πŸ₯Š A Night Worth Staying Up For

Sometimes, a weekend has just one big event. But this Saturday is an exception.

⚽️ Norway vs. England (21:00 UTC)

The World Cup's biggest surprise against the eternal favorite. Haaland has already scored 7 goals, leading Norway to unexpected heights. England is once again trying to prove this tournament is "the one." Let's see who makes it to the semifinals.

πŸ₯Š McGregor vs. Holloway 2 (01:00 UTC)

Arguably the fight of the year. Conor returns to the octagon for the first time in five years after a severe injury. When they fought in 2013, no one could have imagined who they'd become. Now, it's not just victory at stake, but the legacy of both fighters.

πŸ₯Š Paddy Pimblett vs. Benoit Saint-Denis

The loudest Brit against a former French special forces soldier. The winner is almost certainly one step away from a title fight.

πŸ₯‡ Olympic Champion's Debut

Gable Steveson will finally have his first UFC fight. One of the most anticipated debuts in recent years.

⚽️ Argentina vs. Switzerland (01:00 UTC)

Of his generation's legends, only Messi remains. Ronaldo, Modric, and Neymar are already out. At 38, Leo continues to amaze and will try to bring Argentina one step closer to the title.

Overall, the night will be packed. If there's ever a reason to stay up all night, it's for Saturdays like this.

🎁 Whale is also giving away $150 to those who guess the outcome of the three main events: Norway vs. England, McGregor vs. Holloway, and Argentina vs. Switzerland. Just leave your predictions in the comments, and winners will be announced on July 12.

Bring Back TON 2022

Four years ago, I joined TON when there were no tokens, no NFTs, no DEXβ€”nothing at all. The entire ecosystem had about 200 people. We had fun, made memes, laughed in chats, and couldn't even imagine GRAM would one day be worth $8. We didn't care about the token price. We were happy without it.

Today, the price is about the same as four years ago. And it doesn't feel like there are many more people. 🚬 But that original vibe is gone.

There's no longer a mystery about who really owns TON and where all the money is. There's no longer the urge to create because it feels like everything has already been created. It's hard to be impressed by 70,000 unique users when you've seen Notcoin and Hamster Kombat raise tens of millions.

So what happened? We got GRAM back, but how do we bring back that original vibe to TON?

GRAM, take it slow

I opened a position betting on GRAM's rise, and it paid off completely.

After GRAM's listing on Binance and Hyperliquid, the price rose to $1.7. At this level, I locked in profits and opened a short.

Personally, I don't expect a strong continuation of growth. New listings often attract algorithmic traders who enter pairs with empty order books. Sometimes, that's enough to trigger a sharp upward movement without any fundamental reasons.

Even if Durov releases a post about a new MTONGA phase, I'm not sure it will push GRAM's price above $2.

Retail attention is still focused on Solana. It has already risen 30% against Bitcoin since the beginning of summer and continues to accelerate.

Rewards 2.0: What has changed in Whale? 🐳

Whale has completely revamped its rewards system. It's not just a tweak of numbers; it's a whole new loyalty system. Previously, it was a Battle Pass that had to be purchased separately.

The main change is that the level you achieve now stays with you forever. No more resets or rollbacks. Once you level up, you keep it. I'm thrilled about this! 🀝

What else has changed:

β€’ Daily cashback can now reach up to 25%. Plus, there's no more carrying over negatives between days; each new day starts fresh.

β€’ Weekly and monthly bonuses have been introduced. They depend on your activity and game volume and can be claimed every Monday and on the first of each month.

β€’ All progress is now consolidated on one page. It shows your level, cashback percentage, available bonuses, and all active offers.

Additionally, new users get a 200% bonus on their first deposit (from $10), so if you've been wanting to try Prediction Markets or other games, now's a good time. Personally, I've been more active in the Sportsbook section for the World Cup; it makes watching matches more exciting ☺️

GRAM without the General

It seems something didn't go as planned for Pavel Durov.

