0.1 TON lotteries? Better than swapu!
How annoying are these Telegram giveaways... All channels only write about them: endless lotteries with 0.1 TON entry hoping to pay it off and dozens of reminders about it every day. Honestly, I'm already tired of it, how about you?
Others, on the contrary, draw expensive prizes. Here's Fintopio, for example - they have a contest with $6000 worth of gifts just for swaps within the app. The odds there are obviously higher than in a lottery with 1 TON donation among 7000 participants 😁
I poked around the app a bit - apparently there are not many participants yet, and swaps can be done crosschain, either in Ethereum or Solana.
In short, I'm bored with the giveaways, but if I'm going to participate, at least in places where I can actually win.

🤡 TOP business.
I could write that the MemHash listing failed, but where do I go against Pavel Durov, who is so proud of his comrades' project? I'll write better about how it took place.
Distribute tokens before listing on the TON blockchain is used to several ways: give out to centralized exchanges, to Wallet or to brand the onchain to Wallet.
While the first two options are straightforward, the third has several implementation options:
- The user brand their own tokens (pays a commission)
- Tokens are distributed by drop directly to users' wallets (pays the project)
- Mintless-contract - the token is immediately available to users (example Hamster Kombat). In this case, the project pays too, but much less than in the first two variants.
But MemHash, being associated with The Open Platform (TOP), now does as they are told. Instead of using the standard token type that TON Core developed specifically for such large projects, they came up with and implemented their AirDrop in Tonconsole (the comments under the post are funny of course 😂).
To the question "why?" - the answer is in the screenshot, "business wise it wasn't a good fit". After making millions of dollars, they are miserable to pay less than a thousand so that users don't waste their time and money branding tokens. Instead of using the TON Core solution, they introduce an additional scheme to make money from the branding - in the spirit of their "business".
TORO business: shave down to the last nanotone. There's DWF for everything else 🙂 It's easier to play Whale - there's 20% cashback on weekends, but here it's 100% loss of funds... They say donators didn't even get to zero....

Steve Yun at Consensus
While everyone is discussing the size of Inal and Steve's bananas, I recommend listening to Steve's full speech.
It turned out that during Steve's speech all the TON guys were gathered at the hackathon - as if they didn't want "their own" to hear his speech.
Although his speech lasted only 10 minutes, Steve managed to outline all the main "viral" mechanics that exist in Telegram. In particular, he mentioned bananas in stories 😁
The main idea I got from his words: the most valuable thing in Telegram is people and communities. People learn about cryptocurrency when someone tells them about it. And if everyone talks about TON and teaches others how to use DeFi tools, TON has a good chance of becoming really great.

Why do you buy presents? So you can give them to me? And I didn't take them anywhere and Durov was just happy about the net profit?
I already have 148 gifts given to me by users. Did I buy the gifts myself? Yes, four, and I gave them all to them. I don't give gifts to anyone else because they are used later. Have I sold any gifts that were given to me? No.
Personally, I don't understand all this fuss about gifts. I think Durov just realized that he can make money easily, so he releases them over and over again, fueling FOMO.
Apparently, Rogozov and his TOP company failed to show decent financial results, and Telegram decided to follow the usual VK scheme. First came Stars (votes), then gifts, and then stickers. Everything goes the same way... Even the video platform, which is now being actively promoted in VKontakte, appears in Telegram.
No innovations, no DeFi - all according to the principles of Web2 for Telegram's profit.

