🅱️Workshop Recording: Smart Contract Development on TON — Key Features and Best Practices from Bidask Protocol!

During the TON Mini Apps Build Contest, a highly informative workshop took place .

In this session, we walked through the essentials of designing and writing smart contracts in the TON ecosystem. He covered key aspects including architecture, syntax, testing, and security considerations.

This is a must-watch for anyone working with TON smart contracts, building on-chain logic for Telegram Mini Apps, or aiming to avoid common pitfalls.
