💎 Telegram Money is out. So where is the rollout?

Telegram 13.0 has been out for several days, but the big anniversary update still has no proper blog announcement. That is unusual for a major Telegram release — especially one that puts Money inside the app across main platforms.

The product exists. The launch still feels half-hidden.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ Telegram 13.0 added Money / Gram Wallet to the app line
⚫️ The wallet is already present on major platforms
⚫️ There is still no separate official blog post for the rollout
⚫️ Access remains hidden by default for many users
⚫️ To activate it, people still use workaround-style mechanics
⚫️ Current public stats show only around 81K users have actually used the wallet
⚫️ Today’s growth was reportedly only about 800 new addresses

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Durov promised the largest non-custodial wallet rollout in history
⚫️ The original pitch was about Telegram’s billion-user audience
⚫️ Right now, the reality looks much smaller than the promise
⚫️ A wallet hidden behind activation tricks is not a mass rollout
⚫️ Telegram may be testing slowly, but the silence makes the launch look unfinished
⚫️ For TON, the difference between “inside Telegram” and “actually used by Telegram users” is everything

Telegram Money is technically here, but the scale is not. No big blog post, no open access, no billion-user moment yet. For now, it looks less like the biggest wallet rollout in history and more like a soft launch that Telegram is not ready to call a launch.

💎 Makosov explained what Gram Wallet really is

Anatolii Makosov, the lead of TON Core, broke down Gram Wallet — and the main point is bigger than just “Telegram added a wallet”. Gram Wallet is trying to stitch Telegram and TON into one product layer: Telegram gives the users, TON handles the money logic.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ All wallet operations go through smart contracts on TON
⚫️ Gram can be sent even to users who never opened the wallet
⚫️ Backup can be disabled while keeping the same wallet address
⚫️ The seed can be rotated, and the wallet can later be moved into a standalone app
⚫️ TON Connect is connected once and then works across devices
⚫️ Users get 5 free transfers per day
⚫️ Other transfers are almost free after the latest fee reductions
⚫️ More than 72,293 wallets have already been activated

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Telegram is hiding the ugly parts of crypto behind a normal messenger UX
⚫️ Users do not need to understand contracts, seeds and network fees on day one
⚫️ TON still keeps the important part on-chain instead of turning the wallet into a fake crypto balance
⚫️ Key rotation and export support make the wallet less trapped inside Telegram
⚫️ Cross-device TON Connect makes dApp access feel closer to a Telegram-native login layer

The weak spot is already visible too: spam in transfer comments. If Telegram wants Gram Wallet to feel like normal money, it cannot let every transaction turn into a cheap message board for scammers.

But the direction is obvious. Gram Wallet is not just another TON wallet inside Telegram. It is Telegram trying to make TON invisible enough for normal users to actually touch it.

💎 Gram Wallet is finally working

Gram Wallet is now available in the latest Telegram versions on iOS, Android, Desktop and macOS. It is still not fully open for everyone, but the invite mechanic is already live: if a user with an active wallet sends you at least 0.1 Gram, your wallet can be activated too.

So Telegram did not just launch a wallet. It launched a wallet distribution loop.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ Gram Wallet is working inside the latest Telegram apps
⚫️ Supported platforms include iOS, Android, Desktop and macOS
⚫️ Access is still limited and works through an invite-like system
⚫️ To unlock it, another active user needs to send you at least 0.1 Gram
⚫️ This solves the “empty wallet” problem before the user even opens the product
⚫️ Fragment NFTs are already supported: gifts, anonymous numbers and usernames
⚫️ Other NFT collections are not shown inside the wallet for now

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Telegram is making wallet activation social, not technical
⚫️ New users do not start from zero — they receive Gram first, then enter the wallet
⚫️ That is a much smoother onboarding path than forcing people to buy tokens immediately
⚫️ Fragment assets being supported first shows what Telegram cares about: native collectibles, not random NFT noise
⚫️ For TON, this is the moment where wallet growth can spread user-to-user inside Telegram itself

Gram Wallet is not just “available” now. It has a viral activation mechanic: send 0.1 Gram, unlock another user, pull them into the ecosystem. That is how Telegram turns a wallet rollout into a network effect.

