🎁 Geniuses think alike.

There is a bacchanalia going on in TON right now, which is hard to control. Dozens of tokens appear, liquidity is scattered across multiple projects, the community has no single focus, and everyone gradually loses interest. At the time of $ARBUZ's launch, the main success factor was that you are the first and only one. The entire audience is yours, you have the liquidity of the TON ecosystem, and you have the attention of the community. When you're the only one in the market, it's easy to play.

But now, when the community is fragmented into hundreds of small groups doing something incomprehensible, and projects compete for liquidity and attention of their users, it's hard to expect the community to unite.

This was the conclusion reached by me and Sasha from Notcoin. It's hard to say who came first, as we have slightly different views and approaches to the unification model, but I'll tell you about both ideas and explain why it's important.

🪙 Earn. Build.

It's hard to call this approach a full-fledged lunchpad, but so be it. The idea is this: you are credited with coins from projects that come to the platform for holding certain tokens on your wallet - the same ones that were launched thanks to Notcoin. Despite claims of "onchain farming," there's really no onchain. It's just a regular database that simply checks your wallet balance and accrues tokens.

The mechanism does not work perfectly. The indexing process can take a long time and there is a possibility of manipulating the farming. Pools are limited, so tokens are most often taken by the smartest and biggest players.

The main idea is to hold our tokens and get others. The rich get richer.

🔥 KINGY GM BOT.

The approach here is a bit different. If in the previous case you just need to keep tokens on your wallet, here you need to send them to a common pool. In this case, WP accruals cannot be less than 1 to 1 on the price of sent tokens, but can be more due to game mechanics. For example, you can get daily bonuses of +12%, +25%, or even +50% after a round is completed.

Interestingly, whales usually only get x1 as they invest large amounts in a single pool. Currently, WP's offer is unlimited and is generated directly from the pool. This approach allows you to immediately determine the liquidity of the token and distribute it evenly among participants, combining several communities into one.

Ahead - a lot of updates and bonuses to attract new participants, and the referral system gives you the opportunity to get 10% of friends' tokens. Pay attention to the achivas 🦍

Sasha and I haven't communicated, but I'm sure we both realize that the TON community has split into many small groups that need to be united for further development. It's true that our estimates are very different, Sasha thinks there are over a million users in TON, while I think there are only about 3000 active live ones.

We are so different, but still equally moving towards the same goal.

In continuation of the audience activity assessment from the previous post, I can add: even the launch of the sticker store shows that all of the above is true.

There are about 3000 live, active and paying users in TON now. The rest are seagulls, farms, bots and sybils.

Yes, I agree with the authors of some channels that TON has grown seriously in 2024. But, so that you don't hover in the clouds, let me clarify: it has grown from 200 active users to 3000.

So if you really plan to do something on TON, think twice. And then estimate how much you can "milk" out of these 3000 people from the CIS, plus, perhaps, a couple hundred solvent users from Asia (brothers, I apologize if I offended anyone).

That's it.

🦍 "You don't have 3M! Ew!"

I often hear in chat rooms, "You have only bots on your channel". Hell yes, I do. When the channel had 1M subscribers, Major joined and it became almost 5M.

Did I want that? Of course, because a nice number attracts attention.
Has the real audience increased? Not much at all, but yes.
Did the views increase? Yes, noticeably.
And comments and reactions? No, they stayed the same.
Conclusion: Yes, it's mostly bots.

And so many people write, "What kind of channel is this with 3M subscribers and only 20K views?" Try cleaning it all up yourself. I first turned to @INOTAROBOT (GladOS) to check the number of bots. Turns out he can't analyze all subscribers - only those who were before the infusion with Major, which is about 1M. I cleaned up the deleted ones, and there were only 26K fewer subscribers.

GladOS support explained that the bot had to be connected before adding subscribers, otherwise it's hard to tell who's a bot and who isn't. They estimated that real users on the channel are about 20%, of which only 3 thousand are active.

So, there are only 3000 of you active(!). That's a bit more than the TON blockchain 🤔

You could, of course, add a button like "Click or you'll be kicked", but that's risky. It could also delete people who log in once a week. And this, you must agree, is also sad.

By the way, there are about 7K bots posting every day now. If it continues like this, then in a year and a half I'll probably come to a natural number, unless of course new services come along and flood me with millions of fake subscribers again. 😁

Anyway, I'm not going to do anything about it. GladOS bot failed, and I don't want to delete active readers. So I'll have 3k subscribers and 7k eyeballs, so what? So write whatever you want. Better give the stars to @kingofthestarbot.

The only downside is that I can't make custom emoji like Pasha Durov. He's got a 999 level of boost.

🕹 Did you order Ragnarok?

