    • First Native Smart Contract

      Hello everyone,

      We are thrilled to share an extraordinary milestone in the history of the FONE ecosystem!

      Following the monumental launch of the Software Validator last week, the response from our community has been nothing short of phenomenal. However, we have heard you loud and clear: many dedicated supporters who secured a validator license reached out, sharing that they do not yet have enough FONE to meet the staking requirement and activate their validators.

      In honour of this milestone and to ensure every validator license holder has the opportunity to get their validators running, we are launching an exclusive, limited-time Mint & Redeem Event!

      Introducing the First Native Smart Contract

      A new update of the Fone Wallet v8.9.0 is now available to download. This update marks a historic breakthrough: the deployment of our very first native smart contract on the FONE Blockchain!

      Having a native smart contract built directly into our blockchain engine is a game-changer. It delivers lightning-fast execution, zero bloated overhead, and complete on-chain security without relying on external bridges or secondary layers.

      The FONE blockchain has evolved tremendously from our early days, and this native smart contract represents a pivotal leap forward. As we continue expanding on our smart contract architecture, this paves the way for opening up full developer access in the near future, empowering builders and creators around the world to build, deploy, and scale decentralized applications natively on FONE through our upcoming SDK.

      The Event: Special Limited-Edition NFTs

      During this limited event, you can mint custom, special-edition collectible NFTs designed specifically to support your validator staking journey:

      Instant Minting & Full Flexibility: Mint these special NFTs directly within the app.

      Redeemable Anytime: Every NFT is backed by our native smart contract and can be redeemed for FONE at any time with a single tap.

      Tiers Ranging From 5,000 to 500,000 FONE: Whether you need a small top-up to activate your validator or want to secure substantial staking power, tiers are available starting from 5,000 FONE up to 500,000 FONE!

      Event Schedule

      This is a strictly time-limited event running for one week only:

      Starts: Tuesday, October 27th at 8:30 AM GMT

      Ends: Tuesday, November 3rd at 8:30 AM GMT

      Make sure to update your app to the latest version to access the event banner and participate before the timer runs out!

    • Software Validator Global Release

      Hello Everyone,

      A huge milestone for Fone Protocol is here!

      Fone Wallet 8.8.0 is now live on Android and iOS, and for the first time ever, our software validator is available globally!

      This opens an exciting new chapter for our community, bringing more people into validation and helping secure the Fone custom blockchain.

      If you are an alpha or beta tester and responded to our email, your Validator License Key is already waiting in the Validator Hub in Fone Wallet v8.8.0, ready to use!

      Get ready before Monday: download the latest software validator from our website and import your license key.

      We’ll make the update mandatory on Monday, so please complete these steps beforehand to avoid downtime.

      Hardware validator pre-orders open next week! We’re giving the software rollout time to run first, so we can test everything and ensure a smooth experience before taking that next step.

      Thank you for helping us reach this milestone. We’re excited to take it forward together!

      Stay tuned for more exciting news and announcements soon.

    • SDK Hackathon Winners

      SDK Hackathon Results

      The Fone Protocol team has completed a thorough review of all community votes to ensure fairness and authenticity. After carefully validating each vote, we decided to count only those cast by members of the official Fone Protocol Telegram Group.

      This was necessary due to several votes from accounts without usernames, younger than 7 days, or consisting solely of numbers/punctuation, which raised validity concerns.

      With the verified votes counted, here are the final standings:

      1st Place – Fone Shop: 25,000,000 FONE

      63 valid votes

      2nd Place – CryptoMon – NeoGenesis: 10,000,000 FONE

      55 valid votes

      3rd Place – Eco-Verify: 5,000,000 FONE

      49 valid votes

      Each project will also receive an additional 2,500,000 FONE for taking part in the voting stage.

      All rewards will be subject to a 12-month vesting period.

      This ensures that each project not only launches officially but also continues active development throughout the year, maintaining eligibility and avoiding any reward suspension.

      A massive thank-you to all participants for their innovative, creative, and highly promising projects. This hackathon showcased the incredible potential of the Fone ecosystem’s developer community.

      The team will now begin work on enabling public SDK access for everyone directly through the Fone Wallet app, with the update arriving after the restructuring phase concludes in the UAE.

      The future of Fone Protocol is brighter than ever – and this is only the beginning.
