TON needs 5–10 different projects hitting 20M–100M in a single week to bring serious attention to the ecosystem.
It’s possible if TON cabals and high-profile community accounts start actively engaging with and buying memes.

Sui and Tron did the same. But on TON, people are more focused on sending gifts and sharing news than actually building.

Also, whenever TON dips heavily in price, many projects and builders vanish.
Server costs and API expenses become too high to maintain, so a lot of bots shut down or get sold to new owners.

In short, a drastic price drop doesn’t just scare off builders and investors, it also directly affects existing projects, causing them to run out of budget. We've seen this happen many times already.

Two popular bots on TON have already migrated to Sui and other chains when the price plummeted from $8

Still, we’re optimistic about TON’s future and I wouldn’t recommend selling your TON.