💎 Telegram 13.0 is out with the wallet inside

Telegram has released version 13.0, and the built-in wallet is already part of the new app line. The update is available on Android and iOS, but Telegram Wallet is still switched off by software. So the code is there. The button is not fully open yet.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ Telegram 13.0 is now rolling out on Android and iOS
⚫️ The update includes the new built-in wallet infrastructure
⚫️ The old Wallet era is already over after the Walt rebrand
⚫️ Telegram Wallet is still disabled for users at the software level
⚫️ The next step is likely gradual activation for a wider audience

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Gram Wallet is no longer just a promise from Durov’s posts
⚫️ It is now sitting inside the actual Telegram client line
⚫️ Telegram can turn access on gradually without forcing another big app update
⚫️ That gives the team room to test load, UX and edge cases before opening the gates
⚫️ For TON, this is the final waiting room before Telegram-scale wallet distribution

The wallet is already in the app. Now Telegram just needs to flip the switch. And when it does, TON stops waiting for users to come from crypto — it gets them straight from Telegram.

💎 Crypto got noisy. Stocks are getting interesting

Crypto trading has become so loud that sometimes even reading another “next 100x” post feels exhausting. Same narratives, same panic, same people calling every candle the start of a new era. Stocks are a different game.

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Equity moves are tied to real companies, earnings and market expectations
⚫️ Traders can work with clearer setups instead of pure narrative chaos
⚫️ Stock trading gives another way to catch volatility without living inside crypto noise
⚫️ The end of 2026 is shaping up as a market where discipline matters more than hype
⚫️ Hedge Capital shares daily trading signals for people who want structure, not random guesses

Crypto taught everyone to chase momentum. Stocks may teach them to actually trade it. If you want signals, setups and market logic without the usual noise, Hedge Capital is worth watching.

💎 TON votes on a Telegram Wallet update

TON validators have started voting on an update to the Telegram Wallet contract code. This is not a loud product launch or a shiny new button inside Telegram — it is a small technical fix, but exactly the kind that matters when a wallet is supposed to serve normal users.

🔝 What changes

⚫️ TON transfers can include encrypted comments
⚫️ These comments are meant to be readable only by the sender and the recipient
⚫️ Telegram Wallet supports private key rotation
⚫️ The new contract version should preserve access to encrypted comments after the key is changed
⚫️ The update goes through validator voting because Telegram Wallet logic lives in TON config
⚫️ If approved, the fix can apply to Telegram Wallet users at the contract level

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Key rotation is one of the most important parts of Telegram Wallet’s self-custody story
⚫️ Users should be able to change keys without silently breaking wallet history
⚫️ Encrypted comments may look like a minor feature, but they are part of the real payment experience
⚫️ Telegram cannot sell “easy crypto” if basic wallet details start disappearing after security actions
⚫️ This is boring infrastructure, but boring infrastructure is exactly what keeps mass products from turning into support nightmares

Gram Wallet is already past the marketing phase. Now TON is dealing with the less glamorous part: making sure the wallet survives real user behavior, key changes and edge cases without losing pieces of the transaction story.

💎 Wallet is gone from Telegram

The old Wallet tab disappeared from Telegram settings. The same wallet that had been sitting inside the app since the 2023 Telegram x TON Foundation partnership is no longer the default wallet slot.

TOP has now renamed the old Wallet into Walt, while the @wallet position is moving toward Telegram’s new Gram Wallet.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ The Wallet tab disappeared from Telegram settings
⚫️ The old Wallet service is now called Walt
⚫️ Walt is available through @walt
⚫️ The @wallet username still works, but the main Telegram wallet slot is being cleared
⚫️ According to TOP, user balances, accounts and history remain unchanged
⚫️ The old custodial Wallet is no longer the wallet Telegram wants sitting in the main interface

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ This is the cleanest sign yet that Gram Wallet is replacing the old Wallet inside Telegram
⚫️ TOP keeps the existing crypto product under the Walt brand
⚫️ Telegram gets the @wallet route and the settings slot for its own native wallet
⚫️ For users, this may look like a simple rename
⚫️ For TON, it looks more like a handover of the most important real estate inside Telegram

For two years, Wallet was the crypto button inside Telegram. Now it has been moved to Walt, while Gram Wallet takes the front seat.

