Quick update on the Agent Tooling Fast Grants.

Almost all grants have already been sent out.

If you still haven’t received yours, please make sure that your wallet is connected for rewards on Identity. In most cases, that’s the missing step.

The SBTs for this round will be minted soon to the same wallet addresses.

Also, I added a new Badges section on Identity to make it much easier to track SBTs and other recognitions going forward.

Thanks again to everyone who participated and helped push the TON agent ecosystem forward.

We put together a research report on AI agents on Telegram.

Some numbers: 183 AI bots with 10K+ MAU, 44.3M combined users, BotFather doubled to 7.3M MAU in two months. Manus (acquired by Meta for $2B+) chose Telegram as their first agent platform -- over WhatsApp.

The report covers the full stack: bot market segmentation, Stars as TON settlement rail (81.7M TON paid out to developers), Cocoon compute metrics, Fast Grant winners, and the gap between infrastructure and adoption.

AI is the execution engine.
Telegram is the interaction and distribution layer.
TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.

Builders, your turn. 🍳🤖

Does this include agents for coding TMA/smart contracts?

if the agent helps developers build, test, deploy, debug, maintain TMA/smart contracts than the project is clealy positions as AI infra for building TON apps. Less strong fit, if its just a general-purpose coding assistant with weak relation to TON

While we wait for x402 spec review by Coinbase team, I created a facilitator for x402 payments on TON.

Will draft TON integration into official x402’s SDK this week to let the multi-chain community start paying and accepting payments on TON out-of-the-box. If anyone can help with this that would be great!

UPD: just saw that @zkproof already shipped and deployed the x402 facilitator for TON. Wanna help with TON integration into official SDKs?

Quick update: we’ve released two new SBT collections for the Fast Grants for Agent Tooling on TON, one for participants and one for winners, and launched a new Badges section on Identity.

Not all participants have added a reward wallet in settings yet, but there is still time to do that and receive the badge.

We want Badges to become a simple way to make participation, achievements, and ecosystem history more visible across Identity over time.

More on the thinking behind the Badges section:

🚀 TON MCP Documentation is now live

The official documentation for TON MCP is now available.

TON MCP provides a standard way to connect AI agents to TON, enabling them to perform common blockchain operations.
If you’re building AI agents or exploring integrations on TON, MCP provides a clear starting point.

Anthropic has released a feature to use Claude Code on Telegram 😁

What’s stopping you from starting to build now?

Did you know many TON users trust tokens based on websites and social media hype without verifying if those claims are actually true?

Projects can appear clean on-chain while their websites borrow fake credibility through unverified audits, listings, and affiliations causing users to make risky decisions.

Meet VERITAS, a Telegram native TON trust AI-powered investigation tool that verifies whether a project’s website claims are backed by real on-chain data, public sources, and historical scan records. So you no longer trade by intuition but you trade with verified data and facts, safer and wiser. Just drop the contract address, VERITAS scans and returns results in seconds.. How amazing is that?

Unlike basic token trackers, Veritas detects trust abuse, tracks website changes over time, and delivers fast, AI-powered verification directly inside Telegram.

You build something. A few people notice. By next week, no one remembers.

We built Launches to fix that. It's a new section on Identity where teams showcase their projects, collect community feedback, and compete for attention in weekly cohorts.
