Dear Eric_CEO_Changelly !!!
The concept of Free TON is such that exchanges, depending on the scale of development and popularity, will list themselves on their platforms.
The market must independently evaluate the project and TON Crystal tokens. When bitcoin appeared, it began its circulation and people themselves tested this technology,
appreciated it and bitcoin gradually began to be introduced to the masses. The same concept should happen with TON Crystal.
And the amount of 800k TON Crystal is about $ 1,000,000, which is a lot.
I know, for about a listing of a token - a pricing policy of 100k. - $ 200k …
I personally used your exchanger, I will say that you are super. We wish you prosperity. Thank you
P.S. FREE TON is a blockchain that was born free *
Thank you for your offer! There is a vision in the community that cooperation should be structured with some reasonable upfront payment with major sums payed based on KPIs.
Well, Changelly is a good partner, but as many already said - numbers should be more “real”. Free TON tokens are already very valuable, old contests and partnerships cannot be taken as reference anymore, things should be changed.
Thank you very much for your input. We want to point out that Free TON partnership with Changelly will not only enable TON Crystal to be easily exchanged for more than 100+ currencies, but will offer anyone building a service or an app to receive TON Crystals as payment, even if they don’t want to have exposure on crypto!
To match the Free TON community expectations, we revised the Token request section of our proposal and made it based on unique user transactions with TON Crystal.
Established in 2015, Changelly is one of the most well-recognized instant digital asset venues, providing the ability to seamlessly exchange 160+ currencies at the best market rate to over 1,000,000 customers globally on a monthly basis. In fact, today Changelly is a fundamental piece of digital asset infrastructure that enables massive liquidity for on-chain transactions. Some of our prominent features and services can be summarized as follows:
Non-custodial: Changelly stores none of clients’ funds, as we act as a transferring agent between exchanges and users’ wallets - conceptually from the user’s perspective we act as a cross-chain DEX with fiat connectivity and far better prices. Indeed, everything new is just well-forgotten old;
Wide range of fiat currencies: Users can purchase digital assets with over 50 different fiat currencies including through the most prominent of payment processors, enabling wider access to the digital asset space globally;
Multiple connectivity options: Our API, web, mobile Android and iOS interfaces as well as one of the most popular widgets in the space enable a wide variety of business models for our partners widening our retail and institutional reach (as can be best illustrated by https://changelly.com/partners and over 2m users world-wide);
Fixed rate algorithm: The fixed-rate exchange mechanism allows instant swap of assets, shielding the users from exchange rate risk for 30 seconds.
A network of wallet partners: Changelly has integrated with some of the largest cryptocurrency wallets, including industry titans such as MyEtherWallet, Exodus, Binance, BRD, Edge, Coinomi, Trezor, Ledger, Enjin, Huobi Wallet and many others.
24/7 professional support: Over the last five years we have established robust live round-the-clock and multilingual support operations ensuring full comfort of our customers.
The Value
Retail - integration into Changelly’s portfolio of assets enables:
Despite the recent hype around DeFi apps and DEXes in particular, Changelly has been and until today remains the only functional cross-chain non-custodial liquidity engine with CEX-like execution quality. In other words, being integrated into Changelly, allows for trustless purchase and sell of Free TON Crystal through any medium imaginable, crypto and fiat alike;
Massive fiat gateway with guaranteed market best rates. In other words, over 2m existing Changelly users and the entire Free TON community is one fingertip away from getting into Free TON Crystals and managing portfolio thereof;
Widget enabling and incentivising a massive network of partners and affiliates to offer exchange services for Free TON to anyone who has a wallet and/or a debit/credit card. In other words, anyone can place Chnagelly’s widget on their website, enable users’ order flow into, say, Free TON and benefit from it;
Institutions -integration into Changelly’s portfolio of assets enables:
Execution across the industry’s deepest liquidity books. In other words, for those services/entities who have no liquidity of their own it’s now one simple integration away from offering connectivity to a potent Free TON Crystal execution venue;
Gateway to a universe of brokers, wallets, and other non-execution venues offering exchange services.
Community & PR - integration into Changelly’s portfolio of assets enables:
Email blast and people’s trust for more than 2 million users. In other words, integration into Changelly is a proverbial stamp of quality that will likely send shockwaves across the crypto media landscape;
Engagement and liquidity across the entire wallets’ universe.
Technology - integration into Changelly’s portfolio of assets enables:
Ultimate connectivity toolbox providing for anyone, an institution or individual to engage in the Free TON ecosystem:
Widget
iOS, Android, Web
API
The Offer
Changelly offers to add TON Crystal to its exchange engine. This will not only attract new users to Free TON, but it will let any wallet or application developer add instant exchange functionality using our Open API. We will also utilize our own marketing capabilities in order to bring attention to the Free TON network. In particular, the proposed services include, but are not limited to:
Integration of TON Crystal at Changelly;
Open API and widget allowing the frictionless TON Crystal exchange within any application;
SMM engagement utilizing Changelly and our partners’ social media reach;
Email blast by us and our partners;
Token Request
The initial request is for 100,000 TON Crystal.
Following the integration of the TON Crystal token into our platform as well as the delivery of our Open API a request for 200,000 TON Crystal is made.
Upon the completion of a Marketing Campaign (e.g. email blasts, partner integrations, social media announcements) a request for 150,000 TON Crystal is made.
Furthermore, for every unique transaction, larger than 30 USDT, 3 TON Crystal is requested. A cap of 3,000,000 TON Crystals received or 1,000,000 transactions is applied.
Eric, Hi, thank you very much for taking on the feedback constructively and improving your proposal to the community. I personally think it is now fair and balanced. Support.
The upfront ask is reasonable. Metrics good. Wallet is a recognized one. Changes made. At this point I would say it’s what it needs to be. If I were the supreme leader of Free TON I would say go-go-go! Kidding of course, but yes it’s good.
I have a question: is the exchange functionality contingent on TON Crystal listing on major exchanges? In other words - will users be able to exchange TON Crystals for something else without TON Crystal being listed at Coindbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.?
I can see that Changelly is very popular.
you have a very large media reach. And thanks to your partners (wallet developers), TON Crystal will be widely distributed and informational involvement of new users.
How many partner wallets do you provide with liquidity (API)?
will ton crystal appear in all these wallets, or does it depend on the partners?
All partners that use our API will get the technical ability to exchange TON Crystals in their wallet or service. However, the exact selection of featured assets depends on each specific partner.
This is our partnership analytical report prepared for the “Analytical reports about partners” contest.

I guess the bounce is to be welcomed - from 2,600,000 Crystal to a fraction of this with a massive tax on success. But its the same bad taste as going to a shop and the vendor trying to sell you 10x the market price for something before realising you are not an idiot.
Until the proposal looks less like the crypto incumbents trying to carve up Crystals amongst themselves “just because they can” I would prefer that the community invests such massive resource in innovation that breaks new ground rather than a seat at a table that is arguably rightfully theirs anyway.
Our marketing campaign phase will have following steps (which can be measured as performance indicators):
Series of client email blasts (each blast will target 1+mln Changelly users) each being executed differently to engage target audience more efficiently and maximize conversion.
Twitter, reddit, telegram chats – engagement in each Changelly social media accounts with a series of posts (more than 100k subscribers overall).
Referral program for Free TON media influencers (media influencers will take part in a referral system that will reward them for endorsing new users to buy Free TON crystals. Will be published on the forum).
Engagement with top 20 of Changelly partners to include Free TON crystal in their services.
Kidding of course, but yes it’s good.
TON Crystal quantity is very large.
