Organized by TON Studio & Codeforces
Welcome to the ultimate smart contract challenge built on Tact — the language for scalable smart contracts on TON. Compete with other developers, write efficient on-chain code, and win Toncoin and exclusive SBTs.
The challenge consists of 5 tasks with increasing complexity. Each one focuses on specific smart contract design and optimization patterns.
| Task Level | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Simple Voting | A basic single-contract voting system. |
| 2 | Serial Voting | Deploy multiple proposals through a master contract. |
| 3 | Scalable Voting | Handle up to 4 billion voters within strict storage limits. |
| 4 | Voting with Refunds | Add TON refund logic for voters and master contract top-ups. |
| 5 | Gas-Managed Voting | Combine scalability, refunds, and gas management. |

Clone the official challenge repository
- This repo contains all templates, tests, and structure:
git clone https://github.com/ton-studio/tact-smart-battle.git cd tact-smart-battle -
Install dependencies:
npm install
-
Solve tasks locally
- Each task has a separate .tact file
- You can run public tests using:
npm run test1 # test for Task 1 npm run test2 # test for Task 2 npm run test # run all public tests
-
Submit your solution on Codeforces
- Go to the Codeforces challenge page for the task you’ve completed.
-
-
Upload your
.tactfile that matches the task:solution1.tact— for Task 1solution2.tact— for Task 2- and so on
-
Submit the file using the provided web form on Codeforces.
-
⚠️ **Do not upload zipped folders or multiple files.** Each submission must contain only one `.tact` file for a single task.
-
Repeat for other tasks
- You can submit other tasks in the same way — one at a time.
- If you improve your solution, you can resubmit it.
- You are allowed up to 3 submissions per hour per task.
- The system will automatically select your highest scoring solution for each task and use it in the final leaderboard.
After you submit a solution, the system will automatically evaluate it and select your best attempt for each task. The final leaderboard will show your highest score per task and your total points.
The leaderboard will look like this, so you can see all of your submissions:
Leaderboard Example
✅ Only verified participants with at least one valid solution will appear on the final leaderboard.
The system provides feedback for the following types of errors:
- Compilation errors — if your
.tactfile fails to compile or crashes during test execution (e.g., throws an exit code), the error message and details will be shown. - Test failures — if your contract does not pass the required interface or logic checks, the failed test cases will be displayed.
This helps you improve your solution and resubmit until you get the best possible result.
-
Submit only the smart contract file for the specific task:
solution1.tact— for Task 1solution2.tact— for Task 2solution3.tact— and so on
-
Do not upload multiple files or zip archives.
-
File names must exactly match the required format, or your submission will be rejected.
❗ Each submission is for a single task only. You cannot submit all tasks at once.
The total score in this challenge is 1000 points, distributed across 5 tasks of increasing difficulty.
Each task includes:
- Logic Score — awarded for passing private tests.
- Gas Bonus — awarded for efficient, low-gas implementations (only for full-passing solutions).
| Task | Title | Logic Score | Gas Bonus | Total Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Simple Voting | 90 | +10 | 100 |
| 2 | Master Contract | 150 | +20 | 170 |
| 3 | Scalable Voting | 200 | +20 | 220 |
| 4 | Voting + Refunds | 220 | +30 | 250 |
| 5 | Gas-Managed Voting | 230 | +30 | 260 |
| 1000 |
Each task includes a set of private tests. You earn logic points only if you pass all of them.
For example:
If Task 3 has 10 private tests, and you pass all 10 — you receive the full 200 points.
If you fail even one test — you get 0 for the logic part.
This ensures your solution is fully correct and production-ready before it’s rewarded.
To encourage optimization, each task also includes a Gas Bonus — awarded only if your solution passes all private tests.
Contracts are compared based on actual gas usage during test runs.
- The most gas-efficient solution gets the full gas bonus.
- Other full-passing solutions receive a scaled bonus based on how close they are to the reference solution.
💡 If your solution is more efficient than the reference, you can score above the listed Total Points for that task.
Gas really matters. Optimize smartly.
-
You can resubmit improved solutions. Only the highest scoring attempt per task will be used in the final result.
-
Partial solutions are still counted for logic points, but do not qualify for gas bonus.
Good luck, and aim for both correctness and efficiency! ⚔️🚀
