Web Interface for Validators Most TON network validators use the convenient command line tool called mytonctrl that simplifies and automates their operations. Now you can connect Web User Interface to mytonctrl which can display all necessary information about validator quality, transactions, and rewards. The dashboard is working in read-only mode and absolutely secure. You can log into your validator via tonadmin.org or configure a connection directly to your machine. Connect Web Interface »

@CryptoBot introduces Crypto Pay API If you are an owner of a Telegram bot or other service, this API will let you create an invoice that users will be able to easily pay with Toncoin via @CryptoBot.

In previous posts, we talked about how important it is to create TON applications simple and convenient for regular users. Developers should feel comfortable too! We are introducing MyLocalTon, your personal TON blockchain for development. With it, you will be able to get a local TON blockchain up and running on your Windows, MacOS or Linux PC. Use MyLocalTon for debugging as it can be restarted and reset whenever you need. The UI displays all information about blocks, transactions, and accounts. There are many settings provided. Early access is already available. Source codes published on GitHub. MyLocalTon EAP »

TON mining industry continues to grow and evolve. Total hashrate has already exceeded 100 Th/s, meaning that since the beginning of this year, interest in Toncoin mining has grown thousands of times. There are already 40 forks in the repository with the source code of the standard miner, and the number of repo views has reached 300K. New mining software: 1. Hive OS Miner Hive OS is a Linux-based operating system used by professional miners. Now you can mine Toncoin on Hive OS using OpenCL or CUDA. And of course the miner is available in open-source. This is a useful addition to existing miners for Linux and Windows with CUDA or OpenCL. Despite the fact that the mining software development is not the primary target of the TON Foundation, our developers devote their time and energy to make mining more accessible for everyone. TON miner for Hive OS » 2. Mining pool by the Ton Whales team Last month, a third-party development team launched the first mining pool in TON. Now users with weak hardware can unite their forces and mine Toncoin, with rewards distributed proportionally to their input. During this time, the pool managed to collect thousands of participants and claimed a significant share in the overall mining hash rate. TON Foundation has received the pool source code for the review. We see that new professional developers and entrepreneurs are coming to the TON ecosystem, and they are successfully launching their services. Ton Whales Mining Pool »

We have created a separate @tonstatus channel where we will post up-to-date requests for action for validators, information about scheduled maintenance, and other technical notifications. We ask validators, developers, and technical integrators of Toncoin to follow this channel. Please note that official requests from TON Foundation will only be communicated via the @tonblockchain and @tonstatus channels.

We pay lots of attention to simplicity of our apps and services. You might have noticed that our wallets and other apps contain almost no technical information. What you see is animated stickers, not transaction hashes or block heights. The only tech info you’ll find is your wallet address, which is no harder than card or phone number. But it will be dropped soon, too – once TON DNS goes live, everyone will be able to register a short username and use it instead. People don’t need to get under the hood of the blockchain to start using it. Blockchain’s advantages such as privacy and security should be available to everyone. We’re often asked if we’re planning a full-fledged TON blockchain explorer (a service that scans blocks and transactions). Development of such an explorer is not on our top priority list because we believe average user won’t need it. Whenever you send transfer to a friend using your regular mobile banking, you don’t need to go to ‘banking explorer’ afterwards or launch Internet traffic scanner to make sure the money’s indeed been sent. We’ll release a full-fledged explorer, sure, but it’ll be used by devs for debugging – average users simply won’t need it. Most of the existing interfaces were created during the era of blockchains of the past. You send coins and wait anywhere between 10 minutes and a couple of hours, usually not even sure if your transfer will be processed. In TON, transactions are cheap and almost instant. A modern tech now gives us an opportunity to redefine and simplify people’s interaction with blockchain.

The Open Network — the next gen network to unite all blockchains and the existing Internet. Developers, validators, TON Blockchain Contests winners and decentralized technology enthusiasts teamed up to finish work on the next generation blockchain TON after the Telegram team was forced to stop its work. Members of the community are located in different parts of the world, do not belong to any commercial organization, and share the principles of open source software.