After TON became GRAM again, Pasha has gone quiet. No news on MTONGA, no comments on the current situation.

Recently, Telegram disabled 52 validators and withdrew about 100M GRAM from staking. No explanation has been given yet, but it looks quite strange.

Initially, Pasha told us that Telegram became the main validator of the TON network, but now the company has stopped participating in validation 😷

It seems the "Duroboros" plan failed, regulators pressured him again, and we're back to the old familiar TON swamp.

Is TON still alive or not?

Many have already given up on TON, but there's still some life in the ecosystem 🐈. New products, contests, and activities occasionally emerge that you might want to know about.

β€’ The Meridian team launched a launchpad with free token launches. It's reminiscent of the old Pump fun. So far, it looks quite cringe-worthy and hasn't sparked much interest. Among the projects, only DALLA managed to stand out and gather the minimum for listing on DeDust.

β€’ Whale continues to give away $2000 to random participants in Prediction. To participate, you just need to make a prediction starting at $1. Last week, users with 56 and 165 tickets won. Not bad for such an activity πŸ€΅β€β™‚οΈ. I invest $30 every week, hoping to get lucky.

β€’ Wallet launched a contest with a prize pool of $700K. You need to trade and participate in the team competition. It seems they want to recall the days of Notcoin squads. Judging by the activity, the excitement isn't very high yet, which means participants' chances look more interesting. The KYC requirement is what scares everyone off πŸ”‹.

β€’ DTrade is also holding a trading contest. Trade any tokens in TON and you can win up to $1K in prizes (total prize pool $5K). Those who are already actively trading should definitely take note.

β€’ I've launched palette.finance, where I gather the best APRs for GRAM and USDT across the entire TON ecosystem. 🎨 The functionality is still limited, but I'm gradually refining the project to make it a one-stop window for yield hunting and starting farming.

β€’ The Six Seven app has become one of the fastest-growing over the past month and clearly wants to follow in the footsteps of Notcoin and Dogs. 🎁 So far, everything looks quite standard and without serious marketing, but sometimes such projects unexpectedly take off.

β€’ TOP launched iPredict. Thanks to Omniston, the service allows you to use Polymarket directly through TON, without any bridges. There are no bonuses yet, so there's little motivation to trade.

β€’ Lucha also realized that gifts alone won't earn much and launched Portex. Essentially the same Polymarket under the hood, but at least there's a referral program, and everything works noticeably faster.

There is still some life in TON. However, the number of users isn't increasing yet. πŸ₯

GRAM: Listings are here, but no growth. What's happening?

Strange things are afoot. It seemed like a simple renaming of Toncoin to GRAM. No migrations, new tokens, or fundamental changes. Yet, the number of events surrounding this rebranding seems unusually high πŸͺ„

First, exchanges showed positive funding, reaching nearly 200% annually in some places. This usually means the crowd is massively going long. But honestly, I find it hard to believe the market suddenly has such faith in GRAM's future.

I immediately thought they were gathering short sellers to trigger a short squeeze at the right moment. Especially considering it's hard to find genuinely bullish sentiment in the market right now.

Then GRAM got listed on South Korea's largest exchange, Upbit. Historically, a listing on Upbit often boosts assets by tens of percent, sometimes even more. But GRAM barely reacted to this news.

Today, Binance completed the ticker change, and Robinhood listed GRAM. The expected short squeeze didn't happen, and the price briefly fell to $1.57. Two strong news events, yet nothing materialized.

In the end, a rather strange picture emerges. Positive funding, listing on Upbit, listing on Robinhood, ticker change on Binance - yet the price continues to decline.

Either the market doesn't believe in GRAM's story at all, or someone is carefully gathering liquidity before a more significant move. The official @gram channel remains silent.

Ronaldo let me down, but my bet didn't πŸ˜„

The whole world is watching the World Cup and indulging in gambling. Various projects are giving away over $60 million, while prediction markets are attracting great liquidity and new users.

