📱 DegenPhone: August 19 — mint and auction for 2,000 numbers

The DegenPhone team is going with a gradual release to avoid oversupply and price pressure. The rollout is phased: first a mint for existing holders, then two hours later an auction for 2,000 more numbers where the market sets the price. This setup helps prevent dumping and supports healthy, sustainable growth. ❤️

Timeline (CET):

🔵 15:00 — mint opens for current holders
🔵 17:00 — auction for 2,000 new numbers 🔥

How to prepare:

🔵 Connect your TON wallet in the bot, check your balance
🔵 If you have a Pool promo code, keep it handy — you’ll need it in the auction
🔵 Follow the channel so you don’t miss the details and the auction link

Wishing the DegenPhone team success in round two — the first round’s results were truly phenomenal! 😍ank" rel="nofollow">

In-house crypto gaming: meet TheOriginals.io

Some friends just launched crypto games on TheOriginals.io — a platform with original, in-house titles. The format is fast and straightforward.

What’s live now:

💣 Mines — a board with hidden bombs. Open cells one by one: each safe cell multiplies your stake, hit a bomb and the round ends. More bombs — higher potential multiplier and higher risk. You can cash out anytime — the trick is doing it in time.
🎲 Dice — set your win chance (e.g., 30–60%) and roll. Lower chance — higher payout multiplier. Higher chance — safer, smaller win.

How to start:

⚫️ Connect a wallet and fund your balance.
⚫️ Web supports $TON, $USDT, and $BTC, the Telegram mini-app supports $TON only.
⚫️ Pick a game and a stake.
⚫️ Results and payouts are instant after each round (within platform limits).

This is gambling. Play only what you can afford to lose. Check your local laws and age restrictions. This is not investment advice.

?? Why the format is interesting:

• Original, in-house games —ong> no tong>hird-party titles or recycled content.
• Fast UI with minimal clicks.
• Three popular coins in the web app: $TON, $USDT, $BTC.

⚡️ July at Storm Trade — snapshot

While the dev team works on a major upgrade, here’s a quick look at last month’s numbers:

⚡️ Volume: $370 million — the platform’s best month so far.
⚡️ Buybacks: 3.2 million STORM purchased and shared with stakers.
⚡️ Yield: TON Vault returned +0.7 % with no leverage.
⚡️ Top P&L: +$22.9 k booked by the leading trader.
⚡️ Most-traded pairs: TONDEGEN, BTCDEGEN, and native $TON.

Interesting detail: 58 % of positions were long, 42 % short — a healthy balance of opinions, right? 😉

What do these numbers tell us?

➡️Higher liquidity, lower slippage. Big volume makes entries and exits cheaper.
➡️Buybacks lift staking APR. More trading means more STORM bought and paid out to stakers.
➡️Passive vaults stay useful. Moderate but steady returns compete well with simple holding.
➡️Strong P&L draws risk-takers. Big wins are possible — but the same goes for losses.
➡️Demand for Degen pairs keeps climbing. Other TON projects may copy the idea, yet risk control is still the key.

Storm Trade keeps growing, and with it the options for traders and investors. A protocol update is on the way — stay tuned and trade responsibly. 💛

VERB Raises $558M to Acquire TON

VERB

(ticker VERB) is securing approximately $558 million in funding to build a public TON treasury. With these funds, the company plans to buy Toncoin ($TON) and hold it as its primary reserve asset.

The goal is to become the first public company whose core “cushion” consists of TON — effectively treating TON as a reserve asset on its balance sheet. VERB expects to earn both from TON’s price appreciation and staking rewards.

Once the deal closes (scheduled for August 7, 2025), VERB will rebrand as TON Strategy Co. (TSC) and continue growing its existing projects.

Investors:

Over 110 institutional and “crypto-native” participants, including Pantera, Animoca, Kraken, BitGo, Vy Capital, Ribbit Capital, and Graticule (GAMA).

Advisors & Partners: Experts from Kingsway Capital, TON Foundation, and Blockchain.com will join governance. Having Pantera, Animoca, Kraken, and BitGo on board is meant to add both expertise and trust.

