Following yesterday's post, some people were concerned that if Telegram sells advertisements exclusively through TON, it may end up owning an unreasonable share of Toncoin, compromising the decentralization of the ecosystem. Pavel acknowledged these concerns and proposed a logical solution.
To limit Telegram's share to ≈10% of TON supply, Telegram will sell excess ownership to long-term investors. They will get it with a lock-up and vesting plan of 1-4 years, but at a discount to market price. This will limit the amount of Toncoins in circulation, stabilizing the ecosystem and reducing volatility.
Potential investors are already actively trying to reach us about this subject. To make the process of acquiring TON from Telegram fair and orderly, we have created an email address investors@telegram.org for large investors ($1M+).
The greater the number of long-term TON holders, the more stable and decentralized our ecosystem will become.
Yours long-term @TonPost