😲 Drowning in TON? Turn off the panic - turn on TWAP and watch everything do itself!
The TON token market feels like it's at the bottom right now, and it's unclear whether to sell everything and wait for a second bottom or to buy. If to buy, at what price?
With this thought in mind, I watched the actions of two people:
1. Twitter Girl. She buys a TON of $5 dollars every day and posts a tweet about how much she bought.
2. Many people have known for a long time that in the KINGY Elite 25+ chat room we keep an eye out for interesting wallets. And one such wallet has been selling $DUST in batches of 100-300 for almost two weeks. He made over 100 transactions to end up selling 40,000 DUST.
Watching them, the idea to automate this process came up - that's how the TWAPs project came about.
What is it? TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) is an algorithmic order execution strategy that divides a large trade into equal parts and executes them at equal time intervals. The goal is to get the average price for a certain period.
Now you don't have to agonize with minutely, hourly, weekly or even monthly transactions. You just need to go to https://twaps.tonde.fi, set the necessary parameters, enter gas for all swaps (we take it with reserve, but the unspent will be returned to you), and start the task.
This way, you can smoothly pamp the token or you can sell it with minimal impact on the stack. Everything that would have been done manually before can now be automated.
Plus, this can be used for marketing purposes. For example, if Sasha had placed an order to buy out $PX, everyone would have seen its execution in real time. But now he buys from some wallets, and nothing is clear. And swaps would go through swap.coffee, which would save on arbitrage as well. You can tell him 😁
Everything works on smart contracts and only you have access to the funds. You can withdraw funds from the order contract at any time.
We've also added a referral program: 20% of the service commission (which is only 0.5% - 4 times less than buying stars through Pescar's service). You can share your link and get bonuses for referred traders.
In general, use it. It's a beta version for now, so if you find bugs in the design, write in the comments. I'm not worried about the smart contract - it's bulletproof, but if you find a vulnerability, write to me and I'll give you a bonus 🎉

👣 Who doesn't change his mind stinks?
Reading various chat rooms, I'm starting to notice that Pavel Durov's words don't mean anything to many people anymore. He has changed his mind so many times and made contradictory promises that it's hard to count all the cases.
It all started with Telegram, its advertising and Premium subscription - something that Durov said would "never happen." Nevertheless, both advertising and paid features did appear, as the resource hate.tg 😁 😁 recalled
Next, the story with TON. Here, too, it was not without unfulfilled promises. At first, Pavel said that Telegram would create DeFi products based on TON (wallet, DEX), but it never happened.
Later, from the stage at the Token2049 conference, he announced the future appearance of NFT-stickers, but they still haven't come out either. Instead, there were gifts, where Paul again failed to keep his promise. The original plan was to charge a fixed 25 stars per NFT gift minte on the TON blockchain, but that amount ended up becoming a percentage of the gift price, which many felt was unfair. This looks like an unpredictable "rules on the fly" strategy, and how they were released with bugs and errors makes you wonder about the overall concept as well. 💩
Many now fear that the claims of anonymous numbers will also turn out to be empty words. Durov promised that there would be no more such numbers in the new mint, but there is less and less faith in this. And the very idea of anonymity has been shaken after the appearance of KYC on Fragment. After all, it directly contradicts the principle of privacy that he has always adhered to.
😠 If Pavel Durov continues to move towards increased monetization, it could significantly damage the reputation of Telegram and TON, as well as scare away loyal users who are used to seeing the messenger and blockchain as an independent alternative to large technology corporations like Apple and Google.

😠 TON without doping
All initiatives and incentive programs launched by TON Foundation are over. Now the TON ecosystem is developing on its own.
There are no more TON/USDT pool boosts, lending bonuses, grants, memelands and even open league.
It seems as if the TON Foundation has run out of funds for such initiatives and has now gone into economy mode. Why waste resources when the head of Telegram is imprisoned in one country and TON's unlocks occur almost every week for millions of tokens?
It looks like the bear market has begun: yields on USDT have fallen to 1-2% p.a., and on TON to 3-4%. It's a good time to start building new projects.

