Accelerator Updates

TON Core has prepared an Accelerator update that will further increase network throughput, raise overall limits, and stabilize block times, making them independent of network load.

Additionally, plans include reducing End-to-End latency (the time it takes for transactions to reach users), and work is underway on Layer 2 solutions. A report on the progress in this area has been published in the TON/TVM Sidechains Overview.

Trading NFT Gifts on Fragment

The Gifts section has been added to Fragment.com, allowing users to buy and auction NFT gifts from Telegram.

The platform offers convenient filters to help users find gifts with specific models, patterns, and backgrounds. Each gift also includes detailed information, such as the sender, recipient, attached comment, and the date it was given.

To convert a gift into an NFT and trade it, users must complete Verification (KYC) and meet additional requirements.

The minimum price for listing a gift is 1 TON, and the platform does not charge any fees.

Shortened address format in Gifts

Now, if a gift is converted into an NFT and stored in a wallet with a linked domain, the “Owner” field will display the .ton or .t.me domain.

Previously, this field showed the wallet address in Non-bounceable format, for example: UQ…tESt.

TON Listed on Bitso

Mexican cryptocurrency exchange Bitso has integrated the TON blockchain. Now, users in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia can buy and sell Toncoin for fiat, as well as exchange it for other cryptocurrencies supported by the platform.

In its blog, Bitso highlighted that Toncoin’s low fees and high transaction speed make it an ideal solution for DeFi platforms, games, and applications. Additionally, TON is well integrated with Telegram, making it easily accessible to a wide range of users.

Reducing Latency in the TON

Over the next few months, TON Core plans to reduce network fees by a factor of four.

A preliminary list of updates is available via the link, with more detailed information to be released in April.

A post on the DeDust decentralized exchange’s Telegram channel announced the launch of a DEX aggregator in the platform’s interface.

You can find more details about this update on their channel.

TON price surged by 20.77% in 24 hours

The French news agency AFP reported that Pavel Durov has left France and traveled to Dubai. Following this news, Toncoin’s price jumped by more than 20% in a single day.

As a reminder, in August last year, Pavel Durov was detained upon arrival in France, charged with 12 offenses, and released on bail of €5 million. He was required to report to the police twice a week and was prohibited from leaving France.

Changes in $SWITCH Emission

PocketFi has announced the burning of $SWITCH. Out of 6.5 billion tokens, only 1,119,161,920 $SWITCH will enter the market.

To prevent your $SWITCH tokens from being burned, you must complete verification. The cost ranges from 0.5 TON to 2 TON, depending on user activity, but the developers have not disclosed how the algorithms work. Users who complete verification will receive a +5% bonus to their tokens.

You should verify as soon as possible. If you don’t, your tokens will be permanently burned.

To complete verification, go to PocketFi, click on “Unverified Account,” and follow the instructions: pay with TON or Stars.

$SWITCH Tokens may be Burned for Unverified Users

PocketFi has announced that $SWITCH mining has officially ended. Additionally, the staking mechanism has been improved—rewards now go directly to the mining balance.

For users who have not yet completed Verification, the Verification section displays the number of tokens that will be burned if they fail to verify. They have until April 12 to complete the process, after which the tokens may be permanently burned. However, according to PocketFi, verification is not mandatory.

The final total supply of $SWITCH that will enter the market will be announced by PocketFi on April 14.

TON Payment Network

TON Core has introduced TON Payment Network (Beta), a new system for accepting payments via payment channels.

How it works:

• Creates payment channels between two parties to process multiple transactions off-chain
• Records the final result on-chain only when the channel is closed
• Ensures security through smart contracts, eliminating the need to wait for block confirmations
• Enables a network of channels to route payments through intermediaries (A → B → C → D), even without a direct connection between sender and receiver

Benefits:

• More secure interactions with services
• Services don’t have full control over user funds — all operations require user approval
• Transactions occur off-chain and are confirmed in seconds, without waiting for blocks

Note: This method may conflict with Telegram’s policy on virtual goods, which requires using Telegram Stars.

Currently, most services rely on centralized balance processing with deposits in TON, USDT, and other tokens. For TON Payment Network to gain wide adoption, user-friendly solutions must be built around it.

Libre tokenizes Telegram bonds worth $500 million on the TON blockchain

The company Libre is launching a tokenized Telegram Bond Fund (TBF) on the TON blockchain.

What's happening:
• Libre will create a fixed income fund that will purchase $500 million in Telegram bonds and tokenize them on the TON blockchain.
• Accredited investors will gain access to a portion of Telegram's debt obligations, totaling approximately $2.35 billion.
• The obtained tokens can be used as collateral for borrowing and product development within the TON network.

About Libre:
• Specializes in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
• Collaborates with leading financial institutions: Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, Nomura (Laser Digital), and BlackRock.
• Has already tokenized over $200 million in assets.

The real value of tokenizing traditional financial instruments lies in unlocking the utility of these assets — said Avatar Sehra, CEO of Libre.


This project is part of TON's strategy to attract a significant portion of Telegram’s 950+ million users to the blockchain ecosystem, marking an important step in bridging traditional finance with cryptocurrencies and DeFi.

NFT-Gifts on the Blockchain Can Also Become Invalid

Even upgraded gifts sent to the TON blockchain as NFTs can be downgraded to regular gifts or become completely invalid in Telegram. This happens if the stars used to purchase or upgrade the gift are refunded.

How does gift status get downgraded?

For example, a user buys stars via the App Store or Google Play, then purchases and/or upgrades a gift. After 21 days, they send the gift to the TON blockchain as an NFT and later request a refund for the stars. If the refund is approved, Telegram marks the gift as invalid: it can no longer be set on the profile, used as a status, or transferred to another user. However, the NFT itself remains in the user’s wallet on the blockchain.

Sometimes, users purchase stars through unreliable services or P2P deals. In these cases, the seller may initiate a refund, which also results in the gift being burned. We’ve previously covered such cases on the @tginfo channel.

Why does this matter?

Even if the gift becomes invalid in Telegram, it still exists as an NFT and can be listed for sale on marketplaces like Fragment.com, Getgems.io, and others. However, these platforms don’t display warnings about the gift’s status in Telegram, which may mislead buyers who expect to use the gift in their profile.

We recommend checking the status of NFT gifts before purchasing. You can do this using the link format: t.me/nft/GiftName-XXX, replacing “GiftName-XXX” with the correct name (no spaces) and number. For example, Plush Pepe #1098 would be: t.me/nft/PlushPepe-1098.

The Dmitry Korobeynikov channel has already shared examples of gifts listed for sale but no longer usable in Telegram, and also reported that some of these gifts have since been fully restored and are now functional again in Telegram.

MyTonWallet updated to v3.8: NFT attributes, improved transaction feed, base currency display

New NFT screen
If your wallet contains NFTs with attributes (as Telegram gifts), MyTonWallet now displays detailed information about those properties - including rarity percentages and other metadata in future updates.

Improved transaction feed design
All transactions are now displayed more clearly and intuitively. Tokens are shown with both names and icons. Brief labels such as “Purchase” or “Sale” will be used for NFT operations.

Display of amounts in base currency
When sending or viewing transactions, you’ll now see the amount not only in the transaction’s currency but also in your selected base currency: USD, EUR, RUB, CNY, BTC, or TON. For example, if you send USDT and your base currency is TON, both values will be shown.

Quick interface switching
In the desktop and web versions of MyTonWallet, you can now instantly switch between portrait and landscape modes with a single click.
