First Native Staking
MyTonWallet becomes the first wallet to provide staking on the official TON Nominator smart contract.
Reserved funds are used to keep the network operating using its proof-of-stake mechanism. Not only do the nominators receive passive income from holding TON, but also directly influence the overall growth and development of The Open Network by participating in voting.
TON holders with a balance of 10,000 or more can make their first deposits through the MyTonWallet interface. A new version of the official smart contract is expected soon, in which the lower deposit threshold will be significantly reduced.

Mentions of Telegram Premium Giveaways Functionality on Fragment
@tginfo noticed Telegram Premium giveaways functionality added to Fragment.com's codebase. The change was detected thanks to @tgcrawl's automated analysis. Earlier we've already reported about this feature surfacing in Telegram for macOS localization files.
The Fragment platform is considered to be Telegram's partner, designated to provide an option to buy Telegram's Premium subscription, usernames, and anonymous numbers using TON cryptocurrency. All the services can be paid for using QR codes, which are supposed to be scanned in the Tonkeeper wallet.
Other noteworthy mentions in the code
β’ Ability to specify the number of subscriptions.
β’ Ability to specify the number of months β probably for Premium duration.
β’ There's a possible fee for the giveaway functionality.
β’ You can find Premium recipients using search.
β’ The UI has mentions for boosts, but their context is unclear.
It's important to keep in mind that the provided info is a set of assumptions based off the Fragment's code that surfaced, so the functionality may be significantly different on its release. At the moment of writing, the mentioned code was already removed.

π Trading Notcoin on Getgems
Now everyone can buy and sell Notcoin on the Getgems. To do this, you need to convert virtual coins into NFT vouchers in the Trade section. Currently, this functionality is temporarily unavailable. However, according to founder Alexander Plotvinov, the NFT minting process should resume shortly.
After this, users will be able to exchange their game balance of Notcoin for 10M or 100M Notcoin Vouchers (NFT), which can be traded on Getgems (peer-to-peer).
Vouchers can be exchanged for $NOT tokens or for in-game balances within the application.
The price of the $NOT token is still unknown. It could even be zero, as reported on the official channel. Currently, the Pre-market floor of the collection is held at a level of 8-9 TON for 1 million coins.
It's worth noting that trading on Getgems incurs fees. 20% of the NFT value represents the Notcoin royalty, which will be used to maintain liquidity. Another 5% is the marketplace commission. The user receives the remaining 75%.
You can also watch a community video demonstrating the process of trading Notcoin vouchers (Russian language):
