⭐️Telegram Stars Refunds: A Crisis of Trust That Affects Everyone
Starting this year, the Telegram ecosystem has been facing a big issue: thousands of users losing their Stars and purchased gifts disappearing. Meanwhile, Stars are getting sold at suspiciously low prices - only to be refunded through the App Store and Google Play.
How the scheme works:
- A scammer sells Stars below market price
- The user spends them on gifts or in a Telegram Mini App
- Upon request from the Store, Telegram forcibly returns funds
- Everyone involved, except the scammer, loses money and assets
Developers also end up losing: their funds earned in Stars disappear, leading to a rapid erosion of trust in the Telegram Mini Apps ecosystem.
A case that sparked widespread discussion on FunPay marketplace reached its expected outcome yesterday. A massive number of Stars were sold there at half their normal price, leading to widespread refunds on users. Estimates suggest total losses amount to $50,000.
How to avoid losing your funds:
Use only trusted sources:
- Fragment: official marketplace
- @PremiumBot: Telegram’s official bot
- SplitTg: alternative solution without KYC, purchases go through Fragment
All three methods bypass the App Store and Google Play, making refunds impossible.
The proper way to buy Gifts:
- The ideal option: on-chain gifts. Buy Telegram Gifts via Fragment or Getgems. They are issued as NFTs on TON, stored in your wallet, and cannot be refunded.
- If you're willing to take the risk: Tonnel Marketplace is an option, but:
• Pay attention to gift numbers
• They should be scattered, not minted sequentially
• This indicates that gifts were minted by different users, not a single account for cashing out
• This reduces (but doesn’t eliminate) the risk of refunds
This situation is a prime example of why blockchains are needed. When you own an asset on the blockchain, refunds, bugs, or third-party decisions cannot affect you.
NFT ≠ not a JPEG. Telegram Stars ≠ not just a messenger "perk". They are digital assets, and should be treated as such. Buying Stars "on the cheap" doesn’t save you money - it puts you at risk of loss.
If we truly want to see the Telegram and TON ecosystems grow, we need conscious actions and protection mechanisms against such vulnerabilities.

🙂TON is now available on Blockchain.com
TON is now available in the Blockchain.com wallet - one of the oldest and most respected platforms in the crypto world. This new listing is also an important signal (not an investment one): the TON ecosystem is steadily gaining momentum on a global scale.
Now users around the world, including the US, can buy, sell, and exchange TON directly through Blockchain.com. This encourages entry into the ecosystem, especially for those who haven't interacted with Telegram Mini Apps or Wallet before. All of these things are now just a few clicks away, with no strings attached or third-party wallets.
Entering the US market is one of the most important milestones for our ecosystem. This region has the most active user base and some of the strictest regulations.
Overcoming this barrier shows maturity and trust from the industry. Trust is quite important: Blockchain.com, as a pioneer of the crypto industry, doesn’t take on partners lightly. Supporting TON means acknowledging its technological strength and potential.
Looking at projects like Solana or Avalanche, we notice that their growth would have been impossible without support from major platforms like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and others.
Infrastructure support is the key to expansion. TON is following the same path, but with a unique advantage: it is integrated with Telegram - a messenger with a billion active users. This gives it favorable conditions to spread naturally, not only through exchanges but also through real-life everyday usage.
Listing on Blockchain.com is just the beginning of a new wave of integrations and partnerships. The easier users enter the ecosystem, the faster it will grow. And considering the already established Telegram Mini Apps, GameFi, SocialFi, and DeFi, we can expect explosive growth in the next 1–2 years.
Crypto is moving fast. TON is moving even faster 😎

