⚡️ Millionaire crypto-scammer.
A new scam is a well forgotten old scam. A year ago, on almost all channels about TON there were posts about 69-gb wallet hack. For those who don't know, I wrote a whole post about it and did my own investigation. In short, 4 million TON were stolen from there.
A year later, I want to tell you how it really happened, without speculation. I had the information much earlier, but I was asked not to share it publicly while the investigation and legal work was going on. So, today Meta writes to me that a man came to him ready to buy DFC for $1M and asked me to be a guarantor. They've even done one deal already for $11K. I agreed and that hacking incident immediately popped up in my head. It seems that scammers realized that there are valuable tokens on TON that can be used to pull off a similar scheme.
The scheme is as follows. A person who is ready to buy your token (TON or any other token) on OTC (off-exchange) writes. Communicates very convincingly and asks to make a test exchange for $11K, and he sends ether or bitcoin first.
After a successful transaction, he continues to communicate and for the main part of the transaction he asks you to find a guarantor, and even goes to the meeting that it can be your friend. At the same time he assures you that he knows Justin and Steve from TON Foundation, that they can vouch for him if anything.
Then you find a guarantor whom you trust and you have less and less doubts, because the person is yours, so there can be no deception. You create a general chat in Telegram and get acquainted. Then he begins to ask, and what social networks you have, Twiiter or Discord? And when you say, yes, I have both, he suggests switching to Discord, because it is more convenient to conduct transactions there, and you can call if necessary. You agree, because there is a $1M deal at stake and the guarantor is on your side. And here is where the most interesting part begins.
He throws a link to the invitation in Discord, but he does it very cleverly. He throws your guarantor one link (disguised), and he throws you another link. When you join the server, you have them fully synchronized. You see him and your guarantor, and your guarantor sees him and you. All messages are duplicated instantly and it's completely indistinguishable. So there we are again, three of us chatting (just in two different chat rooms) and it's transaction time.
First they ask you to make a test transfer for 1 TON, so that you don't make a wallet mistake and make a check that all wallets are yours, and then test transactions with tokens, also for a small amount. Everything is ok, all transactions confirmed, everyone confirms (in two different chats) and everyone is ready to transfer the principal. However, there is already a change of wallets in the chat rooms, but your guarantor confirms everything and you have no doubts.
Next carefully. Man buyer, as usual, is ready to transfer the entire amount first and does it. He transfers and throws the confirmation in the chat. And in another chat, there is also a confirmation from you that the funds have been received and you can send tokens. And your guarantor sends real tokens to him. Curtain.
This is how $8M was stolen from one of the first miners, right from under the nose of a TON Foundation member who was the guarantor of this transaction, and then it was all exposed as a wallet hack. The attacker managed to withdraw almost all of it to other networks and was never found.
This scheme works on all blockchains and there were many articles about it in the media (here is an example), but because of the large sums, no one publicizes it much. It's a shame to lose millions of dollars.
Judging by the scammer's wallet, DFC and JETTON almost fell for it today. But Vudi saved the day. The kangaroo cartel is on the lookout.

🐱 Hollow Cryptobot.
It's been a month since the xRocket bug that appeared after a failed update. I remember channels like Russian TON and TON Base (who are now promoting GRAM) were snickering and saying how good CryptoBot is and it's not being hacked. However, even back then a couple of things came up about it, which allowed to withdraw all the money from accounts, and now another bug with the publication of contests.
Overnight Gudgeon found the bug where he was not looking for it. He wrote about it on his channel. The essence of the bug is that when you create a contest in CryptoBot, you can publish it in channels where CryptoBot is in the admin, even if the creator of the channel is against it. This was also confirmed by CryptoBot CEO in his chat.
This is what he did. First he published the contest in CryptoBot News and TON Base channel along with his channel, and then when people saw that, they also started to publish them everywhere else. For example on my channel.
After a while CryptoBot did a "self-destruct" and first took away all rights and then removed himself from the channel admins.
Rulon (aka EmelyanenkoK, aka Kirill Emelyanenko) has already said that he is a freak, and now he has started to hint at people in shoulder straps. Developers screw up, and Peskar is to blame. 🤷
I think the cryptobot was lucky, because Peskar was immediately burned in the main news channel and did everything for the sake of a joke and fun, but any other attacker could have created a scam channel with airdrops or something else, and placed the prank in the major channels. And then people would have lost a lot of money because of the functionality that was available in the bot.
So + rep to Gudgeon and - rep to Cryptobot. Use xRocket.

