⌨️ GM, cryptans! We are on Twitter
Many times I have already written that for all cryptans Twitter is more important than Telegram. Both members of TON Foundation and The Open Platform (TOP) will agree with this. Almost everyone has Twitter where they make announcements, communicate or publish news, but not everyone has a Telegram channel.
And many products realize that they are obliged to have Twitter - without it, foundations won't even look at you, even if you have afaked hyped up Telegram channel. What can I say, we can go by examples.
DeDust / xRocket are much more active on Twitter than Telegram. If the channels post once a month, then on Twitter - almost every day (or even 10 a day). Plus commenting on all the TON blockchain posts and all that.
The Fintopio team has made the functionality of sending crypto by username on Twitter. True, you still have to link your account and you can't send some TON to Trump, but steps are being taken anyway. ☺️
Inal (TON Ventures) seems to have started a channel in Telegram, wrote a couple of posts, made paid comments and, apparently, realized that it's not very fun to run it - now he just continues to run his Twitter.
Alyona (TON Foundation) also keeps Twitter every day and writes 5 times a day (or even more), and posts in Telegram channel once a month.
And so on...
The other day I saw a post in someone's channel with a question about what kind of transfers go from *G6hnU wallet to all Influencers, and it turned out that in February a program to support Twitter-TON-influencers was launched. TON Foundation monitors tweets, evaluates them with algorithms and awards points, and at the end of the month rewards those who popularize the TON ecosystem.
It seems that when we enter the US market, we will leave Telegram altogether. We will keep personal pages of projects and influencers, transfer funds via Fintopio and write each other GM every morning 🙂 Nice. Subscribe to me on Twitter.

In the past, the key words for Telegram were 'freedom' and 'security.' But looking at what's happening now, these words are losing their meaning. Deletions, blocks, freezes, rollbacks, bugs… And while TON may seem unrelated, it’s still affected. Telegram and Durov have a strong influence on TON—and not for the better.

😎TON, Blockchain Life and Timati - in one bottle
The market is wobbling from side to side, and everyone wants to discuss it in chats. But very soon there will be Blockchain Forum in Moscow, where you can discuss everything in person.
April 23-24, Moscow. For the first time in the last three years, the forum will be held in Russia - and unfortunately I'm not there 😞 I never thought it would be easier to fly to Dubai than to get to Moscow.
But you are the lucky ones: such a major forum close to home! Maybe finally there won't be miners there, but normal projects. There will be a lot of people from TON and a lot of speeches from TON representatives. Judging by the announcements, TON is the main blockchain of the event. Go and tell us about it later!
Tickets, as usual, are available at blockchain.forum, and the promo code Vudi is 10% off any ticket type. If you buy a Business and VIP ticket - Timati's concert at the AfterParty as a gift 😎

Jupiter: Promised movement—delivered silence.
Under the last post on this topic from March 11, Steve Yun wrote that they had begun judging. But now it’s already April—do you think anything is moving there? Of course not.
They say there’s zero activity in the Jupiter chat.
This kind of behavior characterizes almost everything the TON Foundation does. Last year, Open League rewards were distributed within two weeks, but this year, they’ve been dragging out a competition they announced to users at the Solana conference for two months already.
Years change, but the TON Foundation’s work doesn’t. 😴

Trade like an AI-guru
Refs are refs, but you still need to tell about the project. The guys from Storm Trade have launched a new product, which is, in fact, a gamechanger.
Upscale is AI-prop trading in Telegram. Pass a challenge, show that you know how to control risks - and get up to $100K USDT to manage, taking up to 80% of profits for yourself.
The main advantages of Upscale:
- Real deposits up to $100K
- Withdraw up to 80% of profit
- Commissions: 0.1% per trade and 0.05% of fundings
- No time limits
- Payment via Telegram Stars
- Support for all liquid cryptocurrencies (SOL, ETH, BTC, TON, BNB, etc.).
Getting started is simple:
1. Choose a deposit amount
2. Pass 2 stages (5-8% profit, no more than 10% drawdown)
3. You get access to the capital and start trading
Important:
- Profits can be withdrawn 21 days after the start - directly in $USDT to your TON wallet. I think this is due to the star returns.
- If you violate the loss limits, trading is suspended, but all profits remain yours. To get back in, you just go through the Challenge again.
The trading itself will start in April, but for now - access to the deposit with discounts. By the launch I will give out promo codes for $50K for subscribers of the channel. Let's see what will come out of it.

