💎 Durov loses $10B according to Forbes

Forbes analysts have aggressively re-evaluated Pavel Durov's net worth. While his fortune sat at $15.5B in 2024 and peaked near $17.1B in 2025, the updated 2026 billionaire rankings show his capital has plummeted down to a conservative $6.6B.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ Forbes slashed its estimate of Durov's net worth nearly threefold, from a peak of $17.1B down to $6.6B ⚫️ Analysts applied massive liquidity discounts to Telegram's valuation due to persistent global regulatory and legal challenges ⚫️ The downgrade reflects broader macro shifts and lower market multipliers for tech and social media companies ⚫️ Heavy short-term financial liabilities, including a looming $1.1B bond repayment obligation, weighed down the assessment ⚫️ Expectations for a swift Telegram IPO have officially stalled, removing any immediate liquidity premium from the asset 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ This is a paper loss, not a depletion of actual cash: Forbes is pricing in severe legal liabilities against his 100% equity ownership of Telegram ⚫️ Financial tightening around Telegram could complicate its ability to aggressively bankroll the TON / GRAM ecosystem using native corporate reserves ⚫️ However, Durov's personal reserves remain largely obscured; Forbes traditionally excludes hidden liquid assets like his macro Bitcoin stash (held since 2013) or ecosystem token holdings ⚫️ For the community, this drop proves that Durov is now highly dependent on the success of the MTONGA roadmap to turn the ecosystem into an autonomous, cash-generating empire On paper, Durov has been wiped out of $10 billion. Fortunately, in the Web3 space, actual leverage isn't measured by magazine ranks, but by validator weight and native ecosystem control. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON Connect v3: The double-edged sword of convenience

Developers have rolled out the major TON Connect v3 protocol update. While the update introduces highly anticipated features designed for mass adoption, the extreme optimization of the user experience has already raised serious red flags among security experts.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ TON Connect v3 officially introduces gasless transactions to the ecosystem ⚫️ Mini-app developers can now sponsor gas fees for users and accept operational fees directly in Jettons or NFTs ⚫️ The protocol introduces embedded requests, allowing apps to merge wallet connection and transaction execution into a single prompt ⚫️ Wallet confirmations inside Telegram Mini Apps have been streamlined to work with near-instant FaceID / TouchID triggers ⚫️ The network's user experience is pivoting heavily from complex Web3 operations to a frictionless Web2 feel 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ Gasless transactions are a massive upgrade: newcomers no longer need to hunt for native tokens (GRAM / TON) just to cover network fees, simplifying interactions on marketplaces and gaming apps ⚫️ The real danger lies within the combo of embedded requests + instant FaceID: merging the initial wallet connection with a transaction signature eliminates a user's critical "second thought" window ⚫️ Instant biometric confirmation exponentially raises the risk of accidental or careless sign-offs; if a user stumbles onto a scam bot or phishing dApp, a drainer could empty their wallet in a single literal blink ⚫️ Ecosystem security now heavily relies on the defensive design of host wallets (like Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet)—wallets must clearly display exact money-flow previews even within a compressed "one-click" scenario TON Connect v3 successfully brought Web2-level comfort to the ecosystem, but it might have accidentally stripped users of their self-preservation instinct. Moving forward, the goal is to avoid catching a rogue FaceID prompt on a fake marketplace while assuming you were just logging in. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 A quiet launch for the second TON treasury?