I love it when teams from South Korea come to TON. They always have quality games that have been developed by large experienced teams or studios for several years. And here they come to port their projects to Telegram. This time it's Delabs Games, a game studio led by Junmo Kwon, former CEO of Nexon, the #1 developer and publisher of Kakaotalk, the largest messaging app in South Korea.

You won't believe it, they're here to port Ragnarok! Ragnarok fucking in a Telegram mini-app! It's a full-fledged MMO RPG that has already reached 200 million users worldwide through the entire franchise. They won't stop at one game - next they will launch Boxing Star with 70 million global downloads and total revenue of $80 million.

The games are scheduled to launch early next year, and the team has already received $12M in funding from TON Ventures, Hashed, Spartan and TonCoinFund. Right now, you can perform simple tasks in their bot and participate in a daily draw of $100$USDC (EVM wallet required).

Finally, clickers and pseudo-mining will be on the back burner - let's grind mobs on lawns! 🙂

The evolution of TON's degradation

Many newcomers may not know the story behind the emergence of the TON Foundation's love of memes. But I'll tell you.

We olds, even before there was a contract standard for tokens, came up with $BOLT. It was an experiment with tokens to try them out and just mess around. The contract was as crooked as possible, but it worked - and it still does (it is even given as an example in the TON documentation). It was the first and only meme token from the community at the time. All 200 people in the ecosystem competed for it.

Then came $ARBUZ. With the DFC Fund's resources and tools, we demonstrated how you can rock a coin even in a swamp like TON when you have the resources. $ARBUZ created and united a strong and active community around it and became an example of a real meme token.

However, when we approached the TON Foundation with the idea of supporting a meme trend, we were looked at like crazy. "What memes? We've got DeFi, scalability, transaction speeds and all that." - TON Foundation employees said. We even offered to burn everything that was redeemed at the time for activations and leave only what was in the hands of users. But we were turned down again and again.

A year went by. Now the main narrative of the entire TON ecosystem is memes. Durov, we fucked it all up.
When we tried to make TON famous, we weren't allowed to do it. Now we're trying to ride a dead donkey with a carrot in front of our nose.

BOLT and ARBUZ faded into the shadows, losing attention, and mempads took their place. Users had fun losing money while the TON Foundation rejoiced in the metrics and the mempads made money.

Eventually, users got tired of losing money and stopped creating and buying memes. Then mempads started sharing their earnings with meme creators, and TON Foundation launched the TON Memelandia rewards program.

However, after playing around a bit, users realized that it was the same eggs, only in profile. They had a fight with TON Foundation over another scam, gave up and left TON.

But the exchanges and mempads don't want to lose profits. They keep coming up with stocks with unattainable rewards like Lamborghini, lower trading commissions and so on.

It seems that soon they will start paying users to go create and trade memes. By the way, Open League is already doing something similar - only within DeFi. But something and it doesn't work, TVL ecosystem is decreasing day by day.

This post is about how you don't have to miss opportunities. When everything is brought to you on a platter, you don't take it. And then you try to do the same thing again, but you fail. The Penguins are giving away more on Solana than TON has given away in the history of the open league. Think.

🦌 Open and Hacker Leagues

Season 7 of the Open League is over, and the Hacker Hackathon has already chosen the finalists. But, as usual, it was not without its problems.

The Open League was held without much enthusiasm on the part of the participants. Some of them still tried hard in the beginning, but at the end they simply gave up because of the non-transparency of the accruals. Many of them had a negative final result - here is a good example 🙄

I was ranked 18th at the start, but by the end I was already 180th. Other than the NFT mint to participate, I didn't do anything specifically for the league. We'll see what happens next and what reward I get for it.

The hackathon was not without scandals either. In the chat room there is a terrible dissatisfaction with the fact that projects that do not comply with the rules made it to the finals. They even made a list of such projects. In addition, projects that have been operating since spring were selected, which caused surprise. Why should an already functioning project participate in the hackathon and take the prize from those who worked and wrote code strictly within the allotted time? It is not clear.

In the end, we have two initiatives from the TON Foundation, which caused discontent among the remaining users of the ecosystem. Why the remaining users? Because many have already left for other, more active and profitable blockchains. And we stay in our swamp and continue to try to build the future and give each other presents in Telegram 🎁

🥷 Who is Victor Ammer!

The TON DLT Foundation was recently set up in Abu Dhabi, which, judging by the photos, is headed by Victor Ammer. But why him? What has he done for the TON ecosystem? And how is he connected to it at all? The answers to these questions could only be found after several days of searching.

To begin with, "Ammer" is not his real last name. His real last name is Filippenko. Viktor is from Ukraine and previously ran the G20 Foundation. Apparently, he changed his last name either to hide his Slavic roots or for family reasons, as his father also has the last name Ammer. If you want to find more information, look for his full name in English.