⚙️TON Core - Accelerator Upgrade
Recently, Telegram, in collaboration with TON Core, held a large-scale Blockchain Contest, where developers competed in optimizing blockchain validation and creating a Trustless Bridge.
The main goal of the contest was to push TON network forward. The best optimization solutions were integrated into the main network, helping to improve the performance and scalability of the ecosystem.
After the contest, the TON Core team introduced the Accelerator update, increasing network’s throughput to a record 100,000 TPS (transactions per second) and stabilizing block time. Now, the technology is being integrated into the main network, with the next goal being to reduce End-to-End latency, improving transaction response time.
Alongside Accelerator, TON Core is actively developing TONTVM Sidechains - parallel blockchains that run on the TON virtual machine.
Sidechains will:
- Reduce the load on the main network, increasing its scalability
- Create custom solutions for unique project requirements
- Maintain compatibility with existing TON tools
Developers can launch their own sidechains, experiment with new solutions, and take advantage of the TON ecosystem. The ability to integrate the best solutions from the contest creates a unique environment for project growth and development.
For more details on TONTVM Sidechains, check out the official overview and the TON Core developer repository.

🥇Not helpful?
Notcoin has been a real breakthrough for the TON and Telegram ecosystem. This clicker not only attracted a massive audience but also gave it an incredible boost - and not a single dollar on marketing was spent.
This unique case demonstrated the strength of an enthusiastic community. Of course, let's not forget TON Foundation's role bringing the project into the spotlight.
Invigorated by such success, the Notcoin team introduced Not Pixel. Though ambitious, this idea did not meet the community’s expectations. The product failed to bring real value to the ecosystem and, according to users, did not justify its time and resource investment.
Next was the Sticker Store, launched after Pavel Durov announced NFT stickers for Telegram at TOKEN2049. The concept seemed interesting, but its execution was dubious: stickers of popular crypto projects turned out to be just digital images with no real value or use. The bot turned out to be unstable, and overall, the idea failed to gain widespread popularity.
Meanwhile, Mr. Freeman, creator of Telegram’s gift marketplace, announced a “stupidity tax” on NFT sticker buyers and accused several projects of misusing TON’s resources. In his opinion, instead of developing useful services, the ecosystem wastes its efforts on rather speculative projects.
Tonnel Network also got some criticism. Alexander shared in his stories how he was banned from the project’s chat for expressing his opinion about the $virus and $tonnel tokens, casting doubts on the community’s claimed independence and openness.
Also, Not founder warned that Tonnel Network is centralized, where conditions can change, putting users at risk of losing access to their assets. He compared it to a “hostage business model” and reminded everyone of the key rule: “Not your keys, not your gifts,” advising users to store their assets in personal wallets and use truly decentralized tools.
Alexander has been making some rather sharp remarks lately. When Anon accused him of scamming using Not Pixel, saying in a private chat: “You’re really good at stealing our money, congratulations,” he responded with a joke instead of a constructive answer: “Yes, and I’ll meet your mom after my morning coffee.” This isn’t the first instance - at first, he was “taking other people’s moms to the movies,” and now he just outright dismisses those who ask uncomfortable questions.
Whose side are you on?

🛍NFT Stickers in Telegram: A New Stage for the TON Ecosystem?
Last April, at TOKEN2049, Pavel Durov announced the arrival of NFT-based stickers and emojis, where 95% of sales revenue will go to their creators. Since then, Telegram has been steadily moving toward this launch, where the Sticker Store will play a key element of this strategy.
While Telegram gifts were getting most of the hype, thanks to the success of Mr. Freeman's format, the Sticker Store is busy developing its own infrastructure. In the coming days, we expect to see a new NFT marketplace, where users will trade and transfer collectible stickers based on NFT mechanics.
As per the Dune dashboard:
- Total sticker sales: $6.2 million
- Released: 124 packs from 15 collections
- Top collections by volume: Pudgy Penguins ($1.91M) and Bored Stickers ($1.48M)
- Telegram Stars accounted for over 70% of purchases, with the rest in TON, USDT, PX, and NOT
Upcoming features from Telegram devs:
- Transfer of stickers between users
- A marketplace for trading and exchanging stickers
- Rarity attributes for some collections
From the beginning, stickers were functional by nature: the played a role in daily communication, personalization, and Telegram’s cultural identity. Unlike gifts, which required user engagement, stickers are already embedded in their behavior. NFT features will add liquidity and ownership rights, allowing users to own what they use to express themselves.
Could the Sticker Store become a bridge into Web3 for millions of users who have never interacted with crypto before?
Telegram is not chasing hype. It is quietly building an ecosystem based on familiar actions: gifts, stickers, and customization. This builds towards a shift to a new digital economy embedded in everyday communication within the legendary messenger.
Use cases, in-game integrations, rarity, and utility - all of this is shaping the future market, which is already knocking on Telegram’s door. The launch of NFT functionalities for stickers, rather than just another feature - could be the start of a new chapter in the evolution of Telegram.

⚖️How Competitors Are Bringing Users to Telegram and TON
Pavel Durov recently returned from France, and Telegram officially became a social media giant, with over 1 billion monthly active users. People open the messenger an average of 21 times per day, spending a total of 41 minutes in the app. The company itself has become profitable, recording $547 million in revenue in 2024.
Last year, Telegram launched Gateway - a tool that allows services to send verification codes to users via @VerificationCodes instead of expensive and unreliable SMS. As a result, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Coinbase, TikTok, PSN, and even Tinder 🥹 have started using Telegram for user verification.
Turns out, the very same giants that spent years trying to hinder Telegram's growth (by banning links, blocking channels, and even lobbying against the messenger) are now leading their own audience into Durov’s ecosystem.
All because Telegram Gateway is simply cheaper. Sending a verification code costs $0.01, whereas SMS can cost up to $0.50 - not to mention potential delays and failures.
Now, here is a question:
If users are already receiving their verification codes in Telegram, could they stay in the ecosystem and continue enjoying it?
The answer is simple:
When users regularly open Telegram for notifications and verification codes, they get used to it. Some start messaging, others discover channels, and some try out bots and mini-apps.
Then, we get naturally: Mini Apps → Payments → TON
Since TON is Telegram’s native blockchain, it naturally attracts new users who explore the ecosystem’s possibilities. They create crypto wallets, try P2P exchanges, join gaming projects, and use decentralized services - all within a familiar environment.
The Ironic Reality:
- Telegram gains new users thanks to its convenience and low costs
- TON gains new users due to Telegram integration
- Competitors pay Telegram to introduce their audience to its ecosystem
Now, if Telegram has become the most convenient tool for verification, what’s stopping it from becoming the standard for subscriptions, logins, and transactions?
WhatsApp has spent years trying to catch up with Telegram but remains a "watered-down copy" of it. Their recent attempts to introduce payments and bot platforms feel like a rushed response to what Telegram has already perfected. The same goes for LINE, KakaoTalk, and other messengers trying to copy Telegram’s model (blockchain + mini apps).
Now imagine what happens when millions of users fully explore TON’s blockchain, decentralized apps, and the ability to earn money directly within Telegram. Meanwhile, as competitors pay for Telegram’s convenience, it simply keeps moving forward, building a platform where everything—from communication to finance—is in one place.
In a few years, we might look back and laugh at how Facebook, Google, and Amazon unintentionally helped build the world’s largest crypto ecosystem.

🤑NFT Gifts Now on Fragment!
The Gifts section on Fragment is now live, unlocking new opportunities for trading NFTs on Telegram. The platform comes equipped with all the features for easy selection and purchase of virtual gifts.
Users can browse a wide array of gifts and filter them by models, icons, and backgrounds - all with clear visuals, making it easier to find the perfect item.
The gift selection includes popular collectibles and unique offerings, such as the stylish Durov’s Caps, quirky Plush Pepe, and vibrant Perfume Bottles.
Unlike Fragment, the marketplace by Mr. Freeman does not require KYC verification or a 14–21 day wait after upgrading a gift. This makes it especially convenient for those who value speed, anonymity (if you believe in it), and simplicity.
However, the downside is that sellers can initiate a refund (in stars) after receiving TON, potentially leaving buyers without both their tokens and the gift.