Telegram. TON. Notcoin.
I've been in the ecosystem for quite a while now and I can say that all these projects have the same trend and tactic of attracting people and investors.
Let's start with the numbers game. Telegram everywhere positions itself as a messenger with 800M users, but in fact, we know that they are Indians, bots and other junk. There are approximately 100M live ones, but that doesn't stop it from comparing itself to WeChat or WhatsApp. Notcoin similarly shows everywhere a figure of attracted users in a short period of time (now more than 23M) and compares itself with projects like ChatGPT, Stepn or Axie Infinity.
Also Pavel Durov has always said and still says that Telegram hasn't spent a penny on advertising, that everything grows organically because of a good product. Notcoin similarly states that it has achieved results without a single dollar spent on advertising. To be honest, I believe the Telegram story because Durov got a lot of publicity for blocking it in the Russian Federation, but not so much for Notcoin. It is advertised in social networks' targeting ads, streamers, ticktockers, media and other also write about it in the advertising message. I don't think that a regular clicker would be publicized for the sake of a referral, for which you get "nothing". But the advertising was certainly not without the support of TON Foundation, The Open Platform and even Telegram (which removed some restrictions).
Also the TON blockchain. It, unlike its brothers, advertised on social networks and various platforms like (VK, Avito), but also keeps telling that it has 5M users and by 2028 will have 500M users from Telegram audience. But should we believe such figures?
According to statistics, there are 1.3M active wallets in TON now, those are those who have made at least one outgoing transaction, but according to my feelings there are less than 100K live users in the ecosystem, and that's thanks to Notcoin vacuum cleaner, people from Asia and DFC team with active marketing.
But we are growing, slowly, but we are growing... And I hope beautiful numbers and this way of attracting will work not only for the CIS audience. But will the rest of us believe it?!

GRAM token from the first miners
The $GRAM token has appeared in TON, which is mined through mining. Now it would be 2024 to mine tokens on the TON blockchain, and call them grams, but come on.
Developer Oleg Oskolsky decided to stand out and came up with the idea to mine $GRAM token using the same scheme as Pavel Durov once did. He mined the token, transferred them to givers and wrote instructions on how to mine it. On January 26, a link gramcoin.org appeared, which describes how and what to do.
But since it is unattainable for a simple user, the developers, who are in their environment, instantly (literally in 1 hour) dismantled all GRAM from the largest givers. The result can be seen here gusarich.github.io/givers-monitoring/, at the very bottom. And there, as it was with TON, there were the cheapest GRAMs and for every 0.039 TON developers got 100,000 GRAMs ($342 at the moment).
Then, in order to make it not just numbers, those who mined, added liquidity and a bit steamed to show that mining is profitable, and the tester as usual (who did not read how he throws with subscriptions, you can reread), began to call people in his private room, where he allegedly posted the code, how to mine GRAM.
Even after a while there was a site that asks you to enter a seed-phrase from your wallet after which will start mining GRAM. Thus the developers apparently decided to form an idea in users that on third-party sites you can enter a seed-phrase (never do that!), which in the future will be easier for scammers.
The next day Tester named GRAM the most popular token (apparently among his friends), but I still believe that the most popular token on the TON blockchain is now ARBUZ. And 120 subscribers in the GRAM channel are no match for 280,000 ARBUZers.
And now everything is repeating exactly like with TON, when unknown (yeah, yeah) developers smiled 98% of all TON and now all users of TON blockchain suffer from it, because at pumps they are dumped into the market, validators are all under control of TON Foundation, and circulating TON in the market is at best 100M. By the way, Oleg and Seryoga Tester were among the "first miners" who made the first millions of TON, so it is not difficult for them to pour tens of thousands of TON into liquidity with their shield.
Now those who get in and pay TON for mining are puffing and trying to get more, and the first miners are sitting drinking tea and waiting for the time when they can pour more into the glass. And even more offensive will be those who buy GRAM at $0.006, when the cost of production is 100 times lower, even on the most inefficient gyver.
I wouldn't be surprised if people will make millions of transactions because of the hype, and TON Foundation will boast about the growth of activity in the network and say thank you for such a wonderful project. It's classic.

DFC. Story in 2 months.
Chickens are counted in the fall, but in 2 months on the TON blockchain you can already earn reputation and fame. This is what happened with the DFC project and its creator Meta.
A bit of background. At the end of November, DFC token appeared, which nobody knew about and it started to grow wildly and give unreal ics. I told about it on my channel. After that, I started to be looked at as a "great advertiser", who started pamping tokens through his audience, and there was a lot of hate both in my direction and in the direction of the DFC project. Many people turned away and blocked me in their channels.
To keep things honest and open, I wrote a post in which I disclaimed responsibility and suggested that those who did get knocked up by me should fix themselves. A month later, the DFC token was worth $1.
Now that 2 months have passed, many people stopped considering DFC something bad and started to look at the project differently. Meta (the author of the project) managed to acquire the whole DeLab team with its products, launch a game with token farming at 200%, invest in $KINGY and $ARBUZ, create Betty bets, put DFC on exchanges and make a lot of noise on the Internet.
Now DFC is mentioned by dozens of media, crypto-bloggers, and Meta continues to support the projects of the TON ecosystem. Because of his support a lot of third-party projects, Telegram channels appear, because he has already invested about $1M according to my calculations. Projects are trying to integrate his endeavors and move with him.
Meanwhile, the DFC token is worth $2.3, and was $0.16 at the time of the hit. Meta gathers thousands of people on his broadcasts and has built a large community around him.
Many channels have started to "re-brand" and support DFC alliance projects. We'll see what happens next, but so far things are developing very quickly and beautifully. Do you think Meta has already become a hero of the TON blockchain or not yet?

