Think you could build a decentralized exchange? This contest is for you!

A vibrant blockchain community has launched a contest to build a decentralized exchange — and everyone with bright ideas and technical prowess is invited to take part.

An ambitious contest has launched where blockchain developers will battle it out to put forward their ideas for a new decentralized exchange.

Free TON is inviting applicants to build a suite of FreeDEX smart contracts that prove its network can perform tokens, loans and IOUs quickly and cheaply.

Other requirements include ensuring that FreeDEX can support staking through TON DePool contracts, as well as soft majority voting — where neutral and uninterested parties can take a backseat so decisions are made by those who care most.

Submissions are being accepted from Jan. 27 until March 14, and this is the first of four stages in the roadmap to implementation. The entry that wins the coveted prize of first place will receive a reward of 250,000 TON, with tokens also awarded to the next four runners up.

Blockchain developer Vladimir Maslyakov, an initial member of the Free TON community who shared the proposal on the network’s forum, told Cointelegraph: “We first thought about gathering an initiative group to build a DEX on top of Free TON, but there were so many great and different ideas on how to do it, and so many teams interested in the topic, that we decided to make it an open contest with maximum possible scope.”

‘I built that’

Free TON’s contest isn’t just about the crypto awarded to the winners — it’s about the opportunity to build something that’ll have a lasting impact in the ecosystem, and the buzz associated with knowing you created something that other people use and enjoy.

Of course, there are some requirements that participants need to bear in mind. Their work has to be original, and no more than 10% of another contestant’s work can be used in their proposed solutions. Their plans also need to take into account the peculiarities of the Free TON network, not to mention its goals for the future. And as well as being safe and modern, the set of DEX contracts must be built in accordance with the Declaration of Decentralization — a commitment designed to prevent one single party from influencing network activities.

A jury of Free TON community members are going to be tasked with reviewing submissions based on an extensive set of criteria. They’ll be looking for technical features that enable the DEX to charge a commission from users for transactions, support for the non-custody exchange of any tokens within the Free TON network, and the ability to add liquidity to the trading platform from external blockchains. Sophisticated user interfaces that deliver a smooth experience for web and mobile users are also desirable.


Each jury member will be expected to have a solid understanding of DEX technology, and they will rate each submission on a scale of 1 to 10. They’ll also provide feedback on submissions, making this a constructive environment for bright developers with big ideas.

The proposal to launch stage one of this contest was formally passed on Jan. 23 after more than 50% of voters said “Yes” — firing the starting gun on a creative push to build a decentralized exchange that’ll give the current market leaders a run for their crypto.

A TON of contests

Dozens of contest ideas have been put through their paces through the Free TON forum — giving passionate community members a chance to create animated PR videos about the network, landing pages, games, poems, and everything in between.

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, Free TON asserts that contests are better than grants for a healthy crypto community, as they ensure that token distribution is done meritocratically — and that anyone can take part.

Irrespective of where someone lives, what their background is, or whether they know someone in the world of blockchain, Free TON believes contests give everyone a chance to make a difference — all while speeding up innovation and giving challenging ideas room to breathe.

Voting guide for Gov.Freeton.Org

Gov.Freeton.Org is an interface for contests voting in the decentralized governance system of Free TON.

Go to the main page of Gov.Freeton.Org.

On the left side of the page, you can see the list of SubGovernances in the pop-down menu.

SubGovernances make proposals and run competitions, it is the responsibility of the jury and SubGovernance members to vote in it. Members are people who are actively involved in the activities of the SubGovernance, each of them is also a jury member and has the right to vote. The other jurors are those who have subject matter expertise and have been selected to judge in a particular SubGovernance (e.g. GlobCom, Influencers, Analytics). All competitions begin with a Proposal. Members submit Proposals, vote for it and if more than 50% voted for the proposal, it is accepted and the contest becomes active.

Open the Main Governance or SubGovernance you need and you will see the list of contests.



Find your contest in the list and open it to start the voting.

