Announcing Tonic Docs & Introduction to Fift.The threshold for starting to build on TON is quite high, plus a lack of learning materials and guides makes it spooky for the curious newcomers. Since Tonic's original idea is to simplify all of it, we've been working on a new Tonic rollout: the Tonic Docs library.Designed to come in handy in every TON dev's routine, Tonic Docs are a list of introductory documents and tutorials to make your building endeavors pleasant – especially during the first steps.Tonic Docs are already available at https://docs.tonic.cx/. Today, we're launching with our first Tonic Doc: Introduction to Fift. This 2500 word intro takes you from Fift newbie to writing your first Fift contract!Up next, we'll have an exhaustive overview of TON Development Environments, covering TonCLI, MyLocalTON, ton-contract-executor and tonstarter-contracts. Coming soon! Stay

TonicAsk: TVM DevWe asked several questions a TVM developer known as Purple. He contributed to the minter contract modifications we wrote about yesterday, and has a wider field of view at TON dev community.How come you're a TVM developer? Did you work with other blockchains before laying your finger on TON?I met Roman (founder of @bitoneng) in a chat and he offered me a job. At the time, I didn't even know what smart contracts were. It took me about a month to learn Fift & FunC. Of course, I had C++/C development experience before that.How did you react when first saw the release version of jetton smart contract? Did you like its functionality and the way it was written?There was a lot of misunderstanding why it works that way, but still it's the best way to implement it because of blockchain features. Still not clear why they just took metadata from NFT. My colleague and ITonic – Building on TON. Together.

Make Jetton GreatTeams start playing around with the jetton minter contract. Dropped by the core devs earlier this month, some folks decided to customize it a bit.For example, the @bitoneng team introduced a series of improvements to the source code (made available on GitHub). Among these:- the STR (send to receive) mechanism that enables users to simply send $TON and receive jettons in return instantly; - withdraw $TON any time from the minter contract; - limit ICO time / max. token amount; - adding Fift scripts; - code refactoring.The repository is not production ready yet, but the devs are welcome to examine the lines.Tonic – Building on TON.

The Arrival of JettonsMultiple projects are up for launching their custom tokens on TON – the jettons. It's not an easy task due to the lack of infrastructure around, but TON builders keep proving nothing is impossible.Scaleton is a TON wallet with a focus on jettons. This newly-born product has already become the stronghold of some devs working with jetton smart contracts: it's fairly easy to add your jetton to the wallet on the mainnet, plus there's a handy testnet version of Scaleton.In addition, the founder open-sourced Scaleton to GitHub just yesterday – making it the first open-source wallet of the TON ecosystem. You're welcome to try @scaleton or contribute with a few lines of TypeScript.Tonic – Building on TON. Together.

Jettons Ahead of WalletsDespite the fact jettons are already possible to implement, it's not been an easy task due to the lack of infrastructure: one can deploy a jetton contract and send it, yet the receivers have no way to see their jetton balances nor send it out (unless you're a dev).However, the TON community always finds a way. Recently, the first jetton found its way to the mainnet. More to that, the issuing project even holds an active token sale in public.On its front-end, the sale is implemented in the following way: in order to receive jettons, one must send Toncoin to the ICO address. Afterward, the jettons are automatically sent in return – the amount depends on how much $TON has been received.In order to check your jetton balance – since there are no wallets that support jettons yet – creators implemented a simple on-site solution: on top of the homepage of the ICOTonic – Building on TON.

TON vs AlternativesL1 blockchains existed long before TON stepped into the market. Even though they're less relevant today in terms of functionality and capabilities, many devs keep building on top of Solana or Ethereum, for example.Original TON designers took into account the fact there are other chains that are not easy to compete with. And did their best to architect The Open Network (back then thought of as 'Telegram Open Network').The recently published doc titled 'Comparison of TON, Solana, and Ethereum 2.0' explains ups and downs of each network in comparison to TON. You can read the PDF on ton.org or in attachment – it will be useful for devs struggling with what blockchain to choose from, as well as for entrepreneurs and investors to get the prospects of L1s.Tonic – Building on TON.

1 Billion USDTwo weeks ago, channel of TON posted an address for community donations – with an idea to create a bigger reserve of Toncoin. It would enable Foundation to develop the ecosystem harder, and reach new heights.Starting next day, the donations address exploded with incoming transactions. It reached hundreds of millions USD in $TON equivalent – all being non-profit donations. Today the amount of Toncoin donated surpassed 1 Billion USD equivalent (500M+ $TON) – making it the biggest crypto raise period.There are still not many details how these cosmic amounts will be put to work. One thing is clear: potential of TON is still hard to digest, even for ourselves.Tonic – Building on TON. Together.

TonicAsk: BITONNFTs have long been the hottest topic in TON space. Devs had to think hard when working with smart contracts – for the sake of creating awesome products we seen on the shelves of TON Apps today.In Q1 alone, BITON developed one of a few functional TON NFT marketplaces, built an involved community with 15K subscribers on its channel in Russian, and started the game in other TON directions. Today BITON's CEO also answered the next 5 questions of TonicAsk.Q: BITON seems to be more than just an NFT marketplace. Could you shortly explain the paradigm of products you're building?A: Our main goal is to create an ecosystem of products around NFT. To date, we have the largest set of products in TON and we are going to integrate our NFT and BITON tokens into every corner or our BITON universe.Q: What's the development status of these things?

It was a board where TON enthusiasts could find people they need – to build on The Open Network, together.We soon realized that as TON ecosystem grows, a board doesn't quite fit our needs.That's why, today, we are replacing the web version of TonicMatch with a 'Match' channel on our Discord.From now on, whether you're a dev, a founder, or a project seeking people – just go ahead and introduce yourself.

Inline Bots become miniApps: Introducing WebbotsTelegram is the defacto home for pretty much all TON projects.Many teams rely on the messenger as a core part of their product experience. Bots in particular are a way to interact with and serve Telegram's 600,000,000 monthly active users. With a powerful API, they are an excellent tool to bring TON apps and DeFi to the a wider audience.But, quite frankly, the UI and UX of inline bots is pretty complex, some might even say poor? Not everyone is able to use /commands. Historically, inline terminal-like commands – or a trivially simple button interface – was the only way to interact with bots.No more.@tginfoen recently showed us a sneak peek of an upcoming upgrade to bots called 'web bots'. Much like mini-apps, web bots let developers build web-integrated GUI with pretty interfaces.Documentation is not yet live (though we're told
