Positive developments in progress

ℹ️ Back in late 2025, I saw news that several new developers had joined TON Core. At the time, it wasn’t entirely clear what exactly they were working on. Now the results are becoming visible: blockchain acceleration and a whole set of tools aimed at simplifying smart contract development.

The new product Action (built on top of TolkFmt) added:
▫️ Debugger
▫️ Skills for LLMs
▫️ A wide набор of basic tests
▫️ Various code generators
I also noticed a TON MCP section on the website.

🤔 This significantly lowers the entry barrier for new developers. And considering the capabilities of Claude Code and other AI tools, the process becomes even easier. Lately, I’ve been actively using agent-based development myself. If I consider “vibecoding” to be a rather weak approach with questionable output quality, then agent development already delivers genuinely solid results. Yes, mistakes and hallucinations still happen, so the output absolutely needs verification and testing. But the overall level is already quite serious. It feels like working with an incredibly fast junior-middle developer: unbelievably well-read, yet maximally distracted 😏

➡️ By the way, a funny story happened recently. A 13-year-old school student managed to find a bug in TON without deeply understanding how the system actually works. He simply stumbled upon the vulnerability while probing the code through an LLM. In the end, he earned around $4k. At that age, that’s genuinely life-changing money. After that, the number of poorly reviewed bug bounty requests sharply increased, and TON Core even released a warning reminding users to properly prepare and verify reports before submitting them.

👉 Overall, all of this looks pretty encouraging. I really want to believe that Durov is actually capable of playing the long game and that mTONga won’t turn into yet another short sprint lasting only a couple of weeks or months.