I'm not a football fan, but I watched the England vs. Croatia match yesterday. When the game is dynamic and not just endless passing, it's genuinely interesting. To keep things exciting, I bet on England's win and got a 3x return.

I also occasionally check the prediction section on Whale. There are intriguing questions there too. For instance, I earned 2x on the prediction that Ronaldo wouldn't shout "Siuuu" or score a goal. Currently, there's a poll on whether Vozinha (Cape Verde's goalkeeper) will reach 20 million followers by the end of the month. ⚽️

In short, a bit of gambling during the World Cup seems perfectly fine to me. It's an event that happens every four years, much like the crypto cycle. And doing it on Whale is twice as enjoyable.

Will GRAM Get a Free Pump?

Renaming to GRAM might create an intriguing market spectacle 🎰 Following the poll on renaming Toncoin to Gram, exchanges have started preparing for the transition. For instance, Bybit has already announced it will close all perpetual contracts on TON. Other major platforms are likely to follow suit.

Interestingly, this is technically just a name change. User balances remain the same, with no token migrations or exchanges required. Yet, instead of simply renaming trading instruments, exchanges prefer to halt trading entirely, cancel all orders, and forcibly close all open positions.

As a result, traders holding long-term longs, planning to stay in position for months, will be closed out regardless of their wishes (Hello, Meta!)

What's intriguing is that when GRAM trading resumes, the market will essentially be empty. It's also unclear whether trading will start at an average or inflated price. In the first few minutes, as usual, aggressive trading bots and people will likely rush to restore their positions 😁

The new chart and absence of old resistance levels will be a free gift for major players. With old positions forcibly closed and liquidity just forming, moving the price becomes much easier and cheaper than usual. Therefore, the weeks surrounding GRAM's launch might be far more interesting than the rebranding itself πŸ’°

⚽️ Whale is giving away $90,000 for the 2026 World Cup

I'm really surprised by the development; they've ventured into Prediction! Now, like on Polymarket, instead of a classic bet, you buy one of the event outcomes. Additionally, they're giving away $40,000 among those who participated in the prediction.

For every $2 bet on Prediction Markets, you earn 1 ticket. The more predictions you make, the higher your chance of being among the winners.

Moreover, there will be weekly sports betting tournaments for 5 weeks. Each week, $10,000 is up for grabs, totaling $50,000 ⚽️

All markets are available directly within Whale, without third-party services or additional actions. You can make predictions on the 2026 World Cup matches and simultaneously participate in the giveaway and tournaments.

If you love football, it seems like a great opportunity to test your predictions. The first match is tomorrow!

x3 in a year. Why is Whale enticing holders into staking?

The market has been hitting rock bottom for days, and people are seeking safe assets, shifting positions, restructuring portfolios, and staking their tokens in hopes of a brighter future this fall. πŸ’°

Whale has also jumped on the bandwagon and launched staking for their token. They promise up to x3 rewards for a one-year lock-up! With an APY of 107-200% that doesn't depend on the amount of staked tokens.

They likely wouldn't take such a step unless they were planning a listing within the next year. πŸ›Œ Otherwise, what's the point?

Many major holders have already locked their tokens, transferring them from NFTs via a bridge. This reduces selling pressure and could trigger a price movement. At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

I'm not touching my NFTs for now. I've only staked what was already on my balance. I'll be watching the situation and keeping you updated.

Remember, Whale is also buying NFTs from the market and burning them, which positively impacts the value of the vouchers themselves. πŸŽƒ

⚑️⚑️⚑️TON is being renamed to GRAM

I've already discussed the reasons and implications. After 4 years with TON, I've become adept at reading Pavel Durov's behavior.

A proposal was made on TON Vote to rename the network's native token from Toncoin to Gram, and change the ticker from TON to GRAM. The vote was initiated by Telegram itself, and Durov later announced the renaming.

However, the blockchain itself will not be renamed. TON will remain TON (The Open Network), only the coin's name will change. If you currently have 10 TON, after the update, they will be the same 10 GRAM.