Ethereum and TON: where have all the users gone?
Reading Twitter, I caught myself thinking that Ethereum is very similar to TON right now. Ethereum recently had an update aimed at lowering commissions. In the comments under the tweets about this event, people write that commissions have dropped because there are almost no users left on the network.
There is no fan, no money, and no FOMO in Ethereum right now. Solana has taken all the attention. People choose a "tinker" with emotion, drive and a lively community over fundamental DeFi. Besides, Ethereum is already inferior to other blockchains in terms of DeFi.
The situation is similar in TON. It too has stopped lagging, and transactions have gotten faster because users are leaving. According to Dune, there are almost no new users coming to the TON blockchain, and 95% of those who were there in July have already left. And here we are - the remaining 5% - sitting around wondering what to do next, hoping for helicopter money from the TON Foundation.
And even the news of integration with LayerZero and the creation of TON Teleport (tgBTC) doesn't seem to be helping to get out of this hole, but rather encouraging the remaining users to disperse to other blockchains.
Or will that ever change!!!

🤡 Blum and the 'fake bank'.
How annoying is this fake FPI bank token already..... I'm almost 100% sure it's promoted and funded by Blum himself.
The main problem, is that Blum has no successful tokens and they are solving it this way. Yes, there was one token that had volumes in the millions per day, and supposedly Hamaha won a "lamba" (yeah, where is it?), but that's it. The Blum project does not shine in the infopole in any way, because people do not earn money to write about it. They only lose on one-day tokens.
Blum needs to attract users to the platform so that they trade and the platform earns on commissions, the old ones leave after the phrase "your old tokens are not important now".
And so first they bought advertisements in all the popular Telegram publicks: say, a guy on Blum launched a fake bank token, look how popular it is - he earned tens of millions of rubles. Then they themselves dump this token from their wallets and drain it when serious purchases begin. The market maker (MM) is good, nothing to say, but all this is a premeditated action. If you look at the trading wallets, you can see that all the tokens were bought back in January, and small parts go into the market and then to the exchanges (example). The hype has gone, we can sell, and then we will fall and drive the price up again to cause more FOMO. A classic!
Vladimir Smerkis then hosts a stream with the token founder right on the platform, showing "Look, we have streams too!" This is also essentially an advertisement for the platform itself.
The guy is lucky, he has a good, young audience that just came to TON and doesn't know much about anything other than Blum. But they will soon 🐷
Anyway, personally I think this whole token is just an advertising campaign by Blum from the beginning until now. Well or I'm a pessimist and don't believe in such a success story in the current market a TON.

⌨️ Telegram takes back control of the blockchain
Three months ago, I wrote a post about how large nominator pools have started to disadvantage smaller players who can't afford to contribute millions of TON. This is happening because the number of validators is strictly limited by network settings - there can't be more than 400 (maybe it's just that TON Core doesn't want to). Back in November the 400th position could be taken with 414K TON, but now the minimum amount to get into the validation cycle is already 500K TON. You can check it at tonscan.org/validators, scrolling down the list to the very end.
This happened because since December 20, the number of large "millionth" validators belonging to the Telegram team has increased dramatically 🤟
Back in December, in the private chat of KINGY Elite 25+, we discussed how Not Pixel would be able to buy back its token, if you need 400,000 TON or more to launch a validator and the revenues are pennies. You can't even pay off the $PX token drawdown in a year, let alone support the infrastructure. And so in the same week Telegram "hustled" and started throwing its millions of TON into nominee pool contracts. Since we in that chat follow all the wallets associated with the team, everything immediately fell into place.
Here's how it went down.
- On June 20, the Telegram wallet transferred 15.5M TON to the *PZRW1 wallet, and on July 2, it split it into two wallets - *vkBYS2 and *Xk40q-J.
- On September 10, it was replenished again by 3.7M TON, and on September 19, these funds were again distributed between the same wallets.
- In December, these wallets "wake up" and transfer all TON to two other wallets - *hD1Cg and *jaAdIx. They start creating nominator-pools (10K TON transactions) and then "throw" millions of TON there to get on the list of 400 validators. Usually, Telegram validators are not active in voting, but just get income from TONs pre-maintained in 2021.
If I counted correctly, January added 25 "millionth" validators from Telegram. Two years earlier, White Rabbit and I already did an investigation about validators and concluded that TON Foundation and Telegram own 66% of validators, now the percentage is even higher.
Most likely, this is done for convenient and fast blockchain updates (as Anatoly Makosov mentioned earlier), but on the other hand, it gives them the ability to make decisions alone: freezing wallets, as they already did, changing network commissions and more, without asking any of the private validators.
TON again confirmed the fact of its centralized management, and it's hardly possible to influence it: it's hard to imagine someone putting 500K TON (about $2.5M) for one validator (and you need more than one), just for the sake of fighting for decentralization 👋
Or maybe it's a new way to sell TON OTC, because earlier Pavel Durov wrote that Telegram will sell TON at a discount, and here he is selling not only TON, but also a business that brings almost 5% annual income.
Looks like TON has finally turned into a "manual" blockchain for Telegram's earnings 🎁