A potential competitor for public funds accumulating TON has emerged on the horizon. Preparation is reportedly underway for the launch of a new treasury vehicle on NASDAQ under the tonmate.pro brand. The project's landing page is currently a "coming soon" placeholder, but the website is already being actively edited.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ The tonmate.pro domain has surfaced, positioning itself as a future public treasury vehicle for the TON ecosystem ⚫️ Notably, the domain was registered exactly 10 days after the GRAM trademark was transferred to the BVI-based offshore entity, Vernham Group ⚫️ The project aims to list on the NASDAQ exchange, following in the footsteps of the pioneer TON Strategy (TONX) ⚫️ Unlike Manuel Stotz’s TONX fund, TONMATE claims a different focus, emphasizing ties to the TON Foundation and UAE participation ⚫️ Currently, there are no official SEC filings, corporate disclosures, or stock tickers available for the entity 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ The emergence of a second treasury vehicle targeting NASDAQ confirms that institutional appetite for the TON ecosystem is intensifying in US capital markets ⚫️ The precise timing between the domain registration and the transfer of the GRAM trademark to Vernham Group strongly implies this could be part of Telegram's broader, under-the-radar strategy ⚫️ If the UAE connection materializes, it could signal a massive influx of Middle Eastern sovereign capital into the ecosystem, offering substantial backing for GRAM ⚫️ The lack of SEC filings indicates the project is in its absolute infancy of "guerrilla" marketing, meaning we are still quite far from any actual share trading It seems Wall Street has developed a taste for TON and is gearing up for a second wave of institutional players. Let's just hope that behind the flashy UAE flags and claimed Foundation ties lie actual GRAM acquisitions, rather than just another attempt to sell investors hot air wrapped in a "Coming Soon" tag. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 Toncoin officially becomes Gram

The governance vote to restore the network's historic name has officially concluded, with an overwhelming 81.2% of TON holders voting IN FAVOR. Toncoin is officially stepping aside to make way for the GRAM ticker.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ The on-chain vote finalized with 81.2% of total weight supporting the rebranding proposal ⚫️ The ecosystem's native token is officially changing its name to Gram and its ticker to GRAM ⚫️ The underlying blockchain retains its original identity as TON (The Open Network) ⚫️ The transition is completely seamless for users: for instance, 10 TON in any wallet will automatically reflect as 10 GRAM ⚫️ The voting followed the standard DAO model where voting power scales with asset weight, leaving the ultimate decision to whales and validators 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ This historic update finalizes a long-awaited comeback: Durov has successfully restored the token's original identity from the 2018 whitepaper ⚫️ The decisive 81.2% approval rating proves that the network's largest stakeholders are fully aligned with Telegram's MTONGA roadmap ⚫️ Despite the DAO framework, the process serves as a stark reminder: the opinions of retail "plankton" with small balances hold virtually no weight in macro governance decisions ⚫️ The market's focus now shifts toward technical execution, forcing exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols to rapidly align infrastructure to prevent trading confusion Web3 democracy worked exactly as intended: the whales spoke, and the rest of us just have to get used to the new letters in our wallets. Welcome back to the Gram era. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON breaks below the $1.54 mark

Just a couple of days ago, TON was comfortably trading around the $2 zone, but a sudden downward spiral caught the market off guard. This aggressive drop has heavily alarmed both long-term hodlers and leverage investors.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ TON's price breached key local support levels, tumbling straight down to $1.54 ⚫️ The coin wiped out over 20% of its value in a matter of days from its recent $2 psychological high ⚫️ The sell-off was triggered by broader crypto market weakness, with BTC dragging altcoins down along with it ⚫️ Trading volume surged during the dump, signaling panic-selling from retail traders and forced liquidations ⚫️ The hype surrounding the upcoming GRAM rebranding has temporarily failed to shield the price from a harsh correction 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ The $1.54 mark is a danger zone; if buyers fail to swiftly reclaim the $1.7 level, the technical setup risks shifting to a macro bearish trend ⚫️ This sudden crash shatters the local upward momentum built on the back of the MTONGA roadmap updates ⚫️ For investors, it's a harsh reminder that even record-breaking on-chain transaction growth and Telegram synergy cannot protect an asset during a market-wide rout ⚫️ The current panic serves as a major litmus test for whales and large validators: will they step in to buy the dip, or will the bleeding continue? While TON holders are anxiously refreshing their wallets, the chart makes it clear who's actually in charge right now. Let's just hope $1.54 is a painful shakeout ahead of the rebrand, rather than the start of a deep dive. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON outpaces Sui, Base, Aptos, and Tron in transaction growth

