π Who is behind the scenes of TON?
While everyone discusses Pavel Durov and his life, there is a thread that leads to another influential figure in the TON ecosystem β Dmitry Yeremeev, the gray cardinal of the blockchain.
Hereβs what we know:
β«οΈ Dmitry is an entrepreneur from Kazan and a former partner at VKontakte. It was there that he met the Durov brothers and Ilya Perekopsky.
β«οΈ According to Business Gazette and The Bell, Yeremeev was one of the participants in the high-profile Telegram ICO, though the details of his stake remain undisclosed.
β«οΈ When Telegram faced challenges with the SEC and TON was spun off, Yeremeev seemed to shift his focus to the TON ecosystem, stepping down from executive roles in his bank.
β«οΈ Together with Andrey Rogozov, he started developing projects for the ecosystem, such as Tonkeeper, STONfi, and Notcoin, and later founded TOP Innovations Ltd, which now controls key TON assets, including @wallet.
Mystery or calculation?
For a long time, TOP's company documents remained unavailable to the public.
After a recent rebranding, the company's connection to Telegram and the TON Foundation became more evident, yet its legal structure remains unclear.
With so many hidden threads and connections to government and large investors, Yeremeev continues to stay in the shadows.
Why? Perhaps only the players themselves know the answer.