$KINGY: DEX DeDust.io, STON.fi, Swap.Coffee and xRocket.
Three months ago, I wrote a post about how large nominator pools have started to disadvantage smaller players who can't afford to contribute millions of TON. This is happening because the number of validators is strictly limited by network settings - there can't be more than 400 (maybe it's just that TON Core doesn't want to). Back in November the 400th position could be taken with 414K TON, but now the minimum amount to get into the validation cycle is already 500K TON. You can check it at tonscan.org/validators, scrolling down the list to the very end.
This happened because since December 20, the number of large "millionth" validators belonging to the Telegram team has increased dramatically 🤟
Back in December, in the private chat of KINGY Elite 25+, we discussed how Not Pixel would be able to buy back its token, if you need 400,000 TON or more to launch a validator and the revenues are pennies. You can't even pay off the $PX token drawdown in a year, let alone support the infrastructure. And so in the same week Telegram "hustled" and started throwing its millions of TON into nominee pool contracts. Since we in that chat follow all the wallets associated with the team, everything immediately fell into place.
Here's how it went down.
- On June 20, the Telegram wallet transferred 15.5M TON to the *PZRW1 wallet, and on July 2, it split it into two wallets - *vkBYS2 and *Xk40q-J.
- On September 10, it was replenished again by 3.7M TON, and on September 19, these funds were again distributed between the same wallets.
- In December, these wallets "wake up" and transfer all TON to two other wallets - *hD1Cg and *jaAdIx. They start creating nominator-pools (10K TON transactions) and then "throw" millions of TON there to get on the list of 400 validators. Usually, Telegram validators are not active in voting, but just get income from TONs pre-maintained in 2021.
If I counted correctly, January added 25 "millionth" validators from Telegram. Two years earlier, White Rabbit and I already did an investigation about validators and concluded that TON Foundation and Telegram own 66% of validators, now the percentage is even higher.
Most likely, this is done for convenient and fast blockchain updates (as Anatoly Makosov mentioned earlier), but on the other hand, it gives them the ability to make decisions alone: freezing wallets, as they already did, changing network commissions and more, without asking any of the private validators.

❤️ TON vs Solana: where there is money, there is heart
The author of the channel "Blowing on the chart" asked me why I have a considerable amount of money in Evaa, as the yield there is not the most interesting.
He gave an example: if you go to DefiLama and choose, for example, any steable/stable pair on Raydium, you can get a higher APR, and even in the long term the yield will be higher than in Evaa. And that's just the first example he found - the robust protocols of other networks have APRs exactly higher than in the TON ecosystem.
At first I answered him that I'm a TON-influencer - how will I look in front of my audience if 80% of my deposit ends up in the same Solana?
He objected that I am not a philanthropist to sacrifice profitability just because I love TON.
Then I gave him an analogy: with this approach you can say, why do projects in TON if Solana has more people and money?
And when he started asking new questions - "Why carry money where it is less profitable? What is the sacrifice for? Would you buy the same products at a more expensive store just because it's 'native'?" - he came up with the point I wanted to make.
If you want to support the "hometown store", you will buy there, even if it's more expensive.
Here I am, with my own means and sacrifices, supporting the TVL ecosystem, supporting tokens and projects. Even though I'm a hater, I'm grateful to TON and the whole ecosystem.

