🎁 We’re giving away a Plush Pepe and other Telegram gifts!

Recently, we announced that you can now earn up to 4.1% APY just by holding USDT in TON Wallet. To celebrate the update, we’re giving away several Telegram gifts — including one legendary Plush Pepe!

To join, deposit at least 100 USDT into the USDT Earn campaign in TON Wallet before November 14, and keep your deposit there until November 25. We’ll randomly select winners from these three groups, depending on your deposit amount 👇

● 4 Swiss Watches (floor price 36 TON) — for deposits from 100 to 250 USDT 🎁
● 2 Artisan Bricks (floor price 93 TON) — for deposits from 251 to 500 USDT 🧱
● 1 Plush Pepe (floor price 5170 TON) — for deposits from 501 USDT and above 🎁

You can make your deposit in parts, but by November 14 the full amount must already be in the campaign. Your deposit must remain there until November 25. Withdrawals and re-deposits do not count as new deposits — such users won’t be included in the draw.

How to join:

● Open TON Wallet and select the Earn tab at the bottom menu.
● Select the USDT campaign and deposit the required amount.
● That’s it! You’ll immediately start earning up to 4.1% APY on your deposit and automatically join the giveaway!

We’ll randomly select 7 winners on November 26 and share the draw recording in our channel. Telegram gifts will be sent to the winners’ TON Wallets the same day 💎

📢 NFT 2.0: Open Standard vs. Minting API

We’ve seen active discussions and questions around how NFT 2.0 works and how stores can access it. Here's how it works

Two Different Things:

1️⃣ NFT 2.0 Standard (Available Now)

The NFT 2.0 standard is open and fully documented. Any project, protocol, indexer, or marketplace can implement NFT 2.0 support right now by following the public documentation.

📖 Documentation: https://docs.ton.org/v3/documentation/dapps/assets/nft-2.0

There are no limitations. Anyone can build with it.

2️⃣ Mint Platform API (Beta Access)

Separate from the standard itself is the Mint Platform API — a tool that simplifies the NFT minting process.

This API is currently in beta testing with limited access via API keys. Initial partners were selected based on:

▪️ Active collection launches 
▪️ Large-scale IP sticker releases 
▪️ Technical integration readiness

Why Beta?

The testing phase ensures stability, scalability, and optimal user experience before public release. Once testing is complete, the Mint Platform API will open to everyone.

Timeline: Early next year (2026)

Your Options:

If you want to work with NFT 2.0 now, you can implement the open standard yourself using the documentation. If you prefer a simplified minting process, the Mint Platform API will be publicly available in early 2026.

Dear Memelandians,

Last year was a year of ambition, excitement, and, unfortunately, many missteps on our part. As
we look back on the launch of Memelandia, we’re the first to acknowledge that it did not meet
the high standards we set for ourselves, nor did it deliver the experience we promised you, our
community. We owe it to you to be transparent about what went wrong and, more importantly,
what we’re doing to ensure we get it right this time around.

Where We Fell Short

1. The Public Dashboard
One of our biggest shortcomings was the lack of a reliable, regularly updated public
dashboard. This left many of you in the dark about the data that matters most.

What’s changing? We’ve completely revamped this system. The new dashboard will
update every 5 minutes, giving you real-time, on-chain data across major DEXs. The
transparency you deserve is our top priority.

2. Points Distribution and Price Transparency
The previous setup for point distribution and price tracking caused confusion and
frustration.

What’s changing? We’ve scrapped the point system entirely. In its place, a fully
transparent on-chain dashboard will be the backbone of our new ecosystem. And for
those who want to understand exactly how things work, we will share the equations
retrospectively behind everything so everyone can see how the system works and
evolves.

3. Prize Distributions & Liquidity Boosts
Last, but certainly not least, promises around prize distributions and liquidity boosts were
made, and those promises were broken. For this, we apologize unreservedly.

What’s changing? We’ve secured full approval for a $1M budget to ensure every
initiative is properly funded and executed. All token purchases and liquidity boosts will be
handled fully on-chain for complete transparency. Liquidity provisioning will take place
one week after the winner's announcement — or by the end of the following week at the
latest — so you can expect full visibility and accountability throughout the process.

A New Beginning

We’ve decided it’s time to turn the page and begin again — to leave our missteps behind, build
on what we’ve learned, and make a fresh start. Your feedback, patience, and support have
shaped this new chapter, and we’re deeply grateful.

We know our past has been far from perfect, and we’re not promising perfection. What we are
promising is that we’ll keep listening, learning, and improving. This next chapter marks a new
beginning for our community and our platform.

On November 7th, we will leave Memelandia behind and step into something new, something
the entire community can be part of. We can’t wait to share it with you all.

Sincerely,
TON Foundation

📈 Trade U.S. Stocks in Crypto Wallet

Starting today, Crypto Wallet users can trade tokenized shares of major U.S. companies — from Amazon, Netflix and Coca-Cola to Nvidia, Tesla and the ETFs like S&P 500. Trading is available around the clock, Monday through Friday, with no dependence on U.S. market hours 🇺🇸

The new Stocks & ETFs section is now live in select regions and will roll out gradually to others.

All shares in Crypto Wallet are available in the form of tokens, so you can start with as little as $1 and buy fractional shares. You can also send tokenized stocks instantly and completely free to your Telegram contacts 🛫

The new "Stocks & ETFs" section launches with shares from more than 50 leading U.S. companies already available. Some of these stocks also pay dividends: when a company issues dividends on its regular shares, token holders receive payouts in the same token, credited directly to their balance.

To celebrate the launch, we're removing all trading fees on tokenized stocks until January 1, 2026 and launching a giveaway with guaranteed prizes: buy $100 worth of any Stocks, hold them for 14 days, and win bonus shares worth up to $100 💰

🌐 TON Domains: Simple Names for Blockchain Addresses

What’s in a name? TON domains turn long, complex blockchain addresses into simple, memorable names like yourname.ton. With a domain, you can: 

▪️ Receive payments without sharing full wallet addresses
▪️ Host decentralized websites accessible in Telegram
▪️ Maintain a consistent identity across TON apps
▪️ Connect to smart contracts for personal or business use

Where to get your domain?

▪️ Webdom
▪️ Getgems
▪️ dns.ton.org

Plus, they don’t break the bank as domains are owned via decentralized smart contracts with a 0.015 TON annual renewal fee. Using a TON domain makes blockchain interactions faster, clearer, and easier to manage as adoption of Telegram and TON continues to grow.