I often started traveling to conferences and I always find like-minded people there to talk about TON and projects on it. So, no matter who I approach, everyone knows Marat from TON. And that's what they call him 🙂
I don't know how he does it, but everyone really knows him. He has made his mark in a lot of projects on TON, in many he was and still is a co-founder.
Now he has started actively hosting his eponymous channel "Marat Minkin" with author essays about technology, TON blockchain and Telegram. He also regularly hosts AMA sessions and promotes himself on YouTube.
My main competitor in terms of fame on TON, but we communicate well, so we can support 👌

Remember I wrote about Jackpot, where you have to throw a TON to 5 people and the smart contract will distribute the winnings randomly? So they have a "Battles" section where you can compete 1 on 1 ⚔️
You create a battle, throw in a TON and wait for your opponent. I played around and everything works very fast and like clockwork. I lost one battle and won another.
There is now a battle for 500 TON for the bravest, I wonder if anyone will risk it?
Let me remind you that the smart contract is open source and on Github. Anyone who knows how to code can check that everything is fair and the distribution is random.
I created 3 battles - go?

One missed
I've spent all of two years replying to everyone who private messaged me and trying to help. But lately there are so many messages that they take up all my free time. I even recently in the privacy settings made that new, unknown to me users, immediately in the archive went to the archive, because I no longer output the stream of messages. After that it became easier, but it is still difficult.
Many people have even become offended that I do not read chats, but they just do not realize that there are dozens of them and they have 3000+ messages every day. I try to read, because it's the main source of information about what's going on at TON, but lately I've been neglecting it as well.
I even considered making a chat room for TON newbies to answer all questions there instead of in private, but decided that would be even worse. So I'd like to remind you that there is a Kingyru Private channel chat where I dwell the most and answer all incoming questions.
Now there are just over 500 people there, but soon it will be less, so your question will definitely not be ignored. And those to whom I have not answered, wait for the queue, I will definitely answer, if you do not ask me to "give you a watermelon".

Staking from TON Raffles
The Earn section on tonraffles.app is finally up and running. They have launched a fixed annual percentage staking in the format: deposit token A - earn token B.
The launch of their staking didn't go quite smoothly and the smart contract didn't calculate the interest correctly, but the guys quickly corrected it and now everything is okay. The first test subject was $SCALE token, apparently because earlier $RAFF was the first to participate in the farming activity with DeDust.io.
The terms of staking are simple, you deposit up to $500 $SCALE from one wallet and get 1000% annualized interest in the $RAFF token. I put in the maximum and now I get $RAFF.
In addition to staking, TON Raffles has tons of tools to help grow the TON ecosystem. For example, after the arrival of DFC, the Lock section where you can lock your tokens has become very popular. There are already hundreds of millions of dollars lying on the platform's smart contracts. Thanks in part to such tools, we see a boom of tokens on TON, and the price of the $RAFF token is growing accordingly.
I am negotiating the launch of staking on $ARBUZ, I think we will see it there very soon 🍉

Floor on the NFT kingyTON has grown
With a lot of attention to the channel and my personality, and the advent of a utility that gives admin rights and removes restrictions in various chat rooms, people started buying themselves NFTs from the kingyTON collection.
Experienced cryptans immediately did the math, because 1 NFT = 5,000 KINGY (~$1400) when calculating the rating, and the legendary one is 10,000 KINGY (~$2,800). If you look at the current price, it is clearly cheaper and more profitable to take NFT for admin than to buy a token. This is the reason for the growth.
Let me remind you that legendary NFTs describe any significant event from the TON project, and there are 305 NFTs in the collection now. This means that they are not enough for all comers and there will be a shortage. Of course, there are flippers (hoarders) who are buying up now to sell more expensive, but in time they will be gone.
Now there is an auction for the legendary NFT associated with the arrival of TON-20 and the slowdown of the network for 4 days. The price so far is 111 TON, but you have to take into account that it counts as 10,000 KINGY.
I would also like to remind you about the existence of two chat rooms, 25+ and 100+, which are possible to get into if you get a certain amount. For example, 2 legendary NFTs and 5,000 KINGY give you access to the 25+ chat, or 1 regular NFT and 20,000 KINGY, and so on. To find out if you are allowed into chat, you can use the bot @stalkingybot by linking your wallet via the /connect command. If you have reached a certain amount, the bot will offer you to join the chat.
The KINGY ecosystem is evolving and the channel, as a major asset, continues to grow in the number of subscribers. More information about KINGY can be found at kingy.wtf.

Stuck money in @wallet
The TON Status channel released a post about an incident that happened to @wallet, but two days before, many people had already started their investigation into the incident, following a post in Tears of Boltosha.
What happened. One of the @wallet wallets that held and still holds 336,783 TON (≈$808,280) just choked with transactions.
The @wallet developers ignored the message that the gas limit, for these types of wallets, is set at 1 TON, which means there is a limit to how many old requests can be cleared per tx. If the number of overdue requests is higher, the contract will stall.
This is what happened. At one point, the transaction fee price rose as high as 37 TON. This caused all TONs inside to be blocked. Even though it wasn't all of @wallet's money, losing it would cost them a lot of money, not only in funds, but also in reputation. The Open Platform (TOP) team is close to the TON Foundation and asked them to do something. It was suggested to temporarily increase the gas limit for one wallet (theirs specifically) by a vote of the validators.
This from one point of view shows that TON Foundation is going out of its way to meet the projects of the TON ecosystem, but on the other hand, if someone else, not @wallet, had it broken - would they be as responsive? Somewhat doubtful.
Voting is scheduled for January 18 and it seems that @wallet will get off easy and it won't become a precedent, after all @wallet is the face of cooperation between Telegram and TON Foundation. It would be stupid to dirty him up because of 336K TON lost.

