hello guys!
Could you please tell a little bit more about the CTF format itself? How are you going to run it or what do these competitions consist of? How can a person get any new knowledge while playing this format? What can a new member do in order to blend in?
(So many questions, as you can see)
I just want you to explain the basis and know, whether I can participate in this event.

Thank you for your question!
CTF are the team contests that help develop skills in different fields of computer science, such as programming, system administration, reverse engineering, networks, protocols, cryptography, steganography and exploits writing.
The contest takes place on the cloud platform. Every team gets a virtual machine, which is connected by the network to other virtual machines. During the competition, the organizers regularly store private information unique to each team — flags — into services. The goal of each team is to find vulnerabilities, fix them in their services, exploit them against the services of other teams to access their flags and send them to the verification system.
Don’t worry, you are allowed to use the Internet to look for the information you need. This is also a part of the contest — a good player should know how to gain knowledge.
While playing, the participants get a strong rush of adrenaline, which affects their memory and speed abilities. That really helps to learn new information faster. This is why CTF games is a perfect event to train yourself or your team.
CTF community warmly welcomes new members, and highly experienced players are usually ready to answer any of your questions. Furthermore, the majority of contests has write-ups, where you can get a problem solution.

Hey, that is a really great idea! In post-Soviet countries it is a problem nowdays to find any quality learning, and you just suggest some technical and vocational education and training that will draw attention to the whole IT community. This will surely bring some new members to the Free TON project, so I totaly support you.
What about an AMA session? It would be cool to know you better

I saw Free TON mentioned in RuCTFE this year, so I came here with a question. Do you have an English localization or have you only made the tasks in Russian? Just wondering, if I may join the contest without any knowledge of Russian?

Hey, that is a great question!
The thing is, you don’t really need any language skills to participate. In the beginning, you will be given a few hints but there will be no strict instructions. Your task is to discover the game all by yourself 
So don’t worry, the official language of the competition is English.

So we have some updates since our last post.
We reformed the proposal and this time it’s going to be about the RuCTFE 2020 Competition only.
For now, we decided to focus on the competition-part itself. RuCTFE 2020 is a top-level information security event. A lot of highly qualified players participate in it so it is a great opportunity to promote FreeTON and engage the players in meeting the platform.
Here is the financial plan for this event. Also, an additional proposal for the RuCTFE Conference is coming soon.
| Stage | Dates | How much | For what | KPI description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RuCTFE Step 1 | Up front (26 December 2020) | 5,000 Free TON Crystal | Organizational costs (servers, cloud hosting, etc) | - We have successfully conducted the competition. - We were able to get over 100 active teams with results above zero points. This means that several hundred players learned about the Free TON system to get their reward. In addition to this, each team that had received the “Welcome bonus” would be involved in the Crystal distribution process. Some playing teams may include professional CTF players. - We have mentioned the Free TON project in our social media. The exact number of posts and information in them should be discussed with our PR department. |
| RuCTFE Step 2 | 27 December 2020 | 15,000 Free TON Crystal | The reward for successful contest hosting | RuCTFE organization team received its reward (minus a deduction toward contest’ organization) |
| RuCTFE Step 3 | 28 December 2020 – 1 April 2021 | 50,000 Free TON Crystal | CTF players’ reward | All playing teams have received their rewards. The rewarding process of all participants was completed by April 1, 2021 |
Total 70,000 Free TON Crystal
We plan to allocate 125 winning places. Here’s Free TON Crystal distribution plan among winning places:
1 place: 8192
2 place: 4096
3 place: 2048
4 place: 1024
5 place: 950
6 place: 900
7 place: 850
8 place: 800
9–82 places: 840 - (place * 10)
83 place and below: 10
47,780 Free TON Crystal total.
The remaining [50,000 - 47,780] = 2,220 Free TON Crystal is planned to be spent on Firstblood, Bugbounty or [by the jury’ decision] any other special bonuses achieved by the playing teams. Every team can only take one place.

This is much more reasonable. This works. Good job!
Hi everyone, it’s team HackerDom!
We’d like to present you a quick KPI report for Free TON Community members.
On December 26, we have successfully conducted the competition and got over 125 active teams with results above zero points. More information on results you can find on the scoreboard: https://ctftime.org/event/1178. We have made a few posts about Free TON on our social media
In the end of March we received Free TON Crystals and started the rewarded process. We also rewarded teams of developers and organizers - in sum, there were about 20 people who was working on the competition (https://ructfe.org/devteam/).
The rewarding process is almost completed so far, there are only few team left that haven’t sent us their wallet addresses or haven’t deployed their wallets. All the other teams received their rewards by 1st May 2021.
Once more, we’d like to thank Free TON for this partnership experience. We also hope, we would make more cool projects together in the future!