Is Disintar alive? Of course it is!!!
Most of you probably know the Disintar team from their NFT Marketplace, which never came out of beta. Newbies probably haven't even heard 😁
Anyway, the team is alive and continuing their work. They created a blockchain indexer that works as fast as possible, and now they are developing analytics and interesting projects based on it.
The coolest one is @dassets_bot, which shows all your TON blockchain assets. Whereas on DeDust.io you only see a fraction, here it shows all the existing protocols. There are steakings, liquid steakings, tokens, lendings, LP tokens and lokas - in short, everything-in-everything.
Plus, all of these assets have a price, so your portfolio is valued in dollars as accurately as possible. To filter out "shieldcoins", liquidity on DEX should be over $100 - only then the bot will pull up the price.
If you are a sibyl or multiacker and you don't remember where what lies, there is a "worxpace" functionality - you can separately track all your wallets, see their total balance and assets. They add new protocols almost every week, and publish it in their channel @dton_assets.
I've integrated their calculations into the apps too. You can already see WP price in @kingygmbot, and soon you will be able to see the value of your assets in the new DeFi project 🤫
Respect to the guys - good work they are doing. Thanks to the bot I found a couple hundred watermelons in my "winter jacket" 🧠

🐳 Whale has floated away from Telegram
Everyone probably saw that they recently blocked all gambling bots for breaking the rules, specifically for not making TON a blockchain exclusive. I thought this wouldn't affect Whale since they invested in TON and bought it via OTC on Telegram to the tune of several million dollars, but alas, I was wrong.
Yesterday they published a post saying that they are leaving Telegram of their own volition and will only remain in the web version and Android app. That said, the announcement hints at a breach of user privacy by Telegram 🙂 Deposits and withdrawals still work, so all funds are safe, and basically nothing much has changed except the launch location.
Judging by the fact that the TGE of their token has been delayed and bot support on Telegram has been discontinued, we can assume that it's not on TON that they plan to list their token. Although the WOW clicker remains on Telegram and continues to grow its audience.
Today in the KINGY Elite 25+ chat I also saw a transaction of 400K TON from the OTC wallet towards Whale, which may indicate that their investment in TON is gradually decreasing.
I don't understand Paul at all. Even setting aside that it's gambling, influencing the exit of projects with millions of active users just because they don't want to make TON exclusive, and even bring millions into the ecosystem, seems like a very strange decision to me.
Looks like the ecosystem is going to be seriously "cleaned up" in 2025.

The calm is deceptive
There is a calm before the storm at TON right now. I truly believe it will be "fun" in the ecosystem as early as spring 🤫
The TON Foundation is currently holding many strategy session meetings to discuss plans for the year.
Yes, there are some reputational issues that feel like they're hard to fix for now, but once the positive movement starts, they'll be immediately forgotten about. For example, everyone forgot about Hamster Kombat when Major came along.
In crypto, as in life, everything is cyclical. So while there's a lull, you need to create, strategize and make plans 🤔

🔥 TON on fire: KYC, fleeing to Solana and new fights on the horizon
There are three major topics being discussed in TON right now that are coming up in almost all chat rooms. The most important one is theft in the TON ecosystem. All projects are just profiting from the community, and token prices are below the donation level. But today I want to talk about KYC and Solana.
Due to the restrictions imposed by Pavel Durov, projects have a clear desire to stay away from TON. After the announcement of the exclusive partnership between Telegram and TON, large projects began to think: why do they need TON at all? For example, PAWS, with 40 million users, even after receiving support from the TON Foundation, decided to leave for Solana. It was followed by FTW, TRMNL, and the list continues to grow. Many realize that there are few prospects in TON, and running tokens on Solana looks much more profitable.
However, there are other strategies. For example, @whale simply adapted to the new reality. They left TON, USDT (TON) and NOT available via Telegram Mini App, and moved the rest of the cryptocurrencies like Solana and BTC to whale.io. It's not exactly convenient, but it's quite a workable use case.
In addition, Whale decided to take action on KYC. They have a "battle pass" that gives freespins, rewards, participation in raffles, unique merch, cashback and other bonuses. However, it requires you to pass KYC, similar to what is used on Fragment. It's not entirely clear why this is necessary, but the bonuses are clearly eye-catching. At least there is more motivation to pass KYC here than there is to convert a gift to NFT 🎁 All other functionality is still available without KYC.
Another important point is that there is less and less time to make changes to mini-apps. Perhaps that's why projects like PAWS are rushing to listings. It is possible that we are in for some serious blocking and another scandal in the community.