🙂 KINGY ecosystem channels and chats
Due to the growing community, I want to tell you about KINGY ecosystem channels and chats and their levels.
1. Channels. There are 4 channels:
- @investkingyru. This is the main channel from December 2021 and covers TON blockchain news, but with the author's personal opinion.
- @investkingyru_en. The same channel, but in English. A translator translates posts from the Russian-language channel and publishes them in the channel.
- Kingyru private - private channel where I publish short posts and important information/news/opinions/rumors.
- Life V - a channel about the author's life. I write my thoughts and life events in it. I live a TON, but private life also exists.
2. Chats. There are a bit more of them.
- Investkingyru channel chat. Here everything is simple, it is a chat channel, which has an anti-spam system and allows you to write only if you have NFT, Telegram Premium or 100 KINGY. There is also a chat of the English channel, but it is not very popular and the chat of the channel "Life In", but they are purely for writing comments.
- private channel chat. A chat where a lot of important things are discussed, not only about our project, but about the TON project in general. There are even legends about it already.
- KINGY Elite 25+" chat, for those who have 25K+ $KINGY on their wallet. There discusses more significant events of TON projects, and also there is a bot, in which all addresses of people known on TON are filled and we follow their transactions. Sometimes the transactions reveal good insights that pay for themselves if you go in first. For example DFC, chat participants bought DFC at 100 times the current price. After the price increase due to buying watermeloners, 12 people have flown out in the last week. We are waiting for the newbie whales.
- KINGS KINGY 100+ chat, for those who have 100K+ $KINGY on their wallet. There are only 7 people there, but the revelations are already present 🦝.
To get into the chats "25+" and "100+" you need to launch the bot @stalkingybot and press /connect. It will check if you have $KINGY in your wallet and give you a link to join.
3. Twitter / CoinMarketCap
- Twitter Investkingyru. I try to keep it as much as I can to attract English-speaking audience. The content there is a bit different from the content in the channels, but the platform requires it. I try to attract strong Influencers and investors.
- CoinMarketCap. There is also content there, and also for its audience. But now I have set up publication from Twitter and it is easier to lead the community there. Some posts get 20K+ views.

Have you seen the @superwhale bot? I think they've discovered the blue ocean. It's lottery and betting all in one.
Here's the deal. You're given 10 matches and you have to guess the result. If you guess, you get a prize depending on how many of the 10 you guessed. Participation is only 1 TON, payment via @wallet.
I'm not a soccer player at all, but to try it out, I poked randomly and paid 1 TON. A week later I got back 5 TON, because I hit the bull's-eye!) Not a jackpot of course, but it's okay too. The jackpot by the way is already over 5,000 TON.
Today I have thrown 1 TON more, again on random. Waiting for the results 🌝

⚡️ STON scam hamsters?
Lately on DEX STON.fi there appear noname tokens, which gain millions of volume per day. Moreover, these tokens are fictitious. Let's take the example of the most notorious MORFEY, BUFFY, sTONks, TOGE, TBOT and TINU.
The names are not chosen randomly, Morphey is Nikolai Durov's cat, Buffy is Pavel Durov's favorite dog. The rest are just about other crypto projects, but with the prefix T - because in TON.
So the creation of them starts with empty wallets, replenishment of which comes either from exchanges or ETH bridge. Holders' wallets, which supposedly buy these coins, also appear after the creation of the coin and are replenished in a similar way, so that the origin of funds can not be traced.
And so they start buying and selling noname tokens and trading them among themselves. A typical holder of such tokens looks like this: a person got up in the morning, made $5,000 and decided to invest in an incomprehensible token that doesn't even have a Telegram channel or a Twitter account. Or it's like this. You all do that, don't you?
Thus, STON was gaining over a million dollars in volume per token per day, and then the price was dumped and all over again. People who got into these tokens at random were left at a broken trough and tried to trade their losses on their own.
It feels like STON, realizing that it is losing to DeDust.io on all fronts, is starting to play an unfair game. Users are already turning away from the constantly lagging interface, the problem of displaying pTON wrapper in explorers and wallets, long balance updates and a bunch of other things, and here they are trying to cheat in metrics.
This is clearly not the DEX that TON blockchain users deserve. It's nice to see wallets, where at first they make a couple of transactions on STON, and then a person realizes that it's unbearable to use and goes to a normal DEX - DeDust.io.

