An important community request to TON miners who have never used their coins
The level of interest in TON from the open-source community has grown exponentially over the year.
One of the main challenges of 2022 was reaching a community consensus on what the circulating supply is. Today, different data aggregators show different statistics. They often use a definition that simply does not capture the uniqueness of the TON’s history.
Therefore, we are proposing to launch a community-wide effort to determine what the community should consider dormant, inactive or uncirculating supply going forward.
Currently, the total number of inactive mining addresses with a balance of over 1 TON is 204. The total balance of these addresses is about 1.08 Billion TON. The full list of these addresses, which is public and on-chain, is made available by the independent data aggregator TonTech.
We kindly ask all owners of these inactive mining wallets — the genesis wallets that received Toncoin directly from Givers without the history of a single outgoing transaction — to activate and make an outgoing transfer to any address on the TON network by 00:00 UTC on January 1, 2023.
Through this community exercise, we hope to achieve greater clarity and certainty on the tokenomics of the TON network. The community has the right to know. This will remove the obstacles and hindrances faced by some contributors. We kindly ask all miners to take part in this initiative.
The data will be useful for providing a more accurate data to service providers, such as CoinMarketCap. It will remove discrepancies between different statistics.
We strongly encourage all members of the TON community to spread information about this initiative in order to reach as many participants as possible.
