Liquid staking Liquid staking is the newest solution that allows you to earn staking rewards and use your assets in DeFi at the same time. Liquid staking is more convenient and accessible for users compared to previous staking options, it also allows you to vote for network updates without having a lot of Toncoins. Smart contracts for liquid staking developed, and you can participate in testing them by the test application. After the testing phase, the source code of the smart contracts will be published under an free open-source license. You can find more details in the documentation. The Tonstakers team has already announced the creation of a custom service based on these contracts. Alternative available - in partnership with DWF Labs, Bemo successfully launched its own liquid staking protocol.

Developer Tools You should definitely try the latest TON developer tools if you haven't already. We recommend to use the ton.js library, the Blueprint environment, and the IntelliJ IDEA plugin for the development, testing, and deployment of FunC smart contracts. For dApps there is TON Connect and a number of APIs: tonapi.io, toncenter.com, TON Access, dTON GraphQL. These tools make TON developing convenient and enjoyable. For payment services, the time-tested tonweb (which we plan to refresh and make a "library for paranoids" as much as possible getting rid of third-party dependencies), locally runned ton-http-api and ready-made code examples are well suited. To run your own TON node, please use mytonctrl or GetBlock.