The first thing you should read carefully is the Contest Proposal attached as a PDF file. The Contest Proposal specifies the conditions and deadlines for submissions as well as the judging criteria. It also defines the deadlines, voting procedures, and rules for the jury in a particular competition. This document should be explored very carefully before voting.



There is a list of submissions below the Contest Proposal. You should open every submission, it should contain a PDF file and a link to the freeton.org forum. Open it, make sure the links work. Check the name of the contestant in the PDF and in the forum message, it’s important to make sure it’s the same person. Authors may also include Telegram Id, wallet address, link to a third-party resource if the work is located there (e.g. Google Disk, Youtube, GitHub).

It happens sometimes that authors who noticed an error re-submit their work and post make a post about it on the forum, so check all submissions for duplicates first, so you can vote for the right submission and reject the wrong one.

Many jurors collect their scores and comments in a personal spreadsheet first, before entering it into the Gov.Freeton.Org interface. You can do as you like, but in any case, it is better to get the full picture of the entries first to decide how to vote.

Read and examine each application carefully, assess whether the work solves the problem of the contest (and if so, to what extent), assess the complexity of the work done, the time spent, and the prospects for implementing the proposed solution.

Check the submission for matching the competition rules, such as submission time (including the time of uploading additional material), copyright.

If you are ready to make a decision, click Cast your vote and a voting window will pop up.



You can see there the scores, the box for a comment, and the box for your master password (seed-phrase).

Submissions are graded on a ten-point scale, plus To abstain and Reject options. Let’s see in detail what it means.

If the work in the submission meets the contest criteria, the judges give it a score. 10 is the highest score, and 1 means you consider the quality of the work is very poor, each score goes into the statistics.

Reject is an important option.

Choose to reject if you see that submission doesn’t meet contest criteria.

For instance:
- You can’t check the contestant’s work (PDF-file doesn’t open, the PDF link is wrong, the file with the work is deleted or blocked on the third-party resource);
- You cannot be sure about the authorship of the work (the link to the forum doesn’t work, leads to someone else’s comment or the author’s name is not mentioned anywhere in the submission)
- The entry does not formally meet the conditions of the contest (e.g. it is an animated sticker pack contest and the entry contains a static sticker pack);
- The submission is spam, was uploaded coincidentally, doesn’t belong to this particular contest.

Reject does not affect the average score, it is necessary when the submission should not take part in the contest at all. In order for the submission to receive the final Reject, more than half of the jurors must vote with this option.

If some submissions are duplicated, you need to figure out which ones are to reject and which are to vote for: reject incomplete submissions and those that was pointed by the author as a duplicate. If there are two identical submissions which meet the contest rules, the judges need to make an agreement between each other which one should be rejected (so that the work couldn’t be rewarded twice).

Choose to abstain if you are not enough qualified to assess the work in the particular contest. It has no effect on the average score of the submission and does not reject it.

You should give a reason for every vote you make in the comment box, that is your feedback for the author. To abstain and Reject also need objectivation. Try to make sure that your comment explains the evaluation criteria that you have used for judging, and that it is professional and has a tactful form.

Now you can enter your seed-phrase (but be careful with ctrl-c, ctrl-v, it is better to memorize your seed-phrase) and proceed to the next submission!

Remember to stay non-biased and open-minded, you need to examine all submissions within the voting time.

Have good voting!

Checklist:
- Choose Main Governance or SubGovernance on the main page of Gov.Freeton.Org and open the Voting Contest you need;
- Read Contest Proposal carefully;
- Look through all submissions to get a general sense about the level of works and make sure there are no duplicates;

Proceeding to a vote, read the submission carefully:
- Make sure that link to a PDF and to a forum post work correctly;
- Check the name of the contestant in PDF file and forum post, it should match — you should be sure it is the same person;
- Assess whether and to what extent the work solves the issue of the contest and the prospects for implementing the proposed solution;
- Assess the complexity of the work done and the taken time;
- Check if the submitted work meets the contest criteria (such as copyright);
- Click Cast your vote and rate the submission on a ten-point scale or choose To abstain or Reject;
- Explain your decision in the comment box;
- Enter your seed-phrase;
- Proceed to the next submission.

