TON Insights

Durov Talks About Notcoin's Success In his official Telegram channel, Pavel Durov mentioned that Notcoin has become one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the world by trading volume, with a market capitalization of nearly $700 million. In just a few months, the project managed to reach 35 million active users. As noted by the head of Telegram, the success of Notcoin highlights the potential of the Telegram and TON ecosystems for App developers.

All of a sudden, Notcoin users who just played this game for fun could convert their in-game currency into real money

💎 He also expressed gratitude for the tokens worth $6.8 million that he received as gifts, which he plans to hold onto until they turn into $680 million. After that, he will use them to purchase additional servers for Telegram. @ton_insights

Notcoin has been listed! Notcoin has been listed on most exchanges. Trading volumes on Binance have already exceeded $220 million. Trading pair on Binance: https://www.binance.com/ru/trade/NOT_USDT?_from=markets&type=spot @ton_insights

It's our turn to provide more details about Notcoin! We'd like to explain what needs to be done to obtain NOT tokens before the listing itself. Just a reminder, the team behind the Web3 gaming project Notcoin has opened the opportunity to claim NOT tokens by offering several options before the listing on May 16th. 📊 Burning NFT Vouchers — If you managed to mint yourself an NFT voucher during the mining period and haven't sold it, you can now convert it into NOT tokens. 1. Go to the @notcoin_bot 2. Type the command /start. 3. Click on "Open." 4. Connect a non-custodial wallet. 5. Choose the symbol ➕ and select "Exchange." Note: There is a 0.06 TON fee for each converted NFT voucher. If you have many vouchers, we recommend switching to Tonkeeper Pro on Windows/Mac/Linux. Then, after burning the vouchers, proceed to @notcoin_bot. 🔃 Withdrawing NOT Tokens You can deposit coins on Binance, Bybit, OKX, or directly into the Telegram Wallet interface within the app and gain access to them at the official launch. This option is available until May 14th. 🔒 Staking & Multiplying NOT You can stake "earned" NOT for 30+ days directly in the Notcoin bot: — The profitability of this mechanism is unknown. — You can only stake all coins at once. Activities to earn additional NOT: — From May 13th to 16th, there is an activity on the OKX exchange called Jumpstart Notcoin. 1,283,990,271 NOT have been allocated for distribution; to get a part of these coins, you need to stake up to 4,000 TON. — A similar action can be done on the Binance exchange, but here you need to use FDUSDT or BNB instead of TON. The NOT pool is almost three times larger here — 3,081,576,651 NOT. — You can split 1,000,000,000 NOT in @wallet by depositing up to 100 TON into the wallet's bonus account. This promotion will last until May 25th. Withdrawals to non-custodial wallets will be available on the listing day. @ton_insights

Open League Digest for the week. TON reaches $200M TVL, $800K Airdrop, and @league winner @investkingyru gave $300K winnings to his community. Join @league — more info.

Pantera Capital announced that it has invested a record amount of money in TON. The exact amount of the investment is still not disclosed. However, the fund has already invested in Bakkt, Bitso and Alchemy, which at one time raised from $250 million to $300 million. Dan Morehead, the founder of Pantera Capital, said in an interview that what attracted him to TON was the Telegram community with 930 million active users. This advantage will allow the new technology to spread rapidly. Unlike most blockchain platforms, TON immediately gets a ready-made audience.

The backbone of this system, the TON Blockchain, is built for high performance and scalability, processing transactions quickly thanks to its dynamic sharding mechanism. This architecture ensures the network can handle millions of transactions per second and scales efficiently as user numbers grow.

Interesting things from the interview with Anatoly Makosov. Anatoly Makosov, the lead developer of the TON Core team supporting the basic TON infrastructure. What did we emphasize? 1. In TON, transaction fees are fixed and depend on the complexity of transactions and, accordingly, can be calculated in advance. This is one of the advantages of TON compared to other blockchains. 2. Many people complain that transactions take a long time (~2 minutes) to go through — this is a bug, since the block generation time is 5 seconds. This can be fixed by penalizing validators with lagging hardware and optimizing blockchain code. 3. It will be a discovery for many, but TON is not the fastest in terms of loading a single transaction, but the leader in the number of transactions per unit of time. Record: 42 million transactions in 12 minutes. 4. Payment Network is under development — this is Layer-2 on TON for fast microtransactions, plus they will be cheaper. @ton_insights

The following fact. TON Blockchain Course is now available in Chinese! Our team first launched the original course in English, and now more than 5,000 future TON developers are studying it. After receiving feedback from students, we decided to translate the course into other languages. This will allow more people to complete the course, better master the material, and gain a deeper understanding of all the features. What does the course translation include? — Chinese voiceover using the lipsync technology; — All notes and tasks translated into Chinese; — Subtitles in Chinese. Thanks for helping to implement this initiative: * Alan Zhang — product manager of a Social Product. * Howard Peng — Dev Rel @ Asia Lead at TON Foundation. Special thanks to TON Foundation for their support! Share this information with your friends in China. The course link: https://stepik.org/201638 Feel free to leave comments on the course. It is better to write them in English. @ton_insights

Let's recall the fact that Telegram is No. 1 in China. Pavel Durov said about it that Telegram is the most downloaded mobile application in China for Android, according to Google Play. The post informed us that China forced Apple to remove Telegram and WhatsApp from the Chinese App Store. At the same time, the Telegram team did not notice any decrease in the number of downloads from China. Durov doubts that Telegram was the Chinese government's goal. In his opinion, it was a move against Apple itself: the Chinese authorities are forcing more and more of their citizens to switch from iPhones to Android smartphones from Chinese companies.

Once again, Apple shot itself in the foot with its centralized “walled garden” app policies. As a result of this change, the iPhone market share in China will keep shrinking. Prioritizing profits over freedom for users is not a good long-term strategy
