4N domains and the network effect

In economics, a network effect (also called network externality or demand-side economies of scale) is the phenomenon by which the value or utility a user derives from a good or service depends on the number of users of compatible products.

The more people know about domains, the more people they can tell about it, based on the type of phone network (example in the attached photo). Two telephones can make only one connection, five can make 10 connections, and twelve can make 66 connections.

Metcalfe's Law states that the utility of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users on that network. This is why we need to increase the number of holders of 4N domains.

When critical mass is reached, a bandwagon effect can occur. The more people own an asset, the more people want it. This is perfectly demonstrated by the success stories of Collectible Numbers and Telegram Gifts.

This market is just emerging, and you can be the one who shapes it to reap the benefits in the future.

Growth of Number Holders

The attached image shows the growth of the total amount of number holders (blue graph) and holders of one number (red graph).

After the initial mint, the number collection contained approximately 30,343 unique holders and 18,650 holders of one number; these figures now stand at 48,211 (+58.89%) and 33,767 (+81.06%), respectively. The number of unique holders is growing by 13.66 wallets per day, and the number of holders of one number is growing by 11.56 wallets per day.

Thus, extrapolating from previous data, we can assume that, if the current daily growth rate continues, the number of unique holders will reach 70% of the entire collection (95,597 holders) around January 2036. This aligns with our thoughts and confirms our observations from a different perspective, described in this post.

In the upcoming post, we'll summarize our thoughts and why we're targeting 70%, as this post already contains plenty of ideas for our clip-based thinking. And, of course, it's also important to meet our monthly post quota :)

P.S. I already feel better. I will try my best to continue the column.

Still don't believe the $30k for 4N TON DNS?

The attached screenshot shows the sales history of 4-digit .com domains for the period March-May 2026.

We quote one of the largest 4N holders @moroz: "Over the past two months, more than 25 4-digit .com domains have changed hands, with the lowest sale price being $5,900 and the highest being $128,888. 95% of these [domains] will never be used for websites; they are simply stores of value, especially among residents of mainland China."

Numbers with the Only Owner History

The number of previous owners is also important when considering the sale of a number (just as newly mined Bitcoin is considered the purest). The more owners a number has had, the more it can negatively impact a potential buyer's purchase decision.

The number of owners for a specific number can be viewed on Getgems. And here the number of numbers is shown by Owner. Numbers with only one owner currently number 26,806 (19.63% of the entire collection), and this number is decreasing daily as the market changes.

Note: The number of owners is only shown for on-chain transactions. A given number could have been rented out dozens of times over the more than three years of this collection's existence. This is crucial, as such a phone number could have been added to the contacts of numerous people over time, and when a new account is created using the same number, all previous contacts receive notifications stating "John Doe has joined Telegram." This situation is even worse than a number with two or three previous owners (according to blockchain data) that has never been rented. In real life, this is analogous to a car with one previous owner that has been damaged and repaired numerous times.

Therefore, when purchasing a number, you should choose a number with one to three previous owners, and also be sure to check whether the number has been active with any rental service. Only then can you be 100% sure that your purchase is being spent on the intended purpose.

Kate Smith's Rent is 3 years old! 🎉

Unfortunately, almost none of what we had planned for 2025 came to fruition. We are no less upset than you are. We apologize for this and ask you not to hold a grudge 🥺. As they say, "What's promised takes three years to come." We promise to make things right by our 4th anniversary.

3 years is a fairly long time in crypto. There's the Lindy effect: if something exists for example, for 3 years, then it will exist for the next 3 years. Bitcoin has been around for over 16 years since 2008, and there is no doubt that it will still be around 16 years from now, in 2041. The same can be said about our service: We will do everything to write another post about the 6th anniversary on May 31, 2029.

Kate Smith's account is now linked to the number +888 0520 0520 which is one of the most valuable and rare Collectible Numbers, which perfectly complements my domain 0520.ton. Both assets complement and reinforce each other, adding strength and arguments in potential negotiations for the sale of either asset.

We're setting the momentum. Others will surely follow.

Find and mint 4N domains that complement existing assets with a history of success (Collectible Numbers, Telegram Gifts, etc.) while you still can!

Everyone could!

4N domains are your protection from scams

Here is an example of a scam where the first four and last four digits of a wallet are imitated. The victim lost a total of 135,000 TON. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. The scammer returned most of the amount to the owner, keeping 10,000 TON as a reward.

To avoid such scams, use short wallet name for both you and those you send funds to.

3,850 (38.5%) 4N domains have already been minted. Hurry to secure these beautiful combinations while they're still available, so you don't have to buy them for 1,000+ TON later!

