## **Cookbook: A Guide to Hosting TON Breakfasts**

This comprehensive guide is designed to assist you in organizing your very own TON breakfasts, dinners, lunches, or informal gatherings. Whether you are a TON Society enthusiast or simply intrigued by the world of cryptocurrency, this networking event offers an ideal platform to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas and projects, and foster collaborations with others.

If you're eager to get started, join us in the chat **[here](https://t.me/tonsociety_chat/10424)**, where you can announce upcoming breakfasts, extend invitations to participants, and receive support from the community. 

Let's make these TON Breakfasts memorable and enriching experiences together!

### **Step 1: Prepare the dish**

The concept of TON Breakfasts is to promote networking, collaboration, and growth within the TON Society. These gatherings can take place during breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and participants engage with each other in any format they prefer.

The number of attendees can vary from 2 to 20 people or even more, and the cost per person typically ranges from $5 to $10. There are two options for handling the expenses: you can either organize a self-paid breakfast where attendees cover their own costs, or you can arrange the breakfast and request reimbursement from the TON Foundation afterward.

If you choose the reimbursement option, please send the bill, a photo of all the breakfast attendees, and your wallet details to **[dariagavrilchik](https://t.me/dariagavrilchik)**. The refund will be processed in USDT and may take 2-3 weeks to complete.

### **Step 2: Check the ingredients for the recipe**

To begin, you'll need a minimum of two individuals with an interest in Web3-related topics. The basic setup involves gathering over a meal for a duration of at least two weeks.

Select a convenient time and location that suits everyone's schedule, ensuring you reserve a table at a cozy breakfast venue. Share these details with all interested parties through social media or platforms like **[lu.ma](https://lu.ma/)**, **[meetup](https://www.meetup.com/)**, and **[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/)** to attract participants.

The key objective is to establish a consistent meeting point so that people are aware of when and where the gatherings take place. By doing so, you create a reliable and inviting environment for ongoing engagement and collaboration.

### **Step 3: Try it after cooking**

We believe that the organizers of TON breakfasts deserve recognition for their efforts. That's why we've created a reward system. Organizers receive NFT achievements for each breakfast organized. With every fifth achievement, the organizer moves to the next level and receives merch. 

The levels are:

- 5 NFTs scored — Junior Chef (a baseball cap)
- 10 NFTs scored — Station Chef (a t-shirt)
- 15 NFTs scored — Head Chef (long sleeve)
- 20 NFTs scored — Executive Chef (hoodie)

Also, each breakfast and organizer will be reflected on [the ton.org](http://ton.org) webpage and in TON Community after 2-3 hosted breakfasts (as proof of quality and constant frequency).
