After enduring several bull and bear cycles, the TON ecosystem is finally experiencing its own spring in the current bull market. In September 2023, Telegram officially announced its integration with the TON network, rekindling their partnership. With 900 million monthly active Telegram users now having access to Web3, TON has transformed from a “niche public chain” to a hot commodity.

The crypto market is clearly aware of the wave that the TON ecosystem is set to bring: TON’s ecosystem TVL has exceeded $740 million, increasing 32 times in just over five months, with various applications within the ecosystem thriving. Projects like TON Gamefi’s Notcoin ($NOT) and the viral Memecoin Black and White Dog ($Dogs) have also brought significant attention to the Telegram×TON ecosystem, focusing the entire market’s attention here.

How Close is Mass Adoption?

The Telegram×TON ecosystem seems to be approaching the vision of mass adoption, but the excitement from Memes alone isn’t enough to support TON’s long-term value; more diverse applications need to join this vibrant space. However, the unique technical architecture of TON makes its ecosystem development relatively complex, and the lack of infrastructure also leaves developers without essential tools, which dampens the enthusiasm of projects wanting to join the TON ecosystem.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools. For the rapidly growing TON ecosystem, excellent infrastructure is an indispensable part of its development. The Layer 1.5 solution LayerPixel, built on TON for Telegram, addresses this gap, aiming to provide a one-stop DeFi service for Telegram Mini App developers, helping more outstanding applications overcome the technical barriers of the TON ecosystem.

Recently, LayerPixel reached a significant milestone, announcing the completion of a $2 million seed round led by Kenetic Capital, with participation from Waterdrip Capital, Foresight Venture, VentureSouq, Web3 Port, Microcosm Research, and TMM Club, along with dozens of well-known investors. This round of financing not only proves the market’s confidence in LayerPixel but also provides strong support for its ambitious plans.

LayerPixel’s recently launched Game of Dawn event is an attempt to seamlessly introduce Web2 users to the Web3 world, bringing new energy and possibilities to the TON ecosystem. It showcases the potential of the TON ecosystem to external users while providing new ideas for solving user acquisition and value creation problems.

What makes LayerPixel achieve such remarkable success in both financing and innovation? From technological innovation to user strategy to ecosystem construction, what unique features does LayerPixel have? Let’s delve into this project that is changing the landscape of the TON ecosystem.

From “Pioneer” to “Foundation Builder,” the Rebranding of LayerPixel

There are countless projects providing DeFi solutions; what makes LayerPixel special? Upon understanding the team’s exploration of the TON ecosystem, it becomes clear that the birth of LayerPixel stemmed from the team’s own challenges during development on the TON chain, prompting them to create a solution for others.

Facing Development Technical Challenges

During their exploration of the TON ecosystem, the team gradually discovered that relying solely on external financial support might not be the best solution for projects wanting to enter the TON ecosystem. The real test lies in the technical development of the TON ecosystem.

During early development, the team realized that developing on TON was quite challenging:

• Heterogeneous Asynchronous Sharding Increases Development Difficulty

Unlike Ethereum’s synchronous transaction execution, TON’s heterogeneous asynchronous sharding means transactions on TON are not executed synchronously. In asynchronous transaction execution, a single transaction may independently succeed or fail. This uncertainty and the complex mechanism between shards significantly increase the difficulty and cost of constructing DeFi, which requires fast and certain transaction confirmations.

• Lack of Token Approval Mechanism

Ethereum uses a centralized ledger similar to Alipay, allowing users to easily interact with funds through internal transfers. In contrast, TON uses a decentralized ledger, which cannot transfer assets on behalf of users. Developers need to design more complex contract logic to manage users’ token transfers and approvals, increasing the complexity and cost of smart contract development, as well as the risk of potential vulnerabilities and errors in the code.

Determined to Build Their Own DeFi Infrastructure

Facing the inherent development issues on the TON chain, the team realized that excellent and compatible infrastructure and development tools are crucial for the current TON ecosystem.

The team decided to transform their identity from “pioneers” to “foundation builders,” personally constructing a suitable DeFi infrastructure for the TON ecosystem. Thus, LayerPixel emerged, ready to tackle the development challenges of the TON ecosystem.

LayerPixel: The “Cheat Code” for Development on the TON Chain

As an all-in-one DeFi solution, LayerPixel’s unique layered architecture, integrated wallet, and PixelSwap make it easy for the development team to build DeFi projects based on TON. It’s like having a “cheat code” in a game, making the development process both easy and enjoyable.

Layered Architecture: LayerPixel’s Magical LEGO

LayerPixel features a unique layered architecture consisting of multiple levels, each with its own distinct functions and roles.

Funding Layer

A virtual asset storage layer implementing the token approval function. The Funding Layer supports both the built-in abstract wallet PixelWallet and the externally owned account wallet EOA Wallet, providing basic fund management while also supporting smart contracts and automation.

Settlement Layer

The Settlement Layer acts like a bank vault, storing all funds and relying on the LayerPixel Settlement Engine to handle transaction settlements, ensuring the accurate execution and recording of each transaction.

Execution Layer

The Execution Layer functions as a transaction matching engine, including the AMM Engine, Weighted Pool Engine, and LBP Engine. These three engines work together to provide high-quality liquidity solutions for DeFi.

Extension Layer

Built by third parties, the Extension Layer allows developers to add custom functions and modules, enhancing the system’s flexibility and scalability. For instance, developers can insert an anti-money laundering (AML) module to enable asset freezing functions.

With this multi-layered architecture, LayerPixel offers a flexible, efficient, and scalable DeFi solution to meet the diverse needs of users and developers.

PixelWallet: The Ultimate Tool for Asset Management

Designed for DeFi, LayerPixel’s abstract wallet PixelWallet offers comprehensive functional modules for developers and users. It allows users to manage virtual assets by authorizing LayerPixel’s internal smart contracts:
