💎 TON Core on lower fees: end-of-April rollout plan
The “fees down 6x” story is moving from talk to an actual release plan. TON Core is shipping a protocol update first, then running a separate vote focused on gas pricing.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ TON Core is preparing a blockchain upgrade – under the MTONGA plan, fees are expected to drop roughly 6x
⚫️ The package includes performance improvements building on Sub-Second, a new mempool, and bug fixes
⚫️ April 28 – validator update
⚫️ April 30 – vote on lowering gas prices
⚫️ Validator rewards are expected to drop by less than 0.4%
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This is the cleanest path to mass usage: lower fees – more actions, especially for games, gifts, mini apps, and micropayments
⚫️ A new mempool + post-Sub-Second tuning is about staying stable under load, not just posting headline numbers
⚫️ The key detail: they’re aiming to cut fees without breaking validator incentives, since the reward impact is tiny

💎 Durov: TON fees will drop 6x, some operations will become free
Durov says TON is preparing a major fee reduction: average fees should drop by about 6x, and some operations may become completely free.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ According to Durov, TON fees are expected to decrease roughly six-fold
⚫️ Some operations are planned to become zero-fee
⚫️ This fits the broader “Web2 feel” direction inside Telegram: fast, cheap, and frictionless
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Fees are the biggest brake for mass usage: micropayments, games, gifts, subscriptions, mini apps
⚫️ If certain actions become free, transaction frequency can jump — users stop thinking “is it worth the fee?”
⚫️ The key question is implementation: “free” usually comes with limits, quotas, or a different cost model behind the scenes
⚫️ Either way, it’s a strong signal: TON is being shaped for Telegram’s massive audience, not just for traders

💎 Ofcom vs Telegram: the UK launches a formal probe
UK regulator Ofcom says it has evidence that child sexual abuse material is being distributed on Telegram and has opened a formal investigation. Telegram is pushing back hard, denying the claims and saying that since 2018 it has largely eliminated public distribution via detection systems and cooperation with specialist organizations, while framing the probe as part of a broader attack on platforms that protect free speech.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Ofcom has opened an investigation to assess whether Telegram is doing enough to prevent illegal content distribution
⚫️ The regulator points to collected evidence and risk assessments
⚫️ Telegram categorically denies the allegations and insists public distribution has been largely removed since 2018
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This isn’t just PR noise: enforcement can mean heavy penalties and, in extreme cases, restrictions on how the service operates in the country
⚫️ After cases like this, the blast radius often expands: platforms tighten moderation and rules beyond the specific issue, impacting channels, ads, and feature access
⚫️ For the wider Telegram ecosystem, the signal is clear: regulatory pressure is increasingly shaping product decisions

💎 European-style child protection and Telegram-style AI agents
An EU court ruled that Hungary crossed the line with restrictions aimed at minors. Durov responded with his usual sarcasm – and then used the moment to push the idea that Telegram + TON are becoming a strong base layer for AI agents.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ The court ruled Hungary violated EU rules over restricting minors’ access to LGBTQ content
⚫️ Durov mocked the logic: the EU wants to restrict teens from social media, but not that content – an “original” way to protect children
⚫️ He also explained again why Telegram + TON is becoming a core stack for AI agents
⚫️ And added a blunt line: Telegram has done more than all competitors combined – yet it’s still not enough
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This is the classic “child safety vs values and free speech” clash – and Telegram keeps ending up in the blast zone
⚫️ The louder these stories get, the faster regulators will push harder on rules, moderation, and feature access
⚫️ The AI agent part is the real roadmap signal: Telegram wants to be more than a messenger – a place where agents actually live and work

💎 Login with Telegram: sign in without browsers or passwords
Telegram released dedicated login kits for iPhone and Android, so “Login with Telegram” can work directly inside apps — without popping a browser. Durov is already expecting the “Continue with Telegram” button to go mainstream.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Telegram shipped login kits for iPhone and Android
⚫️ Apps can integrate Telegram login natively, without redirecting users to a browser
⚫️ Durov says it’s free, and he expects “Continue with Telegram” to appear across many apps
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Fewer steps at login = better conversion: more users complete signup and come back
⚫️ Telegram is positioning itself as a universal “passport” for services built around its audience
⚫️ If adoption scales, Telegram becomes more than a messenger — it becomes a major gateway into apps and online services

