestants that have submitted solutions from multiple accounts in order to increase their TON reward.

The second stage for stayers lasts until 23 Dec. 18:00 UTC. While diving into FunC, you may find helpful the dev portal.

Survey for TON developers 💫

The goal for the TON ecosystem is to create next-generation documentation accessible to everyone: both beginners and experienced developers.

After release of the Developers Portal and new version of the TON Documentation, we want to collect some feedback from developers community to improve them.

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:

Token Bridge Smart Contract Cracking Competition

Prize fund: Up to $50,000
Deadline: 18:00 UTC on December 30
Who can participate: Everyone

The Task is to identify potential vulnerabilities and issues in the FunC and Solidity smart contracts of Token Bridge.

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.

Evaluation Criteria and Prize Fund Distribution:
Bounties are dependent on the severity of the discovered issues and could potentially range from $200 for bugs which do not affect economical safety to $25,000 for major flaws which can lead to Bridge insolvency or unconditional loss of assets by users. Prizes will be distributed in TONs.

Please focus on issues, conditions and attacks which could allow to bypass the smart contract's logic.

We are also interested in economic attack vectors to "ruin" oracles, given that oracles pay network fees.

Optimization of gas-usage or code-style improvements are out of the scope of this competition and will not be rewarded. Conditions when majority of validators or oracles (on any side of the bridge) are malicious or malfunctioning is out of the scope as well.

You can find useful unit tests in both smart contract repositories.

Submissions:

Submit a pull request on GitHub to Solidity or FunC bridge repo. Describe the issue as a comment to the pull request. Specify your TON wallet address to receive a prize.

We are launching TON Thread Challenge 💫

The contest is for developers, community managers, content creators, and founders — those who work, learn, discover and build on TON with a $10,000 total prize fund. It starts today and lasts until 22 Feb 18:00 UTC.

The goal of the contest is to encourage TON ecosystem participants to share knowledge about TON and create unique and sharable content about The Open Network (as it will come from experts directly) available on Twitter.

The task is to create threads related to the TON blockchain, that follow several requirements:

💎 the thread should contain unique insights about TON
💎 the thread has to be in English and easy to read
💎 the thread should contain either fact value, education or entertainment, or all of that
💎 the thread should drive a conversation about building on TON, FunC, TVM, and white paper overview, mass adoption, community, NFT, the responsibility of building great apps message, decentralization, GameFi, SocialFi, DIDs and etc.
💎 the thread has to include min 3 onwards tweets

You are free to make funny threads, add memes, and stuff like that. Try to make it viral and get more engagement from the community.

👉 More information about the contest and the prize distribution is on the website.
