🏆 Telegram and TON Core just launched a new contest for developers with a generous prize fund of $200,000 – and this is just for the first round 💰

⭐ Exceptional participants will be able to join the Telegram team or the TON Core team. Their contest code may also be used to improve the TON blockchain 🚀

Competition drives progress! 📈✉️🤑

📱 Successful businesses are characterized by "high margins and low costs," as highlighted by Charlie Munger in relation to @CocaCola.

❤️ Lately, I've been diving into Poor Charlie's Almanack and pondering over strategies to elevate @TON_Blockchain to the next level.

🐸 I spent some time working with some AI tools(SunoMusic / SoraAI by @OpenAI)

✉️ Imagine if we use @Telegram as a platform with a mini-app (@Tapps) pop-up where people can upload images and speak words. Then, it generates music to become an NFT sound on @TON_Blockchain 🤑.

😍 That sounds like a fantastic scenario to me.

🐸 The research report by Foresight Ventures
Analyzing demographic proportions, age distribution, and available funds to predict future investments in crypto is insightful. The report is well-supported with reliable data sources and is worth reading and considering.

I was surprised to learn that Korea, like Taiwan, lacks a local derivatives exchange due to stringent regulations. However, the need for a local exchange is not as critical. More significantly, meme-coin trading is a major trend in Asia. My question is, "Who profits from these transactions if meme-coin trading is just a zero-sum game?" This is undoubtedly a "Wild West era" where everyone is scrambling for money and attention.

➡️ The report highlights that sharing project information on global channels like X.com, Telegram, and Discord is crucial. Whoever controls the platform and microphone holds power and wealth. In the post-AI era, the importance of datasets or training data will likely increase, especially over the next 5-8 years.

🤑 To help TON succeed, I think: 1️⃣ focus on the Asian market, targeting both users and developers; 2️⃣ develop StarFi to utilize fiat on-ramp channels; 3️⃣ improve the UX of mini-apps to increase revenue per user.

✉️ Telegram has updated its Terms of Service for developers focusing on integration of blockchain features, specifically mandating the use of the TON blockchain for Mini Apps with cryptocurrency functionalities.

🤑 just spent many hours in these few days trying on Tolk, I will say it's good! 🐸

Just implemented the USDT (FunC code) to the Tolk; might be the first Jetton Standard example in Tolk? Can't be sure. But hope it can help those joining TON in the near future.

Here are some points I need to highlight:

1/ Tolk is undoubtedly a new language in the TON ecosystem, and it's lacking documentation at the moment (please help to contribute)! But you can tell the neatness and strictness of numeric types are higher than FunC (Reference).

2/ Without a doubt, as an observer of the community, since I started learning Tact around 2023 Q4, it took a long while to learn all the basics, then touch with FunC code, and so on. And now, as a "not-professional dev," I will say the transition from FunC to Tolk is not that difficult!

🌟 Please feel free to subscribe @tolk_lang, or go to check Github to help with the Tolk language.
