TCF Testnet is the Telegram Open Network testnet based on code from ton-blockhain/ton repository, driven by members of TON Community Foundation.
It is no different from the TON testnet and uses the same codebase.
Also there will be no DNS smart-contract at the beginning.
No. TCF Testnet grams can't be transfered to any network.
No, it is not. We proceed from the principle that community management should be, firstly, initiated and developed by the community and not be concentrated in the hands of a particular company, and secondly, that mechanisms should appear as a response to challenges that cannot be resolved through just chat. Simply put, the current stage of TON development and its community already require discussion and formal fixes for certain decision-making and organized efforts to develop the system. Moreover, healthy decentralized systems have multiple coordination and regulation bodies, and ultimately, the final word on the blockchain is left to validators.
TCF consist of decentralized community which include developers, validator-node and/or pool owners, investors, companies, founders and employees of all types of TON-based projects.
There is no way to get a lot of tokens for test in current TON Testnet, so we decided to run our own testnet which will give any TCF member to have an opportunity to test their needs.
There are also other goals we want to achieve:
You need to use this tcf-testnet.config.json for your lite-client.
If you want to go low-level (Fift), this HOWTO will do the trick.
TCF testnet tokens (GRAMs) has no value, don't be tricked to buy them.
You should be TCF member.
All TCF full members will get 12000 GRAMs.
If you need more, then you should create a voting for your proposal with description of your planned activities (e.x. become validator).
If you are not TCF member you can use this faucet TBD!!!.
The basic way of running a full node is described in FullNode HOWTO, but TCF also provides easy to deploy option via Docker-container. With this container you can create full node in all publicly available testnets. Commands are as follows (you may need to change IP and used ports):
Create volume for persistence:

Telegram testnet2:
Rubynet (by TonLabs):
Because TCF Testnet is working on the same code base as TON Testnet, to become validator you can use Validator HOWTO.
Also, container provided by TCF contains ready autovalidation scripts. To use them you need to do the following steps:
docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash
)cd /var/ton-work/contracts && fift -s new-wallet.fif -1 validator
)cd /var/ton-work/contracts && lite-client -C ../db/my-ton-global.config.json -c "sendfile validator-query.boc"
)WALLET_ADDR
, MAX_FACTOR
and STAKE_AMOUNT
in /var/ton-work/contracts/validator_scripts/participate.sh
and /var/ton-work/contracts/validator_scripts/reap.sh
participate.sh
and reap.sh
manually or using cron.Sure, you are more than welcome to visit our website or you can just fill this form.
