TON Punks

💾 Praxis staking & Neuropunks

Praxis staking became available for all TON Punks 💎 holders who have tethered one of their NFTs to PunkCity profile. Staking rewards increase arithmetically on a daily basis. The number of punks you're holding will also affect your reward.

Praxis 💾 is the internal currency of PunkCity, which you can spend on any goods offered through the black market. Recently we allowed every player or community member can suggest their own goods for sale on the black market.

One of the latest products on the black market is NeuroPunks — a generative NFT collection that draws AI art based on your punks! You can purchase a neuropunk on the black market of PunkCity for either Praxis 💾 or TON💎

👾 TON Punks Emojis

Recently, we introduced our own Sapiens Dominabitur Astris emoji pack.

35 NFTs were already added to the pack, and we hope your punk will become the next!

Punks are coming for your loot 🔥

👾 Additional allocations for TON Punks holders!

Yesterday we shared the news about the first IDO that is about to occur on the TON blockchain while also mentioning the privileges of TON Punks 💎 holders in getting allocation tickets for participating.

Today we're happy to announce the raffle of 5 additional allocations (not the tickets!), which will be distributed among our NFT holders! In order to join this raffle, you will need to tether your punk via @PunkCity2094Bot (go to "My Profile" ==> "Connect TON Punks NFT")

If you have more than one punk on your wallet, your chances to win will increase. The raffle will be based on a snapshot of all tethered punks, which we'll make between Sept. 18th and Oct. 5th, so we recommend you to keep your punk tethered during the whole period.

Furthermore, the new bonuses for tethering a punk to the game are coming soon! Don't be late — click the link below and see you in PunkCity🏙

✈️ TON Punks & TON Starter & Fanzee

The first IDO on TON will happen very soon — the allocation raffle registration is already open! Fanzee, the subject of IDO, have recently raised 2,000,000$ from TONcoin.fund and FS Labs. Every registered user will receive one ticket.

However, if you're holding a TON Punks💎 NFT, you will get two tickets instead! The more tickets you'll have — the more chance to win!

There will be a 300$ cap per allocation. IDO will go live on Oct 10. Make sure to register and participate because this event has historical meaning to the whole TON Community:

💫 The mission is over. It's time to determine the best pilots!

Today the last Zeya agents left the PunkCity. They passed us some mystical boxes that were prepared for the fifteen best pilots among those the aliens hired for their mission. Congratulation, virtuosos — you will soon get your prizes!

The five best TON Punks💎 NFT holders among all participants will also get a reward. You can check out the leaderboards or try the mission in a simulator in PunkCity's District 49 — just head straight into the Zeya Starbase!

😰 Bogdanoff? Pump it.

Holders of TON Punks💎 will now have access to a new community-created tool!

Meet @TheRealBogdanoff — a bot watching the latest Pavel Durov posts featuring the "TON" keyword. Earlier Durov messages mentioning TON heavily influenced its exchange rates, so from now on, TON Punks💎 holders may set up automatic TON purchases using either market or limited orders using the OKX API keys. The keys don't allow withdrawal access to ensure their usage safety.

@ghwnd, the bot developer, is a known member of our community — their other project named @punks_bot was one of the first cross-marketplace sales monitors created specifically for TON Punks💎.

In order to get access to @TheRealBogdanoff, you will need to:

1. Purchase any of TON Punks 💎 NFTs
2. Complete the verification process through @punks_bot
3. Join the holders chat where you can request configuration assistance - @TonPunksVerificatorBot

🚀 PunkCity Spaceport - the last call

Zeya's mission is about to end — it's time to determine the best pilots! More than 400 users accepted the alien's challenge during the recruitment period. It seems you're running out of time to join the list of alien wealth hunters!

Zeya agents are reporting that the recruitment will close on September 8th, so we would recommend testing out your spaceship piloting skills as soon as possible.

🎖 What if you're the one who will receive the alien civilization's gifts?

TON Play partnership

👍 One of the TON PUNKS project goals is to create our own game ecosystem. That's why today we declare our partnership with TON Play — an important infrastructure project for developing the game market on TON.

In our opinion, this partnership means great perspectives. It can increase the development quality of Play2Earn solutions and bring new ideas onto the market, positively affecting our project and the entire TON blockchain ecosystem.

If you're developing games and interested in TON blockchain — make sure to check the TON Play accelerator out!

The new location of PunkCity

Aliens from ZEYA planet have built a launch site in our city! 🚀

They're searching for mercenaries among PunkCity citizens and tourists who'll complete the task and overcome the immortal B.

