Introducing the Jetton 2.0 Smart Contract

Transfers and operations with Jetton 2.0 are up to 3 times faster under heavy network load compared to jettons of the previous version.

This improvement was achieved thanks to new shardchain optimizations—the jetton-wallet holding a user’s token balance is now always deployed in the same shardchain as the owner’s wallet. This became possible after the TON node introduced functionality to deploy smart contracts into a specific shardchain (StateInit.fixed_prefix_length).

The smart contract is a direct successor of Jetton 1.2—used for popular tokens like $NOT—written by the TON Core team and covered by unit tests.

We would like to thank Andrew G Kiba, a community developer who made a contribution to the contract’s design.

A Tolk-language version of the smart contract will be released later.

FDUSD heard the community and they have redeployed liquidity.

Welcome everyone to the TON Strategy Co. channel.

Our goal is to fully integrate Toncoin ($TON) into the global financial system, connecting traditional capital markets and next-generation infrastructure, working with the institutions shaping tomorrow’s economy today.

No noise, just signals in this channel. Here you’ll get clear updates on our work, why it matters , and how it fits into the macro and TradFi landscape, as well as the broader TON ecosystem.

If you’re here now, you're early.

Let’s build.

– TON Strategy Co.

Hey TON fam,
Some news I wanted to share directly: as of this week, I’ve officially stepped into the role of President, alongside my position as CEO.

First, a big thanks to Manny (Manuel Stotz) for his guidance this past year. From major institutional backing to supporting the U.S. launch of TON Wallet, his contribution helped steer TON into a new phase of global growth. As Executive Chairman of TON Strategy Co., he’s now leading efforts to integrate Toncoin into the global financial system. If you’re keen on tracking how TON fits into macro and TradFi, go give them a follow @tonstrat.

For my part, I’m honored to take on this expanded role and continue building on what we've started. My focus remains clear:

- Empower developers
- Support creators
- Drive adoption
- And work with partners across the ecosystem to Make TON Great Again

The road ahead is long but we’ve got the right people, the right tech, and the right timing.

Let’s go get it!

The launch of FUSE yesterday represents something bigger than just another marketplace. It's a practical demonstration of how open standards can create sustainable value for creators, communities, and the ecosystem itself.

The NFT 2.0 standard on TON is fully open. Any marketplace can integrate and build on it.

When we launched NFT 2.0, the goal was to solve the fundamental problems that plagued NFT ecosystems: unpaid royalties, creator exploitation, and unsustainable economics that prioritized speculation over utility.

FUSE is one example of this vision in action, designed to put value back into creators, Telegram, and the broader TON community. But it is not the only marketplace, nor should it be. The beauty of open standards is that they enable competition, innovation, and choice.

The first sticker stores on TON helped spark this entire narrative, showing what becomes possible when culture meets collectibles in a native blockchain environment. That pioneering work deserves recognition for proving the concept. Special thanks to @takoy_sasha for leading that charge and showing what was possible.

🔥 TON Foundation supports FUSE because it follows a model that prioritizes creators, IP holders, and long-term community sustainability.

🚨 FUSE operates as a not-for-profit initiative, ensuring maximum value flows back to creators and the community.

✅ Royalties stay within the ecosystem, sustaining Telegram's infrastructure while fueling a growing community fund.

This isn't about picking winners. It's about setting standards that ensure creators get paid, communities benefit from growth, and the ecosystem remains open for anyone to build upon.

By turning culture into ownership, TON empowers everyone to participate - and its professionalism makes the ecosystem a trusted destination for new brands and communities.

The beauty of open standards is that they make competition irrelevant to asset ownership.

It doesn't matter if you buy stickers on Sticker Store, FUSE, or any store launching tomorrow. As long as those stickers are built on the NFT 2.0 standard, they're tradable everywhere that supports the protocol.

Think OpenSea versus Blur. Same NFTs, different venues, same underlying value. You can buy on OpenSea and sell on Blur because both recognize the same Ethereum standards.

That's exactly what NFT 2.0 does on TON. Every platform implementing this standard can display, trade, and interact with stickers from any other platform.

Creators win regardless of where they mint. Their stickers aren't locked into specific platforms. The culture, community, and value all live on-chain, accessible to any interface that supports the standard.

Some people think different platforms mean different types of stickers or fragmented value. That misses the entire point of decentralized infrastructure.

This is why the TON Foundation focuses on creating robust, open standards because they enable unlimited innovation on top.

Your digital assets exist independently of any single platform. Competition between platforms becomes about user experience and creator support, not platform lock-in.

Culture and value stay on-chain while interfaces compete to serve users better.

That's the power of open standards.

Not to be missed, Mario x Manny, tune in for a conversation with our very own @manuelstotz on why crypto, and more importantly, why $TON.