💎 Token Bridge V3 is shutting down: Ethereum → TON transfers stop
Starting April 27, the legacy Token Bridge V3 will stop supporting Ethereum → TON transfers. The opposite direction (TON → Ethereum) will keep working — with fee changes that should make withdrawals cheaper/simpler.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ From April 27, 12:00 UTC, the bridge stops Ethereum → TON transfers
⚫️ TON → Ethereum transfers will remain available
⚫️ Fees for TON → Ethereum are expected to be simplified/removed depending on transfer size
⚫️ The broader move: TON is shifting to new cross-chain solutions
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This effectively closes the “old entry route” from Ethereum into TON — anyone relying on V3 needs a new path
⚫️ Moving to new solutions usually signals stronger security and/or better UX and costs (often both)
⚫️ The risky part is always the transition window: people will keep trying the old bridge out of habit after the deadline

💎 Telegram is testing new anti-blocking tricks — the “partial unblocking” isn’t random
Looks like Telegram is testing new ways to bypass restrictions, which is why the app suddenly feels “partially unblocked” for some users. The pattern is familiar from 2018 — the tools are just smarter now.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Telegram is testing new bypass methods, and users are noticing “partial unblocking”
⚫️ Like in 2018, Telegram started delivering hidden proxy details via push notifications to subscribed users
⚫️ At the same time, traffic is being disguised to resemble major services like Google, Steam, Apple and others
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Clear signal: Telegram is building censorship resistance into the product, not outsourcing it to “find a proxy yourself”
⚫️ For strict regulators, that makes blocking more expensive and less predictable
⚫️ The downside is obvious too: the better the bypass, the faster authorities will escalate and look for new ways to squeeze the platform

💎 Binance TON trading tournament: 400,000 USDC up for grabs
Binance launched a TON spot trading tournament. The idea is straightforward: generate volume – earn rewards. Big prize pool, but there’s a minimum entry bar.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Runs April 15–29
⚫️ Prize pool – 400,000 USDC in vouchers
⚫️ Spot pairs: TON/USDT and TON/USDC
⚫️ Minimum to participate – $500 trading volume
⚫️ Top prizes:
⚫️ 1st – 20,000 USDC
⚫️ 2nd – 16,000 USDC
⚫️ 3rd – 12,000 USDC
⚫️ 4th–5th – 4,000–8,000 USDC
⚫️ Everyone else shares the remaining 160,000 USDC – up to 20 USDC each
⚫️ Rewards are distributed based on trading volume
⚫️ Payouts – by May 13
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Tournaments like this usually spike volume – liquidity improves and price moves can get sharper
⚫️ For TON, it’s extra spotlight: Binance pushes the asset into traders’ feeds and watchlists
⚫️ Just don’t chase volume blindly – fees can eat the “free money” faster than people expect

💎 Bots in two clicks: Telegram rolls out Managed Bots
Durov says Telegram can now create AI bots in basically “two clicks.” The new Managed Bots mode looks built for services that want to ship their own “agents” directly inside the messenger, fast.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Telegram is introducing Managed Bots
⚫️ The pitch is simple: services can create and launch their own bots quickly, with less setup friction
⚫️ Positioning is clear – “AI bots in two clicks,” meaning ultra-low onboarding
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Telegram is pushing bots from “developer-only toys” to a mainstream product layer
⚫️ Easier launch = more agent workflows everywhere – support, sales, reminders, automation
⚫️ And competition gets brutal: if anyone can ship a bot fast, the winners will be the ones with real UX and real value

💎 Zero-fee TON staking: Stakee × MyTonWallet go 0%
Stakee and MyTonWallet announced they’re dropping staking fees to 0% for the coming week. That means users keep the full yield — no service cut.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Stakee and MyTonWallet are rolling out a 0% fee staking window for about a week
⚫️ Users can earn maximum yield on their TON without fee deductions
⚫️ The window is limited — it’s positioned as “the next week”
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ 0% fees is a classic move to attract deposits fast — “free” always pulls attention
⚫️ It’s a clean way for users to try staking with minimal friction and learn the flow
⚫️ With TON’s speed upgrades and staking-yield talk in the air, this looks like a well-timed push to ride the hype wave