P.S. https://t.me/bugs?startapp=c-60981. Please like, comment, and vote for the proposal to add a TON DNS section to the Telegram profiles. Collectible Numbers and Telegram Gifts are already available for this. TON Domains are the next attribute for digital identity in the Web3 World.

Anonymous Telegram Numbers are now called Collectible Numbers

On February 23, 2026, the number collection on fragment.com was renamed from "Anonymous Telegram Numbers" to "Collectible Numbers."

As you can see, two words were removed: "Anonymous" and "Telegram." The first was removed due to its negative connotations. Numbers are primarily a unique collectible, not a toy for anonymity. The second was most likely removed due to legal proceedings and the possible severing of ties with the messenger.

Naturally, all the chats started buzzing about this. Are you also experiencing Vietnamese flashbacks memories? Telegram is free forever.

This renaming marks the final nail in the coffin of talks about the new number mint. It won't happen.

TON DNS Summer (Part 2)

Part 1 is here.

Why is this post on the channel about numbers included in the monthly column?

1. Both Collectible Numbers and numeric domains consist solely of digits. These domains have the potential to become luxury assets, as Collectible Numbers already are.

2. Both 4N domains and Collectible Numbers have their own masks and subcollections, which facilitates easy pricing and marketmaking.

3. The number of such domains is 10,000, which is 13.66 times less than the total supply of Collectible Numbers (136,566). The total market capitalization of Collectible Numbers is $2,250*136,566=$307,273,500. If domains have the same market capitalization, then dividing $307,273,500 by 10,000 yields a floor price of $30,727 for 4N domains in the medium to long term.

4. Minting 100 4N domains now is equivalent to minting approximately 100*13.66=1,366 Collectible Numbers in December 2022.

5. The mint price of a Collectible Number in December 2022 was approximately $18. The mint price of a 4N domain is approximately $130, which is $18 x 13.66/$130 = 1.89 times more profitable in dollar terms. In TON, this value equals 9 TON*13.66/100 TON = 1.23 times.

6. Rare 4N domain patterns act as a hedge and are protected from "domain inflation," similar to rare Collectible Numbers patterns in the event of their hypothetical new minting. There is only one domain in TON, 8888.ton. There is only one 8888.eth on the Ethereum network, just like there is one 8888.sol on the Solana network. And as you already know, mathematics is always ahead of emotions and subjectivity.

7. Collectible Numbers are a protective mechanism against TON price decreasing, as they retain their value in $, regardless of the TON price. Perhaps we'll see something similar with 4N domains.

8. There are 4N domains with the same digits as Collectible Numbers. We're confident that after integrating the TON wallet into Telegram, the owner of the number +888 8888 will want to link 8888.ton to his/her profile.

9. Telegram currently has over 1 billion users. That's over 1 billion/136,566=7,322 users per 1 Collectible Number. By 2028, TON cryptocurrency is expected to be used by 500 million people. That's 500 millions/10,000=50,000 4N domains per crypto user!

10. History is cyclical. Those who missed the opportunity to mint Collectibles Numbers for 9 TON in December 2022 or didn't believe in their potential can do so now in 4N domains; it's even more profitable in dollars and TON than it was back then. After the expected explosive growth of 4N domains, people who haven't yet owned Collectible Numbers will be able to transfer some of their profits to them.

11. In the future, it will likely be possible to lease your domains. In this case, 4N domains will be the most liquid on the market and will generate triple profits: growth of the domain itself in TON, growth of the TON price in USD, and passive income from the lease while you patiently hold the domain, similar to Collectible Numbers.

Number masks in 4N domains are described here. You can see available domains here. You can mint a domain here.

The official channel (@club10k) and website (10kclub.com) of the 10K club were recently launched. 10K Club is now on X.

Here you can learn more about WEB3 Academy and link your wallet to receive notifications from webdom.market, the most technologically advanced specialized TON DNS marketplace. Using the @FourNDNSGatebot bot, using the 4N domain or a gift from the Big Years Collection, First Website Model you can access the private Club 1991 chat, which already has over 170 members. Additionally, there are three other private chats with their own entry rules on the personal channel of the webdom founder, Domainer.

EVERYONE COULD! We'll come back to this phrase in a few years.

TON DNS Summer (Part 1)

As we predicted, the hype around TON DNS has begun. The hype began with Four-Digit domains (hereinafter referred to as 4N domains). People are "burning" their 100 TON on the TON DNS smart contract and transferring this value to NFTs (similar to Banksy's work).

On February 13, the last domain from the Club 100 (0074.ton), was minted, on February 17, the thousandth domain (5755.ton), and on February 28, the last domain from the 1k Club (0863.ton).