While the broader crypto market consolidates, TON is flashing anomalous activity metrics. Over the past 30 days, the network recorded the highest growth in transaction volume among all major blockchains, leaving established traffic giants in the dust.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ TON secured the #1 spot for transaction volume growth dynamics over the last 30 days ⚫️ The network outpaced major high-throughput chains including Sui, Base, Aptos, and Tron ⚫️ TON's daily transaction volume has consistently breached the 3.9 million mark during peaks ⚫️ Recent fee reductions and critical infrastructure upgrades sparked an aggressive surge in on-chain activity ⚫️ The monthly count of unique active addresses posted robust, double-digit gains 🔝 Почему это важно / Why it matters ⚫️ Outperforming Tron and Base is a major milestone: Tron typically dominates real-world volume via USDT transfers, while Base leads L2 activity through cheap fees and memecoin volume ⚫️ This breakout proves that the GRAM rebrand announcement and the unfolding MTONGA roadmap have successfully funneled massive speculative and utility capital back into the network ⚫️ Unlike synthetic stress tests, these metrics reflect authentic, live utilization driven directly by Telegram's native user base ⚫️ The ultimate test now is whether the infrastructure can sustain this heavy traffic loop without triggering the wallet freezes and validator bottlenecks seen during previous high-load events TON's transaction metrics are scaling faster than its rivals, and users are tapping more aggressively than ever. The real challenge next is translating this record-breaking traffic into sticky, long-term liquidity rather than just flashy analytics charts. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON ranks as the 10th fastest network globally

Based on average TPS (transactions per second) over the past month, TON holds the 10th spot among all active blockchains. The network's actual on-chain activity currently hovers around 42.5 transactions per second.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ TON has secured the 10th position in the global real-world blockchain speed rankings ⚫️ The network's monthly average performance is recorded at 42.5 TPS ⚫️ The market leader, Solana, remains far ahead, handling around 3,000 real-world transactions per second ⚫️ TON's live metrics are a far cry from its marketing test records, yet it still outperforms most legacy L1 chains ⚫️ On-chain load is gradually scaling due to the influx of new Telegram mini-apps 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ Real TPS and synthetic stress tests belong to completely different worlds; while TON clocked 104,000+ TPS in a controlled testnet, the live mainnet doesn't utilize that capacity yet ⚫️ Breaking into the Top 10 fastest networks is excellent for Mass Adoption, but it is barely enough for the ambition of becoming the ultimate Web3 super-app ⚫️ Solana retains its speed dominance with 3,000 TPS, driven by massive volumes of speculative meme traffic ⚫️ For TON, stability is now far more crucial than peak speed: those 42.5 transactions per second must process flawlessly without wallet freezes TON is officially a top-10 fastest network. Now, we just have to wait for actual ecosystem demand to catch up to at least half of those mind-boggling numbers the core team once showcased on slides. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON officially rebrands to Gram Pavel Durov has announced a return to the