Leadership Team:

Executive Chairman: Manuel Stotz (Kingsway Capital; President, TON Foundation)
CEO: Veronika Kapustina (former TON Foundation advisor; ex-Morgan Stanley)
CFO: Sara Olsen (Europa Partners; former Onyx by JPMorgan)
Special Advisor: Peter Smith (CEO & Co-Founder, Blockchain.com)

VERB is betting t

hat TON will remain the main blockchain for Telegram’s product ecosystem. As Telegram’s ecosystem grows, so could the value of VERB’s TON reserves.

Post-Closing Metrics:

➡️Lock-up: ~36% of equity for 6–12 months
➡️Cas

h Ratio: ~77% cash among DAT companies holding non-BTC/ETH assets — one of the highest in the sector
➡️TON Treasury Size: ~5% of TON’s circulating market cap
➡️Capacity for Further TON Accumulation
➡️Ticker: VERB remains listed on Nasdaq, with the new treasury strategy effective post-close
➡️Advisors: Cohen & Company (placement), Reed Smith, Perkins Coie, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck,

Morgan Lewis

Risks: This is a private placement (PIPE) with standard risks: the transaction may not close, markets could decline, and the strategy might underperform. VERB discloses these risks in its disclaimer.

⚡️ DEGEN PHONE — real eSIM-backed NFT numbers coming this week!

Thursday, 7 August at 19:00 UTC+3 the Launch Pool for 1 000 NFT phone numbers on TON goes live.

🔥 1 000 one-of-a-kind NFT numbers
🔥 No KYC. Tier-1 EU/US eSIM, SMS ready on day one (voice in the works)
🔥 Your number = a liquid NFT. Keep it, gift it, or trade it on TON markets
🔥 In partnership with Nicegram

❤️ Why is it different?

⛏️ NFT number
Mint a phone number as an NFT and use the token as a digital key for incoming SMS.

⚙️ Instant Trong>ier-1 eSIM
Scan a QR code, no plastic SIM, no roaming hassle.

↗️ Liquid asset
Transfer, sell, or auction your number like any other token on TON.

🤖 Bot-ready API
AI agents can pull and parse SMS codes automatically — perfect for mass sign-ups.

🔒 True privacy
The number is not tied to your personal ID, SIM-swap is impossible, no KYC, brand-new and history-free.

Example: traditional numbers get stolen — SIM-swap cases in the UK jumped from 289 to almost 3 000 in the last year. With an NFT key that attack can’t happen, and the operator can’t take the number away after months of silence. Buying a normal SIM means sharing passport scans, and leaked operator databases are common. Plus you might inherit spam tags, unpaid loans, or collection calls from the previous owner. That’s just the tip of the SIM-card iceberg.

📈 Market proof
Fragment sold 136,000 Telegram numbers for $100 million — providing nothing beyond Telegram login —and the floor price rocketed from 9 TON to roughly 900 TON (x100!).

📱 DegenPhone goes further: full telephony on eSIM + a tradable NFT. The first real bridge between blockchain and telecom.

🎉 Join the giveaway for early adopters with 💵10 000 prize pool!
Stake TON in the bot before launch — you’re in the draw.

Pool & auction mechanics:

🔵 1 000 numbers minted in the Launch Pool, distributed by share of TON staked 📊
🔵 2 000 numbers in the follow-up auction
🔵 Auction price floor: 100 $TON
🔵 Auction window: 72 h

⚡️ Start-pool pricing exists only in the Launch Pool — grab the lowest price before the floor climbs.

MyTonWallet v4.0 — July Update Overview

⚡️ Instant Transfer Display

Incoming transfers now appear on the recipient’s side immediately after the sender confirms the transaction. While this doesn’t speed up the blockchain itself, it sets a new UX standard — you see the transfer right away, even before it hits the block.

#MyTonWallet is the first wallet to achieve this level of speed in displaying transactions.

💡 Combined with recent TON Core updates — where transactions confirm in ~5 seconds under average network load — using TON is now smoother than ever.

👍 Refreshed Interface

The wallet UI got a fresh polish: updated main card, tabs, balance display, and token color scheme — all now cleaner and more modern.

The design comes from the new native app, MyTonWallet Air, which is currently in testing.

💱 Send and Stake in Fiat

You can now enter amounts in familiar fiat currencies like USD, EUR, RUB, and more — great for beginners or anyone dealing with fiat.

👨‍💻 Better dApp Support + TON Connect

Improved experience when working with decentralized apps via TON Connect. Plus, new features for devs and power users:

🔵 Import wallets of any version
🔵 Create wallets that work exclusively on TON
