The gaming projects Catizen, Rocky Rabbit, WatBirds, and Hamster Kombat minted coins on the TON blockchain and listed on exchanges.

It is too early to summarize the technical results: the influx of users is so great that the excitement not only persists, but will probably continue to grow in the coming days.

Hamster Kombat was the first time Mintless Jetton technology was used. It was a success. Notably, most users did not provide their TON wallet address in advance, so only about 10 million of them received coins using this new method. The rest receive coins by picking them up on their own from a special smart contract.

Despite the heavy load, the TON blockchain continued to steadily create blocks and process transactions. At the time of Hamster Kombat's launch, backend failures of some wallets, services and exchanges, including Binance, were observed at first, indicating an unprecedented load on the infrastructure. However, the work of all services was quickly restored.

Let me remind you that these gaming projects have multi-million audiences, and Hamster Kombat airdrop has 131 million users.

TON is the only blockchain that can, in principle, cope with events of this scale.

We'll keep an eye on the situation as it develops. There will be more interesting numbers and statistics next week.

Surpassed 10 million monthly active wallets 🤘

Question for the new season of The Open League and game projects that are planning their minting 3 days before Hamster Kombat - do you really think that 239 million users is not enough and you need to add another ten million on top? 😅

Next challenge

✅ May 2024 - Notcoin minting - 20 million MAU

✅ August 2024 - DOGS minting - 50 million MAU

😱 September 2024 - Hamster Kombat minting - 100 million MAU
A grand event will soon take place - the initial coin distribution on the TON blockchain of Hamster Kombat game project. Users will be able to get the coins to their blockchain wallets. On the same day, Hamster will be listed on the world's largest exchanges such as Binance, OKX and Bybit.

Hamster Kombat has already attracted an incredible audience even by Web2 standards - over 239 million players, of which around 100 million are actively playing every month.

These numbers are comparable to the scale of the entire crypto industry, and no blockchain event has ever before attracted such a large number of users.

Each such event is a step forward in the development of blockchain technology. TON has previously successfully hosted mintings of Notcoin (with ~20 million monthly active users) and DOGS (~50 million MAU). Of course, things don't always go perfectly, but we learn from our mistakes and move on. The TON Core team is keeping a close eye on the situation and is ready to respond to any changes.

Right now, the team, validators and product and service developers are finalizing the last preparations before this milestone moment. The TON community, while remaining pioneers, continues to pave the way for mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Actions taken: 1. MINTING METHOD Issue Notcoin used mass mint coins to its users. DOGS tried a mechanism where the user picks up their own coins by himself. The technical arrangement of this process turned out to be not the most optimal. It creates a lot…

TON Mintless Jettons

Introducing the new TON Mintless Jetton technology. It is a jetton that can be instantly distributed to hundreds of millions of users on the TON blockchain, with network fees costing less than a dollar. The user's ownership of their coins is guaranteed by cryptography and a smart contract.

As an example, we created a test jetton called Mintless Points (for testing purposes only, no other value) and distributed it to 18 million wallets in the TON mainnet.

This jetton is compatible with regular jetton in TON. The only difference is that the smart contact is not created in advance, but during the user's first action.

Popular TON ecosystem products such as Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Tonviewer, Tonscan.org, TON API, Toncenter have announced that they will soon support Mintless Jetton technology.

We encourage all products and services in the ecosystem to consider integration as well.

On September 26, the famous game project Hamster Kombat will apply this technology during its coin giveaway. Considering Hamster Kombat's gigantic audience, this event has all chances to become the largest airdrop in the history of cryptocurrencies.