roots: the native token of the TON ecosystem is changing its name and ticker to GRAM. While the blockchain itself will remain The Open Network (TON), the coin resurrects its legendary identity from the 2018 whitepaper—the very same name once buried by the SEC.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ The Toncoin token is officially being renamed to GRAM ⚫️ The underlying blockchain will still be known as TON; only the coin's ticker and branding change ⚫️ The technical transition and full rollout will take about 3 weeks ⚫️ No manual migration is required for users: balances, wallets, and addresses remain intact ⚫️ This marks step 4 out of 7 in Durov's ongoing "Make TON Great Again" (MTONGA) roadmap 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ Rebranding to GRAM is more than a cosmetic update; it finalizes the shift away from the TON Foundation toward Telegram's direct ownership ⚫️ Durov is restoring the project's original vision, which Telegram was forced to abandon in 2020 following the $1.7B SEC legal battle ⚫️ The market reacted instantly, fueled by nostalgia, pushing the token price past the $2 mark ⚫️ The MTONGA roadmap continues to unfold, systematically turning the once-independent network into Telegram's proprietary crypto wing Six years later, Gram is finally making its way back into Telegram. It seems Durov decided to clear his old regulatory debt with the SEC by simply rewriting the asset labels in our wallets. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON TA: Buyers desperately need to hold the $1.7 level The crypto market continues to cool down, and TON is no exception. Right now, all eyes are on the key support level at $1.7 and the TON / BTC chart, which indicates whether the altcoin can withstand Bitcoin's dominance. 🔝 What changed ⚫️ TON has approached a crucial psychological and technical benchmark at $1.7 ⚫️ The TON / BTC pair on TradingView reflects how much BTC is needed for 1 altcoin, showing its strength against Bitcoin ⚫️ The total crypto market cap (TOTAL) dropped by 4.67% over the past month, from $2.57T to $2.45T ⚫️ Over the last week, the market downturn accelerated by another 2.00% ⚫️ The overall correction from the May 10 peak has already reached a tangible 10% 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ The $1.7 mark serves as the primary line of defense for buyers; if breached, selling pressure could intensify ⚫️ The TON / BTC chart helps determine where to park capital: if the line goes up, TON outperforms BTC, even if both are dropping in USD ⚫️ On-chain metrics confirm a general market cooldown, leaving TON with only local strength for now ⚫️ Global liquidity is shrinking, meaning there is no fresh cash, and the asset has to rely solely on internal hodlers TON buyers are doing everything they can to protect $1.7. Let's just hope holding this level doesn't turn into another "everything is fine" narrative while the chart keeps dipping. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON turned 5

On May 26, 2021, at 22:42, the testnet2 network officially became mainnet. Since then, TON has moved from “Telegram’s legacy” into a separate ecosystem with wallets, mini apps, NFTs, jettons and its own drama.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ TON mainnet turned 5 years old ⚫️ The network grew from testnet2 into a full blockchain ecosystem ⚫️ Telegram became the main mass-access channel for TON ⚫️ Wallets, mini apps, NFTs, jettons and trading infrastructure appeared inside the ecosystem ⚫️ TON now competes not only through speed, but also through user access 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ 5 years for a blockchain is no longer an “early experiment” ⚫️ TON is now judged by real users, volumes and stability, not by promises ⚫️ The Telegram connection remains the network’s strongest advantage ⚫️ The next stage is harder: turning traffic into a stable economy, not just strong headlines TON made it to year five. Now the ecosystem just needs to mature faster than the number of reasons for nervous crypto Twitter. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 Makosov wants to make TON failure-proof

Anatolii Makosov set a goal for TON: outperform other blockchains in fault tolerance. At the same time, the first update aimed at improving single-shardchain performance has been released. TON slightly woke up ahead of its 5th anniversary and moved from $1.8 to $1.9.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ Makosov named fault tolerance as a new major target for TON Core ⚫️ The team released the first update in this direction ⚫️ The upgrade is focused on improving single-shardchain performance ⚫️ TON is trying to strengthen the narrative beyond speed and low fees ⚫️ The market warmed up a little ahead of the anniversary 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ For TON, reliability is becoming as important as speed and fees ⚫️ If the network wants mass payments, mini apps and trading inside Telegram, failures cannot become part of the user experience ⚫️ Shardchain performance is the base layer for real scaling, not just pretty slides ⚫️ After MTONGA and volume swings, TON needs to show tech progress, not only memes TON heard the word “fault tolerance” and decided to move up a bit. Looks like the market is still ready to treat any good news as the next mtonga. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 Max Crown has left TON Foundation’s Swiss structure