🍷 Hangover after the birthday
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying that withdrawals on Whale have stopped working. I reached out to support, and they told me that withdrawals have been temporarily disabled to clean up abusers who were collecting boxes for the birthday event. Once they deal with them, everything will be turned back on. Your funds are safe, and everything is working as usual.
While withdrawals are disabled, they are hosting two tournaments: one for eSports (CS, Dota 2, and LoL) and one for football/tennis. The total prize pool is $10,000.
To participate, go to Whale, click on the ball in the center of the screen, and scroll down to the tournament banner. There’s a slider to choose—you can participate in both tournaments, and entry is free.
As soon as withdrawals are enabled, I’ll let you know.

🚑 TONCO: beautiful on the chart, sad on the balance
While some people are sucking people in by referral, others are losing their funds. We will talk about TONCO.
Now many people are wondering: where TONCO has such volumes in TON/USDT pair, such liquidity and in general - where people come from, if TON is a complete "trading swamp" now? Take a look at Defillama - you can see the fat collapse on April 7, and it's not a bug.
One super-fat investor with $9M, seeing the high APR, brought a tidy sum to the exchange and poured liquidity in the range of 3.5-4.5. For several weeks he received good profits - large volumes were rolling, fat commissions were dripping. However, as you know, the TON exchange rate went down - and the investor was hit by a powerful impermanent loss (translated as temporary, but not always reversible losses).
Now he had a choice:
- accept the loss and pour liquidity into another range
- spread liquidity on a wide grid and wait for TON at 6-8 to at least reach zero
- or do nothing at all and hope for the price to return to the range of 3.6-4.5, but in current conditions it all looks very doubtful.
This liquidity provider was covering ~90% of the entire TVL in the TON/USDT pair on TONCO and...
...decided to lock in a loss. Minus $2M 😁 Before that, there was already a recorded IL of 173.5K TON, but now a new record. The investor continues to hold about $6.5M in TONCO in the TON/USDT pair and it seems that life has not taught him anything....
TONCO in general raises a lot of questions, from strange volumes to strange arbitrage with MEXC. There is a feeling that the exchange simply does not work in the active price range, and all the volumes rotate 1-3 addresses.
Yes, the referral program can give hope for future drops. But supplying liquidity is still dangerous. You either have to constantly watch it and move ranges, or be willing to lose on IL. Because TON is too volatile to relax.

⚰️ When silence speaks louder than words
TON's entry into the US market means that it is beginning to be used, integrated into other services, and talked about. We will omit the first two points, but let's talk more specifically about mentions in social networks and the media.
TON is being written about on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Telegram. But who writes? TON Foundation staff, TON Society, projects and influencers like me. No one else writes about TON.
The only time when Telegram was mentioned in some way by other celebrities was during the time of Pavel Durov's arrest in France. And even then, everyone wrote about freedom and the arrest itself, but not about Telegram, and even less about TON.
About the media, it's simple. TON Foundation, TON Society and The Open Platform (TOP) have agreements with major media outlets to promote announcements. And when something big happens, all of them, as one and the same, throw copycat articles. That is, no one writes about TON independently - only for a fee.
And so we get only a local infopole in Telegram and Twitter, in which we simmer, without attracting anyone new ✍️
TON has only one ambassador, who is somehow noticed by the world - Durov. But this Influencer is very weak. First, he very rarely writes posts, second, he more often writes about Telegram or something political, and third, he very rarely mentions TON.
In April of that year, when Durov was posting personal posts, throwing in pictures from his travels and writing about how his cell phone blew up, I almost believed he had decided to come out of the shadows. After his arrest, he released a couple posts about Yulia Vavilova and disappeared from the infopolis again. Now we learn about his movements and get pictures only from Yulia.
It turns out that no one but Durov himself can help TON to enter the American market. Not many people know Durov and Telegram in America, and then there's TON.
Why does Ilon Musk quote those who support his idea, mention those who write interesting tweets, discuss the tweets and write comments, while Durov has shut down and is silent? 😕
I've written to him on all three accounts (a new one every year) and haven't gotten any response from him other than looking at my storis. There are about 10 meaningful Influencers who are willing to write daily about TON for no money, for one idea, but alas, he doesn't communicate with anyone.
What to say about him: even TON Foundation doesn't communicate with anyone, doesn't support or promote its ecosystem influencers. There is no shared working group, no narrative to post, no information. They do everything quietly, and the Influencers need "food". They give information to the TON Society staff and they go write how wonderful TON is. But they are employees, they sit for a paycheck and their content is not as lively.
Because no one helps projects and Influencers, project authors start their own channels and start writing about TON and promoting their project (xRocket, swap.coffee and others).
And here we come to the fact that it's easy to write bad things about TON, because the "food" is right on the platter every day. Every day someone breaks something, someone cheats or robs someone. And the infofield of the technologically advanced, "billion-dollar" blockchain is turning into a simple pigsty that no one wants to go into.
No matter how much we Twittered in the hope of a bright future, one launch of the $PX token brought everything to zero, and even English-speaking players started writing that TON was a scam. And there are many times more negative cases in TON than positive ones.
So, I think we have no hope to enter the crypto infopole if TON Foundation continues to work like this. We clearly don't have an open internet, but a purely private network for the CIS community.

💻 Dreaming of Whale means money is coming!
Today, I dreamed that the Whale token launched—and it happened unexpectedly. I was sitting in a café, drinking coffee, when suddenly, a notification popped up: "You have received Whale tokens." I don’t remember the exact amount, but when I checked my wallet, the balance showed $900K—all in Whale tokens 😨
Of course, I immediately went to swap.coffee and tried to sell them. Thankfully, Whale didn’t skimp on liquidity—I managed to sell everything for $700K.
Five minutes later, I checked the chart, and the token was so successful that everyone wanted to buy it. My sale had already been scooped up. Crazy. I hope this dream is prophetic—after all, I’ve been farming the token since day one ☺️
By the way, you can get your first tokens just by following their social media. It’s not much, but definitely better than zero.
Oh, and in case you missed it—they’re currently running a $30K tournament. I know my followers always win these, so just a quick reminder. This time, even those who don’t win anything will still have a chance in giveaways. So go ahead, click the ball in the center, hit "I’m in," and wait for your prizes.
Meanwhile, I’ll be waiting for my $700K from Whale 🚑

Sniper fail
When the Piggie Game project launched, I was one of the first to get a referral link and start sharing it. Thanks to the five-level referral system, I earned a lot of coins without doing much.
This allowed me to win weekly contests and stay consistently at the top.
Yesterday, the opportunity to claim the project’s tokens opened up, and once again, I was lucky enough to be among the first. But there was a catch. When liquidity was added, many snipers bought up the token, and as soon as claiming went live, they all started dumping their positions.
I had no idea what was happening—I didn’t know who bought what or at what price. I saw that I had tokens, claimed them, and sold them with 100% slippage.
After that, a bunch of snipers who got rekt messaged me, asking me to return their lost TON. But I don’t get it—why did you even buy? 🤡 If you’re buying an unknown token, you should probably understand the risks. If you had made a profit, I doubt you’d be sharing it with those who bought after you.
In the end, Piggie fed me well—I made around $300 from contests and 793 TON from the tokens. To the snipers—my condolences, that’s the nature of your job. 🚑

🪄 Mutabor and TON in the US
Been thinking for two days about what to write. The chats have gone quiet, and the active ones are just sitting around waiting for a "life-changing" sticker update. How naive.
Anyway, it’s already March, and there’s still no major news from the TON Foundation. Manuel Stotz (TF) posted pics on Twitter with Andrey Rogozov (TOP) in New York, and yesterday Ilya Perekopsky (Telegram) checked in there too. What this trio is up to—no idea, but it looks like they're working on bringing TON and Telegram to the US market. After all, TON won’t succeed on its own if Telegram doesn’t have an American audience. They need symbiosis.
Things aren’t smooth at TON Foundation either. The budget still isn’t finalized, some programs supported last year have been cut, and no new payouts are happening. Hiring is slow—still no GameFi lead, and now they’re also looking for a Head of DevRel and DevRel CIS. I noticed the COO of TON Foundation removed their affiliation badge—guess they’re gone too 😞
In short, something shady’s going on. Everyone’s silent. No movement in this direction.
Meanwhile, projects are grinding: FIVA, Palette, Factorial, Fintopio, Hedge, xRocket, dton—all working toward big announcements. The question is: will users stick around without any real activity? Sasha and his tokens have already been written off—there’s even an investigation into how he’s dumping them. For now, Meta is the only one keeping everyone entertained and fed.

Been thinking for two days about what to write. The chats have gone quiet, and the active ones are just sitting around waiting for a "life-changing" sticker update. How naive.
Anyway, it’s already March, and there’s still no major news from the TON Foundation. Manuel Stotz (TF) posted pics on Twitter with Andrey Rogozov (TOP) in New York, and yesterday Ilya Perekopsky (Telegram) checked in there too. What this trio is up to—no idea, but it looks like they're working on bringing TON and Telegram to the US market. After all, TON won’t succeed on its own if Telegram doesn’t have an American audience. They need symbiosis.
Things aren’t smooth at TON Foundation either. The budget still isn’t finalized, some programs supported last year have been cut, and no new payouts are happening. Hiring is slow—still no GameFi lead, and now they’re also looking for a Head of DevRel and DevRel CIS. I noticed the COO of TON Foundation removed their affiliation badge—guess they’re gone too 😞
In short, something shady’s going on. Everyone’s silent. No movement in this direction.
Meanwhile, projects are grinding: FIVA, Palette, Factorial, Fintopio, Hedge, xRocket, dton—all working toward big announcements. The question is: will users stick around without any real activity? Sasha and his tokens have already been written off—there’s even an investigation into how he’s dumping them. For now, Meta is the only one keeping everyone entertained and fed.
We’re just sitting here, farting around.

🎨 TON of friends - TON of bonuses
I'll be brief: today is the start of the first part of a major project @Palette and to begin with I want to gather the big "whales" of the blockchain TON - thanks to you and, of course, the referral system.
Remember DOGS, where you were awarded points for friends who had been on Telegram for a long time? We have a similar story, only more dynamic and constantly updated, aimed at onchain activity. If your referral lost money on memes - points are reduced, if he earned - points are increased.
This is not the main goal of the project, but only the first stage to attract as many big players as possible to implement and test the functionality. Go to t.me/PaletteFinanceBot/palette, take the link and invite your friends "whales" 🍷 No need to pay anything, just connect your wallet.
A little later we will remove this mechanics, but your referrals will remain for the life of the project. And you, early users, we will definitely reward you for your labors.

The seedbed of greed has yielded a harvest 💰
Today is 21 days after the end of the first King of the star game, and here is the list of winners and the size of their prizes. The game lasted over 100 days, and some winners flew in just in the last week and claimed their prize.
Congratulations and your prizes (sent to you by @Kingofthestarbot) ❤️
Just to remind you, the project is non-commercial and I don't take any % - I just wanted to see how greed works in people.
Now Meta has made a remake of my game and it has become more popular - because there is a bank more than 380 TON 😁 So go to Meta Bank and farm the stars in a new way.

25 stars for air, or where’s the "transfer properly" button?
The sticker store finally launched—though not for long. At first, people were let in one by one, then the bot was shut down completely because it couldn’t handle the load. I won’t say anything about the price of sticker packs—I already said enough yesterday.
They spent over half a year building a sticker marketplace, and yet again, the release isn’t as smooth as it could’ve been… Why did Mr. Freeman’s launch go fine? Why is his marketplace thriving while others crash under the flood of users rushing to sell their stickers as fast as possible? 🍿
And they’re still not NFTs—just transfers of sticker packs between Telegram accounts. Technically, if you press "save sticker pack to yourself," it’s the same thing—just without paying 25 stars.
Funny how while Sasha can’t even implement a proper sticker pack transfer between Telegram accounts, @whale built a cross-chain bridge for their NFTs in a week.
And while Sasha charges 25 stars to change one field in a database, @whale covered all the fees for minting NFTs on another chain: burn on TON, receive on Solana (bridge link here).
By the way, judging by the mechanics, there’ll be a second reveal for NFTs sent to Solana.
Learn, Sasha, learn…

🍿 Stotz, Durov, and "Helicopter Money"
While everyone is buzzing about the TON price, let me tell you what’s really happening in TON, in my opinion.
In January 2025, Manuel Stotz took office as President of the TON Foundation. He heads Kingsway Capital and owns a significant amount of TON tokens.
At least a dozen people have told me that Stotz is an excellent leader with a strong team that he’s now bringing into TON. He has effectively been making key decisions in the TON Foundation for a while, and now that he’s pushed Steve Yun aside, he’s fully taken the wheel.
Manuel—or "Manny," as he’s called—is currently conducting a personnel purge, removing weak and unnecessary members and replacing them with people from his own team. Several individuals have already left, including Maxim Pertsovskiy (TON Foundation’s COO).
The remaining TON Foundation members are working hard to prove their worth—hence the silence in public. The smartest move was made by Inal Kardanov: he left for TON Ventures, continues to chill, and writes in his channel (rus) 🚽
At the moment, the TON Foundation doesn’t have the funds to launch any initiatives or continue the Open League. I was waiting for the budget to be approved and for "helicopter money" to start flowing, but alas, it looks like that won’t happen this year.
Manny has a clear vision for entering the U.S. market, and he’s passionate about it. Andrey Rogozov (TOP) is actively hanging out with him because he serves as the link between Manny and Pavel Durov. For some reason, I’m sure Pavel and Manny don’t communicate directly. Ilya Perekopsky is also helping strategize, as he’s equally interested in breaking into the U.S.—after all, Telegram is still very weak in that market.
Right now, TON needs Telegram much more than Telegram needs TON. It’s easier to enter the U.S. market through TON and then pull users into Telegram than the other way around. While everyone keeps hyping up TON’s "potential 900M users," in reality, Telegram has 100K crypto users that it’s proud of—and that’s exactly how Telegram is being marketed in the U.S. as a crypto app.
So don’t be blind—use your head. TON has potential. The main thing is that Durov and Stotz don’t make any mistakes.

TON, Tesla, and Telegram walk into a bar...
It seems that something is going on, but they don't want to tell us much about it.
First, the president of TON Foundation wrote on Twitter: "Give me 10 days and you'll know everything", but 10 days later we learned only about the change of his avatar.
Then TON Foundation sends Telegram 25M TON ($102.8M) - it's unclear for what merits. And Telegram, not thinking long, sells 652K TON ($2.68M) OTC 🤡
Then, information about TON's partnership with Tesla pops up in private chats (when, why and why is unclear). This is the second hint of TON and Telegram's connection to Elon Musk. The first was via Grok.
In short, something is definitely going on: TON is growing, but no one is saying exactly what it's about. As always. How many times I asked TON Foundation to be more open with the Russian-speaking community - to no avail.
Well, we have nothing left but to sit, wait and believe in TON for $10.

100 Days – 5,050 Stars! Who Will Give Up First?
Time flies so fast! It feels like we just launched this, but already 100 days have passed since people started donating one extra star each day.
t.me/Kingofthestarbot/Star
The sum of numbers over 100 days is 5,050—exactly what’s needed to kick off the race for the prize pool today.
There are already over 450 unique players, and together they’ve donated more than 76,000 stars.
A quick reminder of the rules:
1. Daily Contribution
Each festival participant donates 1 star on the first day, 2 stars on the second day, 3 stars on the third day, and so on—each subsequent day, the number of donated stars increases by one compared to the previous day.
2. Missed Days
If a participant misses one or more days, they can "catch up" by donating all the stars they failed to contribute in previous days at once.
3. Festival End
The festival continues as long as at least one person donates stars daily. If no participants make a contribution on any given day, the festival ends immediately.
4. Determining the Winners
Winners are those who participated in the festival during its final week (i.e., made daily contributions in the last week). All other participants who stopped contributing earlier are eliminated.
5. Rewards
All collected stars (minus Fragment’s commission) will be converted to TON 21 days after the festival ends and distributed to the winners.
Looks like the race is just getting started. 😁

☺️ 400 million down the drain? Who is dumping TON at $3?
Something strange is going on with these TON investments. The TON Foundation announced that early investors sold $400M worth of TON to large funds.
What kind of "early investors" are these that didn't sell TON at $7 and are now willing to dump bags like this at $3?
If my memory serves me correctly, the early investors are the same funds. The president of the TON Foundation, through Kingsway Capital, already owns a lot of tokens (about a billion dollars worth). Where does he need more?
So they resold it to themselves, and the announcement is needed to attract attention? Or is it just that the Telegram team needed funds and sold their TONs via OTC? Recall that the Telegram TON Foundation paid $300M worth of TONs for their partnership with Telegram. And now some "early investors" are selling for $400M. Kind of weird, isn't it?
Or is Vy Capital, who have invested hundreds of millions in Elon Musk, Twitter, Grok and the like, now investing in Telegram and TON? Have they even seen how Telegram works with its constant hangs, critical errors and crashes? Have they seen that TON has less than 100k live users? Have they seen that the TVL of TON itself is half of what they invested? 🤡
In short, the whole thing is weird. I don't believe in deals like this.

Farming points, getting banned
In the comments under the post about Telegram, you correctly noted — I was genuinely upset about the Whale clicker.
Telegram sent a notification stating that the clicker "promotes and allows users to farm a token on Solana." However, no one except the clicker's creator can know where the token will be—or if there will even be one. 🤷
That is, apart from the exclusive use of TON in apps, the entire project is supposedly supposed to exist only on the TON blockchain. Even if you’re not using blockchain at all in your app and are just farming points or rewards, you still have to think about TON. Constantly!
What kind of nonsense is this? 🚑 What if I say it’ll be on TON, but then it won’t? And why even promise anything if you’re just farming numbers in a database?
PAWS was the first to encounter this—this "exclusivity" rule appeared because of them. Then the Whale app got banned, and now the clicker—just for good measure, since they were planning something on Solana.
Yesterday, Meta also got hit with a ban on his new bot with Telegram Stars. Maybe they thought he was considering moving to Solana with his $M5 and decided to shut it down preemptively? 😁
Honestly, I don’t understand Telegram’s policy at all. If you're doing something related to web3 and don’t plan to stay on TON, just write that you’ll be on TON—then switch once the farming phase is over.
Be careful. Whale will survive, but Telegram and TON’s reputation is getting shakier by the day.

🤡 Durov hyped it — Sasha sold it off — we laughed
People in chats periodically ask me what I think about stickers and the Sticker Store. After reading Alexander’s (@rocketmania) long posts and discussing it with Ilya (@huester), I came to a conclusion—they’re useless. Do you even use the stickers you got from the Sticker Store for 10K stars? I doubt it. You’re just waiting to sell them for a higher price or at least break even.
Price
Why does Durov sell gifts for an average of 100 to 1,000 stars, while Sasha (Notcoin) sells stickers for 10K? If we look back at history, the average price of liquid NFT on the market was $200. Selling for more than that is suicide. Sasha knows purchasing power in the CIS isn’t great, so he just halved the average price.
Hype
Pavel Durov created the hype for stickers when he spoke at Token2049 last year. But in a year, he did nothing. I’ve already written that Durov just outsourced the store’s creation to Sasha, who took over. Sasha tried leveraging well-known NFT collections—monkeys and penguins. It *should* have worked, but it turned out mid.
You know why Ethereum NFTs are growing? Because they’re backed by funds, global influencers, celebrities, events, and partnerships. They drop massive airdrops, attract even more attention, and drive up prices. What do NFT stickers have? Just Telegram. And all the money goes to Sasha, who buys up PX (which nobody needs either), rejoicing at how great it is to avoid funds and big investors who actually demand work.
Buyers
So who’s buying these stickers? Let’s go back to 2024, when the TON Foundation handed out $100M in various ways to projects and grinders—for minimal effort. The average airdrop per person was ~$100 ☺️ Just enough for one of Sasha’s sticker packs. So the Sticker Store made $5M by essentially taking back the money from those who got TON Foundation’s airdrop. The Open Platform, through Open Builders, just used people as "proxies"—feed them crumbs, then take it all back.
TON Society
To Sasha’s rescue came the org responsible for TON’s PR and marketing. They’re pushing stickers with everything they’ve got, and the latest flop is @ricflair. A guy with 1.2M Twitter followers, together with Jack Both from TON Society, tried funneling those people into Telegram. The result? 800 people 🤡 I’m sure they’re just old Telegram users, not new ones.
Why would anyone download a messenger just to buy stickers inside it? Is there even any logic here? Why waste effort and resources on this?
Misunderstanding
The longer I’m in TON, the more I realize the TON Foundation doesn’t actually use TON or its ecosystem. They go to conferences, talk about how amazing TON is—how many users it has, how many projects, how generously money is being handed out. But in reality, none of them have ever mined hashes, tapped a hamster, leveled up a Bomberman, opened a position on STORM Trade, taken a loan on Factorial, or baked cakes on swap.coffee. None of it. They don’t know what users need or what their pain points are. Their only job is to talk pretty—and they do that well.
I say it in almost every post: Talk to the community, find out what people need, where they struggle, and fix it. But no. Instead, we’ll waste resources onboarding people from Twitter via washed-up influencers born in 1949…

The Era of Fintopio Arrives on TON
I’ve been watching how wallets on TON evolve, and I’ve realized: some are standing still, just increasing fees for users, while others are progressing by leaps and bounds.
Among the bad projects—@send. First, they created a roulette game that earned them far more than they gave away. Now, they’ve set a USDT withdrawal fee three times higher than the actual cost ($8 vs. $2 on xRocket), hiding behind the excuse that "it's necessary" 🤡.
Among the good ones—@xRocket. They keep improving their interface and added a quest platform in their bot, which helps attract new users. Sasha Notcoin and his community bot have faded into the background—now, the main player in tasks is xRocket. Right now, they’re running a quest with Evaa and a $9,000 prize pool.
I’m also keeping an eye on Fintopio. It’s a big, legal crypto wallet, so KYC is required to start, but DeFi functionality works without it. I spent a lot of time exploring the wallet and sent the team a list of suggestions—they promised to implement them in April. The project has strong developers and a big team, and the app is available both in the App Store and as a Telegram Mini App.
What I like most about Fintopio and xRocket is their responsiveness and connection with the community. You’ll never get through to @send, but these teams always listen and quickly make improvements. Community engagement is a crucial part of a project’s success 🤍

In the top tournaments and outside the top clickers
Whale seems to have fixed withdrawals—judging by what’s being said in the chat. So if anyone was waiting, you can now submit a withdrawal request.
They’ve also added a personalized video (on the homepage, shown as a cake) that highlights your achievements in 2024. Funny enough, I’m in the top 20% for sports tournaments, even though I only won one 😂 Random be like that.
The video also promises that 2025 will be explosive, and the TGE they’ve been talking about is coming soon. Let’s wait and see—meanwhile, I’ve already dropped out of the top 10 leaders in the WOW clicker…

😑 When investments resurface after years
I saw that the TON Community on Twitter wrote that the media misunderstood the situation - it wasn’t the TON Foundation, but early investors selling TON. But all of this is because everyone only reads headlines, not the content of the articles. And the headline was extremely misleading.
I continued digging into who these funds are and who the early investors are, and it seems I’m starting to understand what’s going on.
Before, during the Trump era, everyone was afraid to work with U.S. citizens and funds, so everything happened quietly. U.S.-based funds invested in TON, but without any mention of it.
Now, to show the "American connection" in light of TON entering the U.S. market, the funds have started making announcements and disclosing their investments. In reality, these investments were made long ago, and we’re just being led by the nose 🦍

🍿 Jupiter Contest: who will stay afloat?
I'm already loving the battle of the teams for Jupiter's attention. Not knowing what kind of money is out there, everyone is trying to pump out as much as they can in the last week.
And while all the projects are praising their solutions in Telegram channels, not without conflicts. However, when has there ever been a contest in TON that ended without conflicts or drama? I don't remember such contests. I don't want to discuss the conflicts themselves - you can read about them here and here - but it would be interesting to consider the problem from an ideological point of view.
Now that aggregators are present in all the major interfaces for exchange on the TON blockchain, the question is: what's next? If DeDust, STON and swap.coffee perform the same functions, where does the user go?
The answer came to me yesterday while standing in the shower: where there is a convenient interface and wide functionality. Now STON has price charts and a referral system, but not all exchanges are supported. DeDust supports all exchanges, but does not have a price chart and referral system. But in swap.coffee there are charts, and support for all exchanges and referral system.
Of course, you can compare the work of aggregators for a long time and show that now swap.coffee overtakes DeDust by 30% in the number of profitable transactions, but who cares if STON is already integrated into Wallet and Tonkeeper, and no one cares to change there even with an additional commission? 🤡 Yes and STON even builds routes through swap.coffee if it's profitable.
In the end I came to the conclusion: for more experienced users who count their commission and savings, it's more profitable to swap where there are charts, limit orders, cashbacks and other useful features.
Also thought that while for DEXs the aggregator is a secondary functionality, for the aggregator it is primary. DEXs have other things to think about, whereas aggregators are only focused on one thing - adding more DEXs and making sharing more profitable.
So persistence in the Jupiter contest is certainly commendable, but I think swap.coffee will still be the main aggregator at the end of it.