🐌 Light servers are going down again
I won't stop saying that the infrastructure and services on top of the TON blockchain are not ready for mass-adoption from the word go. The test of strength started with the arrival of TON20 and doesn't end to this day.
It's crypto summer and alt season in TON right now. Every project is doing their tokens, minte and distribution, eirdrops, minte and burns. And that's all through the first month of 2024. Plus now there's another way to get tokens - mining, which also clogs the blockchain with meaningless transactions.
To accomplish all of this, there are light-servers that serve to send requests and receive a response from the TON blockchain. Many projects, after TON20, began to raise their own light servers, and some remained on public ones. So developers to mine the same GRAM use public light servers (there are 18 of them now) and thus clog them with their messages and projects that also use them just stop. They go looking for other public servers and also clog them up. All in a circle.
As I said earlier, it's expensive to set up a light server (the cost of maintaining a regular one is $100 to $1,000 per month, and you need at least two) and that's why there's a bottleneck in the blockchain. A lot of projects suffer from this.
In addition, someone started DDOSing TON services heavily. It started in the days of DFC ethers, when a thousand users wanted to make exchanges on DEXs and couldn't because someone was DDOSing them, and now users can't even see their transactions in Tonkeeper. According to some information, this is a group of people looking for vulnerabilities in TON services and then asking for ransom for information about them.
Bottom line, the TON ecosystem has a very weak infrastructure of services on top of the blockchain that can barely process 75 transactions per second. But now at least transactions are not stuck as they were in early December, which is a relief.
Let me remind you that the TON Foundation has allocated $2.8M for infrastructure grants this year, and aren't there any teams that are ready to make a good indexer and explorer (no offense to dton.io), make DDOS protection or deploy a large number of public light servers for developers and make a tool for renting a channel for requests (RPS)? But tens of thousands of dollars are flying to other projects like re:doubt.
The closer we get to mass adopsion, the closer we get to service shutdowns....

🦍 Referral systems on TON
I usually don't feel much about referrals, but when you start making a product, you realize that this scheme works just fine for attracting new audience and it's a mistake not to use it. So here I want to advise you the TOP referral projects on TON at the moment, which allow you to earn purely on attracting people, without investment:
- xRocket, the best bot for chatting and working with TON blockchain tokens. The referral system works perfectly, the bot is constantly upgraded in terms of security and functionality, thus attracting an audience.
- Cryptobot, a bot for working with TON and other blockchains. Rich p2p market and good referral system.
- Whale, a casino on Telegram. Bring a referral and get 10% for your referral and 1% for each second level referral. Every month they have a promotion, who will invite more referrals with a prize pool of up to 1000 TON.
- Watermelon clicker and Notcoin clicker, projects that have a lot of hours spent in the game, but the watermelon has already had a drop of $15K and will be even more in a while, and Notcoin may have a drop (if not, they will be destroyed by their own community). From attachments only wiped fingers 🤣
- TON Poker, a poker game directly in Telegram. Very popular game among TON community. You can earn up to 30% of the rake from the brought player.
- Arrakken Planet, DFC ecosystem game. For referrals is given a part of the game commission, without taking away gold from the players themselves. You can withdraw directly to your wallet in $DFC tokens.
- Well, and you can earn money on projects from @community_bot, if you become an active member of the community TON. Now there are a lot of quests within The Open League, for which they give SBT achives, and almost every quest requires inviting 5 people. It's already announced that they will give you some TON for completing the quests.
In all these projects participation in 2 clicks, you start the bot and you have already invited a person, you don't even need to leave Telegram.
This post is mainly for those who write me in person messages about how to earn TON and watermelons without investing. But it will also be useful for experienced crypto users and channel authors.

Not a day goes by without a fairlaunch at TON Raffles. This time the guys in spirit and fun were inspired by Jason Statham's quotes since VK and decided to make a meme-token dedicated to him - $STATHAM.
They want to unite a huge community, those who write funny comments on his page and make the project noticeable not only in the Russian-speaking segment, but all over the world.
If you eat the same thing every day, you get bored. But when you constantly try new things, it is always delicious (c) Statham.
And so it is with the tokens on TON. If the guys can entice everyone who commented under their pics, they'll have a strong community of fun and creative people. When they were deleting my channel, I got in on their scheme before I even knew about them. So it turns out I'm part of their community 😂
All team tokens are locked for a year and will be allocated every month in equal proportions. The team has already implemented such token as MMT and has a channel of the same name MMT - Making Money TON, for which they allocate 1.5% of the total number of tokens, and their channel @Statham_TON.
If you plan to buy, here's the link tonraffles.app/jetton/fairlaunch/STATHAM. They've already raised over 7,000 TON in 24 hours, with 9 more days to go.
Also remember that after listing on the exchange the price can fall as well as rise, so do not buy the whole amount at once, it is better to wait for the listing on DeDust.io and then go in.
Theory is when you know everything, but nothing works. Practice is when everything works, but nobody knows why. We combine theory and practice - nothing works and no one knows why! (Statham.