💎 Telegram without the internet: mesh mode as “VPN over Bluetooth”
A mesh-network scenario is back in the spotlight: Telegram could eventually support a mode where messages hop device-to-device via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, without relying on ISPs or the “normal” internet route. Sounds wild — but the motivation is obvious: resilience against shutdowns.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ The idea: a mesh mode where phones relay messages directly via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, forming a living chain of devices
⚫️ In this model, internet access and classic server routing aren’t strictly required
⚫️ Building this at Telegram scale is hard, but the concept already exists in other messengers
⚫️ If it ever ships, ISP-level blocking becomes far less effective
⚫️ One of the few ways to seriously suppress mesh is radio jamming across Bluetooth/Wi-Fi bands — basically “scorched earth” for local connectivity
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This would push Telegram toward censorship resistance by default, not as a workaround
⚫️ For strict regulators, the fight shifts from “blocking an app” to messing with the radio environment itself
⚫️ For TON inside Telegram, it’s also a potential safety net: if Telegram stays reachable, so do Mini Apps, wallets, payments, and on-chain activity
⚫️ But let’s be real: mesh isn’t a “next update” button — it’s a massive engineering + UX problem where mistakes get expensive fast

💎 TON Foundation fires up the ecosystem: Art Contest + AI Hackathon
TF is playing both angles at once: culture/memes for buzz and AI agents for builders. A classic “media + devs” combo.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ TON Art Contest is live: 20 winners split $2,000 ($100 each)
⚫️ Task: create TON-themed art (memes, NFTs, games, community — anything goes)
⚫️ Limit: max 2 submissions per participant
⚫️ In parallel, an AI agents hackathon for Telegram + TON builders with a $20,000 prize pool — https://t.me/toncoin
🗓 Application deadline: March 25, 23:59 UTC
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Art Contest = a fast way to flood the ecosystem with content and boost TON visibility without heavy ad spend
⚫️ The AI agents hackathon signals the next bet: Telegram as the interface, TON as settlement/infrastructure
⚫️ The window is short — ship a working MVP and you’re competing not just for prizes, but for ecosystem attention

💎 Degenphone: NFT phone numbers as assets + a tournament to fuel demand
https://t.me/DegenPhoneTonBot turned a “phone number” into an NFT on TON — with real functionality and a narrative of earning via resales and promos. Now they’ve added a tournament on top to push activity and referrals.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Key perks: instant SMS receiving, integrations with bots/AI/automations, maximum anonymity (no identity link), supported by Nicegram
⚫️ These numbers used to be basically free, but now https://degenphone.xyz/market reportedly start around 70 TON (~$100) and go up to 1000+ TON (~$1300)
⚫️ The team launched a tournament: 10 NFT prizes, with the highest PTS earners getting the most valuable rewards
⚫️ PTS logic is straightforward: 1 roll = 10 PTS, 1 referral = 1 PTS, plus “monetization” boosts (Diamond/Gold/Silver/Regular tiers)
📊 Prize pool:
1) https://t.me/DegenPhoneTonBot

🤑 Points system:
Basic actions:
🎲 1 roll — 10 PTS
👥 1 referral — 1 PTS
🏆 Monetization bonuses:
💎 Diamond: +500 PTS (+100 per referral)
🥇 Gold: +250 PTS (+75 per referral)
🥈 Silver: +150 PTS (+50 per referral)
🥉 Regular: +75 PTS (+25 per referral)
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ A phone number is being packaged as a tradable asset: value = secondary liquidity + scarcity + promo mechanics
⚫️ Real SMS + anonymity makes it genuinely useful for Telegram-native services, bots, and automation flows
⚫️ The tournament is a classic growth engine: rolls + referrals + upsells → more on-chain activity and more demand pressure
⚫️ But the entry isn’t “cheap fun” anymore: a 70 TON floor means you’re betting the secondary market stays alive — otherwise it turns into an expensive collectible fast
🦸♂️ Strategy: Make rolls, invite friends, and monetize more to secure a spot in the Top-10 and https://t.me/DegenPhoneTonBot!

💎 TON Core: TON is moving toward millisecond-like operations
TON Core (led by Anatoly Makosov) is showing real progress: the testnet has been running in Sub-Second mode for over a month — and it hasn’t fallen apart.
🔝 What changed
⚫️ TON testnet has been stable in Sub-Second mode for more than a month
⚫️ Throughput: 2–3 blocks per second
⚫️ Capacity: roughly ~1,000 TPS inside a single shardchain
⚫️ Operation time stays under 1 second
⚫️ Even during major mints (NOT, DOGS, HMSTR), the load reportedly didn’t exceed ~500 TPS — not even close to the ceiling
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This looks like sustained stability, not a one-off benchmark screenshot
⚫️ TON is building headroom for the next Telegram-driven spikes (Mini Apps, payments, массовый user traffic)
⚫️ If Sub-Second becomes the baseline, TON UX starts feeling Web2-fast — with real on-chain settlement
⚫️ The takeaway: they’re not just “speeding up the chain” — they’re preparing it for scale