Thank you for your attention!

Free TON Global Community Sub-Governance официально запущен 8 Декабря, 2020.

Free TON Global Community Subgovernance - это сообщество, которое состоит из профессионалов в разных областях: баунти, контент и комьюнити менеджеры, модераторы блокчейн форумов, организаторы партнерств, авторы, переводчики, владельцы социальных медиа с разных уголков Мира.

Мы планируем развивать 4 основных направления , которые нацелены на популяризацию и продвижение Free TON, рост активного сообщества, запуск локальных программ и новые партнерства. Наша цель состоит в том, чтобы работа по этим направления велась в дальнейшем силами самого сообщества на постоянной основе во всех регионах мира.

1-е направление: Агрегаторы

Новые партнерства и листинги - это популярные агрегаторы, сервисы, биржи и площадки, обменники, swap-сервисы и криптокошельки.

На текущий момент уже действуют следующие партнерства:

https://www.coingecko.com
https://coinmarketcap.com
https://coinpaprika.com
https://coinstats.app
https://coincodex.com
https://www.cryptocompare.com
https://delta.app
https://blockfolio.com

их 12 всего

Обменник coins.black
Голосование на бирже Atomars

В данный момент идут переговоры с Blockchair (мультиблокчейн-эксплорер) о добавлении TON Crystal.

2-е направление: Работа с Амбассадорами

За короткое время было собрано около 100 заявок от Амбассадоров со всего мира. Эти люди готовы включиться в работу и запускать программы в своих странах. Наша задача отобрать лучшие программы и организовать их запуск.

Также нашей целью является ускорение принятия решений по активностям и быстрому запуску программ и пропоузалов от локальных Амбассадоров. В текущих реалиях пропоузал может висеть на рассмотрении больше месяца – это влияет как и на мотивацию Амбассадоров, так и на скорость роста популярности Free TON. Этого не будет.

3-е направление: Поддержка Free TON на форумах

На самых авторитетных криптофорумах будут отобраны участники, которые будут помогать новичкам в изучении проекта Free TON.

У участников данного контеста будет 2 основные задачи:

Писать определенное количество постов и делать анонсы;
Оказывать поддержку новичкам в роли саппорта.
В дальнейшем мы планируем убрать награды за поддержку и максимально включить в помощь новичкам и общение остальных участников форума.

Главная задача - привить Амбассадорам желание самим начать помогать новичкам на добровольных началах. Для работы на форуме будут на первом этапе отобраны высокоранговые члены каждого форума.

Вся активность будет абсолютно прозрачной, обо всех выполненных действиях и распределении наград будут отчеты.

4-е направление: Развитие социальных сетей

Мы планируем развивать:

- Reddit
- Twitter
- Medium
- YouTube
- Facebook
- Instagram

На каждую сеть мы отберем ограниченное число участников - 30 человек, которые пройдут отбор и будут создавать контент. Мы планируем ротировать группы в течении определенного срока и максимально быстро привлекать локальных Амбассадоров для присоединения к работе.

Только за первый месяц мы планируем привлечь от 1500 новых участников и организовать работу с локальными Амбассадорами.

После одобрения мы сразу запускаем первый контекст на продвижение и запускаем контекст на жюри. Таким образом мы сможем увидеть тех кто эффективно работает, их действия и кто достоин быть в жюри.

Free TON Global Community Subgovernance has been officially launched on December 8, 2020.

Free TON Global Community Subgovernance - is a community that consists of professionals in different fields: bounty, content and community managers, moderators of blockchain forums, partnership organizers, authors, translators, owners of social media from different parts of the world.

We plan to expand 4 main areas, which are aimed at popularization and promotion of Free TON, growth of active community, launch of local programs and new partnerships. Our goal is for these areas to be continued by the community itself on a continuous basis in all regions of the world.

