Twitter doesn't like TON

Continuing the fight against monopoly, earlier we observed how Asian projects that came to TON lived their lives and rejoiced in the ecosystem's possibilities. TON Foundation representatives actively promoted technology and integration with Telegram, positioning it as an analog of WeChat, but in web3 format. However, after some time in the ecosystem, even conservative Asian users began to realize how things really work in TON.

In addition to independent influencers on TON, Twitter users are popping up on TON, openly calling out the TON Foundation and The Open Platform for answers. Here are examples of the discussions:

"Why is liquidity so low and the number of active users continues to decline? Stop hiding behind Q1-Q3 statistics. Prepare similar data for Q4 and compare - you will see how bad it is" link

To this they reply:
"Low liquidity is due to the fact that new users of cryptocurrencies (50-60% of all newcomers) are not ready to bring liquidity. And projects fail not because of the TON Foundation, but because they themselves can't become wealthy" link

"So it's the community's fault? Right? Of course!" link

"No. There's no one to blame - it's a natural growth process. Some projects are more successful, others less so. You have to stop complaining and start looking for the positives. Just like in life, what's the point of being negative?" link

Other authors are joining the discussion, expressing dissatisfaction with what is happening in the TON ecosystem:

- "People see no reason to add liquidity. All the people on TON are thieves." link

- "A lot of people are leaving the network. Soon there will be no one left in the ecosystem" link

- "Most wallets are inactive. Many of them are sybils and micro-airdrop hunters. Volumes on DEX are practically zero. The NFT market is stagnating. I don't understand how the $TON price stays so high." link

- "TON relies solely on Telegram and Durov" link

- "While you are creating fake stats, users are leaving the TON blockchain and it's turning into a dead network!" link

- "TON is not decentralized. In fact, it is extremely centralized." link

- "The myth of a completely decentralized community on TON doesn't work. Everyone knows who makes the key decisions. As long as that person tries to shift responsibility to the "community", the situation will only get worse." link

- "Is 12 million onchain trading volume in TON an impressive result? Even the average Pump Fun trader generates more volume than the entire network, lol" link

- "Many large projects in TON are either frustrated and silent or already planning to leave the ecosystem" link

Twitter gives the impression that it's impossible to convince anyone of the prospects of the TON ecosystem. People there are not on Telegram and don't know about its history or the current state of affairs. And maybe it's for the best. At least you can't delete comments on Twitter, as they have been doing in the TON Community for 3 years.

Telegram business.

I've been reading Gost's ramblings for a week now, and I'll tell you, he certainly gets through, even though he doesn't know all the details of what's going on. This is from the series: once in a lifetime and the stick shoots.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one with the impression that Durov trusts and helps only his acquaintances or comrades. He would never praise DeDust as a product or Meta, which attracted a lot of people to TON even before Notcoin.

Durov is generally accustomed to doing everything with other people's hands, so that, if anything, you can "cut it off" and move on with your life. Anonymous numbers, usernames - everything through Fragment, not directly through Telegram. And so it is with all the other projects. His familiar people became tools to test the Telegram team's hypotheses.

Rogozov deals with Wallet, Sasha Plotvinov, as his right-hand man, produces products under his brand. But if you go to top.co, you can see that Notcoin, Blum, Open Builders are all part of TOP's portfolio.

NFT-stickers, which Durov promised to release with 50% commission distribution for the creators, is launched again not by Telegram, but by Sasha and no distribution is visible, all the stars were taken by TOP. Renat Roxman (Major), who was previously mentioned by Durov, for some reason is the first, even before the official announcement, to get a tick for organizations to give out their ticks for 20,000 stars. Other bots with similar functionality, after submitting an application, wait weeks for a response and get nothing.

And those who are not immersed in all this don't even realize that all this was launched not by Telegram, but by someone else's hands. NFT-stickers won't take off? Well, they'll just delete the market as a bot and that's it. Telegram didn't launch it, so no complaints. Will they take off? Telegram will tell at the next Krito forum about its successes.

It's funny that the announced NFT-stickers are still not in release, but NFT gifts are already on the hype and are actively resold on the secondary market, even the @nft channel has appeared.

I don't understand what's going on anymore. It's pure Telegram business. Telegram was unprofitable, Durov gave them the task of making products on TON, they created a monopoly, and now they are stealing money from everything they can. Telegram has become profitable - the haircut has intensified. And the fact that app and project creators are leaving the TON ecosystem because it's impossible to create something of their own here and compete with TOP, no one cares.

Memes are over, time for hackers!

I love the news about a TON of things being hacked and scamming users. In the last 24 hours, attackers have figured out how to scam Getgems users and initiate double purchases of Telegram gifts in the new marketplace.

On the one hand, this is bad, but on the other hand, it means that a TON of smart people are coming in who are turning their heads on and not just flipping memes. The more smart people come in, the more there will be both hacks and new technologies 🧘

Do you think why no one has cracked the protocols on TON yet for large sums of money? Because in addition to having brains, you need to know Func language, and there are very few people like that all over the world. Now we'll get TVL, protocols will become liquid, and then attackers will start to learn FunC 😄 Otherwise, where else to get such motivation? Money is the best motivation.

Build money!

I love free giveaways and tokens a TON. Basically, the $BUILD token was given away for free. You had to connect your wallet, join a pool, and you were allocated a certain amount of tokens.

Judging by the load of pools and bright marketing activity, more than 1 million users (or bots) participated in Earn.

And then came the moment of stigma. People who have received a small amount of tokens log into the app, where they are asked to confirm the transaction to claim their tokens.

How much does that cost? Tonkeeper shows 0.27 TON - that's about $1.5. But as we know, Tonkeeper is owned by the same firm, and it may not display all fees. We look into the transactions and see additional fees of 0.1 TON for each branding transaction.

Now we do the math:
1 million users * 0.1 TON = 100,000 TON, or half a million dollars. This is how they make money from "free" token distribution in Earn pools. 🎁

You can see for yourself how commissions are collected: https://tonviewer.com/UQCgFbl61MaKl1AlrP3QKaK5mxUcTh3MpDZ1WI8fivF-0XlD.

On top of that, there's also Sasha himself fiddling with the token pool https://tonviewer.com/0:bc784c7ed0e214db84250bfaf597b7a63694e82a265fa7cfc1abf879cd4e5003

That's it. TOP has activity as usual. Better 🔥 @kingygmbot go play, it's more useful 😃

🥊 From boxer-loser to star!

Have we forgotten the guys from South Korea who are busy porting Ragnarok to Telegram? As I mentioned, they have another game scheduled to launch early this year - Boxing Star X. And now the moment has come.

The most interesting thing is that this game will be a cross-messenger game. That is, it will be released for Telegram and Line at once. We will fight with Asians, but each on his own platform. The concept of the game is as simple as possible: you start your way on the streets of the city as a loser fighter, and then master the technique of boxing, practicing your skills, improving your boxing equipment and knocking out your opponents.

The closed beta testing (ZBT) will last only a week - from January 7 to January 14. The developers have prepared various SBTs for the participants and a chance to get exclusive Genesis Star badges, which will give in-game benefits after the official release. We managed to find out secretly that there are bonuses even for daily login 😉

Play on Telegram - https://t.me/boxingstarxbot/boxingstarx?startapp. Codes for ZBT will be posted in the comments under this post, they are only 100 pcs. Have fun 😉



And of course, since this is a ZBT, if you find any bug, report it here: https://forms.gle/BUP8JRsxDSohSK79A. Those who reported bugs will be eligible for the $100 raffle after the end of the ZBT.

Boxing! 🥊

UPD: These are the codes!

🤩 How Telegram turns stars into gold

Yesterday, gift enhancement was introduced - this is when different attributes are added to your gift.

Enhancing any gift costs 25 stars. 25 * 0.013 = 0.325 / 5.3 = 0.0613 TONS. The description for the new update states that this fee is necessary to cover the blockchain's fees. So, in essence, you are paying for the mint of your future NFTs yourself (but that's not certain).

And here's the funny thing.
First, 25 stars on Fragment costs 0.0664 TON, which already yields 0.0051 TON of profit from each gift improvement.
Secondly, after an enhancement, a gift transfer function between users becomes available, which also costs 25 stars.
That said, there is no interaction with the blockchain right now.

This is reminiscent of how mini-apps make money from microtransactions. After issuing a few tens of millions of gifts, you collect 3 cents from each upgrade and pass it between users. So much for the second billion in profit for Telegram 😎

The year is over, but what's next?

As I watch TON Foundation employees and people close to them summarize the year in the ecosystem on Twitter, my heart goes out to them. They live in some other world, where everything is cool, where all goals and objectives are fulfilled by +1000%, and the results are just amazing.

However, what I see:
- If 500 million users on Telegram in 5 years, the growth should be 100 million users per year. Did 100 million come to TON? No. Token holders: HMSTR - 10 million, DOGS - 5 million, NOT - 2.8 million, but these are all the same bot farms.
- Has the TON ecosystem roadmap been updated? Are the items in the "coming soon" section accomplished? No.
- Maybe a TON browser has emerged? Or a bridge of some sort? No.
- Have TON Foundation members started Telegram feeds? No. Twitter is still the main source of news.
- Have we maybe reached $1B TVL? No.

The list goes on for a very long time...

Yes, we gave away a lot of money, shored up some metrics for nice presentations to investors and fed old users a bit by raising TON's price to $7, but I wouldn't be proud of that.

🎁 Ludo-Blum has chosen the TOP path

Recently a new, sensational video from Vladimir Smerkis was released, which finally killed the hope of Blum users.

Let me remind you that at the beginning of the year, when Blum appeared, the project bribed users with the fact that its creators are former Binance directors. Many believed that they knew how to make quality products. Besides, by the end of 2024 they promised to launch a cool DEX and organize a generous drop.

Users started to play in the summer: they mined points, invented scripts, and attracted the audience. Meanwhile, the creators of Blum sold advertising, earning on the expectations of future drops. Just so you understand, the cost of a single ad campaign in Blum was $200K. How many ads were sold during this time - we can only guess. There would have been enough not only to create an exchange, but also to launch a rocket to the moon.

For almost a year, users invested their time and effort in the project, waiting for a full-fledged exchange that would bring income through issued tokens. But instead of the promised DEX, a mempad appeared.

And now Vladimir with a serious face declares - "your previous points are not so important, but thank you for farming them". It looks like a scam, but in fact the second season 😁

Users are now encouraged to create memes and trade them to earn new points. Even my designer Taisia succumbed to Vladimir's charm and created a McBlum token ($BM) in hopes that it would help her in the future. But instead of supporting already tired users with rewards, Blum is pushing them towards even more ludomania.

Everyone knows that there are many times more chances to win in a casino than making money from memes. Only the site and sometimes the creators make money. Now the hope for convenient and easy trading for inexperienced users has turned into ludomania on memes.

The funny thing is, I think the hand of The Open Platform (TOP) is behind all this. I'm sure they are the ones who insisted on launching the memepad and continuing the story along with it. Moreover, the mempad is not even a development by the Blum team. It's an off-the-shelf TOP solution that was wrapped in a bot and sold to the audience as their own. At the same time, TOP receives 50% of the revenue from commissions.

This is how almost all mempads on TON work, where the listing of coins goes to STON.

Why is it profitable for TOP? It's simple. Users create memes - the commission goes. Users trade memes - commission goes to their pockets again. Users list memes on STON - turnover grows, which means even more commissions. All TOP products are created solely for the company's earnings, and users are just a means to an end.

Too bad Blum chose the same path....

The Spirit of Christmas, or how Durov's re-branding is in the air

While someone is counting the days until the New Year and waiting for the introduction of NFT-stickers in Telegram, I want to remind you that back in November 2022, Durov promised to release decentralized tools, including a wallet and exchange. In fact, in the two years that have passed, centralized Telegram Stars, half-screen ads among posts, unnecessary gifts like in VK, and giveaways have been introduced. The only significant achievement remained Fragment, but even there KYC was introduced.

According to him, TON was supposed to give power back to the people, and it turns out Telegram through the stars and KYC took power back to itself.

Oh well, re-shoeing and re-shoeing. Who doesn't?!

Soccer instead of Olivier

I don't know what kind of clowns play soccer in December, and even before New Year's Eve, but there really are some. It turns out that the Premier League is on!

I wonder how much the players have to be paid to take the field on December 31? "Blue light" just rests.

The Whales also decided to reward those who choose to watch soccer before the New Year rather than "The Irony of Fate".

Classics tournament for 4 days with a prize pool of $10k. All the soccer you can find will participate.

To participate, go to @whale, click on the ball in the center at the bottom (or select the "Soccer" section). Then scroll down the page to the Premier League Showdown banner and click "Participate". You don't need to pay anything to take part.

Then you can choose winners in any soccer matches and wait for them to finish. Points in the ranking are calculated based on the amount of winnings * 10 (for example, $10 with 1.5 odds will count as 150 points).

There's also other promotions overlapping, with lvl ups and such, but you already know that.

The main thing is fun.

⬛️ Not Monopoly

Over the last two years, my channel has been full of posts about the monopoly of Andrei Rogozov and The Open Platform company. As they say, you can't help who you fall in love with...

It has long been known that TOP has signed several agreements with major magazines and media resources, which allows each update in Wallet or other products of the company to instantly hit the media headlines. Among the most famous are Cointelegraph and Cryptonews.

But they didn't stop there. Open Builders, the company that launched Notcoin, Not Pixel, Sticker Store, Earn, and was also involved in the projects DOGS, MAJOR, Lost Dogs and many others, has also turned into a monopolist in the information field.

As early as February 2024, when Notcoin was gaining popularity, representatives of Open Builders started offering cooperation to small influencers from the TON ecosystem. Remember the very "folder" with channels about TON, through which subscribers were poured en masse? As it turns out, it was part of a deliberate strategy.

Here are the terms of "cooperation" for channel authors they offer:
1. We pour you traffic from all Open Builders apps and resources - for free.
2. You keep writing posts as usual. Comments and communication in the channel - obligatory.
3. If we need an infodump, you write about our apps.
4. If an advertiser shows up, we bring them to you for ads or integrations.
5. We own the rights to your channel (!), but you continue to run it as an author. We support you and make sure the channel grows.

Sounds tempting, doesn't it? But it's a "pact with the devil." In fact, they take away the rights to the channel from you, turning you into an outsourced employee of The Open Platform or Open Builders, whatever.

They've been running this scheme for almost a year, and a lot of channels have already agreed to these terms. It's a really favorable offer: they give you traffic and audience, bring you advertisers. They just give you money for content. But you become a hostage of the information field.

What happens if you want to write the truth about TOP? Or tell what a mediocre product Not Pixel is? Chances are, you won't. After all, you're not going to chop the limb you're sitting on. Open Builders gives you an audience, money, opportunity... and at the same time, it takes away your freedom of opinion.

Until a couple years ago, TON's had a lot of independent writers. Today, however, most Influencers have buckled under the monopoly, becoming part of a carefully constructed information machine.