I love it when apps teach people about crypto without investing.
The TonTrader team came up with a way to test the product and teach users how to trade cryptocurrency at the same time. You launch the TonTrader app, get 500 DOLLR and you can start trading right away. You don't need to connect your wallet or deposit funds - trading is available immediately.
You can test strategies, try your luck, do whatever you want. Shoulders, stop losses - everything is available for perfect training. You can get tokens for free every 8 hours, and if you have Blum tokens, send a screenshot to support and they will credit them to your balance (the promotion is limited).
The application works fast, the only disadvantage is that the charts are not too dynamic. But it doesn't interfere with trading. Try TonTrader for yourself!

⚡️ ByBit lost ETH, what if it was TON?
I got tired of reading news about $1.2B worth of lost ETH, so I decided to figure out what a hacker would do if they, for example, hacked into the TON Believers Fund smart contract and stole 1 billion TON.
Let's say users who monitor this wallet (like KINGY Elite chat) would immediately notice the hack and notify Anatoly Makosov and someone from TON Foundation. I think the first thing they would have done would have been to conduct a validator vote and freeze the addresses to which the funds were withdrawn. After all, we have this kind of web3 where you can freeze addresses for 5 years or even forever, right? 🙈
Considering that over 70% of validators belong to those connected and close to TON Core and TON Foundation, it would have taken at least 2-4 hours. In that time, the attacker would have had time to do something with the loot. But what exactly?
Distilling TON into USDT is not a good idea because the USDT smart contract allows for address blocking. However, in the first few hours, while things are being coordinated, it could be a workable option. The hacker would probably swap some of the funds into USDT, put them on bots like Send and xRocket, and then withdraw the "clean" USDT to other networks. However, the total amount of USDT in all such bots is about $2M, which corresponds to about 500K TON. There is also a risk of blocking: bots monitor large deposits and withdrawals (sometimes even coordinate them), and they have a chat with the TON Foundation, where 100% of the attacker's wallet would show up.
Further, as more and more bridges appear in TON, it might be possible to move some funds through them in the first hour. The liquidity of such bridges is about $10M each, and there are five of them now. Theoretically, it would be possible to withdraw up to $50M from TON through bridges, but this is not a fact.
The next step - TONs will surely fly to the exchanges. At first - without KYC, then - on those that have accounts for drops. But even here there is a high risk of blocking, because TON Foundation will surely notify the employees of exchanges. Perhaps a couple million dollars more can be withdrawn to exchanges, swapped and taken to other networks.
Next, most likely, the Tonnel mixer would be used. You can't put large amounts of money in there, but you can get some of it. An attacker loads TON, pampers the token $TONNEL, attracts users with high yields, and then withdraws "clean" TON. I think another $2-4M could be "cleared" this way.
What else can be done to avoid blockchain? You can raise 300 servers and become the main validator of the network, "dropping" Telegram, TON Core and TON Foundation from the list 😁 Then it will be difficult to vote for freezing. Taking TON out won't help, but preserving it will. You'd need 600M TON lying in escrow and still generate revenue. And it turns out that you actually take over the network and become the main decision maker.
With such a volume of TON you can also create pressure on the glass. For example, you open a TON short with maximum leverage on the exchanges and sell TON on DEX, making a net profit on the exchanges. Or vice versa, open a long on toxins like $MAJOR or $NOT and buy back those tokens for TON on DEX. Easy money, but still in small volumes due to low liquidity.
You could also buy out all tokens with liquidity over $200K, like $KINGY or $PX, and give the blockchain users a real show. The hacker would become the favorite of the whole ecosystem, "feed" many people, and no one would be very indignant that he stole those TONs ❤️.
So, let's assume that 5% of the stolen TONs could have been hidden in other networks, another 5% could have been used to "please and reward" TON users and the entire ecosystem, and 90% would have remained dead weight because it is difficult to get them out of the blockchain due to lack of liquidity. After all, the TVL of the entire ecosystem is only $176M 😔

