In the grand theater of life, where silence often speaks louder than words, Pavel Durov, that elusive figure of the digital age, has finally graced us with his thoughts on The Open Network (TON). It is a rare moment indeed, akin to a comet streaking across the night sky, illuminating the dark corners of our ignorance. With a flourish, he revealed that the titans of Silicon Valley—those high priests of capital—have collectively bestowed upon TON a staggering $400 million. Yes, you heard it right! Not just a mere pittance, but a veritable treasure trove, accompanied by their public endorsement, as if to say, “Fear not, for we are with you!”
In his characteristic pragmatic style, Durov painted a picture of TON’s ascent, likening it to a phoenix rising from the ashes of mediocrity. Over the past year, it has morphed into Telegram’s financial backbone—the sole conduit through which creators can extract their hard-earned earnings, the exclusive payment channel for advertisements in most markets, and the indispensable blockchain for the countless souls navigating the labyrinth of mini apps.
📈 A splendid month for The Open Network: the giants of venture capital have showered over $400M upon TON, offering their public blessing. Among them, the legendary Sequoia, Benchmark, Ribbit, Draper, VY, and other illustrious funds of the world 💸

Even the digital treasures of Telegram—those coveted usernames and whimsical virtual gifts—now find their existence tethered to the TON blockchain, transformed into NFTs. “The in-app economy is scaling faster than anticipated,” Durov muses, perhaps with a hint of disbelief, as if he had stumbled upon a hidden treasure map.
He extolled TON’s technical prowess, highlighting its sharding architecture, designed to handle transactions at a scale befitting a user base nearing one billion souls. In a world rife with speculation, he boldly declared it one of the few blockchains grounded in solid fundamentals, rather than the ephemeral whims of the market.
This revelation emerged just as Durov emerged victorious from his legal duel with the French authorities, a battle that could rival the most gripping of novels. Ah, the irony of it all! In a world where the absurd often reigns supreme, one can only chuckle at the twists and turns of fate.