Swiss registry records show that Max Crown has left The Open Network Stiftung. The former CEO’s signing authority in TON Foundation’s Swiss legal entity has been revoked. At the same time, Durov once again attacked WhatsApp, calling its encryption a “giant fraud”.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ The registry shows Maximilian Crown exiting The Open Network Stiftung ⚫️ His signing authority in TON Foundation’s Swiss entity was revoked ⚫️ Crown was previously tied to a senior role in the foundation structure ⚫️ Durov claimed WhatsApp lied to users about privacy ⚫️ According to him, Meta employees had access to “virtually all” private messages 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ Crown’s exit is a visible governance signal for TON Foundation ⚫️ After recent TON news, any change in the foundation structure will be watched more closely ⚫️ Durov is again pushing Telegram’s core narrative: privacy against Meta ⚫️ For TON and Telegram, this comes down to the same trust question: who controls the infrastructure and who can actually see user data TON has another change in the paperwork. Durov has another fight with WhatsApp. Looks like the week’s theme is simple: fewer signatures, more punches at Meta. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

📣 Your phone number is probably rented. Degenphone wants to make it ownable.

Most virtual numbers work the same way: you pay, use it for SMS or verifications, then lose it when the subscription ends. Nothing is really yours.

❗️ Degenphone flips this model ❗️ You mint a fresh European number once, use it on 50+ platforms, receive SMS, pass verifications for crypto exchanges, apps, services and other platforms, and keep the number as an NFT. No KYC, no documents, no monthly “please keep paying or we take it back” energy. And now there’s a contest running on top of it 🎁 🔥 Degenphone is giving away 6 NFT numbers:

— 1 Gold — 2 Silver — 3 Common

The mechanics are simple: every roll gives you points, and each next roll gives more than the previous one.

1st roll = 10 points 2nd roll = 20 points 3rd roll = 30 points 4th roll = 40 points

…and it keeps stacking. 💵 The more you roll, the heavier your entry becomes. And if you mint a number, your total points get multiplied by x2 Winners are picked randomly, but the draw is weighted by points. So yes, luck matters — but farming the contest properly matters too. 🗓 Contest ends June 20. eSIM is already going mainstream. The interesting part here is that Degenphone turns a virtual number from a rented tool into something you can actually own, use, trade, or sell later. Early utility + NFT ownership + live giveaway. ✅✅✅ 👉 Start rolling

💎 Toncoin closed its English and Russian chats

Toncoin’s official channels have closed their English and Russian chats. Looks like the community got a bit too loud after the whole MTONGA story.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ Toncoin’s official English and Russian chats are now closed ⚫️ Users lost two key public spaces for discussion ⚫️ After MTONGA, this looks less like routine cleanup and more like saving everyone’s nerves ⚫️ TON communication is becoming more careful and more closed 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ For a major ecosystem, open chats are not just noise, but a direct contact point with the market ⚫️ Closing them may increase the distance between the team and the community ⚫️ After controversial stories, silence often reads worse than an awkward answer ⚫️ TON needs not only product growth right now, but also cleaner public communication Looks like MTONGA was not a token, but a corporate cost-cutting and staff optimization program. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON is already TOP-2 by NFT volume

In April, TON became the second-largest blockchain by NFT trading volume. Only Ethereum was ahead. Solana and Base were left far behind.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ Ethereum — $54.2M ⚫️ TON — $35.2M ⚫️ Solana — $8.1M ⚫️ Base — $4.5M ⚫️ TON once again secured its place among the main NFT activity networks 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ TON’s NFT segment no longer looks like a local Telegram experiment ⚫️ The gap with Solana and Base shows real trading scale ⚫️ Telegram Gifts and NFT infrastructure keep pushing the network higher ⚫️ For TON, this is a strong argument: users are here, trades are here, volume is here too While some chains are talking about the “NFT comeback”, TON just took second place and acted like it was always part of the plan. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 ton.org now looks more like a real TON showcase

