A lot of people only noticed TON after it started getting attention.

I knew it before that, when conviction mattered more than attention.

To me, it was never just about price. It was a vision, and I was around when that vision had to survive on belief, community, and people who kept building even when the spotlight was not on them.

I’ve watched TON live through chapters most projects do not make it through. Telegram had to step away; the community carried it forward, and TON kept going when most people had already moved on.

Now, seeing TON back in Telegram's orbit again feels like the vision found its way back home. You only really understand that feeling if you were around early.

26th May 2021 is more than a date.

It reminds me that real visions can be delayed, doubted, and tested, but they do not disappear easily. In many ways, that feels like @monk too, patient, resilient, and still tied to the vision he started against all odds.

🥳 Happy 5th birthday to The Open Network 🤑

Over the past few weeks, I’ve shipped a lot of updates to @Hoton

- Major UI/UX improvements
- USDT payments for Telegram Premium & Stars 💵
- Improved referrals system + cleaner referral links
- Better purchase history
- Telegram third-party verification 👑 for accounts, channels & bots. (appears on the left side of my name on my profile @damx & the @hoton_tg channel )

@hoton is becoming more than just a cheaper way to buy Telegram Stars & Premium.

More updates soon.

guess what’s gonna happen next? 👀

How’s the crypto market treating you now? 📉

In the next @hoton update, you’ll be able to buy stars, premium etc for multiple Telegram accounts at once.

Great for organising giveaways 🎉

1 GRAM won on the poll but the chat mostly said stars.

So don’t know which to do. 🤔
