I hope veritas makes it 🥲

Voting is now live on mainnet for a change to config parameter 30 and the activation of Catchain 2.0, a new sub-second consensus with ~400ms block-time.

This is a fundamental change to our blockchain, allowing validators to communicate internally with each other using QUIC protocol.

There is a website where you can track the validator voting progress in real time:

Fingers crossed.

While this is not directly about AI, it will definitely be very important for agents on TON

Do you think there is a place for Telegram Аgents in one of these 7 steps?

TON AI Agent Hackathon — Winners 🏆

Two weeks. 160+ submissions. An incredible amount of talent and execution from the community.

This was the first major AI Agent competition on TON, and the quality exceeded all expectations. Builders showed up and delivered.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure — $10,000

Three winners, $3,333 each. These projects create reusable primitives and infrastructure that the entire TON agent ecosystem can build on.

🔹 Imago — LLM inference marketplace on TON with Cocoon TEE integration.

🔹 Catallaxy — Decentralized agent marketplace with HTTP 402 payment protocol.

🔹 ENACT Protocol — Trustless escrow for AI agent commerce.

Track 2: User-Facing Agents — $10,000

🥇 MyTonWallet AI Crypto Agent — $5,000 — The first native AI agent inside a TON wallet. World-class product, seamless integration.

🥈 TON Steward — $3,000 — AI agent for fundraising in Telegram.

🥉 EIVA: Your Digital Soul on TON — $2,000 — A creative take on personal AI agents with TON-native identity.

All participants, make sure your reward wallet is connected in your Identity Hub settings → Wallets section.

P.S. Not being selected does not mean your project is not valuable. We saw incredible work from dozens of teams. Many strong submissions pushed boundaries in agent infrastructure, use cases, and developer tooling. It was really hard to select winners.

Keep building. MTONGA 🚀

Hello everyone. I'm developing a new publicly available standard, "docker-git."
I'll be implementing it in TON soon, but for now I'm showing off what it can do.

The essence of the standard is that it creates convenient environments for AI coding where humans can control the process. I've now implemented the ability to control the browser the agent is running. It can also now be used not only in the console, but also in the browser.

Update regarding the AI Hackathon results for the User-Facing Agents track.

We've heard the community's feedback regarding the projects awarded 2nd and 3rd place, particularly around product readiness and whether the demos worked as expected.

After review, we’ve decided to keep 2nd and 3rd place unchanged. We still believe those teams showed strong ideas.

At the same time, we also recognize the community's concern that working products matter, especially in a track focused on user-facing agents.

So instead of changing the original rankings, we’re adding two additional winners to this category. This approach lets us recognize both sides of what this hackathon was meant to reward: technical ambition and originality, as well as teams that delivered functional, ready-to-use projects.

Updated winners and prizes for the User-Facing Agents track:

🥇1st place — MyTonWallet AI Crypto Agent — $5,000
🥈2nd place — TON Steward — $3,000
🥉3rd place — EIVA: Your Digital Soul on TON — $2,000
🏅Additional winner — TON Agent Platform — $3,000
🏅Additional winner — Tonpixio — $2,000

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback and to all teams who participated.

P.S. Rewards and badges will be distributed tomorrow.

Agentic Wallets on TON: enabling AI agents with dedicated on-chain wallets

TON Tech introduces Agentic Wallets — an open, self-custodial standard that lets AI agents manage funds and send transactions on TON without requiring user approval for every transaction, while keeping full user control. Each agent operates a dedicated on-chain wallet funded by the user, with no intermediary involved.

Getting started is straightforward: a user asks their agent to create a wallet, funds it and confirm setup. From there, control is clearly separated — the user retains ownership through their main wallet, while the agent can transact only within defined limits. Funds can be withdrawn at any time and access can be revoked.

The standard works with existing TON wallets — requires no upgrades, and integrates without vendor lock-in, allowing developers to implement and manage their own setups independently. It is compatible with leading AI models and agent frameworks, and includes MCP & CLI for building and managing agent workflows.

In Telegram, this becomes immediately actionable. Bot API and recent bot-to-bot communication allow agents to interact autonomously. Agentic Wallets extend that foundation: agents on Telegram can now not only communicate, but also make payments within the chat interface.

4 public TON dashboards worth watching right now:

🌸 TON Staking
Staking yield recently spiked toward ~20% APY in TON terms after higher emission. Track validators, liquid staking, inflation and real yield.

🌻 Fragment
TON’s core utility protocol: usernames, numbers, gifts. TVL matters, but real on-chain revenue matters more.
https://dune.com/ton_foundation/fragment

🏦 TON on CEX
Tracks TON deposits and withdrawals across major exchanges. Since 2026, more TON has been leaving CEXs than entering.

🪷 TON Believers Fund
Tracks the large unlock and where released TON goes. So far, staking absorbs more TON than CEX deposits.

Introducing Acton — a new, modern toolchain for developing smart contracts on TON

Acton covers the full development lifecycle: project creation, testing, debugging, dApp integration, deployment, and verification.

CLI-first by design, it works naturally for both developers and AI agents.

1. One toolchain, not a bunch of utilities
Create, build, test, lint, format, deploy, and verify TON contracts in a single coherent environment around Tolk.

2. A tighter build-test-debug loop
Write tests directly in Tolk programming language, run them fast, debug failed transactions, and inspect what actually happened on-chain.

3. Security built in
Coverage, fuzzing, mutation testing, gas profiling, and CI help catch regressions early.

4. A native debugger
Step in, step over, step out, watch variables, and inspect the call stack. A smooth Web2-style developer experience, now inside a blockchain language.

5. Friendly for AI agents
A modern CLI tool that becomes an agent's runtime, with skills and manuals bundled.

6. IDE integtation
Use it with VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Zed, and other LSP‑based editors.

One of Acton’s key features is its advanced support for developing TON smart contracts using AI.

Hey everyone 👋

I just published a small package I've been working on - ton-better-auth. It's a Better Auth plugin that lets users sign in with their TON wallet using TON Connect.
The idea came from needing this for a project and not finding a clean solution. It handles the ton_proof verification on the backend - replay protection, signature validation, state-init parsing for different wallet versions, all that stuff.
Basic setup looks like this:

npm install ton-better-auth

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { tonConnect } from "ton-better-auth";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  plugins: [
    tonConnect({ allowedDomains: ["your-app.com"] }),
  ],
});

Works with @tonconnect/ui-react on the frontend and supports multi-wallet linking.

I also made AI skills for it:

Let me know if you run into any issues or have feedback. Always happy to improve it.
