Here are the things @durov needs to fix on Telegram for $TON/ $GRAM to have constant buy pressure and create a consistent, sustainable pump:
1. TON must shift from being an optional payment method on Fragment to becoming the default payment method on Fragment, because Fragment is not just an NFT marketplace. Fragment is where the economic activities of Telegram's 1 billion monthly active users, such as Telegram Stars, Premium, giveaways, and ads, run. If Durov can do this, it will significantly boost investor confidence.
2. Telegram has a big problem with the loss of discovery neutrality, which is one of the reasons builders don't want to build anything serious on Telegram. To boost builders' confidence and encourage innovation, Telegram needs to maintain discovery neutrality.
3. Telegram needs to build the world's first cypherpunk execution engine that lowers the barriers for thinkers to become builders of freedom at scale on Telegram, and then make Telegram the global orchestration layer of that execution engine.
@durov can make this happen.
Telegram and TON have the potential to produce massive numbers of killer products like Hyperliquid, Polymarket, and highly innovative AI agents.
For those who don't understand, I'll break it down further so everyone can understand.
Stay tuned.
JUST IN: The TON blockchain adnl-tunnel repo has been updated with a new payment network system.
adnl-tunnel is a TON network layer that enables multi-hop routing of data across the network, promoting off-chain anonymity.
Is $TON preparing a web3 browser as part of MTONGA ??
🚨 Leopold Aschenbrenner's 13F just dropped
Check this out, this is absolutely INSANE.
Every major name. All brand new this quarter:
SMH VanEck Semi ETF – $2.04B
NVDA – $1.57B
ORCL – $1.07B
AVGO – $1.01B
AMD – $969M
MU – $584M
TSM – $535M
ASML – $494M
INTC – $159M
Last quarter he held a $747M bullish call on Intel.
THIS QUARTER IT IS A PUT.
He also cut his CoreWeave call from $774M down to $141M
FULL EXITS:
Lumentum, Coherent, Tower Semiconductor, Cipher Mining, Hut 8
What he kept and added:
The bitcoin miners turning themselves into AI data centers.
Applied Digital, Bitfarms, CleanSpark, IREN, Riot.
Plus a brand new stake in Hive Digital.
The thesis writes itself.
Long the companies pouring the concrete for the data centers. Short the chips going inside them.
The man who wrote the manifesto on AGI just bet against the semiconductors building it.
We’ve been in this game for a very long time, and when we make a new move, we’ll share it here.
Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the signal. This is VERY important.
Many people will regret not following us.
🛠 Developing for TON just became 10x faster. The new toolchain makes smart contracts easy to create, test, and deploy. Most importantly, fully AI-ready.
It replaces TON’s fragmented tooling stack with one dev flow. Start building! https://t.co/6Amgo2hW2S
This is what true Founder Mode looks like. Incredible to witness and to be a humble supporter of this man on a mission.
Never bet against @durov, @telegram or @ton_blockchain
$CHERRY will capture 5 to 10% of $UTYA market cap.
If $UTYA reaches a 5B market cap, $CHERRY will hit $250 to 500M.
Do your own math. You’re still early. 100/200x from here.🍒
$TON is gaining momentum
TON is up 30% in 24 hours, trading around $1.84. The fundamentals back it up:
✔️ Network is 10x faster
✔️ Fees cut by 6x
✔️ Telegram became the largest validator on the network
In Wallet, you can not only trade TON on spot and perpetuals — you can also earn on it. Up to 17% APY in the Earn section.
Telegram becoming TON’s largest validator strengthens decentralization.
It lets other major players join the validator pool without centralizing the network — with Telegram as the counterbalance.
📈 More and more TON gets locked in validation as everyone competes for 20%+ APR.
