Today, December 1st, marks the official start of the Fone Protocol SDK Hackathon Voting Phase!
The incredible projects have reached the final stage, and now it is up to the community to test them, explore their features, and vote for a favourite.
We encourage everyone to create a new temporary wallet and fund it with a small amount of FONE from your existing wallet for the sole purpose of testing during the hackathon. This ensures full security and peace of mind while interacting with third-party software.
Security Reminder
Each participating project has agreed to comply with all rules, regulations, and legal requirements to protect users and their data, including never collecting, storing, or manipulating private keys or sensitive information.
However, users must ALWAYS remain cautious when entering private keys anywhere outside the official Fone Wallet and officially developed apps and games.
Fone Protocol is not responsible for any lost or stolen assets used within third-party applications during the testing period.
That’s nearly 1 BILLION FONE permanently removed from the total supply of 12 billion.
This is a massive win for the entire ecosystem, strengthening long-term token scarcity and rewarding everyone who has been part of the journey from day one.
SDK Hackathon Update – Internal Testing Underway!
We’re thrilled to announce that two of the three approved Hackathon projects have already provided internal access, and our team has been actively testing them last and this week.
Let us tell you… these projects are absolutely outstanding — innovative, polished, and full of massive potential.
The level of creativity and execution is incredibly promising, and we can’t wait for the community to experience them.
We are still waiting for the third team to share their internal build, and we’re keeping the door open for them to join the testing phase.
Updated Timeline
To ensure that all projects are presented in their complete and final form, we are extending the Hackathon timeline:
New Schedule
– Final Project Submissions: November 21st
– Community Voting: December 1st – December 5th
– Winners Announced: December 8th
This extension guarantees fairness and allows every participant to showcase and improve their best work.
Fone Network is growing faster and stronger than ever.
This historic burn, combined with groundbreaking developer engagement, marks the beginning of an incredible new chapter.
Exactly one year ago, on 11 November 2024, the Fone Network launched its custom-built mobile blockchain, and today we proudly celebrate its first anniversary. What a year it has been! A year of innovation, expansion, breakthroughs, community growth, and non-stop building toward a robust decentralized ecosystem.
Legacy Account Migration Is Now Officially Closed
As of today, the migration window for all legacy accounts across all apps and games has officially ended.
Management will now begin a complete calculation and reconciliation phase to determine the total amount of FONE that was not migrated. Once the final numbers are confirmed, we will proceed with a burn event to remove the unmigrated supply from circulation.
A detailed announcement will follow once the calculations are complete.
SDK Hackathon Momentum Is Incredible
We are thrilled to share that the SDK Hackathon is in full force!
Participating teams have already started sending us access to their internal builds, and what we’re seeing is nothing short of amazing.
From games, tools, utilities, and integrations — the creativity, quality, and ambition behind these projects is unbelievable. Watching these ideas come to life on the Fone Network is proof that our developer community is powerful and growing.
Thank you to every developer, validator, community member, and player who helped push the Fone Network forward over the past year.
This is only the beginning. The next 12 months will be even bigger.
The registration period for the Fone Network SDK has officially concluded!
Over 10 project teams reached out with exciting ideas to integrate FONE into innovative apps and platforms.
Some teams did not have active developers to bring their concepts to life, others are working on larger projects that require more than a month to complete, and a few decided to continue developing privately until the public SDK release.
After careful review, we’ve selected the Top 3 projects that will officially compete in this SDK Challenge and bring their MVPs to life:
⸻
1. Crypto NeoGenesis
A hybrid mini-game ecosystem where players collect puzzle pieces to unlock unique monsters, each offering gameplay boosts like increased XP, Gold, or FONE rewards.
Users can play games such as Flappy Bird, Wordle, Blackjack, and more, earning in-game currency and tokens — all powered by the Fone Network for a fun, rewarding experience.
⸻
2. Eco-Verify
A Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Protocol (DePIN) that rewards users with FONE for completing real-world “green verification” missions, like validating recycling points or solar panels.
By staking and validating each other’s submissions, participants ensure data integrity, transparency, and environmental impact through blockchain-backed verification.