🥳TON Ecosystem Expands Beyond TOP and the Monopoly of Large Projects
For a long time, the TON ecosystem revolved around a limited circle of major projects. However, new solutions from emerging players are now challenging the dominance of TOP and other big shots, offering alternative products with more flexible and efficient approaches.
🔘STON.fi → DeDust: nothing more to add, you already know the story
🔘Tonstakers → KTON: Though Tonstakers was a key staking platform for a long time, KTON introduces a modernized solution, making stake earnings more transparent and flexible
🔘EVAA Protocol → Factorial Finance: While EVAA Protocol offers traditional DeFi solutions, Factorial Finance introduces modular lending, creating a new model for liquidity and risk management
🔘Getgems → Tonnel Network ? (Mr.Freeman): An independent developer managed to build a faster and more popular solution than the entire large team at Getgems. Tonnel Network by Mr.Freeman has become a popular alternative for gift purchases, proving that even a solo developer can outcompete major structures.
🔘Blum → Memes Lab: Whereas Blum positions itself as the most prominent meme launchpad in the ecosystem, Memes Lab enters the scene with a different approach - integrating Telegram Stars and SocialFi mechanics, merging meme coins and community engagement.
The TON ecosystem is becoming more open and competitive. Developers and users are no longer dependent on a few monopolies; they can now choose solutions that truly work more effectively.

The TON ecosystem is becoming more open and competitive. Developers and users are no longer dependent on a few monopolies; they can now choose solutions that truly work more effectively.

🚨Did Pavel Durov Leave France?
Rumors are circulating online that Telegram founder Pavel Durov has received permission from the courts and left for Dubai. AFP were the first to report this, and later, screenshots of articles with the headline "Pavel Durov Allowed to Leave France" started showing up.
A close friend of Durov confirmed his departure to Dubai, and Telegram's head of design also highlighted this on his channel.
Another source has said that an investigating judge allowed him to leave France for a few weeks.
As a reminder, in August 2024, Durov was detained at Le Bourget Airport (France). He was later released on bail of €5 million but was required to check in with the police twice a week and was prohibited from leaving the country.
What do you think: could Durov have really left France? 🤔

💎TON is now available on Bitso!
Starting today, Bitso users can buy, sell, and use TON, as announced by their devs on X (Twitter).
Bitso is Mexico's first cryptocurrency exchange, founded in 2014.
It was a pioneer in letting users exchange fiat money for cryptocurrency in Mexican pesos, drastically expanding the local crypto market.
Users can easily buy and sell TON through a convenient mobile app or the web version of the exchange, making cryptocurrency transactions much simpler.
And while this is just an entry into the Latin American market, as they say, taking the first step is already half the battle.

🤔Is NFT Meta in TON Predictably Making a Comeback?
Cyclicality is part of any market, whether it’s fashion, cryptocurrency, or trends in blockchain ecosystems. Let’s recall the 2021/ 2022 period when the trend for NFTs in TON was just emerging. After TON mining ended, NFT collections enjoyed tremendous activity.
The first sales took place through pre-sale bots. Data was recorded in Excel spreadsheets before the appearance of smart contracts. The userbase grew rapidly: it started off with a few collections, then dozens emerged every week. NFTs gave TON a new wave of life, and now a similar process has started but on a larger scale.
The Telegram team has essentially created a ready-made NFT model with deep integration into the messenger ecosystem. Personalized collections, flexible theme selections, and global recognition make gifts the new standard for digital collectible assets.
But the key feature is emission control. If the issuance of gifts were limited, they would become exclusive assets, much like anonymous numbers. Currently, the market is still developing, and the flexible emission mechanics give it depth: there’s a need for both affordable gifts and exclusive collections with high entry barriers.
Unlike hyped NFT memes that skyrocket and then fade into oblivion, Telegram gifts have real utility. They are embedded in the messenger, supported by its infrastructure, and provide users with personalization mechanisms.
Let’s Look at the Numbers:
- Total trading volume of gifts in TON has already exceeded $29 million (~7.48M TON)
- Over 75,000 unique wallets have traded gifts
Top 3 Marketplaces by Sales Volume:
- TONNEL Marketplace (offchain): $20.6M (~5.58M TON), accounting for 71.2% of the total gift market
- OTC ELF (offchain): $4.56M (~913K TON)
- GetGems (onchain): **$1.79M (~491K TON)
→ Check out the Telegram gift dashboards
Meanwhile, the Notcoin devs enabled purchasing custom stickers, creating a new commerce within Telegram. Over 10 custom collections featuring various sticker sets have already been released, including blue-chip NFTs such as Pudgy Penguins and Bored Stickers. The Sticker Store is not willing to lose its top position among Telegram's highest-grossing apps.
These collections already have a significant userbase and demand on other blockchains, and the Sticker Store in Telegram could become their next point of expansion. With the potential for audience migration to TON, the custom sticker market could attract not only Telegram users but also major NFT collectors.
The next step is creating a transfer mechanism, which includes launching new OTC marketplaces, with new liquid markets and more trading volumes in TON.
But the most exciting part is yet to come. Official support for NFT stickers in Telegram, which Pavel Durov announced a year ago at TOKEN2049, will create a fully integrated ecosystem market for digital collectible assets. This takes TON NFTs to a new level, towards mass adoption using organic demand.
Launching a collection doesn't just end there, now we have universal digital assets that:
- Are pre-integrated into Telegram
- Can be personalized
- Have a liquid secondary market
As the market continues to evolve, let's keep an eye on emissions, explore new mechanics, and find opportunities within the ecosystem - just like Mr. Freeman did.