There will be no swaps, migrations, bridges, or conversions. Addresses, smart contracts, NFTs, staking, DeFi positions, and balances will remain unchanged. Wallets, explorers, exchanges, and other services will gradually update the token display.

As we know, the vote on TON Vote will surely gather more than 50% of the votes, because who owns the TON being voted with?! 😁

⚠️ It's important to understand: no action is required from users. If someone offers to "exchange TON for GRAM," "receive new tokens," or undergo any migration after the vote, they are scammers.

πŸ™ Decentralization Γ  la Durov

Pavel Durov plays a double game...

First, he criticizes Apple for its monopoly and for deciding which apps can stay in the App Store. Yet, Telegram removes mini-apps from other blockchains unless they use TON as their primary cryptocurrency for $300M.

Then, he claims that TON is becoming highly decentralized and welcomes new validators. However, he raises the minimum threshold for validation participation to 1M TON. Small businesses and DeFi projects in TON are already struggling, and such decisions only make it harder for them.

Today, Hipo Finance announced they dropped out of the validation cycle. The reason is simple - a major holder (TON Foundation) withdrew funds, and the project no longer meets the minimum TON requirements.

Meanwhile, Tonstakers, led by Durov's friend, profit from commissions and validation, making it increasingly difficult for independent players to compete.

For context: Tonstakers' yield is currently 14.55%, while Hipo's reached 17.88% in the same cycle. The difference in yield is someone's extra earnings, and we know whose πŸ‘½ As of today, Hipo remains one of the most profitable staking options in the TON ecosystem.

If you care, let's fight monopolization. Move your TON to Hipo. They need about 400K TON to return to the validation cycle, after which maximum yield will be available again.

Why TON Smells Like GRAM Again

Pavel Durov remains silent, yet people keep asking me about TON's future, as if I know πŸ‘‹

But if you look closely, an interesting picture emerges.

TON Foundation is gradually being dismantled. There's information that the Swiss prosecutor's office is interested in the foundation's structure: a fictitious office, massive financial turnover for a non-profit, and suspicious activities 😳

This isn't the first warning sign. During the Open League era, TON Foundation freely distributed millions of TON for "activity," only to suddenly demand contracts and KYC from projects weeks later. It seems Swiss authorities quickly pointed out that such actions don't go unnoticed.

When the pressure became too intense, Manuel Stotz abruptly left for another company, leaving Max Crown to deal with the aftermath. But it seems there was little point in maintaining the structure, so together with Durov, they decided to gradually close the whole story.

The layoffs were telling. First, they removed the most public figures: Alena, Dima, Viktor. Next, likely, will be less visible employees. And remember, we're talking about hundreds of people.

If TON Foundation is under scrutiny, it's logical to assume The Open Platform (TOP) will be next. Things aren't perfect there either.

Recently, Wallet (TON Space) was renamed to Crypto Wallet, and today, to further confuse users, it's being renamed to DeFi Account. Here's an interesting twist.

Previously, TON Foundation paid Telegram hundreds of millions of dollars annually for Wallet placement and integration. But if TON Foundation no longer exists as a full-fledged structure, there's no one to pay. It feels like Telegram is gradually taking Wallet back.

Overall, if everything is reverting, TON might be turned into GRAM and achieve that native Telegram integration discussed years ago. Without intermediaries, foundations, or "independent" organizations.

But then the main question arises: who will manage all this? πŸ₯

Steve Yun has stepped away from TON. Ilya Perekopsky is busy elsewhere. Dmitry Eremeev likely doesn't want the headlines. Andrey Rogozov has enough projects - Tonkeeper, tonapi, Mira. Which public friends are left? Roxman vanished after the Major and Portals stories. From the old trusted team, almost no one remains. The only somewhat logical candidate is Anton Tsivarev, but his achievements aren't impressive. In three years as VP of Development at TON Foundation, nothing extraordinary was seen. At least he responded in chats, unlike Makosov and Emelyanenko 🀴

Oleg Seydak might return to the public eye (I haven't mentioned him before). He was the CEO of the Swiss company Gram Vault, which stored GRAM (TON) and was the only trading platform for selling not-yet-launched Gram tokens directly from legal investors. According to my information, he still manages a vast amount of TON and allocates millions for ecosystem development, like for the RSquad team 😊

Back to the point.