The race is on, and people have already minted many beautiful numbers from various masks and special collections, although only 26% of the total supply has been minted.

On average, 117 4N domains are minted per day. At the current rate, 50% of the supply will be minted by March 22, 2026, 75% by April 12, 2026, and 100% by May 4, 2026.

Why 4N domains if there are already Telegram usernames?

1. Numbers are the international language of communication. They are simple and understandable for everyone around the world, unlike various alphabets (be it Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, hieroglyphs, etc.).

2. There are 10^4 = 10,000 number combinations in 4N domains, which is 45.7 times less than in alphabetic domains 26^4 = 456,976 combinations.

3. The price for the 4L username is fixed at 5,000 TON ($8,000). The price for the 4N domain on mint is approximately $130, which is 61.54 times cheaper!

4. Only domains can consist of numbers, while usernames must contain at least one letter. Therefore, 4N domains are beyond competition in the TON ecosystem.

5. The ability to associate attractive domain digits with a gift number. An example is here. There are dozens of different collections of gifts with identical numbers, but only one 4N domain can be associated with them!

6. The TON ecosystem will have thousands of AI agents, and they will need a short digital domain for convenience.

7. TON Browser and TON Messenger are being developed, with user login via TON DNS.

8. Repeating the success of ENS, this time in the form of a utility — a shell in Telegram (because TON DNS renewal costs pennies, compared to $160 per year for a 4-digit ENS).

Psychological Levels in Numbers

In finance, psychological level, is a price level in technical analysis that significantly affects the price of an underlying security, commodity or a derivative. Typically, the number is something that is "easy to remember," such as a rounded-off number (Source).

When an asset's price breaks through its next high and rises by one digit, it initially causes psychological discomfort in people. Imagine an Anonymous Number that was worth 950 TON yesterday and is worth 1,123 TON today.

The price of numbers started at 9 TON ($18), so their important psychological levels are:
10 TON-100 TON-1,000 TON-10,000 TON-100,000 TON…
$100-$1,000-$10,000-$100,000-$1,000,000…

While writing this article, we noticed a truly fundamental pattern. We discovered that important $ and TON levels alternate! Live and learn, as they say.

Dates when the price broke through an important level:
10 TON: December 14, 2022;
$100: February 27, 2023 (75 days later);
100 TON: May 12, 2023 (74 days later);
$1,000: August 14, 2024 (460 days later);
1,000 TON: October 11, 2025 (423 days later).

As we can see, the cycles lengthen and, after moving from 2-digit to 3-digit values, they last 74-75 days, and from 3-digit to 4-digit values, they last 423-460 days. Thus, as a result of extrapolation that has no scientific basis and does not stand up to scrutiny, we can assume that:

The next important milestone will be the $10,000 level which will reach $10,000 between December 2027 and December 2032;

After reaching $10,000, the Floor Price will reach 10,000 TON between March 2030 and February 2040.

By then, numbers will become a true status symbol and will be available only to the wealthiest cryptonaires!

New nicknames are available!

Kate Smith now has an additional nickname, @katerent—simple and clear, and also sounds similar to "catering," which creates additional associations. The old nickname, @kate_smith, remains and will be available (although it's a bit awkward due to the "_").

A new nickname, @katesmithrent, is also available on Kate Smith's Rent channel.

Reformatting the #roadto10k column

While you're still celebrating, we're already working on new posts. Writing each post takes longer and longer, because all the basic questions have been covered, while the more fundamental ones require detailed development.

The $10,000 target by the end of 2025 was more of an emotional expectation than an analysis based on objective factors. We're not abandoning our goals; we've only strengthened our commitment to them. Everything will happen, but later. We now have much more data than we did in July 2024. In the next post in this column, we'll adjust our views based on updated data.

We continue our #roadto10k column. But now posts will be published once a month, on the first Monday of the each month. We focus on quality and will approach the writing of future posts with the utmost scrupulousness to match the highest quality of the brand that is Kate Smith.

Thanks everyone for a great trip down the Collectible Numbers rabbit hole in 2024 — 2025!

Let's compare the prices at the time of writing the last post and now:
December 30, 2024
Price for numbers in TON: 240
Price for numbers in $: 1,346.4
Price for numbers in ETH: 0.4

December 29, 2025
Price for numbers in TON: 1,554 (x6.48)
Price for numbers in $: 2,565 (x1.91)
Price for numbers in ETH: 0.88 (x2.2)

Unfortunately, the numbers did not reach $10,000 by the end of 2025.

I was happy to be your guide on this amazing journey. It's good if you didn't lose your money by investing in numbers as a hedge asset. It's even better if you made money using the information from our channel.

Wishing you prosperity, health and happiness in 2026! 🎄