🌎Believers.ton Has Been Irretrievably Lost
On July 25, 2023, we transferred the TON DNS believers.ton to the wallet address of TON Foundation. However, on July 26, 2024, TF did not renew the domain 😅, resulting in its permanent loss. It has since been acquired by a new owner, though it is still pointing to the correct contract.
🔗Links to the TON Believers Fund contract must be accessed through its direct address only.
Let's take a look at what TON Believers Fund is and what it does. It is a non-profit fund created by the TON community for the long-term development of its ecosystem. Its operations are secured by a smart contract developed by the TON Core team specifically for this purpose.
The contract allowed any TON holder to lock their tokens for 5 years:
- 2 years of full lock-up (until October 2025)
- 3 years of vesting (until October 2028)
The fund aimed to gather large projects and holders willing to support the TON ecosystem by reducing circulating supply and encouraging long-term growth.
Current Fund Statistics:
- Total balance: 1,317,379,088 TON (~$4.87 billion)
- Deposited into the fund: 1,033,647,045 TON
- Allocated to the reward pool: 283,731,850 TON
Key Dates:
- October 2, 2025: Start of the 3-year vesting period for TON Believers Fund
- October 2028: Full release of funds to contributors
We deeply appreciate everyone who supported this initiative and entrusted their assets to the TON Believers Fund. This achievement reflects the strength and long-term commitment of the TON community.

🛡TON becomes a Cross-Chain Node as LayerZero Launches its USDT Bridge
TON is asserting its status as a a key component in cross-chain infrastructure. The new bridge by LayerZero enables users to transfer USDT between Ethereum, Arbitrum, Tron, and TON. Transactions are executed via the Stargate Bridge, and the total amount of funds in the network has already reached 12 million USDT, although this was deposited in a single transaction.
TON is evolving into an infrastructure blockchain with high throughput, low fees, and built-in integration with Telegram. Now, it gained the status of a Layer Zero network - a fundamental layer for interacting with other blockchains.
▪️ LayerZero enables cross-chain interactions without the need for centralized bridges, reducing the risk of asset loss
▪️ The network gains access to liquidity from major blockchains, allowing TON projects to attract capital directly from Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Tron
▪️ Integration with LayerZero allows the development of cross-chain applications, connecting TON’s user base to other ecosystems
Previously, USDT could only be bought on TON through centralized exchanges. Now, tokens can be transferred directly from other networks, making them more accessible and convenient for use within TON.
The new cross-chain bridge brought an influx of liquidity, expanding the boundaries of TON ecosystem. Even though it had primarily developed autonomously, it is becoming part of the global crypto market, where users can freely move assets between networks.
This unlocks new use cases for USDT in TON:
▪️ Flexible payments within Telegram and Web3 applications
▪️ Profitable DeFi tools with minimal fees
▪️ Seamless capital movement between blockchains
The current volume of 12 million USDT is just the beginning 💪. As new services join and the platform gains support, TON is becoming a full-fledged part of the global digital market.