Not a rebrand. More like Telegram quietly taking the keys back.

💎 TON is distancing itself from The Open Platform

TON Core updated the main dns.ton.org page, and the interface got cleaner in a very specific way. Getgems integration was removed, including links for buying TON domains on the secondary market. Links for renewing domains through Keeper also disappeared.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ TON Core updated the dns.ton.org interface
⚫️ Getgems links were removed from the main flow
⚫️ Secondary-market domain purchase links disappeared
⚫️ Domain renewal links through Keeper were also removed
⚫️ The DNS page now looks less tied to The Open Platform products
⚫️ This comes while TON keeps reshuffling its public infrastructure around Telegram-native flows

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Getgems and Keeper were part of the old TON Foundation-era ecosystem center
⚫️ Removing them from dns.ton.org looks like more than just a UI cleanup
⚫️ TON Core may be moving toward a more neutral infrastructure layer
⚫️ For The Open Platform, this means fewer default positions inside official TON surfaces
⚫️ For users, the DNS product becomes less marketplace-driven and more protocol-facing

TON used to feel heavily wrapped around The Open Platform products. Now those links are quietly disappearing from official interfaces.

Not a loud breakup. More like TON slowly deleting shared photos from the front page.

💎 TON has a new gift problem

A new front-run issue is being discussed around TON gifts. The reported mechanic is ugly: when two users try to buy the same gift at the same time, the attacker can allegedly end up with both the gift and the refund.

So yes, the user pays, the race condition happens, and the wrong side walks away smiling.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ A new front-run scenario was reported around TON gift purchases
⚫️ The issue appears when two users try to buy the same gift at nearly the same time
⚫️ The attacker can allegedly exploit transaction ordering
⚫️ In the worst case, the attacker receives the gift and the refund
⚫️ The victim is left with the usual Web3 experience: confusion, loss and someone explaining that it is “technically expected behavior”

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Gifts are becoming one of TON’s most visible consumer products
⚫️ Normal users do not care about mempools, ordering or race conditions
⚫️ If buying a gift can turn into a front-run game, the UX is already broken
⚫️ Telegram is trying to push wallets, gifts and collectibles to mass users
⚫️ Mass users will not tolerate blockchain mechanics that feel like a scam casino

TON keeps asking to be treated like Telegram-scale infrastructure. But every time a simple user action turns into a technical trap, the same question comes back: is this ready for normal people, or just for people who enjoy losing money with extra steps?

💎 Telegram drops Tonviewer

Telegram has changed the explorer used for opening on-chain links inside the messenger. Tonviewer is out, Tonscan.org is in. The timing is almost too good: just hours before the switch, Tonviewer was spotted showing a massive casino banner right on its homepage.

🔝 What changed
⚫️ Telegram replaced Tonviewer with Tonscan for TON on-chain links
⚫️ The change appeared in Telegram AppConfig
⚫️ Tonviewer was previously the default explorer for opening TON links
⚫️ Shortly before the switch, Tonviewer showed a large crypto-casino banner on its main page
⚫️ Tonscan now gets the Telegram-side visibility that Tonviewer used to have

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Telegram does not want its native crypto flow landing users on a casino-covered explorer
⚫️ Explorers are not just tools anymore — they are part of the user experience
⚫️ With Gram Wallet rolling out, every TON link inside Telegram becomes more important
⚫️ If Telegram sends users somewhere, that service becomes ecosystem infrastructure
⚫️ Tonviewer just learned that being default is not a right, it is a privilege

TON keeps moving closer to Telegram’s main interface, and Telegram is clearly cleaning the route. If your explorer looks like a casino lobby, do not be surprised when the traffic gets redirected.