💎 The “pretty side” of TON: TF leans into the Western Web3 narrative
TON Foundation posted a LinkedIn series highlighting women building in the TON ecosystem and pushing Web3 forward.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ TF shared stories and “success secrets” from women on the team working in Web3
⚫️ The industry is still heavily male-dominated, often driven by big egos
⚫️ There’s still a stereotype that women are “worse” at tech
⚫️ The best way to break it: ask questions, learn fast, and stay hands-on
⚫️ Advice for newcomers: don’t wait until you feel 100% ready
⚫️ Another key factor is networking
⚫️ And the most important professional skill, according to the team, is storytelling
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This is a classic Western positioning play: human stories + diversity narrative = more trust and visibility
⚫️ It supports TON’s Western expansion strategy: LinkedIn presence, values-driven messaging, polished packaging
⚫️ In Web3, the best code isn’t enough — ecosystems win when they can tell a story people actually buy into

💎 L2 in TON Connect code: Tetrachain surfaced
The community spotted mentions of an L2 network called Tetrachain inside TON Connect’s code. A dedicated subdomain http://tetra.tonviewer.com/ is already live — which looks like early infrastructure prep, not just a random placeholder.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ TON Connect code contains references to an L2 named Tetrachain
⚫️ A separate subdomain is already set up: http://tetra.tonviewer.com/
⚫️ No sharding yet, and minimum validator stake is 1 TON (signals early-stage/test parameters)
⚫️ Asset transfers likely rely on a trustless bridge — around 100,000 TON has reportedly been minted through it
⚫️ Tetrachain is framed as a TVM-based L2, targeting high-performance execution (stablecoins, DeFi, AI, privacy)
⚫️ TON remains the native gas token, with no new asset introduced
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ If this is real scaling work, TON gets another “fast lane” without breaking Telegram-native UX
⚫️ No new token = less dilution and less hype noise — rare for L2 narratives
⚫️ A 1 TON stake + no sharding screams “early stage,” where bridge/validator security becomes the main risk
⚫️ If the bridge is already minting meaningful volume, this isn’t just theory — something is moving behind the scenes

💎 AlphaTON no longer “alpha”? Nasdaq hints at delisting risk
AlphaTON Capital (NASDAQ: $ATON) has received a listing deficiency notice: the share price has been under $1 for too long. The irony is that at the same time the company is boosting its engineering bench with hires tied to the TON ecosystem.
🔝 What’s happening
⚫️ Nasdaq issued a deficiency notice over the minimum bid price: the stock has been below $1 for 30+ consecutive trading days
⚫️ Shares have been trading around $0.39 — far from the compliance threshold
⚫️ The company has 180 days to regain compliance — deadline is August 31, 2026
⚫️ To clear the issue, the stock must close above $1 for at least 10 consecutive trading days
⚫️ If that fails, a second 180-day extension is possible — but not guaranteed
⚫️ In parallel, AlphaTON announced Aleksej Pashchenko and Andrei Pfau as senior engineers (Pashchenko is a senior engineer at Tonkeeper)
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ A Nasdaq notice increases delisting risk — which hits liquidity, confidence, and market access
⚫️ The $1 level becomes a hard “gravity point”: get above it and hold, or expect corporate actions like a reverse split
⚫️ Engineering hires may signal execution, but markets care about price and deadlines — and the clock is already ticking
⚫️ For the TON crowd, it’s a reminder: public “proxy plays” around the ecosystem can be extremely volatile

💎 Telegram Bots — Real-Time Replies
Pavel Durov shared a key upgrade for chat bots: they can now deliver answers in real time. It sounds small on paper, but it’s a huge UX boost — especially in the AI era.
🔝 What changed
⚫️ All Telegram chat bots can now stream responses in real time instead of sending one final message after a delay
⚫️ Perfect for AI assistants: text appears as it’s generated, so the bot feels “alive”
⚫️ Better UX for support flows, automation, search, learning, and any conversation-first product
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Telegram is making bots feel native in speed and usability — that directly improves retention and conversions
⚫️ For Mini Apps and services built around Telegram, this unlocks smoother, faster user journeys
⚫️ UI competition is brutal in the AI era — and Telegram is clearly accelerating its ecosystem