Amidst all this, Durov's silence and missed deadlines are particularly odd. The 2-3 weeks of the third phase he mentioned have passed with no news. TON has returned to $1.8, as I previously noted, while Telegram posts jokes on X about other companies instead of explanations 🀑

At some point, it seems like Telegram is turning into a meme company, and TON into its meme coin. Bullish.

TON's rise seems too convenient

TON soars by +25%, and suddenly a swarm of believers in a $20 TON emerges 😁. But if you look deeper, this surge doesn't seem like a newfound faith in the ecosystem.

Funding was heavily negative (-56%), with too many shorts, and the market was already anticipating further decline. Right at this moment, news breaks: sharding update and a new analytics tool for developers at builders.ton.org.

The timing is just too perfect to shake out the short-sellers and restore hope.

Yet, TON's main issue remains unresolved. It's never been about speed, sharding, or fees. The problem is that TON is one of the most developer-unfriendly blockchains among major ecosystems.

Complex architecture, odd standards, weak tools, and a perpetual sense that TON exists in its own crypto universe. While other networks have been advancing DeFi and privacy, TON has been losing time, people, and solid products over the years.

Only now is there an attempt to fix this. But it seems more like an urgent repair of something that's been breaking for years.

Meanwhile, they're liquidating short-sellers and making profits πŸ˜‚. We'll likely drop back to $1.8, Pavel will mention the fourth point, and the cycle will repeat.

TON Revives in an Old Pattern

It seems the main sign of TON's revival isn't the rise of TON or Pavel Durov's posts, but rather the return of hackers, scammers, and traders to the ecosystem 😁

While everyone was discussing Acton, the new AI-ready toolchain for TON, several amusing incidents occurred in the network over the week:
β€’ Fake USDT on Getgems that looked genuine.
β€’ A $2.5M hack of the TAC bridge (funds were returned by the hacker).
β€’ Pepekton with the classic "raised presale and vanished" act.

Amusingly, all this happened alongside a surge in TON activity.

During the hype around Pavel Durov's posts, trading volumes via TON bots soared above 4M TON per day. It seemed like a new life for the ecosystem. But just a week later, volumes dropped about tenfold. Dtrade fell from 2.1M TON to ~220k, Maestro nearly died, and other bots followed suit.

It turns out TON's old problem hasn't disappeared. The ecosystem is great at generating hype but struggles to sustain it. Hype, pump, a bunch of new tokens, and then emptiness again a week later.

Honestly, even the wave of scams and hacks now seems more like a positive signal. When there's no money in the network, no one bothers to write exploits, test bridges, or create fake tokens for TON. It's too complicated and pointless.

Now, it's clear that interest in the ecosystem is reemerging. With liquidity comes not only developers but also the rest of the crypto market's wildlife 😜

The main challenge now is for TON to finally learn how to retain people for more than a week, and so far, it's not doing well.

15 AI Agents and Nearly a Million in Volume

Whale currently stands out as one of the few projects genuinely trying to apply AI, rather than just slapping an "AI" label on a banner.

While some use Claude and Cursor to find bugs in smart contracts, break bridges, and earn bug bounties, others have taken a more entertaining routeβ€”sending AI to play Whale 😁

Whale recently concluded its MCP campaign, featuring over 15 AI agents that collectively generated more than $900k in volume. This is cyberludpunk at its finest.

In addition to the AI activities, they are also hosting tournaments and events with substantial prizes (one as high as $50K), where participants can earn rewards not only for playing but also for referrals. I keep saying that referrals are becoming one of the most valuable assets. When traffic picks up again, these bases will start generating the main revenue.