Hello US or NOT? 🇺🇸
Today, the American exchange Kraken announced the listing of TON blockchain tokens: USDT, NOT and DOGS.
Judging by the volumes of native TON token on this exchange, they are even smaller than on our decentralized exchanges (DEX). So it is definitely not worth waiting for a pump of these tokens.
Besides, it is not clear why US residents should buy TON blockchain tokens, which they can't actually use anywhere. After all, if you carefully read the user agreements and rules for using projects on TON, almost everywhere there is a phrase: "prohibited for use by U.S. citizens and residents" (for example, in Earn or Evaa).
Entering the US market, in my opinion, should start with amending agreements and providing access to projects on TON, and then we can talk about listings. Or am I missing something?

Entering the US market, in my opinion, should start with amending agreements and providing access to projects on TON, and then we can talk about listings. Or am I missing something?

A great start to TWAPs!
Overnight we fixed 3 bugs in the design and one on the backend. It turned out that there are users who use W5 Beta version wallets 😁 Harsh people.
Thanks to your advice, we promptly added a slippage setting for swaps so we don't have to fight arbitrage bots. Try it yourself https://twaps.tonde.fi/
Overnight, 200 users joined us and opened 40 orders. Current TVL on order balances amounted to more than $20K - and this in just 9 hours.
We were also supported by Mr. Freeman, for which he got a special respect.
Let me remind you that this is only a small part of a big social DeFi project, which is already under development. To avoid spamming successes here, subscribe to the @socdefi channel and follow the news!

🎪 TON blockchain of the future or a circus with horses?
I read channels and chats, including developers, and realize that no one really knows where TON is going. There is no clear vector of development. Blockchain was supposed to be the foundation of a new internet that would unite all other blockchains, but instead everyone rushed to launch tokens/schmokens, tap on the phone screen and buy gifts for Stars to decorate Telegram.
TON Core criticizes projects for creating smart contracts in one shard, yet they themselves call it an innovation to create two tokens in one shard and demonstrate how they can be instantly swapped there as well. What's the point if it's not scalable? Or does every shard now have to have its own DEX?
Others complain that the blockchain doesn't expand to more than 16 shards. But it's not clear why it's needed at all, if there are no high-loaded projects, and there are few users.
And someone even makes EVM on TON - for whom? For Solidity developers? TVM is asynchronous, and they are trying to pull something on top of it with crutches. Even if they succeed, it won't be safe, because the code will still be compiled in Fift.
It feels like everyone is just studying the technology and doing nonsense. Only TON Core is working hard and posting a report. Are developers bored or are they busy creating their own projects?! Where are we going?

🙁 Telegram continues to tighten the screws
I'm certainly baffled by how much Pasha has changed since his arrest. He used to fight the monopoly of Apple and Google: every post in his channel was about how WhatsApp is shit, Apple are monopolists, and he is D'Artagnan.
Now he is becoming a monopolist himself. First he banned all blockchains from using Telegram's audience and made an exclusive partnership with TON. And now he is tightening the screws on buying stars through bots.
Many bots, thanks to services like Split.tg, have made buying stars as convenient as possible. You just write "+send 100 stars" in chat and voila, the stars are paid directly from the bot's balance for TON, without KYC.
Now such bots allegedly violate the rules of the App Store and Google Play, because they allow you to buy stars for crypto. Such bots will be blocked. Cryptobot has already removed all functionality related to stars. xRocket will remove it today. That's the end of the story.
I wonder if the web services will remain in the same mode, or will Pasha "kick their asses" too, and we will all have to go through KYC?