1st direction: Aggregators

New partnerships and listings at popular aggregators, services, exchanges and platforms, swap services and crypto wallets.

The following partnerships are already in place:

https://www.coingecko.com
https://coinmarketcap.com
https://coinpaprika.com
https://coinstats.app
https://coincodex.com
https://www.cryptocompare.com
https://delta.app
https://blockfolio.com

there are 12 in total

Coins.black Exchange
Voting on the Atomars Exchange

At the moment, negotiations are underway with Blockchair (multiblockchain explorer) to add TON Crystal.

2nd direction: Work with Ambassadors

In a short time, about 100 applications from ambassadors from all over the world were collected. These people are ready to get involved and launch programs in their countries. Our task is to select the best programs and organize their launch.

Also, our goal is to speed up decision making on activities and quick launch of programs and proposals from local ambassadors. In current realities propozal can hang on the consideration of more than a month - it affects both the motivation of ambassadors, and the growth rate of Free TON popularity.

3rd direction: Support for Free TON on forums

At the most reputable crypto forums, participants will be selected to help newcomers in studying the Free TON project.

Participants in this contest will have 2 main tasks:

Write a certain number of posts and make announcements;
To support newcomers as a support.
In the future, we plan to remove the rewards for the support and engage community as much as possible to help newcomers and bust communication with other forum participants.

The main task is to instill in the ambassadors a desire to start helping newcomers on a voluntary basis. To work on the forum at the first stage high ranked members of each forum will be selected.

All activity will be absolutely transparent, there will be reports on all performed actions and rewards distribution.

4th direction: Social network expansion

We plan to grow:

- Reddit
- Twitter
- Medium
- YouTube
- Facebook
- Instagram

For each network we will select a limited number of participants - 30 people who will pass the selection and create content. We plan to rotate groups within a certain period of time and attract local ambassadors to join the work as quickly as possible.

In the first month alone we plan to attract around 1500 new participants and organize work with local ambassadors.

After approval, we immediately launch the first contest for promotion and launch the contest on the jury. In this way we will be able to see those who work effectively, their actions and who are worthy to be on the jury.

What is Sub-Governance in Free TON and why it is needed?

I think many people have come across a misunderstanding of how the decentralized Free TON community works, we will try to explain it to you in this article.

Governance — main administration
Sub-Governance — secondary administration

23 members of Free TON Initial Members are Main Governance

Since the team’s resources are limited, they need additional people to develop the project in all directions at once. To this end, sub-governances have been created, each responsible for a specific activity, such as running a wiki or promoting in a specific language.

If every activity in Free TON goes through voting, what are the sub-governance functions?

To establish a sub-governance, its initiators submit a proposal to the main governance at the Free TON forum, and in case of community support and approval through a vote, the sub-governance gets its responsibilities and budget.

In the future, the sub-governance may vote and determine budgets for their initiatives themselves. Thus, part of the authority is transferred to the sub-governance so that more people can promote the project in different areas.

What is the process of launching sub-governance?

Initially, the launch requires support and community interest. After a successful vote, the sub-governance begins activities to launch the initiatives specified in the original proposal.

One of the first initiatives to launch is a Jury competition to expand the vote on proposals and thus reduce the risk of centralized control.

How do sub-governances differ from each other? Are they somehow connected to each other?

Each sub-governance has Initial Members , they create initial proposal for sub-governance creation and become the first members of the Jury in this sub-governance. They also launch and manage the first contests. As the membership grows, more initiatives will be launched and conducted independently of each other.

The sub-governances are not related to each other directly and can therefore duplicate the functions that other sub-governances have. However, different sub-governances may have the same participants or even Initial Members.

All sub-governances are responsible to the community and the main governance.

In general, a sub-governance is a group of active community members who want to implement their ideas in Free TON, anyone with sufficient experience and skills can create their own sub-governance or join an existing one if their proposal is approved by a vote.
