In this blog, we introduce/explain Free TON with a variety of updates! Since this is a blog for Japanese readers, we are writing most of its contents in Japanese.
All of our posts will be shared/updated in this section as soon as there is an updated article!
2017年12月21日、Telegramの創業者でもあるPavel Durovが、TON(Telegram Open Network、後にThe Open Network)の開発をアナウンスしました。2018年前半、Telegramは2回の投資ラウンドを経て17億ドルの資金を調達しました。しかし、2019年10月に米国証券取引委員会(SEC)が、投資ラウンドでGRAMトークンを発行するのは、違法証券にあたると発行の差し止めを行いました。その後、訴訟が行われ、TONのローンチは2020年4月30日まで延期されました。最終的に、2020年5月12日、PavelはTONプロジェクトを公式的に終了することを発表しました。
しかし、TONはそれで終了しませんでした。TONはもともとオープンソースとして開発されていたため、コミュニティがTONの開発を引き継ぎました。そして、2020年5月7日、Free TONブロックチェーンの稼働が開始しました。Free TONそのものは、現在はTelegramとのつながりはありません。現在、Free TONのコミュニティは「Free TON Declaration of Decentralization(Free TON 分散化宣言)」の考えに基づいて運営されています。
Announcement co-hosted by Japan Yen Hackathon JPYC Co., Ltd.
FreeTON Japan will hold the first Japanese Yen Hackathon in cooperation with JPYC Corporation from August 28th to 29th, 2021.
背景 Background
While cryptocurrency (virtual currency) is recognized worldwide, Japan, in particular, has strict regulations worldwide, making it difficult to do business using tokens.·In the meantime, with the advent of legal means such as JPYC, products and services using tokens can finally be made in Japan.
Therefore, in order to revitalize the business using tokens in Japan, FreeTON Japan planned a Japanese Yen Hackathon in cooperation with JPYC Corporation.“The name of the hackathon means ““Let’s hack the yen””, and it means that we will eventually win sponsorship from the Bank of Japan.”
Hackathon will provide a place to facilitate the acquisition of subsidies from global blockchain projects, accelerate the development of new products and services, and provide an environment where it is easy to move out of Japan to the world.
The Japanese yen hackathon will not end only once, but will continue to be held.
At the first Japanese Yen Hackathon, participants will plan and demonstrate using JPYC while obtaining training programs, technology, and mentoring support from JPYC’s technical team.However, even if the demonstration is not in time, the project will be evaluated and the next hackathon will be able to announce more complete contents.
Participants will receive JPYC equivalent to 2,000 yen and Free TON equivalent to 1,000 yen.Also, if you win the top prize, you can get a subsidy from JPYC!

FreeTON Japan hold a large-scale air drop from July 30th to August 13th.
This is an event to promote the strength of the Free TON community and post Free TON on Moonstake, a staking pool.
The event itself is sponsored by FreeTON Japan, but there is no special restriction on the area of participants, so people from various countries can participate.
At the event, every 100 retweets and likes are collected, 100 tons ($42) will be rewarded. Up to 50 people are in stock, so you have a big chance to win compared to other projects’ airdrops!
The sooner you participate in the airdrop, the more likely you are to be a winner.For more information, please check the tweet below.皆We look forward to your participation and many retweets and likes!!
Moonstake is the fourth largest pool in the world in terms of the balance of staking. Their policy is not just to provide a pool of staking, but to expand with projects through seminars and campaigns to support staking. Moonstake was acquired from Singapore-based listed company OIO Holdings in June 2021 to comply with listed company-level compliance.
多くのブロックチェーンプラットフォームは、チェーンのネイティブトークンをラップして、イーサリアムのブロックチェーン上で扱えるようになっています。Free TONでも同様に、ラップされた TON Crystal (TON)が存在しています。これをWrapped TON Crystal (WTON)と呼びます。
TON Bridgeは、Free TON<->イーサリアムのチェーン間ブリッジのソリューションです。ERC-20規格とTIP-3規格のトークンを双方のチェーンで行き来させることができます。また、TON BridgeではBRIDGEトークンを発行しており、TON Bridgeの将来的な運営はBRIDGEトークンを通したガバナンスで行われます。
Free TON is a blockchain that can handle smart contracts just like Ethereum. This means you can build DApps in Free TON as well.
There is no doubt that one of the most active areas in DApps right now is DeFi. Of course, free TON also has DeFi built on the TON blockchain.
However, the Free TON blockchain has a short history since its launch in May 2020, and the DeFi ecosystem is not enough to flatter. That’s why FreeTON is expanding its ecosystem beyond individuals and projects by working with dao and other organizations.
This time, I will introduce the ecosystem of Free TON that is currently growing.
Organizations driving Free TON’s DeFi ecosystem
Free TON DeFi Governance
Free TON consists of DAO called sub governance (SG), which is organized by region and function. By the way, it is Japan SG that is creating this article.
Free TON has a DeFi SG that specializes in DeFi. DeFi SG discusses in the forum how to grow DeFi in Free TON. Important policy decisions will be voted on, and DeFi services will be created in line with the results of the adoption to join Free TON’s DeFi ecosystem. In addition, contests with TON tokens as prizes are actively held to promote the development of the DeFi ecosystem.