Proton Jetton
The music industry on TON after the arrival of DFC has been pumped up a lot, almost every day some tracks are released. However, newcomers do not know that the very first musician on the blockchain was Mr. Proton (Oleg).
He made tracks, released videos, tried his hand at different directions and genres, published on channels and gained an audience. Now he has released a 61-minute video about himself called "The Story of One Startup", where he talks about his life from the very diapers (it's better to watch it from 11:35).
In general, it's funny to watch the life of a simple man from Kemerovo, whom you've never seen once. As if he kept all his videos for the last 15 years for this occasion. The man tried himself in different spheres and something nowhere particularly succeeded. He fell for pyramid schemes, network marketing and carried money to them by taking out loans. "I thought I had hit rock bottom, but it was a double bottom," he says.
The video is more about supporting his family and helping Oleg grow, but it's still interesting to see how the dream of making music empowers and energizes Oleg. At 51:21 in the video he thanks me for coming back to TON, but I have little to do with it, it's all his drive to create, to make music.
He launched a firelaunch at TON Raffles and has already raised 5,000 TON. With one day left, I decided to support for his work with the community, the voiceovers and the fun he is creating.
You can purchase the PROTON token at tonraffles.app/jetton/fairlaunch/PROTON.
After the timer ends, there will be a listing on DeDust.io.
Hopefully the token will help him close the minimum requirements and he will continue to walk seven steps towards his dream. Atata ururu.

Listing of tokens on centralized exchanges
All the chats are asking "when is KINGY or ARBUZ on MEXC?" and it's starting to get beyond me. As if listing on MEXC should necessarily have every token on the roadmap.
I am generally neutral towards MEXC, but many Influencers started to call the exchange a dump because all tokens go there to be listed and end their history there. And in general, what makes everyone think that listing on centralized exchanges is useful for a token?
"My advice here is also to have a proper launch plan. Without interesting momentum at the time of listing, the listing is very likely to create 0 volume + dump. Many people consider listing as a liquidation event. Be aware. Listings can definitely amplify your work, but without strong fundamentals + marketing (strong narrative), the listing in and of itself does not create miracles." - Steve Yun, President of TON Foundation.
In my private channel I told that in April the second The Gateway is planned, where there will be a lot of announcements, which means we will most likely hear about the opening of OKX, Bybit, Kucoin exchanges for tokens on TON and then we can think about it.
So when you ask me when the listing is - do not wait for an answer. It will be exactly when you need it. In the meantime, trade on DEX and xRocket.

Will there be token support from TON Foundation? And is it necessary?
I came across an interesting cultural acceleration program from the Avalanche blockchain. A foundation that is in charge of blockchain, like our TON Foundation, has announced that they are starting to buy community tokens. They realized that active tokens have large communities, great engagement, and even a culture of their own. On the TON blockchain, for example, you can take $BOLT with its memes and tons of channels, $ARBUZ with fun and mass-adoption, $DFC with expensive marketing or $KINGY with authored content, and so on. All tokens combine to develop the TON ecosystem.
So Avalanche Foundation has decided to support and invest in tokens created by the community. The minimum requirements to support the coins are:
- availability of a whitepaper - not many people write on TON, and for nothing.
- technical audit of the contract - on TON this is not required if the contract is standard.
- fairlaunch - on TON only once it happened with token $RAFF.
- >2K holders - everything seems to be pretty good on TON.
- >1M capitalization - only 2 projects on TON fit this condition SCALE and DFC and both are on DeDust.io.
- >100K daily trading volume for 2 weeks - easy here if you have a listing on CEX.
- >1 month of project existence. It doesn't seem to be hard either.
..and a couple of other simple conditions for distribution to large holders.
So, what if the TON Foundation also comes up with conditions under the TON blockchain and starts buying back some tokens and promoting them under a similar program? They would take the tokens, pour them into liquidity on STON.fi, pour them themselves and make the community coins active and significant in the TON blockchain. Not like now, pour it yourself, arrange for listing, they will think about it. And then also arrange for it to appear in @wallet, which is not a sure thing at all.
I know that some employees of The Open Platform and TON Foundation bought community tokens, but it was their personal initiative. And Avalanche Foundation has a formal capital allocation to blockchain tokens.
I think this is a winning initiative and other blockchains will start to adopt it to show that foundations care about the projects that are developing in their ecosystem. It strengthens the bond between the community and the fund. But for TON, this seems like a wet dream.

📊 Pumps are over, now it's steady growth
Many people are waiting for the next pumps from Meta, but I think that for the past two months many people got tired of them. Sleepless nights, constant monitoring of charts and nerves, why do you need it when there are assets that just grow organically.
Now there are three such assets: SCALE, DFC, KINGY. If we look at the monthly charts of these tokens, we will see a green straight line up. Tokens have projects, products, and a large community behind them, and it cannot be otherwise.
Now Notcoin continues to "pour" people into the TON ecosystem thanks to tasks and they get involved and buy these three tokens. Plus, major Telegram channels and media outlets are also getting involved and publishing articles about TON and its tokens, such as Durov's Code. It seems to me that TON is now being watched by a large number of people from the CIS, just like in the days of Pavel Durov's post, after which advertising was everywhere, Avito, VK, targeting and vacuuming just about everyone.
Now the authors of channels and projects have the main task - to land people and interest them. Some people are interested in X and earnings, some in content, some in technology and development, and some in memes.
If this continues, the first quarter of 2024 will be the most profitable for those who bought tokens, and if TON Foundation also implements Jetton Bridge, according to the Roadmap, the largest inflow of investments into the TON ecosystem may take place. We can only hope and wait.

