I was usually updated on new projects on the Binance Launchpool but this time, I was almost late on The Open Network token, Toncoin (TON). Farming started a week ago and it was not until the other day that I discovered it. Real life has certainly changed how I go about my online stuff, lol!
The good thing is that the BNB staked on the BNB Vault is automatically eligible. And yes, I'm still keeping some stables (FDUSD) on my Spot Wallet for trading (which unfortunately I haven't done in a long while) or Launchpool staking, so it remained idle until I manually staked it upon learning of the ongoing farming activity.
Anyway, it's not too late as there are still 13 days left to participate and earn some TON by staking in any one or both of the active pools, i.e. FDUSD and BNB (Not Financial or Investment Advice).

More information about the project and its roadmap can be found on its Whitepaper.
Summing Up
TON is on its 7th day since it launched on the Binance Launchpool where users can stake BNB or FDUSD to get a share of the allotted airdrops. The numbers of users in the two staking pools are huge, hence the rewards would not be too much unless one has large amounts of BNB or FDUSD staked.
The token (Toncoin or TON) is already listed on various CEXes (Binance, Kucoin, OKX, Bybit, Gateio, Bitfinex, etc) and also on DEXes (Uniswap V3, PancakeSwap V3) and currently trading at around 6.50 (TON/USDT). It currently has over $16.4 billion market capitalization and is ranked #8 on CMC.
NOTE: Leaving assets on CEX and staking them to earn airdrops are not risk-free. The crypto golden rule (Not your keys, not your crypto) still applies.