If you take a look at his old Twitter, which he stopped keeping after changing his last name, you'll notice that back in 2017 he was making reposts of Pavel Durov. Even then, he was already working with him on Telegram, which is confirmed by his LinkedIn profile.

If you dig into the source code of the Fragment platform (straight through ctrl+u), you can find a mention of Trustody in the verification section. There is enough information on the Internet that Victor has been actively working with this organization, and it is registered in the same place as his company Ammer. Judging by his posts on Linkedln, he has been dealing with legal issues of Telegram for several years, and now oversees the legal aspects of Fragment, especially in terms of KYC. He is probably the one who should be "thanked" for implementing KYC in the TON ecosystem. Judging by his support of colleagues involved in KYC implementation in crypto projects, he is unlikely to stop there.

No dark stories have been spotted behind him. However, putting a few threads together reveals a connection to Hub71 in Abu Dhabi and the fabulous $2 billion for Web3 startups in TON. TON Foundation, TONcoin.Fund and hundreds of millions of dollars that seem to have gone in an unknown direction are involved here 🧐 The main "conductor" of this process is Dmitry Fedotov - still a little-known figure, but he works closely with Victor.

Viktor's new Twitter, which he's been following since 2022, has no mention of TON and only a couple of entries about Telegram related to the development of a bot for Ammer Wallet. Who and why decided that he should be the one to lead the TON DLT Foundation remains a mystery.

According to the plan, the new foundation was going to focus on the development of the TON ecosystem in the Middle East, North Africa (MENA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions. However, in reality, the same people are back at the helm, who seemingly will only develop "their wallet."

💵Shall we search for Bitcoin on TON?

There's a new game from the not-so-famous treasure hunt development team - @btctma_bot! The game has finished testing and the release took place yesterday.

They generated a huge world of 99,999,984 blocks in which they randomly hid rewards. Inside can be Bitcoin, USDT (up to $200 per block), TON (up to 50 TON per block) or legendary nothing.

❗ Even the developers don't know where the prizes are - everything is encrypted.

You need to break blocks with pickaxes, which are purchased in the store. Iron pickaxes are available at the start, and for inviting friends you can unlock titanium and onyx pickaxes - they break 2 or 3 blocks at once.

All mined USDT, TON and BTC are withdrawn once a week if you have accumulated at least $100.

Today I'll start breaking blocks and testing the app, so I'll be glad if you go to @btctma_bot via my link 🫶

😈 TON Foundation division: which side are you on?

The TON Foundation has finally listened to my recommendations and made the right move. I have often mentioned in my podcasts that in the current structure of the foundation's work you can't go far: the organization tries to cover several regions, adjusting to everyone, which turns the activity into chaos. The situation is similar to the famous fable "swan, crayfish and pike": something is being done, but the ecosystem stands still.

And so, finally, there was a separation, we have two TON Foundations - the Swiss and the Abu Dhabi TON Foundation.

The Abu Dhabi TON DLT Foundation is headed by Victor Ammer. If you search for information about him, you can find out that he worked at Telegram for 7 years (perhaps for that time a verification checkmark appeared on his channel), and then created his own product - Ammer Wallet.

And this is where it gets particularly interesting. The scandal with me involving 833 TON (in Rus), drug addiction and watermelons was precisely because of Ammer Wallet. Clearly it was a setup, but the coincidence makes you wonder. 🤔

If we compare the news about the creation of a new organization with the information that Telegram did not renew the agreement with native wallet integration, we can assume that the Swiss TON Foundation will continue to support @wallet and Abu Dhabi will take care of promoting Ammer Wallet.

It looks like we're in for some competition, which will probably help the ecosystem evolve. This is a chance to finally break the monopoly that has developed in TON.

Now, when criticizing the TON Foundation, we will have to specify which foundation we are talking about. Or will the new foundation work in such a way that there will be no need to criticize it?

Santa has already stopped by @Whale 🎅

New Year's Eve is getting closer and projects on TON are starting to surprise with their holiday events. As part of my startup race, I'm also preparing a mini-app specifically for the New Year! It is already at the final stage of development and will be released very soon. But while we wait, I want to share Christmas bonuses from Whale.

They have a unique level system: for any activity inside the app you pump up your profile. And now they have announced a great promotion: the first user who reaches level 200 will get a whole $1M! Yes, yes, you heard right - one million dollars! 👏

Honestly, I can't even imagine what other project on TON will be able to top such a claim. While going to the coveted 200 level, you not only get closer to a million, but also earn freespins.

If you're the ludic who got the 13th paycheck, don't miss the chance to become a millionaire in the new year!