5 minutes to the end of the auction for the legendary NFT of the kingyTON collection. NFT reflects an event that happened to the TON ecosystem during the mint inscriptions.
As a reminder, it counts for 10,000 KINGY when calculating the rating and you get 100 festival watermelons in the watermelon festival.
Prices for the legendary NFT now start at 480 TON and the last bid in the auction is 280 TON.
You can participate by following this link: https://getgems.io/collection/EQBubDxfH1FK8lK-9Cg3vs6jWKYwfrHq-an_KCrqupjjT3Mu/EQArdcZQpuHzZfQYUKh9jNNydRdfIDksnsWZoXcbw8132QBl

🔝 Mem-coins account for more than 80% of the trading volume on TON
Such an article was released by The Open Platform (TOP), which had misleading data and after heathing from the community, the article was removed. Well, I'll write it as it is then.
Tokens on TON, for the last month and really became very popular and the volume of trading on exchanges is mainly because of them. Many tokens appear, live one day and then disappear, taking liquidity along with the money and hopes of investors. But should we count such tokens in the sample? I think not. Moreover, I've already written a post about how STON are inflating their own trading volume and that this is unfair competition with DeDust.io.
Let's first understand what a meme coin is, because TOP referred to them as DFC, JETTON, KINGY, which is a categorically wrong statement. A meme-token is a coin that originated from some meme. For example, watermelons came from a meme about me stealing watermelons from stores, bolt because of a collection with furniture and because it can be put on wallets, and so on. So to claim that 80% of the coins on TON are meme coins is incorrect.
If we take the volume of traded tokens, mem-coins are unlikely to occupy 80% of the market, because there are only ARBUZ (the most popular and HYIP), BOLT and DHD. But all three are not listed on STON.fi. So where would STON.fi get such a volume? That's right, only from noname tokenization. If you look at the re:doubt study, you'll see that all the tokens that were scrambled were on STON, using the same scheme, hence the high trading volume.
Watermelon community is the largest now and makes such a volume of trades that even some tokens on Solana can't afford it. And all that volume is on DeDust.io. Many watermeloners and Notcoin people don't even know about STON (and they don't need to).
The TOP article also lists JETTON as the token of the week. Do you agree? I don't. Do you know why they chose it? Because it is the most traded token on STON, while the others are purely on maintenance. And it's obviously not a meme token, as it was said in the article.
The meme token of the week is definitely ARBUZ. Well, you don't need to go to a fortune teller or re:doubt. It's not just a meme of the week, it's a meme of the month. Watermelon has been breaking records in TVL growth, trading volume and token price itself (+6666%) for 2 months in a row. But how could TOP write about a token that is not on STON, no way, why would they mention tokens from DeDust.io.
So the whole article, which was built only on the message "what a great exchange STON.fi is" turned out to be not only untrue, but a fatal mistake, showing once again the weakness in front of DeDust.io.

Typical mistakes of beginners when working with TON blockchain exchanges and tokens
Many newcomers to the TON ecosystem have problems and questions about how to deposit money on exchanges, how to transfer tokens between wallets, and so on. And many make the same mistakes that lead to loss of funds. Here are two of the most frequent ones:
1. sending tokens to @wallet. The wallet itself only works with three assets USDT, BTC, and TON. Inside @wallet there is a TON Space wallet that supports everything a regular wallet like Tonkeeper or Tonhub supports, but many people don't realize the difference. They go to @wallet, click "deposit", choose TON and throw tokens (for example $KINGY) to this address. But @wallet doesn't know how to work with them and it turns out that you send them to nothing. Then you go to support, say that your tokens are missing, that they didn't get there, and they tell you "Wallet doesn't support tokens, so it's impossible to credit and use them. We will look into the mechanics of returning tokens in the future". The future is not coming for more than a year, so you should not count on their return in the near future. Be more careful and don't send tokens to @wallet.
2. sending tokens to the exchange without MEMO - a text field or identifier, which is specified during the transfer. If you did not specify it when sending - the funds will not appear on your wallet and you will have to appeal to the exchange to resolve the issue. Most likely you will be helped, but it will take time. I have already written about it earlier.
There are more moments in which people lose control over their funds, but about them later. Be more careful and before sending a large amount, it is better to throw 1 TON or 1 token to make sure that all conditions are met and they reached, and then throw the full amount.

How do you understand the limit of what you want?
For example, you bought token A, and it's growing, it's growing every day. You seem to have a lot of it, and if you sell it now, you can buy yourself, I don't know, an iPhone. But you're sure that tomorrow it will be even more expensive and you don't sell it.
Then some time goes by and it turns out you were right, it's more expensive and you can buy a MacBook... But you're still sure it's going to be higher.
Then some time goes by and you're right again. It got even taller and you can now afford a car. 😫 But you don't buy it either... Then a house and so on....
I watch a lot of movies about robbers or thieves (from the latest series Berlin and Lupin) and here they also have this feeling all the time that there is always not enough, until they get caught.
And so it is here, you sell for cheap, then eat the feeling of lost profit (FOMO), and sell for expensive, you do not realize when. And many cryptans have it so that they don't know the boundaries and the point when to get out.
Many people assure (and I tell everyone so) that when buying a token, you should clearly understand the exit point and exit exactly at that point. That's it. But I myself sometimes fall for the feeling of "I'll sell a little bit more" 😁
So how to find this boundary? Maybe someone can tell me)

