We share Telegram's fight for freedom of speech - that's why our messenger features end-to-end encryption by default and decentralized moderation.
We believe true strength lies within the community.
Freedom of expression and the ability to moderate reckless behavior belong in the hands of users themselves.

Communication is a fundamental part of human nature.
It must remain private.
It must remain free - not something you have to earn or pay for.
Blocking, monetizing, or surveilling communication is like forbidding people to breathe.

We're not trying to replace Telegram.
We see it as friendly competition - a technological race that can push both projects to improve.
If our messenger inspires Telegram to get better, that's a win for everyone.
Our goal is to strengthen the messenger ecosystem and bring it back to the principles the community once believed in.

We're deeply grateful that the community responded to our idea.
Special thanks to TON Monitoring for sharing the news about our launch.

We'll continue to publish our development progress and decision-making openly.
If you disagree with something, please tell us - we read every message and will always look for the most balanced solution.

Perhaps our story wasn't told as vividly as it could be, and maybe we missed a few details or links between events.
If you think so, give us a thumbs-down - we'll improve next time.

Next week, we'll talk about fighting bots and scammers.