So, in TON, there are currently two paths:
* hunt for bugs and earn bug bounties
* or make AI play Whale 😁

While Durov Awaits Developers, Scammers Arrive

The release of Acton seemed like it should be positive news, expected by Pavel Durov to attract many developers. However, as usual, loopholes are being sought through AI for profit.

Recently, a schoolboy used Claude Code to find a critical bug in the blockchain and received $4000 from TON Core through a bug bounty program. And just last night, a method was discovered to use fake USDT, which some projects mistakenly consider real.

A sad story unfolded with a Chinese investor who lost over $400K, believing he was selling an anonymous number for real USDT, but ended up with worthless tokens. The description of how this works can be read here, and it's not a new method; it's been around for a while, but Acton made it possible to execute without additional knowledge.

Personally, I believe that without hackathons, grants, favorable conditions, and convincing success stories, new developers simply won't join the TON ecosystem. Especially when there are more headlines about fake USDT than announcements about Acton itself. To attract real developers, money, motivation, and a strong community are needed, which TON currently lacks.

Why has TON accelerated only now, and who was the brake?

The TON blockchain seems to be coming to life after gaining momentum, but what held it back before? The answer lies not in what, but in who.

In TON Core, there's the well-known Anatoly Makosov, who took over ton.org after the Telegram lawsuit and continued the blockchain's development alongside Kirill Emelyanenko. A valuable person, no doubt, but he has been one of the main blockers of the ecosystem's growth.

Anatoly became so entrenched in his role as the leader that he wouldn't let anyone near the code and almost always said "no" to new ideas.

He forbade TON Core employees from communicating with others without his knowledge, cutting off all interactions. The RSQuad scandal also went public because of him. The team devised ways to speed up the blockchain, change node code, and implement other optimizations, but he publicly dismissed them, claiming the code was in beta and that there would be penalties for using it.

At the beginning of the year, Pavel Durov realized something was amiss with Anatoly, leading to a developers' meeting to figure out what was happening. When Pavel saw solutions and proposals from other teams that could genuinely speed up the blockchain, he gave Anatoly time to implement them himself. Otherwise, the task would be handed over to others.

That's why Anatoly sprang into action. He didn't want to lose his position or significance. In no time, an update was implemented to accelerate the blockchain, which we are witnessing now.

So, Anatoly should be developing the blockchain, but in reality, he's been severely hindering its progress, affecting us all. Ideally, such people should be shown the door. Rumor has it that Anatoly has long wanted to leave, yet he remains a key developer of TON.

I think that meeting also influenced Pavel to take matters into his own hands. For the first time, he truly engaged in what was happening with his praised blockchain and realized that many were just sitting idle, earning huge sums for doing nothing.

The main reason for TON's price drop was simple inaction from both the leader and the developers. Once they started taking action, the results were evident, with increased volumes and activity. If they continue, TON could indeed become great again.

Is Pavel Durov taking back control of TON?

What's happening with TON? You've probably seen what happened with the ton.org website πŸ‘€ My opinion is that Pasha is taking everything back under his wing.

Several points suggest this:

- He increased the number of TON validators, openly stating it's Telegram.

- He's closing all loopholes by renaming the GRAM token and all its channels.

- He's dissolving the TON Foundation. This has been coming for a while, and everyone seems indifferent to this organization now. I think we're at the final stage.

Will this be a plus for the blockchain? πŸ˜” I think so, because then we can say it's not just an integration of TON into Telegram, but a unified ecosystem. Plus, there's Cocoon, which boosts us into the AI era.

But can Pavel Durov handle all this alone? Who will manage integrations? Partnerships? Presentations? Who will launch intensives and programs? It's impossible to handle solo.

Either the money from gifts will finally benefit the TON/Telegram ecosystem, or perhaps a deal is in the works that will make Pasha even richer 🀝
