In this article of the #OPTUSeducation series, we’ll take you on a journey through Ton Whales ecosystem, where we’ll explore their key products, dive into the concept of staking, discover the functionalities of the Tonhub wallet, and even get a sneak peek at an exciting upcoming release. So, buckle up and get ready to ride the waves of knowledge as we explore the realm of Ton Whales.
What Ton Whales is and what products are part of your ecosystem?
We’re a team building our ecosystem around the simplest and most user-friendly crypto-related products. We create solutions that can be used not only by crypto enthusiasts but by absolutely anyone, even your mom.
Our key products:
Whales Staking — the opportunity to earn TON by locking up your assets.
Tonhub — our non-custodial wallet for storing, sending, and staking TON.
The Whales Club — our community of friends.
NEW SECRET PROJECT — our new fintech project related to bank cards.
What is staking, and how can you earn through Ton Whales?
Staking is the simplest and most reliable way to earn passive TON income. You send your coins to the pool’s address, and every 36 hours, you receive rewards for doing so. Our smart contract manages this process, completely eliminating human intervention and ensuring the security of your funds.
Currently, we have launched six staking pools with varying yields. The minimum deposit amount is 50 TON. We already have over 10,000 users, and the total amount staked has exceeded 26 million TON.
You can stake your coins in just one minute on our website tonwhales.com or directly through Tonhub or Tonkeeper wallets.
What are the advantages of Tonhub, and what security recommendations can you provide given recent wallet hacks?
We’ve been involved in the crypto space since 2011 and have tried a multitude of different crypto wallets ourselves. In Tonhub, we’ve taken into account all the pros and cons of other products and made the application as user-friendly as possible for both beginners and experienced users.
Here are a few advantages of Tonhub:
— Access to all Ton Whales staking pools from the mobile app.
— The ability to connect a Ledger cold wallet.
— The option to add addresses to your contacts for easier sending.
— A flexible spam filter that allows you to customize filtering conditions.
We are currently wrapping up work on an updated version of the wallet — Tonhub 2.0. The wallet will feature a new design and several new capabilities that we won’t reveal just yet.
There have been no reported cases of Tonhub being hacked. The application’s code is open and available for anyone to inspect. The most critical aspect is to keep your seed phrase in the most secure place possible, NEVER share it with anyone, and NEVER enter it on unverified websites. For additional protection, consider using Ledger.
What’s the purpose of a blockchain explorer, and what are the features of yours?
An explorer is a service for visualizing blocks, transaction histories, and network metrics. Our team is called Ton Whales precisely because of the explorer, which was one of our first products. We created it to understand what whales exist in TON. Ultimately, that’s how we named the company.
In our explorer, you can find information about network configurations, wallets of early miners, the top 1000 TON holders, and easily verify any wallet or transaction.
What new project are you currently working on?
We’re addressing one of the most pressing issues for all crypto users — providing the ability to pay for purchases with cryptocurrency using a bank card. The unique aspect is that the card is directly linked to your non-custodial wallet, eliminating the possibility of funds being blocked by the bank. Remember how banks used to grant you access to your money? Now, it’s the other way around.
We’re only sharing details about this project and its development with members of our club. If you want to learn more and get the card in the first wave, join the club of whales!
How can one join your exclusive Whales Club, and what privileges does it offer?
I believe the most important aspect of the club is the community. The high entry cost for a whale has allowed us to gather only the most genuinely interested individuals, and interacting with them is truly valuable. We discuss intriguing projects, host voice calls, and organize offline events. In the year that the project has been in existence, members of our team have met offline with over 30 club members. It’s been some really cool networking.
Apart from the community, there are other perks:
💎 Access to the most lucrative staking pools.
💳 Exclusive terms in our new FinTech project.
🗞 Product updates, plans, and direct communication with the Ton Whales team.
🤝 A unique networking system with 400 Web3 geeks, punks, pirates, and investors from all over the world.
✅ Access to the token builder, neural network, and accelerator program.
A pass to the club is an NFT whale from our collection. Currently, you can only acquire it on the secondary market.
And lastly, what’s Ton Whales’ superpower?
The strength of any team lies in its people. We have the best specialists and experienced leaders. This is what helps us successfully launch products.
