We are happy to reveal the rules and principles of the new long-term initiative by the TON Foundation, The Open League (TOL).

TOL initiative consists of various components such as:

1. Open KPI-based competition for TON projects with public leaderboards
2. LP Boosts on DEXs
3. Trading competitions
4. Quests in @community_bot
5. The Open League Hackathon

The page herein sets the framework for elements #1 and #2 only. To get details on the other parts of TOL, please kindly refer to TON Blog or TON official Telegram channel.

The general principles of TOL are the joint effort of TON Foundation and the participants of the beta season that took place in March 2024. In the beta season, only a limited number of projects (18) was invited to TOL in order to conduct initial tests and develop a comprehensive framework for the future seasons of the initiative. TOL Season #1 and beyond is a program open to any TON project that complies with respective criteria that can be found below.