🔝 Most trading channels sell noise. LTCM shows the logic.

Most feeds tell you what to buy and then disappear when the trade gets ugly. LTCM is more useful because every idea comes with the part traders usually hide: why the trade exists, where the entry is, what breaks the thesis, and when the position stops making sense.

LONG NVDA, SHORT AMD, LONG ROKU, SHORT GOOGL — not as random ticker flexing, but as structured market thinking.

🔝 What’s inside
⚫️ Entry, stop, target and time horizon
⚫️ Clear thesis behind each trade
⚫️ Risk conditions, not just upside fantasy
⚫️ Equity long/short ideas
⚫️ Event-driven setups
⚫️ Global macro and relative value thinking

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ A good company is not always a good trade
⚫️ A strong chart is useless without invalidation
⚫️ Real traders care about risk before the screenshot
⚫️ The useful part is not blindly copying positions, but seeing how the logic is built
⚫️ LTCM gives market structure instead of “trust me bro” arrows

If you prefer market thinking over market noise, this is the feed to watch.

🔝 What’s actually new in TON?

Gram Wallet is still not fully open. Durov promised a wider rollout “over the next couple of weeks”, but for now the main Telegram wallet story is still stuck somewhere between limited access and public launch. Meanwhile, the ecosystem is moving around it.

🔝 What changed
⚫️ Telegram registered a certificate for tonbridge.telegram.org
⚫️ TON Core released Nominator Pool 2.0 for jointly launching validators
⚫️ Telegram appeared in the TON Connect wallet list
⚫️ ActonScan launched as a new explorer for TON developers
⚫️ Anonymous +888 numbers on Fragment are sitting around 2,900 GRAM, roughly $3,813
⚫️ Gram Wallet is still the main missing public switch

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ The wallet rollout may be delayed, but the surrounding infrastructure keeps getting assembled
⚫️ tonbridge.telegram.org looks like another Telegram-side piece of the TON puzzle
⚫️ Nominator Pool 2.0 makes validator participation more organized
⚫️ TON Connect support puts Telegram closer to normal dApp interaction flows
⚫️ ActonScan gives developers another tool for reading and debugging the ecosystem
⚫️ Fragment prices show that Telegram-native assets are still being treated as serious on-chain property

There is also the political timing. If Durov was waiting for the CLARITY Act to clear the U.S. crypto fog, that plan just got messier: the bill failed to reach the 60 votes needed to move forward.

So TON has updates, tools, certificates, wallets in lists and expensive anonymous numbers. What it still does not have is the big clean Gram Wallet rollout for everyone.

Classic Telegram: the infrastructure is moving, the clues are everywhere, and the button everyone wants is still just out of reach.

🤑 TON NFT just entered the big-boy table

Anonymous Telegram Numbers have reportedly jumped to #2 in the global NFT collection ranking by market cap. Not another monkey JPEG, not another gaming mint, not another “community art” promise — Telegram numbers.

🔝 What changed
⚫️ Anonymous Telegram Numbers reached about $315M in reported market cap
⚫️ That puts the collection in top-2 territory globally by market capitalization
⚫️ The collection is built on TON and tied directly to Telegram identity
⚫️ These NFTs let users own anonymous Telegram numbers on-chain
⚫️ TON NFT is no longer just about small marketplace activity or local ecosystem hype

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Telegram-native assets are starting to compete with classic NFT blue chips
⚫️ Anonymous numbers have a clear utility narrative: identity, access and ownership inside Telegram
⚫️ This is exactly where TON has an advantage over most chains — distribution is already built into the product
⚫️ For the market, it is a reminder that NFTs did not disappear; the format just moved closer to real user behavior
⚫️ If Gram Wallet expands this loop, Telegram collectibles may become one of TON’s strongest onboarding machines

Crypto spent years trying to sell NFTs as culture. Telegram may accidentally make them useful by turning numbers, usernames and gifts into assets people actually understand.