15 of the best pilots will obtain the alien NFT pack🏅

However, it doesn't stop there — the best Punks will get five additional rewards!🏅

There's also a merchant ship where you can buy ZEYA membership cards for praxis💾 or NFT packs for TON💎

Let's help our alien friends to conquer the B. in exchange for their planet treasures 💪

MutantToadz🐸 Tournament Results

Our joint tournament with MutantToadz🐸, which took place in the PunkCity🌃, has ended. 15 best players, as well as 5 random lucky players, will get their NFTs during the next week. You can see the results via the leaderboard available in MutantToadz🐸 room. In order to get the NFT via the game, tether your wallet in PunkCity's Black Market.

This event doesn't mean either the end of development for MutantToadz game, or the PunkCity, of course! Keep in touch with us and wait for new releases to come out really soon 🚀

The work on the first draft of the Soulbound NFT Standard is complete! A quick reminder: SBT is a special kind of NFT where a user can only hold one, and it cannot be transferred to anyone else. This solution was initiated as a part of the second grant we announced a while ago. ⚒

Huge thanks to @xssnik for their work on the smart contract and on the standard proposal.
And a shoutout to TON Punks for doubling the grant’s budget, #community_power 💪

As a result of this grant, the developers came up with
📍a draft of the standard,
📍reference implementation of contracts.

Now all developers are invited to a public discussion of this draft before sending it to the TON Foundation for approval.

This is a new spin on technology development and its possibilities for mass adoption. We can’t wait to see how the community reacts to this and starts utilizing this solution in its products. Once the TON Foundation approves the new standard, of course, it will be available on Getgems as well.

The future is truly exciting!

PunkMaster

Community development has always been our main priority; that's why we've been developing our own TON NFT tools right since we started. We even open-sourced it, yet we found not everyone wants to deal with code and GitHub to set them up. This became a reason for @PunkMasterBot — the best-ever no-code tool for NFT community managers.

At this moment, the Verification, Notification, and Lottery modules are packed up and ready for use. All of this works on top of your own bot, which you set up with your name, bio, and profile pic.

The masterbot will continuously develop and update with new and unique features coming in really soon. If you already use one of our open-source solutions it will definitely worth switching over to the new @PunkMasterBot to gain access to new features.

Convenient tool for managing communities:

Punk City's experience system 🧬

In our NeonPaper, we described and declared the principle of creating independent value for in-game resources, which will not depend on the money flow of newcomers. Today, we're telling about the realization of this principle within the game with Experience 🧬 and Praxis 💾

During the PunkCity battles, the player obtains Experience 🧬 exchangeable to Praxis 💾 via the Shopping Alley's bank. There are different exchanges featuring different rates and conversion times, adding even more value.

On the black market, a player with Praxis 💾 is getting access to exclusive TON Punks💎 and Punk City's partners' goods. TON Punks💎 NFT animation and WL access for MutantToadz🐸 are already available!

Punk City 🌃

A week ago, we described the economic structure of our play2earn ecosystem, and today it is finally being released 🎉

The closed beta test of PunkCity, which has been running in our holders’ chat, ends with the launch of the MutantToadz🐸 game

🎮Top 15 players will also receive an NFT from MutantToadz

🏙Punk City Sustainable P2E

Today we're sharing our Neon Paper — quintessence of the next-gen P2E Punk City economic model.

The document includes:

1) Mistakes analysis of modern Play-to-Earn project economies — financial pyramids and dependence on new players.

2) Alternative proposal — our own development of balance improvements and sustainable economy based on creating value

3) Influence of Play-to-Earn on mass cryptocurrency adoption, both in general and particularly with TON. Real-world consequences and labor market changes.

We truly believe that TON Community should avoid Stepn's and Axie's mistakes.

Enjoy reading.

Punk City leaves closed beta the next week.

Soulbound NFTs on TON

On January 26, 2022, Vitalik Buterin introduced the SoulBound NFT concept in his blog. The actual difference between ordinary NFT and Soulbound token is that it's neither tradable nor marketable — it remains tethered to one single owner forever, and its purpose is to reflect achievements of the owner. The original Vitalik’s write-up is available 👉here.

Our partners from Getgems disclosed a new grant for smart-contract developers. It will be delivered to the team that will successfully implement the Soulbound NFT standard in TON.

Task details combined with some TON-specific ideas could be found 👉there.

It seems very important for us to ensure such a standard will appear on TON as soon as possible since we see a lot of use cases for it — even in our projects. This is why we're adding 1000💎 to the grant fund, doubling its total amount.