🍔 Free activities give you a chance to earn money
Free activities work well in TON, which allow you to make good money on chance and ignorance. After all, TON's audience is not cryptans, but regular people. Here are some examples.
- NFT collection Welcome to TON, which was launched in a community bot and all you had to do was scroll through the storis and mint yourself an NFT. Nothing more. Then we had the whole community in a private channel, trying to put those pixels together into a single picture, but we failed. And it just seemed like a bunch of crap. But after a while, the minimum price for one of these NFTs is $50. Just for watching the stories, you'd get $50.
- NFT collection Welcome to @Whale, same situation. A couple of subscriptions and stories and you already have a kitten, the price of which is now from $7. These NFTs also give privileges in @whale and among the owners of NFTs there are many contests, for example, recently raffled custom sneakers by Nike.
- The ARBUZ token check gave a nice financial boost to participants. The first check gave 7 watermelons for activation and 25% referral bonus. As of the current day, 7 watermelons = $30 and the festival is still going on at tonarbuz.fun and there are no details on the drop yet, but it's unlikely there will be pennies. Not that level.
And so on. Do not neglect opportunities to participate in activities for free (or almost free), maybe you will get something valuable for your time. In crypto this is called - gems.

🎓 TON Community Training
The TON community has grown tremendously over the past month due to active marketing campaigns and now holds on three pillars:
- Notcoin. As much as I don't like the idea, it works. People are inviting people, farming coins, joining communities, learning about the ecosystem's products, and slowly getting sucked in. Yes, maybe their expectation of making money from it is greatly exaggerated, but the fact that they are learning crypto basics through in-app quests is a fact.
- Watermelons. The Watermelon community developed separately, thanks to buying ads in major Telegram channels and fat xRocket checks, as well as the constant and rapid growth of the ARBUZ token price. Then an advertising campaign in Notcoin was added and now the watermelon community has doubled in size. People are educating themselves, starting to understand the difference between xRocket and Tonkeeper, learning what DEX is and so on.
- Meta. The man who pulled TON tokens out of the swamp. Now he organizes "rich airs" where thousands of people come, listen to crypto market news, buy tokens and just socialize.
Thanks to these three whales, the community has grown a lot TON. Albeit not the target audience, but everything can be taught. So, I advise newbies to explore my posts about TON and its tools:
- What is TON?
- Pros of the TON blockchain
- Author's description of TON
- History of ton.org domain
- How is the commission on TON calculated?
- TON wallets. What are they and what is it?
- How to make a beautiful wallet address?
- When did mining end? How is TON distributed over the network?

🚀 xRocket is alive
On the night of January 9 at about 02:05, an unpleasant event happened in the centralized xRocket wallet. The inputs that were made to xRocket were doubled. Anyone who made an input to the wallet, received the same token on the account, but twice. Withdrawals worked in normal mode.
So, the attacker started with 100 TON and saw that the balance was 200. He withdrew 200 TON, and started again, it turned out to be 400 TON. Then he repeated the process and withdrew again, and it was 600 TON.
He thought, what if he did it not with TON, but with ARBUZ and deposited 1,500 watermelons. And wow, they multiplied by two too. In the end, they brought out 3,000, then 6,000... At the same time, they brought out TON, with a total of 4,600 TON.
After 45 minutes, the attacker had 48K watermelons and 62K TON. If you consider that 1 watermelon = 1 TON, that works out to just over $250,000. The attacker sold the watermelons in a glass on xRocket, and then sold them on DeDust.io as well, thus discounting them to $1.8 per watermelon.
Thanks to the coordinated work of the xRocket community, the CEO's number was found and he turned off the outputs in the middle of the night, and later turned off the bot itself to sort out all the balances and restore functionality.
The attacker returned 47.5K watermelons and 50K TON to the xRocket account, leaving himself a reward of 12K TON, which he invested in various tokens of the TON network.
In addition to the attacker, there were several others who took advantage of this replenishment error and were also only hit with the ARBUZ token. Looks like an attack on ARBUZ, because at the current exchange rate, xRocket has $5.6M worth of ARBUZ tokens 🦍
xRocket looked at user transactions, restored missing balances, closed the bug and resumed operations.
That's how you could make a good amount of money overnight and crash the market. Thankfully, people are normal and didn't do that and returned the funds back to where they belonged.
xRocket is a reliable wallet, but mistakes happen to everyone. The developers are planning to work out the incident and develop the functionality of safe token storage in the near future.

🦘 KINGY token
NFT kingyTON I have already mentioned, now about the token $KINGY. You can see the full information on the website kingy.wtf, but I will briefly tell you what this token is and for what purpose it appeared.
The token was created to connect all the projects that I develop and monetize the channel @investkingyru. Payment for advertising on this channel, in most cases, is for the token KINGY, which I do not return to the market. Accordingly, the demand for the token is growing, and the supply is decreasing. Because of which the price rises.
The token itself has a number of uses besides advertising, from buying merch and entering a private channel to participating in a watermelon festival. It, like NFT, is an integral part of the KINGY ecosystem and is used everywhere I go.
In the past month, his price has increased 314% and his capitalization has reached up to $1M. The growth of the community continues, which means the token will become even more popular.