💎 Telegram replaces TON on Codeforces

Codeforces sponsorship did not disappear. The visible sponsor name simply changed from TON to Telegram, while the real story stayed almost the same: Durov is again backing one of the oldest algorithmic programming platforms connected to his personal history.

🔝 What changed
⚫️ Telegram returned as the title sponsor of Codeforces
⚫️ The site header now shows Telegram instead of TON
⚫️ Codeforces founder Mike Mirzayanov said the support will help keep contests running and the system maintained
⚫️ The platform is moving infrastructure to a more professional data center
⚫️ That should make Codeforces faster and more stable
⚫️ Mirzayanov also recalled that Durov first supported Codeforces back in 2010, when the project was still a niche site for competitive programmers

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ This is not a random banner swap
⚫️ Telegram is taking the public sponsor role where TON previously stood
⚫️ For TON, it looks like another case where the ecosystem fades into the background while Telegram becomes the front-facing brand
⚫️ For Durov, Codeforces is personal: algorithms, talent, ratings, public proof of skill
⚫️ The ICPC angle makes it even more interesting, because the same programming world is now tied to Dubai, infrastructure and global developer attention

TON got replaced on the header, but not necessarily pushed out of the story. Telegram just took the main signboard back. Classic Durov move: fund the infrastructure, own the narrative, and leave everyone guessing what the next “good news” means.

💎 Don’t follow the crowd. Follow the people watching the flow

Crypto crowds usually arrive late. They buy the noise, sell the panic and then wait for someone on X to explain what already happened. Professional traders play a different game: they track market movement before it becomes obvious.

BullRun Trader is built around that exact idea.

🔝 What’s inside
⚫️ Daily market moves and trading ideas
⚫️ Forecasts based on active market behavior
⚫️ Insider-style updates from people who actually watch the flow
⚫️ Signals for traders looking for clear setups
⚫️ A faster way to follow the market without drowning in random noise

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ In crypto, timing often matters more than loud predictions
⚫️ The crowd usually reacts after the move is already visible
⚫️ Traders need structure, not endless panic posts
⚫️ Good signals do not remove risk, but they help you stop trading blind
⚫️ Limited access makes the channel worth checking before it fills up

The market will always have two groups: people chasing candles after the pump, and people trying to understand the move before everyone else notices it.

BullRun Trader is for the second group.

💎 Trading is heating up again

The crypto market is moving, and everyone is arguing about the same old numbers. Some are waiting for Bitcoin at $1,000,000, others are waiting for $10,000, but active traders are not sitting around waiting for a perfect prophecy. They are watching the market, catching the moment and taking what the chart gives.

🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Volatility is back, and volatility is where traders look for opportunity
⚫️ Big predictions sound nice, but entries and exits matter more
⚫️ The market usually rewards timing, discipline and fast reaction
⚫️ PROtrading shows how traders look for that moment instead of guessing forever
⚫️ Signals, strategies and working setups are shared directly in the channel

Crypto loves loud forecasts. Traders care about the move that is happening right now.

💎 TON is pushing toward 600 TPS

Anatolii Makosov summed up the latest TON performance work: after the August 17 update, the network moved to the new collator-based architecture. Since late August, TON Core has been gradually raising limits and testing how far one shard can actually go.

🔝 What changed

⚫️ TON switched to the new collator architecture on August 17
⚫️ Validators no longer have to do everything alone
⚫️ Collators assemble blocks, while validators focus on verification
⚫️ TON Core has been increasing network limits step by step since late August
⚫️ In the latest test, one shardchain processed 600–650 TPS
⚫️ The test ran in sub-second mode for a token-transfer-like workload

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ This is the infrastructure TON needs before real Telegram-scale traffic arrives
⚫️ One shard doing 600+ TPS makes the scaling story look less theoretical
⚫️ Collators are becoming the engine behind higher throughput
⚫️ The network is being tuned on mainnet-style conditions, not just in clean lab tests
⚫️ For Gram Wallet, this matters because millions of users will not care about architecture — they will only notice if transactions start choking

TON is slowly proving that the pipes can get wider. Now comes the awkward part: waiting for enough real activity to actually fill them.
