🚀 The AI Hackathon review period has been extended until April 3.

The results exceeded all expectations: over 160 submissions, 4x the previous contest.

The volume and variety of projects submitted have genuinely impressed us. A strong mix of thoughtful, creative, and technically impressive work from across the ecosystem.

We definitely didn’t expect that. So, we are extending the review period to April 3 to ensure we have enough time to review every submission thoroughly.

While you wait, two new features just dropped on the Identity platform:

🔹Makers. Add your teammates to submission. Everyone gets the participation badge.
🔹Comments. Talk about projects. Feedback, questions, discussion, all on submission pages.

Thank you for the energy, creativity, and effort you brought to this hackathon.

Keep building! ✨😎

💎 WalletConnect now supports TON.

WalletConnect's global network, which connects 500M+ users across 700+ wallets and facilitated more than $400B in transaction volume in 2025, now has access to TON's expanding stablecoin economy and DeFi ecosystem.

To enable this, TON Connect protocol has been extended to support WalletConnect as a transport layer, allowing TON dApps to interact with multichain wallets without building wallet connection support from scratch.

💎 What this means for the ecosystem:
• Wallets with WalletConnect can now support TON with minimal integration effort.
• Institutions gain access to TON's DeFi and liquidity layer.
• Apps can attract non-TON native audiences.

🏅 Fireblocks and SafePal are among the first to integrate TON through WalletConnect. Through Fireblocks' network of 2,400+ institutional clients, organizations can now tap into TON-based DeFi, including liquidity pools and liquid staking, and incorporate TON into existing treasury workflows.

With institutional capital flowing in, TON's DeFi platforms like STON.fi, DeDust, Tonstakers, Affluent, Storm, and TONCO stand to benefit from deeper liquidity, which in turn means better opportunities for everyday crypto users.

💎 TON x WalletConnect

TON is partnering with WalletConnect to bring reliable wallet connection infrastructure to the ecosystem.

For developers, this means simpler wallet integration. Standard protocols that work across wallets and applications, so you can spend more time on product and less time on connectivity.

For users, it means smoother experiences across TON apps. A consistent connection flow, no matter which app you're using.

Apps that already use WalletConnect on other networks can now integrate with TON faster, reducing the technical work needed to expand.

The first apps and wallets integrating WalletConnect on TON include TonCo, TonStakers, Ston.fi, Affluent, Storm, Safepal, Fireblocks, and DeDust.
