📈 Price volatility is an unwritten standart in crypto and TON's smooth growth comes as a surprise for the newcomers, nevertheless this is the way how the original founders saw the blockchain future.

Smooth and predictable growth allows to build long-term plans and keep fees low (which, however, can be adjusted by validator voting in case of a sharp rate hike) — this is especially important in the context of TON's desire for mass adoption and the team developing the blockchain understands this perfectly well.

Volatility and unstable rates are useful for traders, but in reality most of these trades are more like a casino game, especially when they are not backed by knowledge and strategy.

The real benefit and profitability should come from blockchain-based products, and here we come back to creating an enabling environment — it's hard to make long-term plans if the price of the underlying coin changes by thousands of percent every quarter.

The current development matches quite closely with what was described in the original documentation describing the blockchain. From coin distribution to messenger integration. Even the increased demand after the release followed by a correction was seen as a baseline scenario. You can read more about the document's contents below.💎

🔧 First hack of the year, the Orbit Bridg by developers of the Megaton exchange.

$88 million was stolen, mostly Ethereum users were affected, but for security reasons it is better to refrain from using their products.

Gram has emerged as the most decentralized coin in TON with a chaotic distribution.

While Gram has a founder, it does not have an owner, defined tokenomics or a roadmap. Each member of the community autonomously decides the significance of Gram to them. All of us stand as neutral observers with equal authority.

I did not launch Gram with the intention of it reaching a specific price or a market capitalization in the millions.

Following the publication of my Jetton revolution concept and the launch of $GRAM, I checked the work of miners and went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to see that the large givers were drained. Next, someone added liquidity and with the ongoing mining of medium givers, active trading on the DEX platforms has begun. As a result, I'm neither an early miner nor a large holder of $GRAM.

As a developer, I was mainly focused on the technical side of the project instead of buying GPUs or preparing for mining in any other way. I devoted considerable time to testing the contract, assessing the givers' difficulty, creating the website and the mining manual along with maintaining the official channel @gramcoinorg.

Gram is often referred to as "the second bitcoin" thanks to its decentralization. I am glad that Gram was launched on TON Blockchain, developing on its own in a vibrant community of developers and enthusiasts.

I continue to actively watch the unfolding events with great interest.

🌐 Several years ago, an independent team of developers began building a blockchain based on TVM, forking the original TON sources. This initiative grew into Ice Open Network (ION), a Layer-1 blockchain platform preparing to launch its mainnet along with a suite of ecosystem services.

ION is designed to facilitate the development of decentralized applications (DApps), emphasizing user privacy and censorship resistance. The platform introduces several key services: ION ID, ION Connect, ION Liberty, ION Vault and ION Pay.

One of ION’s standout features is its Drag-and-Drop dApp Builder, enabling users to create decentralized applications without any coding experience. This tool simplifies the transition from Web2 to Web3, making blockchain accessible for a wider audience.

The synergy between ION and the TON ecosystem is another key strength. Projects on both platforms can share infrastructure, fostering collaboration, mutual growth, and innovation. To support this vision, a partnership has been established to enhance the user experience with a focus on:

🔴 Running an validator
🔴 Developing the Official Explorer
🔴 Launching Liquid Staking on ION

ION’s approach combines technological innovation with accessibility, aiming to provide robust tools for developers and seamless adoption for users. Together, these efforts contribute to the growth of a decentralized and user-driven blockchain ecosystem.
