Introducing the Pending API

Using this API you can track operations on the blockchain that have not yet completed.

As soon as an external message enters the blockchain, the Toncenter API Indexer notices it and builds a subsequent transaction series. Next, the action to be executed (e.g. "Swap on DeDust DEX") is recognized. As transactions are executed, the transaction series is re-indexed.

You can use this API to build responsive applications that respond quickly to user actions and show the progress of pending blockchain operations.

/api/v3/pendingActions

/api/v3/pendingTraces

MyTonWallet uses the Toncenter API

Another impressive example is how the popular non-custodial wallet MyTonWallet has enhanced the “Activity Feed” tab with user activity history using Toncenter's Actions API.

TON Core: Report for March

Throughout March, the TON Core team focused on porting the TON codebase to the RISC-V architecture.

Today, on April 1st, we’re proud to announce that The Open Network can now run on microwaves*, refrigerators, fitness trackers, and smart TVs.

https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton/pull/1584

* Requires magnetron power from 0.8 kW to start the validator.

wallet.ton.org

Together with the MyTonWallet team, we’ve updated wallet.ton.org — a non-commercial, fully open-source web wallet for TON.

wallet.ton.org was the first web wallet in the TON ecosystem, created by me and Kirill Emelyanenko back in 2020. Its code became a foundation for many wallets that followed.

There are more feature-rich wallets that support multiple networks, built-in swaps, and staking, while wallet.ton.org is a simple, fallback, reliable, and open tool that will always remain accessible and free.

The new version stays true to these principles, while adding support for all actual TON technologies — Jettons, Mintless Jettons, NFTs (including Telegram Gifts), TON DNS, TON Connect, Ledger, and more. It’s also been significantly improved in terms of usability.

The MyTonWallet team will continue maintaining this non-commercial version. An updated Chrome Extension is currently under review and will be available soon.

Huge thanks to the MyTonWallet team for their support!

TON Payment Network (Beta)

In this new article, we remind you what this technology is, what we've done so far, and what the next steps are.

Normalized message hash

We propose to standardize the normalized external message hash algorithm proposed by Denis Subbotin.

This approach provides a guaranteed ability to find and track a sent message in the TON Blockchain and is particularly useful for tracking pending actions.

Normalization is already supported by Toncenter API, tonscan.org, TON API and tonviewer.com.

Developers are welcome to participate in the discussion:
