🔓 Quantum Security

Reports in chat rooms and channels about wallet hacks have increased over the last few days. It seems to have started... Or is it still early?

I'm increasingly coming across news that new encryption algorithms and defense mechanisms against quantum computers are being developed for Ethereum. Many people fear that in the future quantum computing will be able to crack private keys and transaction signatures, so more and more sophisticated ways of computing are being created.

Scientific institutions are developing new standards for cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to selection using quantum computers, and programmers are already working on blockchains to protect against such threats (Beam Chain, for example, was a key event at Devcon).

TON has not seen any activity in this direction so far - memes seem to remain a priority. But if other blockchains are starting to think seriously about this, perhaps it's time for us to do the same? Can TON Core manage without Nikolai Durov, or can they only rewrite ready-made code? 😮

🫠 Tonkeeper is broken.

After the latest updates, Tonkeeper has gone bacchanal. The app imposes its browser on any authorization. If you want to access the Telegram mini-app via Ton Connect, it launches a browser, but authorization fails. How do you solve this? You don't.

You go to applications from their catalog, for example, in swap.coffee, try to make a transaction - and there is no confirmation. You just don't get a confirmation offer.

Want to send a TON to a smart contract and watch the emulation work to see what comes back when you send it? Forget it. It doesn't show that now. Send blindly.

As a developer, do you want to send a payload like you did before? TON goes out, but the hyperlinks are broken. Bottom line is the transaction is just in the "milk".

I think I'm turning into a Tonkeeper fan again and going back gradually to Tonhub.

As usual, wrote to Denis Subbotin with my displeasure. He says, "Vudi, you have an iPhone, update." It was scary to update. Last time after the update nothing worked for a week. But I decided to do it. I updated - half of the list was fixed, but the residue remained.

📱 Start Telegram channels already

One thing I can't understand is why everyone is pushing the fact that TON is designed for full integration with Telegram? That we have Telegram with its 900 million users? That TON together with Telegram will put cryptocurrency in every pocket?

And in reality...

Steve Yun runs Twitter, not a Telegram channel. Inal Kardanov is launching a token on Twitter, not Telegram. Jack Booth, co-founder of TON Society, who is now in charge of TON marketing, is running Twitter, not a Telegram channel. WTF!!!

Anatoly Makosov, developer at TON Core, Alyona Shmalko, ecosystem leader at TON Foundation (although Twitter is much more active) and Yulia Vavilova, Pavel Durov's girlfriend, set a good example. They keep a Telegram channel and are happy. You can tell who really trusts Pavel, right? 😎

Solana: success in the memcoin arena

Solana is buzzing with life - especially in the world of memcoins. The coin itself updates ATH almost every day, following Bitcoin, so users have more and more money to invest in new projects.

Streams on Pump.fun gather tens of thousands of viewers, and the brightest moments turn into viral memes and get into news headlines and Telegram chats. The X feed (Twitter) is buzzing with jokes, and shillers are relentlessly announcing new tokens. At the same time, the capitalization of the next memes reaches millions of dollars literally in a matter of minutes.

What's happening on TON?

TON's price has been stuck in a narrow $5 corridor for months now, and the TVL ecosystem continues to decline on a weekly basis. The TON Foundation is trying to fatten up users by giving away tokens as part of the latest season of The Open League and trying to launch a successful meme through trusted "Influencers". However, new memcoins are unable to gain even $100k TVL, and liquidity simply migrates between projects within the network.

The TON Foundation's attempts to poach Solana users look futile. Solana has long been a brighter and more vibrant ecosystem, and even the most dedicated TON fans get the feeling that the "other side" is more fun.

Nevertheless, TON stays true to its style: like $ARBUZ - one solid fun experience. Who was born in TON doesn't laugh in Solana?

Memes from everyone and all to nothing.

It seems that nothing can surprise me anymore. In my experience, as well as Meta's example, I realized: launching multiple tokens without any real use only hurts reputation. After all, we launched a strong $ARBUZ memtoken before it became mainstream.

What happens next? Attention to the token drops, the price drops after it, and you become a priori a scammer. Those who managed to make a profit rejoice, while those who did not manage to do so turn into investors who will most likely never get their money back. Although they are to blame themselves, the chat rooms invariably blame the creator of the token, even if the token was unprofitable for them.

No matter how many times I persuade people with projects and influence, who are not the last in the ecosystem, not to launch memcoins, they still do. And then their reputations start getting smeared all over the chat rooms with all the consequences. 🙃

I certainly realize that memes are trending. But we all realize that it's:
- A shifting of money from one pocket to another;
- a feeding trough for validators and memepads;
- money for snipers and softies;
- gifts to crooks.

And even if someone says it's "just for fun," it's worth remembering that $ARBUZ was a fun project too, that was its slogan. It could have become the second $PEPE because the attention and funds were just for it, not like now on hundreds of tokens with $200K capitalization. But no one backed him at the time, back then memes weren't important or necessary for the ecosystem yet. And now what's it like for watermelon holders - fun! 😎

Remember: there's no big money in TON's of big money, and it's not coming here. Everyone who has money has fun at Solana. And if there's no money, we'll never have a token with tens of millions of TVL either.

🦛 TGE Hipo Finance.

Remember the Hipo liquid protocol promo after which 48 lucky winners won Hipo x KINGY Heroes NFT? Now it's their time!

On November 25 at 12:00 UTC, the TGE of the $HPO token will kick off. In honor of this, the Hipo team, as promised, has prepared a special offer for owners of the $KINGY token and 48 unique NFTs.

Owners of $KINGY who participate in the $HPO TGE will receive an exclusive eirdrop of 5% $HPO on their purchase amount! To participate at the time of the snapshot, you must:
- Have at least $100 in $KINGY and $100 in $HPO at the same time, OR
- Own at least one of the 48 Hipo x KINGY Heroes NFT and have at least $100 in $HPO tokens.

That's it 😏.

Team Hipo has chosen an unconventional format to launch TGE - directly on DEX. It's going to be hot on November 25, because Hipo is an already running DeFi product on the TON blockchain, and the initial price is only 2 cents.

This is a significant step for the TON ecosystem: big projects like Tonstakers or Bemo don't have their own tokens yet, and Hipo acts as a true pioneer. The team has made significant progress over the year, and I will personally support them at TGE!

The era of memcoins and shillers

I am approached by a lot of mempads, people, companies and projects asking me to help promote their token, launch it on their platform and so on. But I realize that I already have three tokens ($KINGY, $ARBUZ, $GM) under my belt - where else?

Creating memtokens every day is a way to create a conveyor belt of ludomania, which in the end is of no interest or benefit to anyone, only destroys reputation. Except that TON Foundation may be happy that they will have a million tokens with small capitalization, a lot of addresses in the blockchain and a huge number of small transactions. But globally, it won't do any good for the TON ecosystem or its participants.

As I watch Solana Influencers promote yet another token on Twitter, I'm increasingly wondering: is it worth trading my reputation and relevance as a critic for a mere shilling of memes?

I already know that $BOLT and $ARBUZ were the first and remain the best memes in TON history. I was behind the launch of both projects. And my tokens $KINGY and $GM are still waiting to show what they can do. The $KINGY token is almost two years old, and it is quite alive and well.

And here is a dilemma: on the one hand, I want to help projects - it's profitable and fun, and on the other hand, I don't want to turn into a typical shiller.

🔁 Terminal. +20% from mining.

Recently, mining has become a fashionable trend, but there is a project that existed even before this trend became mainstream.

Many people have heard about the Terminal project, which appeared on the EOS blockchain many years ago. However, due to internal team disagreements, the project ceased to exist. Later, on the TON blockchain, another team launched a new project with the same name.

The concept remained similar. Users can purchase so-called "mods", for example, for 10.58 TON. For 21 days, the "push" button must be pressed twice a day. If you don't skip days, at the end of the period the user gets 12.69 TON and $TRMNL tokens. This is a kind of asset-holding event where the return is +20% for a full cycle. The tokens are accrued daily, and on about day 9-10 you can get your invested funds back.

Many skeptically assume that the project works on the principle of a pyramid. However, payments are made not at the expense of new users, but at the expense of advertising revenue. The larger the audience of the project, the higher the cost of advertising.

I talked to several reputable Influencers who already participate in the project. The feedback is positive. Moreover, there are regular discussions with TON Foundation members on Twitter. The project also has partnerships with big players such as STORM Trade, MemeFi, TweetScout and Sandbox.

As always, DYOR (Do Your Own Research), but the project looks thoughtful and the team is focused on success. Check it out for yourself in their Terminal mini-app.

USDt > TON?

A curious trend is emerging in the TON ecosystem. The total USDt issuance in the TON network has exceeded 1.2 billion, and now the question arises: where to find a use for these tokens? If we don't find ways to utilize them, they risk becoming "dead weight". At the moment, TVL in TON is stagnant at $310M, and most of USDt continues to be used exclusively on exchanges.

However, a new trend shows that projects have started to actively use USDt for disbursements. First, the TON Foundation allocated $50K in USDt to retrodrop TBook (for the first time not in TON). Then the @whale team replaced referral program payouts from TON to USDt. Also, @whale network Solana added....

It seems that after Pavel Durov's focus on popularizing and implementing Telegram Stars, the focus on TON is slowly waning not only for Telegram, but also for projects in the ecosystem.

Transformer Foundation.

TON Foundation President Steve Yun and TON Society co-founder Jack Booth spoke on stage at The Gateway 2024 with a presentation on "TON's Path to Decentralization".

They spoke about the plans for transition to a new TON management model, where decisions are made solely by the community, and competition, innovation and cooperation become the main tools for ecosystem development.

At first glance, everything looks positive. But one gets the feeling that instead of real decentralized management, roles are being distributed and responsibility is being abdicated. For this purpose, as it turns out, many subsidiary organizations are created:
- TON Foundation
- TON Core
- TON Studio
- TON Ventures
- TON Society
- TON Acc
... and others. And, by the looks of it, the list is only going to grow.

But is this a step towards community governance? The community has never made key decisions in TON - from validator votes to freezing TON first miners or blocking them for 5 years.

Most likely, such structures are created to shield TON Foundation and its employees from the attention of regulators and authorities. After all, despite the status of a non-profit organization, a huge amount of money is poured into the ecosystem.

This is a case where Transformer has been taken apart and then put together in such a way that it's now hard to figure out how and who will manage it all. 😆

NIKO-never trust the TON Foundation

At panel discussions and conferences in Dubai, Alyona Shmalko, ecosystem leader of the TON Foundation, repeatedly spoke about the incentive programs launched by the foundation and the prospects for memcoins at TON, accompanying her speeches with a large disklammer.

I remember her words: "the programs are working well, but we are not attracting exactly what we need, so we are constantly analyzing what is happening and adapting them". What is happening now with Memlandia certainly confirms this.

The TON Foundation is looking to poach the title of "meme blockchain" from Solana and is doing everything it can to do so. There are already more meme pads on TON than memcoins themselves, and the truly HYIP tokens have yet to appear.

That's why TON Foundation, TOP and the main market maker DWF decided to take things into their own hands and created the token $NIKO.

TOP, represented by STON.fi, cut the pool commissions to 0%, DWF created wallets and started to spin volumes, TON Foundation allocated funds for prizes, and then - Memlandia came to life! Steep volumes, better token, huge capitalization - yes, this is the TON ecosystem where a new $BONK or $PEPE is born. Twitter hang in there, we're off to throw screenshots about a token with $100M market cap. 🤦‍♂️

Showed us how to make memes, well done. And we were wondering how to create a $150 million market cap with two thousand users on the blockchain, but it turns out it's that simple.

At this rate, no one will trust the TON Foundation and their incentive programs. Too bad the face of this whole circus is Alyona, she's just doing her job.

Believers in TON

After The Gateway, where everyone was shown beautiful numbers and ecosystem metrics, TON had more believers.

A week has passed and battles have started in the chat rooms: those who are impressed with the future are rooting for TON, while those who are not - continue to criticize it.

I want to say to all the believers that you are right. I myself believe in TON, but each of us believes differently.

Some believe in the price of TON at $250, some believe in 900 million users who will come and start using transfers, some believe in a fast and reliable blockchain, some believe in integration with Telegram, and some simply trust Pavel Durov, because he can do no wrong.

But this faith is different for everyone. TON can be the fastest and best blockchain, but with a token price of $1. Or people can come from Telegram and start using it, but the blockchain will be slow. Or Pavel Durov may be banned from mentioning TON, but the blockchain will continue to exist, and so on.

Everyone's faith is different, accept that and don't argue amongst yourselves. A common effort may be able to close aspects of each faith - or maybe not. 🙂 What do you believe in?

Podcast from swap.coffee

I have about seven podcasts on YouTube now, and a lot of people ask the same questions. The guys at swap.coffee went through all the podcasts, took notes on the questions I've already been asked, and asked the ones that are really interesting to both them and my community.

Who is Olga Nemo? What is Filimonov's diagnosis? What happened to $GM? When will I start a YouTube channel? The answers to all these questions are in the new podcast:

Validators in TON are dying out

As you know, the TON blockchain is powered by validators. To become a validator, you need to have a minimum of 300K TON for every second cycle, or 600K for every cycle. Recently, the TON Core team began the process of eliminating underpowered validators, and later introduced penalties for poor performance.

However, the changes didn't end there.

Due to the growing number of validators, active competition for market share has begun: the bigger the validator's steak, the more operations it processes and the higher its revenue. Since the maximum number of validators is strictly fixed in the configuration of the TON blockchain and is 400, validators that are not on this list simply do not participate in the network.

Currently, the minimum steak of a validator occupying the 400th position is 414K TON. You can check at tonscan.org/validators. This means that nominator pools, which were previously heavily advertised as an easy entry into validation for all comers, have simply dropped out of the process, and users who invested their TONs are not receiving any income. You can check out such ones at tonvalidators.org, but there are only those here that have been approved by the TON Foundation, in fact there are many times more.

What is particularly notable is that neither the TON Foundation nor TON Core have commented on this situation. Their validators are still working, and they are willing to build up their steak to increase their influence on validator elections. Meanwhile, participants with smaller steaks, are simply left without income and access to voting. People could, for example, put 10K TON for 3% APR into a nominator pool with 350K TON, and today they are already without income because they are off the list.

If you have ever participated in nominator pools, check if your pool is working now and move your funds to more profitable protocols.

Jett-landia

The whole TON has started going memelandia crazy. Some people are hating it for the fact that you need to spin volumes, others are creating tokens and hoping to win prizes.

And if earlier tokens were created by anyone who was not lazy, then to win a prize in Memlandia, you need to be a seriously charged team.

Firstly, you need a large capitalization, without it you cannot show good results.

Secondly, you need trading volumes, which means you need a large community.

Thirdly, you need to support and pump up the price in every possible way, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain the level of trust.

Only one token in Memlandia fits all the criteria so far - $JETTY. It's only 24 hours old, but the team has a big project behind it, and tomorrow they will launch farming on DeDust.io with USDT reward until the end of memeland and plan to increase capitalization in the coming days.

You can follow the fate of the token in their chatroom or on dexscreener. I've purchased 50 TON worth, I'll observe and come back for more.

Memeland tokens must feed users, otherwise what's it all for.
