AI Dev Wall

@chefrush1 cooking up AI agents on TON.

Builders, your turn. 🍳🤖

💎 TON AI Agent Hackathon is here!

$20,000. Two tracks. Two weeks.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10K)

Build tooling and primitives that help power the next generation of AI applications on TON. This can include wallet integrations, agent coordination, payment flows, developer tools, and other core infrastructure.

Track 2: User facing Agents ($10K)

Build AI agents that users can interact with directly inside Telegram. This can include commerce agents, payment bots, assistants, trading tools, automation products, and other practical AI-powered experiences. These agents can be both user-facing products and part of agent-to-agent interactions on TON, including payments, coordination, and trust.

This is a much bigger shift than just one hackathon.

A new stack is emerging
• Telegram is the interaction and distribution laye
• AI is the execution engine.
• TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.

BotFather MAU grew from 3.5M to 7.4M after AI agents started taking off on Telegram. Developers are already moving. Now it’s time to join the best builders on TON.

📆 Hackathon dates: March 11-25

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

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.

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.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm building 🔤 TON Agent Platform — no-code platform to launch autonomous AI agents on Telegram with native TON integration.

Core features:

— Describe any goal in plain text or voice → agent is live in seconds
— Agents have their own TON wallets — receive, spend, earn autonomously
— 7 AI providers, per-agent model switching on the fly
— Inter-agent communication — agents can delegate tasks to each other
— 20+ built-in tools: on-chain data, gift markets, web search, HTTP fetch
— Plugin ecosystem — extend any agent with custom modules
— Full dashboard: activity logs, wallet control, live agent monitoring

What agents are already doing right now:

— Scanning gift markets across 5 marketplaces 24/7
— Spotting arbitrage spreads and executing purchases on-chain automatically
— Earning TON autonomously, no human involved

Still alpha, built in 14 days from idea to working product. Describe any goal in words and the platform spins up an agent around it — trading, monitoring, analytics, whatever makes sense on TON.

Glad to be among the Fast Grants winners 🙏

We're just getting started.

Hi guys! Does anyone know of an AI agent skill that understands TON and can write both the smart contracts and the frontend for them? We want to build NFT staking for a DAO.

I mean a trained agent that uses best practices in TON.

Hey, I built a SDK implementing the x402 open payment standard for TON & USDT

Sign, verify, and settle HTTP 402 payments with native TON and USDT. Built for API services, AI agents economy and autonomous commerce.

You can also deploy your own payment facilitator server and verify payments for third parties

As demo i deployed a server that you can use to verify x402 payments : x402.resistance.dog

An interesting thing to do would be a decentralized network of facilitators on TON; each facilitator could become a node and contribute to verifying HTTP 402 payments for fees.

https://github.com/TONresistor/x402-ton

Built a working proof-of-concept adding TON blockchain support to x402.org — Coinbase's open payment protocol for HTTP APIs. Any API can accept crypto payments natively, no accounts or sessions needed. Especially relevant for AI agents paying for tools on the fly.

The PR adds gasless USDT payments via W5 wallet — client signs, relay submits, zero TON needed for gas.

Spec PR: https://github.com/coinbase/x402/pull/1455
Demo repo: https://github.com/ohld/x402-ton-poc

If you find this useful — feel free to leave feedback on the spec, support the PR, or contribute. The more signal from the community, the better the chances it gets merged.

For those who loves OpenClaw and Telegram:

launch OpenClaw in the cloud in a few clicks and for a few $/month:

docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/amazon-lightsail-quick-start-guide-openclaw.html

Each agent could act as a node contributing to the decentralization of various network services, such as:

- Agents acting as storage providers, distributing tonbags/tonsites from other agents (or humans) via provider smart contracts

- Agents acting as proxy nodes, contributing to traffic anonymization through garlic routing circuits for tonsites or off-chain payments network; rewarded by micro-transactions via payment channels

- TON DNS have several uses cases and can be associate with a wallet, bag ID, tonsite, or resolve subdomains. All of this can be combined to establish agent identities on TON.

And way more under the hood 🐶

I also found this project for sending emails from agents - https://x.com/agentmail/status/2028893166506787270

You no longer have to feed agents access to CloudFlare or struggle with ngrok-like tools

Great option for local testing!

Just an idea. Has anyone considered how agents might utilize TON Sites and TON DNS? The agent registry?

Hi devs,
my dear colleague (Sergey Pugachev) has just published his new project:

tracing of agent calls with full context, conversations and answers

Check video demo:
www.linkedin.com/posts/spugachev_i-want-to-introduce-my-new-project-sideseat-activity-7434598968879230976-QKfN

Supports Strands Agents, LangGraph, Vercel AI, ADK, OpenAI, Anthropic etc.
Plus it also exposes MCP to your favorite coding assistant can also use the traces for debugging.

Congrats everyone ❤️
Job’s not finished, keep building!

Actually, we really liked your project. I will share some feedback tomorrow. I think you will be a good candidate for the next contest!

VERITAS didn't make it 💔
Congrats to all the winners
