Could $TON be the next big thing in this cycle?
Developed by Telegram, The Open Network is gearing up to bring retail users into the crypto space. With over 900M users on Telegram, $TON has a massive untapped market.
TON just announced Tether integration, making it possible to send and receive USDT directly through Telegram. This could usher in a wave of new crypto users.
Forget complicated interfaces! TON tackles Web3’s UX issue by integrating directly with Telegram. Transactions happen in the background, so users might not even realize they’re using blockchain technology.
TON TVL surged nearly 10x in just two months, and it boasts around 1.7M active wallets on the blockchain.
What’s your take on $TON?
🔥 - Bullish
💔- Bearish
⚡️ Harness the best of both worlds with smart hybrid technologies.
This web3 infrastructure solution is designed to empower developers to blend decentralization into their apps without losing the advantages of centralized systems. [AD]

🗣️ Concerns around Liquid Staking Tokens
Let’s explore what’s happening with Renzo Protocol, a Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) and Strategy Manager for EigenLayer.
Acting as the interface to the EigenLayer ecosystem, Renzo Protocol secures Actively Validated Services and offers a higher yield than $ETH staking.
Renzo announced its token $REZ and airdrop plan on April 23, alongside Binance Launchpool, comprising 2.5% of the total $REZ supply.
⚠️ The depeg incident raised eyebrows as Renzo’s LRT - ezETH experienced a sell-off on DEX, with prices dropping to around $700 before recovering.
🛑 Renzo earmarked 10% of $REZ for the airdrop, with Binance stakers gaining a selling advantage over those claiming the airdrop later. Insider trading concerns and airdrop ratio criticisms have surfaced within the community.
🧐 Community members have raised questions about the clarity of Renzo’s token allocation pie chart, highlighting potential design flaws and inconsistencies. Is this a simple mistake or something more?
A significant portion of tokens is allocated to investors and the team, raising concerns about centralization.
What's your take on the chart?
🌚 - The chart was intentionally designed this way.
❤️ - It was simply a designer's mistake.
🚀 Can $TON's skyrocketing growth last?
The integration of Toncoin within the Telegram app could further increase its price as user engagement grows. However, the concentration of Toncoin ownership may be a concern for individual investors with the top 10 holders controlling 60%+ and 50% of supply unlocked.
