✋️ NFT 2.0

A revolution? No, rather an evolution

Reminder - NFT numbers used for violating Telegram terms were already getting flagged as "restricted".

IP rights

Similar approach will be applied to NFTs minted using specifically NFT 2.0 standard - to handle IP right violations (avoidance to pay royalty fees).

IP owners' long-term vision and greediness

If a collection owners don't care about investing in project's future (creating an utility) - they can deploy the "old standard" NFT collection, even with 0% royalty fee configured within a smart contract. At the same time there's an expectation of the community that big brands won't be too greedy regarding royalty fee size. A correct balance must be achieved, otherwise it will be "pump & dump" or "no pump at all".

Users' greediness

If you're NFT flipper and don't care about NFT project's future, think about this: imagine you're a businessman selling physical Super Mario toys for kids, but you're getting those toys cheaper from a secondary market by avoiding royalty fees for Super Mario's IP owner - after some time IP owner stops investing into games development because of low income and you're left with a huge pile of worthless plastic.

User experience

Though there's a lot of confusion within the community - the user experience almost won't change. The ecosystem members (marketplaces, wallets, viewers, etc.) will sort out most of the integration issues. If you're the one who likes "extreme sports" like using marketplaces or bots avoiding royalty fees - that's your problem (same like in a real world scenario - buying iPhone from a stranger on a street).

Not just for big brands

Though this new standard was probably oriented to solve some legal and other problems for big IP owners, small projects (and even new ones) might also benefit from the NFT 2.0, especially having a low budget during the launch of NFT collection - they just need to create a great idea of NFT utility from a perspective of user.

Non-standard operations

Even if your NFTs are using the NFT 2.0 standard, there might be cases where a calculated royalty fee might be zero. NFTs staking, lending, renting and other non-standard revenue-generating operations — yes, it's still not very clear how to properly calculate a royalty fee for those operations, we should expect a bit more clearance on this whether it's a fee-free operation or not.

P.S. Telegram NFTs have royalty fees (including gifts), though they're being "avoided" most of the time.

Some music is so impactful that it inspired @monk to implement UX features for a broader range of users... 🤦‍♂️

💎 I'm confident that Telegram can achieve an even deeper integration of TON!

p.s. The video below contains some music 🎧

🎁 2026!

🐶 TON Browser released by the community itself!

We've been waiting for this since late 2023!

What's known for me from a publicly available information:

- TON Core team was working on this previously - a proxy and other network related stuff (on which they still continue doing code contributions), and a chromium-based browser app (but they "forgot" to finish and release it).

- Since an unknown point of time an independent developer(s) took over the browser app's development (or even created it from scratch) by connecting the missing dots.

🚀 It's the first public version, so be nice and report bugs and your ideas to the creators. Also, the project is open-source — feel free to make your code contributions.

P.S. buy TON domains - thank me later. NFA. DYOR.

🚀 Bogdanoff, it's happening...

🤖 Telegram starts using Cocoon and open-source AI models for its support services

But as all AI models worldwide (not just the ones used by Cocoon) are vulnerable to prompt injections - that's normal up to some level.

And that was predictable (just kidding - I just digged GitHub deeper), because some Telegram employees (or their freelancers) working with Cocoon - forgot to make some GitHub repositories as private: no data leaks, just some AI experiments with the main Telegram Support bot on which they're working... was that intentional? I'm not sure.

In the end - it's way cheaper than other AI API providers, but ROI for GPU owners is still too low, though it's nice that Telegram is putting modern clothes on, at last.
