Smart Contracts Development

Smart contracts are the building blocks of decentralized applications (DApps) on TON Blockchain. If you're looking to develop your own dApps, it's essential to understand how smart contracts work.

Getting StartedUse Blueprint

The following resources provide valuable information for TON smart contract development:

• TON Hello World: Step-by-step guide for writing your first smart contract - An accessible and concise explanation of the fundamentals with JS.
• How to work with wallet smart contracts - Detailed and careful explanations of smart contract basics with the use of JS and GO.
• Learn Smart Contracts by examples (FunC, Fift)

DApp Development

Decentralized applications (DApps) are applications that run on a peer-to-peer network of computers rather than a single computer (TON Blockchain). They are similar to traditional web applications, but they are built on top of a blockchain network. This means that DApps are decentralized, meaning that no single entity controls them.

Getting Started

DeFi Development

• TON Connect — integration and authentication for DApps.
• Off-chain Payments Processing — examples and concepts for processing payments.
• TON Jetton processing — examples and concepts for processing Jettons.
• Fungible (FT) / Non-fungible (NFT) tokens — smart contracts, examples, tools
