💎 TON AI Agent Hackathon is here!

$20,000. Two tracks. Two weeks.

Track 1: Agent Infrastructure ($10K)
Build tooling and primitives that help power the next generation of AI applications on TON. This can include wallet integrations, agent coordination, payment flows, developer tools, and other core infrastructure.

Track 2: User facing Agents ($10K)
Build AI agents that users can interact with directly inside Telegram. This can include commerce agents, payment bots, assistants, trading tools, automation products, and other practical AI-powered experiences. These agents can be both user-facing products and part of agent-to-agent interactions on TON, including payments, coordination, and trust.

This is a much bigger shift than just one hackathon.

A new stack is emerging
• Telegram is the interaction and distribution layer
• AI is the execution engine.
• TON is the payments, agent-to-agent, and trust layer.

BotFather MAU grew from 3.5M to 7.4M after AI agents started taking off on Telegram. Developers are already moving. Now it’s time to join the best builders on TON.

📆 Hackathon dates: March 11-25

💎 TON Rust Node is Now Available

Built by RSquad Blockchain Lab. A full implementation of the TON protocol that's production-grade, cloud-native, and designed for scale.

What's Inside:
✅ Deployment: Container-first and Kubernetes-native, with Docker images and Helm Charts out of the box. Any DevOps engineer can launch a node ready to sync in under 10 minutes, no TON-specific knowledge required.
✅ Management: Nodectl gives you a single control plane for your entire fleet. Elections, stake management, governance, and analytics. Configure once, run everywhere.
✅ Security: Private keys are never stored unencrypted. HashiCorp Vault integration, with execution and custody separated architecturally.
Deploying one node takes the same effort as deploying a hundred.
