A new developer community TON AI Narrative has been launched in TON! This is a place where we explore the synergy of AI + Web3 + Telegram and build the future of AI agents in TON.
Our community has built the first AI tool for TON – TON AI Plugin in the ElizaOS framework.
The goal is simple: any developer should be able to create an AI agent on TON in just 15 minutes.
Now, AI can hold and manage crypto, make transactions, and interact with smart contracts – unlocking.
Example:
But this is just the beginning! TON AI Plugin is the first step toward a full TON AI SDK, which will provide tools for AI agent development, Web3 integration, and Telegram interaction.
🐞 Join the Bug Bounty – Test the TON AI Plugin!
We are looking for enthusiasts who want to explore AI’s potential in Web3 and help improve this tool.
