RSquad presented our solution in the article Presentation of the work for the contest “Free TON wallet as a Chrome extension”.
Motivation
Mobile apps are used by many and existing wallets (well, some are not just wallets) in Free TON cover this market pretty good. There is still plenty of room for desktop applications. And this contest aims to cover one of the options of working with tokens on desktop computers — Chrome extensions.
Wallet as an extension is not just a wallet, it’s a communicator that lets the user connect with web-sites. You want to easily buy something in the eshop? Planning to spend some time rolling dice? Want to post some messages on the forum that supports login with your wallet address? All in all, a properly built extension gives numerous options to introduce blockchain to the day-to-day Internet.
The goal
To offer the community handy wallet-as-extension to be used on desktop computers. All the code should be fully open-sourced to offer all the interested parties in joining forces on building the best Chrome extension to be used in Free TON.

Jury Rewards
An amount equal to 5% of the total sum of all total tokens awarded to contest winners will be distributed among jurors who vote and provide feedback. This percentage will be awarded on the following basis:
- The percentage of tokens awarded to the jury will be distributed based on the number of votes each juror casts. For example, if one juror votes 50 times and another juror votes 5 times, the juror who votes 50 times will get 10 times more tokens than the juror who votes 5 times.
- Feedback is mandatory to collect any rewards.
- Jury rewards are distributed in full upon the end of voting regardless of the long term outcome.