⸻
3. SmartWear Commerce
An e-commerce platform dedicated to selling next-generation Smart Glasses and Smart Bracelets that seamlessly connect to the Fone Network ecosystem.
Customers will be able to explore, purchase, and later integrate their wearable data with FONE-powered applications, bridging physical products with digital rewards.
⸻

Community Update – Dubai, SDK Schedule, Migrations & BEP-20 Deposits
The event in Dubai was fantastic and full of high-quality conversations and a ton of potential opportunities for Fone Network and 3TV. Over the next two weeks, our team will meet with everyone who showed deeper interest to explore partnerships and next steps. We’ll share more updates later this month once those meetings wrap.
SDK timeline – shifted by one week
Due to a hectic investor week around October 10 in Dubai (and to ensure we speak with all Hackathon participants), the SDK milestones shift by one week. Thank you to all already-approved projects for your patience.
New schedule:
– October 1 to October 17 – Developers email contact@fone.dev to request participation.
– October 20 – Official participants announced, along with exclusive access to the API-based Fone Network SDK.
– October 20 – November 21 – 30 days to deliver at least a Minimum Viable Product – MVP released on the Web, Google Play, or the Apple App Store written in a preferred programming language.
Weekly Updates – Every Friday until the final due date.
– November 21 – Final submission deadline.
– November 24 – 28 – Community voting to decide the winners.
Legacy account migrations – final reminder
Legacy account migrations end on November 11, 2025 (exactly one year after the Fone mainnet launch).
Please complete your migration before November 11. Once the window closes, migrations will no longer be available.
Important for holders of FONE (BEP-20 on BSC)
To make our restructuring as smooth and accurate as possible, all FONE on Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20) must be deposited into your Fone Wallet. Consolidating balances inside the Fone ecosystem greatly simplifies the process. For FONE on MEXC, you need to go to the withdrawal section to see it as it is no longer listed in the balance section.
Stay tuned for more exciting news and announcements soon.
We are delighted to announce that Fone Network is moving to the next level.
If you have not seen the latest Livestream, the Founder and CEO Ivan Likov did a few days ago, we highly encourage you to watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2q2CQ3vi_4
During recent travels to Dubai to establish a new partnership between Fone Network and 3TV Dubai, Ivan met with a Holding company that operates in the same domain as Fone, with technology, legal and advisory departments that specialize in structuring and administration.
After numerous meetings and countless hours spent, we have built trust and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to partner together to bring Fone to new horizons.
We are finalizing the structure and exploring the best way to proceed in accordance with the UAE regulatory and standards.
During this process, trading on Probit Global is paused. Since MEXC does not have a pausing practice, we have requested to be delisted, with the opportunity to list again after the process is complete.
This is a standard practice and typically takes between one and three months; however, we will strive to be ready as soon as possible.
The moment we gain access to the UAE regulatory requirements, we will have access to more liquidity and use cases, which will help us grow the project and expand our business with additional opportunities.
Stay tuned for more details and updates regarding the upgrade soon.
We are thrilled to announce that the Fone Network WEB3 Hackathon begins today.
Developers can request to participate by emailing contact@fone.dev.
Our CEO, Ivan Likov, will personally reach out to schedule a call to discuss your project idea or existing application that could integrate FONE.

We have a vital announcement to make regarding Green Karma.
Green Karma was launched back in 2020 as a partnership between Fone Network and the CO2 Cards company. Fone Network built the game and assisted in the continued development based on CO2 Cards’ requests and needs.
Today, we are pleased to announce that our partnership has evolved. Fone Network has acquired the intellectual property of the game and is relaunching it under the main account on Google Play. CO2 Cards will continue to be the partner when offsetting carbon emissions. Having said that, the game is now available as a new app on Google Play, allowing everyone to log in to their legacy accounts and migrate them to the latest version.
The game is now fully updated and running on the Fone Network blockchain, featuring built-in wallet creation and import functionality.
Open boosters and gather project cards. Collect 50 and redeem them for great rewards, while offsetting 500g CO2 and supporting real-life environmental projects.
We are also preparing the game for its initial release on iOS as soon as the legacy account migration ends.
Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for more exciting news and announcements soon!