Free TON DeFi Alliance
The Free TON DeFi Alliance is an alliance established to support the development of Free TON’s DeFi ecosystem. The alliance consists of companies that work on Free TON wallets, projects related to Free TON, venture capital, etc.
Projects and developers can get support from alliance members to deploy DeFi services in FreeTON. Support ranges from mentorship and ideas to compliance and education.
Free TON’s Leading DeFi Use Cases
The result of the activities of the Free TON DeFi SG and The Free TON DeFi Alliance is a “early set” use case in FreeTON’s DeFi ecosystem. This time, I will introduce some of them.
To use DeFi, you need a wallet that works seamlessly with DApps. MetaMask is the most representative wallet in ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, but ton Crystal Wallet is responsible for the same positioning.
The wallet comes in a desktop version and a Chrome browser extension, allowing you to use TON Crystal (TON), the native token of the Free TON blockchain, as GAS to move Free TON’s DApps.
Many blockchain platforms wrap the chain’s native tokens so they can be handled on Ethereum’s blockchain. Similarly, there is a wrapped TON Crystal (TON) in Free TON. This is called The Wrapted TON Crystal (WTON).
By locking a TON in circulation on a Free TON to Vault Contract for WTON, anyone can migrate to TON as a WTON on the Ethereum blockchain. The WTON-TON issuance ratio is 1:1, but due to gas consumption, the ratio is actually a little off.
In addition, some DeFi services, such as TON Swap, require the use of WTON as it is on the Free TON blockchain, so a TON<->WTON conversion service is provided on the Free TON blockchain.
TON Swap is an AMM DEX of TIP-3 standard tokens distributed on the Free TON blockchain. The TIP-3 standard corresponds to the ERC-20 standard in the Ethereum blockchain, and TON Swap provides the same service as Uniswap v2.
TON Swap allows you to swap TIP-3 standard tokens (WTON, USDT bridged from Ethereum, etc.), as well as create token pairs to provide liquidity and earn commission income.
You can also earn a WTON for yield farming on TON Swap. WTON is equivalent to TON, so it is a firmer than receiving tokens with AMM DEX itself, which is not clear future value.
TON Bridge
TON Bridge is a free TON<->-to-chain bridge solution from Ethereum. Tokens of the ERC-20 and TIP-3 standards can be moved back and down in both chains. TON Bridge also issues BRIDGE tokens, and the future operation of TON Bridge will be governance through BRIDGE tokens.
DeFi service developers using Free TON are welcome
As you can see, the Free TON ecosystem remains in very limited territory at the moment. In other words, deFI services in other ecosystems still have a chance to “stand as pioneers” at Free TON!
If you have seen this content and felt the potential of Free TON, please try to build DeFi that received the Free TON blockchain. Free TON’s DApps development is compatible with Solidity, C++, and C. If you have any questions about DeFi development and need help, please feel free to contact free TON Japan Twitter DM.
Free TONは、Proof of Stake(PoS)ベースの投票力分配アルゴリズム(シビルコントロール)を採用しているため、コンセンサスノードに委任することにより、自分が保有しているFree TONのコインCrystal TON(以下、TON)をステーキングして利息を得ることができます。
TON Crystal のステーキング
Free TONのステーキングでは、ユーザーがステーキングがステーキングに参加できるようにするための特別なスマートコントラクト「DePool」をバリデーターが用意します。DePoolは、いわゆるステーキングプールになります。ユーザーはDePoolに対してTONをステーキングすることによって、ノミネーターとしてTONを獲得することができます。DePoolの一覧は「Catalog of DePools」から確認することができます。
ステーキングするTONの数量を入力し「確認」をクリックします。数量は、最低100.5 TON である必要があります。ステーキングを実行すると、0.5 TONが手数料として差し引かれます。確認時に、TON SurfのPINの入力が求められます。その後、自動選択されたDePoolでステーキングが始まります。
Free TON Bridgeでは、BRIDGEトークンを発行しています。このトークンはFree TON BridgeのためのDAO「Bridge DAO」のガバナンスで使用されます。1400万枚が発行され、10万枚を保有するとリレーになることができ、28万枚を保有するとガバナンスへの提案を提出することができるようになります。
Moonstakeは、世界上位のステーキングプールであり、日本市場に対する存在感が大きいことから、Everscale Japanが発足してから早々にパートナーシップのための話し合いを重ねてまいりました。2021年8月のコラボレーション第1弾では、「FreeTON x Moonstake キャンペーン」を開催し、日本だけではなく世界のEverscaleコミュニティへの認知活動を行いました。
現在、ガバナンスソリューションを展開しているプロトコルは数多くあり、世界中に分散し、価値のあるコミュニティをオンラインでサポートする未来が示されています。例えば、Friends With Benefits は、トークンゲートのDiscordグループを介して思想家とクリエイターの間で知識共有を促進しているトークン化されたコミュニティです。この種のタイプのデジタルコミュニティは、分散型金融(DeFi)と分散型ガバナンス(DeGov)の交差点に立つ自律分散型組織 (DAO)として知られています。