The site now puts speed, average fees and the main ecosystem blocks upfront. TON is being packaged more simply: fast, cheap and close to Telegram. No extra Web3 philosophy needed.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ ton.org now highlights TON finality at 0.6 seconds ⚫️ The average transaction fee is shown at $0.0005 ⚫️ Native access to 1B+ Telegram users is now part of the main pitch ⚫️ The ecosystem is split into clearer blocks: Toncoin, smart contracts, tooling, mini apps, wallets and more ⚫️ Acton and Tolk are also placed inside the broader TON developer story 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ TON is clearly strengthening its public positioning ⚫️ Speed and fees are now front-page arguments, not buried in documentation ⚫️ For developers, the site works better as an ecosystem entry point ⚫️ For the outside market, this is a simpler explanation of TON: fast, cheap and close to Telegram TON updated the showcase. Now the market needs to see not only the clean packaging, but also real volume inside. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON took 2nd place in NFT volume, but jetton trading looks less pretty

In April, TON became the second-largest blockchain by NFT trading volume. Only Ethereum was ahead, while Solana and Base stayed far below. Trading bot volumes tell a different story: the MTONGA hype cooled quickly, and daily volume dropped 11x in one week.

🔝 What changed ⚫️ Ethereum posted $54.2M in NFT volume in April ⚫️ TON took 2nd place with $35.2M ⚫️ Solana reached $8.1M ⚫️ Base had $4.5M ⚫️ On May 5, TON trading bot volume reached 4.3M TON ⚫️ By May 13, it had fallen to 370K TON 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ TON’s NFT segment looks stronger than many expected ⚫️ The gap with Solana and Base shows that TON NFT activity is already meaningful ⚫️ But jetton volumes still depend heavily on separate hype cycles ⚫️ MTONGA created a spike, but the market cooled fast without a follow-up ⚫️ For TON, the question is simple: there is traffic and there are users, but trading activity needs to become more stable NFT numbers look solid. Jettons are still moving from hype to hype. Hopefully, Durov has everything under control, because TON is sitting around $2.08 meanwhile. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 Arkham is dropping TON support

Arkham Intel is removing TON from its supported networks. The platform regularly reviews chain integrations and keeps the ones where it sees enough user demand.

TON did not pass this round. 🔝 What changed ⚫️ Arkham is ending TON support on Arkham Intel ⚫️ The decision followed another review of chain integrations ⚫️ Key criteria included user demand and the chain’s role in the crypto ecosystem ⚫️ Users tracking TON wallets and transactions will need other tools ⚫️ The timing looks sharp after the recent wave of TON-related news 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ Arkham is one of the more visible tools for on-chain analytics and wallet tracking ⚫️ For TON, this is not a technical hit, but it is an unpleasant signal for external analytics coverage ⚫️ Fewer major tools supporting the network means traders and analysts have less quick visibility into on-chain flows ⚫️ For the ecosystem, it is a reminder that network growth must show up not only in validators and speed, but also in demand for third-party tools TON can be fast, decentralized and loud. But when analytics platforms do not see enough demand, the market gets a cold shower with no ceremony. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑

💎 TON appeared in a new banking trojan case

Researchers found a new version of TrickMo — an Android trojan targeting users of banking apps and crypto wallets in France, Italy and Austria.

The key detail: the trojan used TON to communicate with scammer-controlled servers. Its requests were hidden inside network activity, so the traffic looked like normal TON activity and was harder to block with standard methods. 🔝 What changed ⚫️ A new TrickMo version used TON for command-and-control communication ⚫️ Attacks were spotted in France, Italy and Austria ⚫️ Banking app and crypto wallet users were targeted ⚫️ Server communication was masked as regular TON activity ⚫️ This made standard traffic blocking less effective 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ TON is becoming visible infrastructure, and that attracts more than just developers ⚫️ For users, the main risk is still fake apps, APKs and “updates” ⚫️ For the ecosystem, this is a reputation challenge, even if the network itself was not hacked ⚫️ The more TON is used in the real world, the more dirty cases will appear around it Ecosystem growth is not only wallets, mini apps and liquidity. Sometimes the trojan arrives in the trunk too. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑
