JUST IN: TON Core introduces “Acton” a new full stack smart contract toolchain for $TON developers
The TON Core team has announced Acton, a modern developer toolchain built for creating smart contracts on the TON blockchain.
Acton is designed to simplify and unify the entire development process instead of forcing developers to rely on multiple separate tools.
It covers the full lifecycle of smart contract development including project creation, testing, debugging, dApp integration, deployment, and verification.
What makes Acton important
1. One unified toolchain
Instead of juggling different utilities, developers can now create, build, test, lint, format, deploy, and verify TON contracts in one consistent environment built around the Tolk programming language.
2. Faster build-test-debug cycle
Developers can write tests directly in Tolk, run them quickly, debug failed transactions, and clearly see what happened on-chain.
3. Built-in security tools
Acton includes coverage analysis, fuzzing, mutation testing, gas profiling, and CI support to catch issues early before deployment.
4. Native debugging experience
A full debugger is included, allowing developers to step through code, inspect variables, and trace call stacks like in traditional Web2 environments.
5. AI-agent friendly design
The CLI is built to work naturally with AI agents, with bundled skills and documentation that allow automated workflows and tool usage.
6. IDE integration
Acton works with modern development environments like VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Cursor, Zed, and other LSP based editors.
Why it matters
This move pushes TON closer to a more developer friendly ecosystem by reducing friction, improving security, and making smart contract development more accessible and automated.
In short, Acton is positioning TON’s developer stack to feel less like experimental blockchain tooling and more like a polished modern software engineering environment.
