Boring A.P.E. (Attention Points Economy): Observations on a New Trend
In the digital age, attention has become a valuable commodity, and the "Attention Points Economy" seeks to capture this value by turning simple interactions into measurable points. This concept is gaining traction, particularly in Telegram Mini apps like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, which engage millions of users through gamified interactions.
The economic value created by points rewards every beneficiary within the ecosystem. This creates micro-markets within apps and opens new opportunities for developers and users alike, potentially leading to a decentralized ecosystem where digital engagement and identity merge. Our new post explores the rapid adoption of this trend and its broader significance.

The State of TON DeFi Q2 2024
The launch of native USDt provided a significant boost to liquidity and trading volumes across all major DeFi protocols on TON. As a result, the TON/USDt pools on DeDust and STON.fi became the largest multi-exposure pools with a stablecoin across all blockchains tracked by DefiLlama, with TVLs of $301.12M and $286.75 respectively. Additionally, TON’s Daily Active Addresses (DAAs) surpassed those of Ethereum for the first time.
The quarter also saw impactful infrastructure launches, including the TON Applications Chain (TAC), the first solution to bring EVM capabilities to TON, and TonFura, a platform for building dApps on TON that complements the existing TON API.
Keep track of the ~50% APR opportunities in TON/USDt pools on DeDust and STON.fi, and read our new article about the performance of TON’s DeFi sector in Q2 2024.

Real-World Asset Tokenization in Q2 2024: Institutions Drive Market, DeFi Scales
Real-World Assets (RWAs) became the second-largest digital asset narrative in Q2 2024, accounting for 11% of web traffic among narratives tracked by CoinGecko. The segment, mostly dormant throughout the second half of 2023, experienced many false starts due to technical, regulatory, and market challenges but was eventually revitalized by strategic moves from major institutions like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Tokenized fixed-income instruments, including bonds, loans, and yield-bearing stablecoins pushed by these institutions, may represent the first wave of RWA adoption. This wave is characterized by the leadership of TradFi institutions and the supporting, scaling role of DeFi protocols.
As we explore less mature segments of RWA tokenization, the report highlights specialized platforms like RealT, which have found success by focusing on niche markets. Our discussion also extends to future waves of adoption, considering how the regulatory landscape will shape opportunities for blockchains like TON to pioneer new markets and drive further innovation in the DeFi space.

Seamless Decentralized Payments With W5: Everything You Need to Know
Consider the basic onboarding challenge for new users in any blockchain ecosystem: Sending or receiving USDt typically requires holding the native token (e.g., TON) to cover transaction fees. This adds complexity and an extra step that can deter newcomers from using blockchain services.
To address this, Tonkeeper has introduced W5, a new wallet standard for gasless transactions. With W5, users can cover gas fees using the same token being transferred, eliminating the need to manage multiple tokens and making blockchain interactions as simpler and accessible as traditional P2P payments.
Learn more about how W5 brings TON closer to mass adoption in our new article.

Web3 Traffic Shift: Integrating & Monetizing Users on Web2 Platforms
Initially driven by ideals of full decentralization, privacy, and disrupting traditional systems, Web3 has struggled to provide practical, user-friendly applications that meet mainstream needs. This lack of a unified, compelling narrative for mass adoption has resulted in stagnation in user growth and insufficient liquidity within the ecosystems. The market now demands more accessible, user-centric models that integrate seamlessly with familiar Web2 environments like Telegram to drive broader adoption and engagement.
One way to address this stagnation is by facilitating a traffic shift from Web2 to Web3. Telegram is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge. Unlike most platforms, Telegram combines traditional social features with integrated blockchain capabilities, such as wallets and Mini Apps, allowing users to engage with Web3 without leaving the app. This blend of Web2 familiarity and Web3 functionality lowers entry barriers, making it easier for users to explore, adopt, and interact with decentralized applications.
To understand the current challenges in user growth and the importance of seamless integration with Web2 environments like Telegram, as well as to explore new monetization models and traffic acquisition strategies in Web3, read our new article: Web3 Traffic Shift: Integrating & Monetizing Users on Web2 Platforms.

Introducing the First Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for TON Wallets
Tonkeeper Pro introduces a new feature that is new for all crypto wallets: on-chain second factor authentication for TON wallets with Telegram.
When 2FA is enabled, all transfers require two signatures: one from Tonkeeper and one from the Telegram bot. The bot sends a confirmation request to approve or cancel the transaction.
Why is it a big deal?
Instead of assuming users will do the impossible — safely storing their recovery keys in a vault — Tonkeeper acknowledges that many people keep them in notes apps, photo libraries, or even drawers. The nature of cryptographic material is such that once it’s leaked, it cannot be taken back. Tonkeeper’s 2FA acts as a safety belt for recovery phrase.
