Solution

Our contribution to the refinement of the TON ecosystem can be subdivided into four main stages:

  • 1

    Blockchain enhancements and fixes

  • 2

    Documentation creation

  • 3

    SEO and content

  • 4

    Development of demo apps

Blockchain enhancements and fixes

Blockchain enhancements
01

Smart contract improvements

PixelPlex delivered various improvements for smart contracts written in FunC and Tact programming languages.

We built a smart contract for the proposal usingTact, making the most of its features like inter-contract interactions, standard sending functions, and storageReserves. We also took care of other fixes and tackled various ad-hoc tasks.

Our smart contract development service providers also enhanced smart contracts written in FunC for the PTP exchanger. This involved adding commissions for order creation, implementing a TX filter, and testing the smart contracts.

02

Migration flow from EVM to TVM

We assisted the TON foundation in creating a migration flow from EVM and Solidity to TVM and FunC. We analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of TON concerning migration, identified areas for improvement, and offered solutions to address these issues. We also conducted research of server software for implementing proxies/bridges during the application migration to TON.

03

Other enhancements and ad-hoc tasks

The client entrusted our team to improve the TON ecosystem, including but not limited to mytonctrl docker file adjustments for mtk scripts, ton-docker-ctrl fixes, nodes troubleshooting, and the adjustment and rework of transaction schemes flow.

TON documentation creation

TON documentation creation
01

Work done

To establish better understanding of TON and its capabilities, facilitate the onboarding of new developers, and promote consistency across different projects within the ecosystem, our TON developers created a set of guides and instructions.

02

Guides and instructions

We covered multiple aspects of the TON ecosystem, including but not limited to:

  • TON Connect documentation rework, including TON Connect SDK, TON Connect Protocol, and TON Assets SDK
  • TON Center examples and user guides, API documentation, and deployment documentation
  • Jetton processing flow
  • Payment processing flow
  • Blueprint SDK
  • Sandbox SDK
  • Tact documentation
  • Nodes 2.0 documentation
  • Mytonctrl2 docker configuration
  • TVM instructions
  • TON EVM bridge
  • VK -> TON migration flow
  • WeChat -> TON migration flow
  • USDt integrators user guides

Development of demo apps

To showcase the capabilities of the TON blockchain and platform applications, we built several TON-powered dApps.

Development of payment
01

Clicker. Tap-to-earn game

For example, our team created a tap-to-earn game called Clicker. The game leverages a play-to-earn game development principle and enables users to receive rewards via gamified interactions. Its interface is tailored to Telegram Mini Apps and caters to both Telegram and VK platforms. We also developed the game’s user flow, engaging mechanics, and reward strategies to keep players actively participating.

02

P2P exchange app

Our P2P crypto exchange software development team also created a demo P2P exchange app that includes an orders list, exchange smart contracts, and an exchange wallet. The app demonstrates the capabilities of TON for decentralized exchanges, allowing users to create orders, swap tokens, filter transactions by different parameters, view order history, and more.

03

Payment in Telegram Mini App

Besides, we participated in the redevelopment of a payment Telegram Mini App that showcases integration with @tonconnect/ui-react and simple processing of USD₮ invoice. Our Telegram Mini Apps development specialists also created detailed instructions for developers, demonstrating how to implement the integration.

SEO and content

Our team conducted an audit of TON’s existing marketing materials to refine and devise a blog strategy and create content for various target audiences.

We also performed an SEO audit of the client’s website and provided a series of recommendations to improve the website’s ranking and address key issues, such as broken links, sitemap errors, HTML validation, and off-page optimization.
