Topic: TON’s User Boom: Outclassing Ghost Chains Like Cardano (Read 527 times)

And why would you get angry, it has been in the market for the last month or so, and with that, if investors missed the opportunity then the fault is with themselves. We can call it the new hype as well, there are a lot of online games being built on top of Ton now, and then we have the tap to earn games as well. So with that, no one should missed the opportunity as well as it is over the crypto market.

Although there could be one sign of fatigue already with the tap to earn as one of the airdrops, $Hamster was a disappointment to the community, and it could be the start of the decline although there are a lot of a upcoming airdrops and we really don't know if it is can still live up to the hype of giving good rewards to the community or the hype is started to die down as the market is being saturated already.

                    - I am actually expecting more from the TON, they will continue to grow this year and next year. and i hope they can keep it up.
Telegram is a big factor on their rise, im just a bit lucky that i hold some before it rose. more project to come and innovation at their end i am sure they will go higher.
Excited on how they will end the year.

There isn't a single truth in crypto, anything could happen, so we shouldn't shame people on trusting whatever they are trusting, they could turn out to be right and we could turn out to be wrong. Don't get me wrong, I am not doing the same thing neither, I agree with you and investing accordingly, I am just saying you and I can be wrong and putting both of us on the same team and saying he could be right.

I do not blame or shame anyone on what they think, this is their money and they are free to do whatever they want with their money, if they believe this is a good method then let them do whatever they want. While this is a very tough thing to handle and we will mostly risk too much for a little reward, I still let people decide their future.

Same Hawkins that gave a shout out to Sui network will soon replace Solana and you are still stuck in there. If you have invest in Ada, I will advice you to be optimistic and hopeful the bull run will make some recovery so you can sell and move on but the hype around Cardano will not make the price make the previous push up that we have had in the past, a lot of people bought the coin because of the hype and the team has failed to produce what they promised.

Do you even know why they have not been able to create the things the promised on the paper? That's because it failed to scale as they thought of the idea and after many attempts, the left it. If you want to verify my claim, please check the tokens that were launch on Ada chain, they are almost dead and many are dead. Check the TVL and it's dried up because people have moved to chain that are more productive than ideal with out any development.

TON is still low prices if considering it’s hype on the market, you know so many tap to earn airdrops project is launching, and where require to make TON transaction, so people’s have to invest in TON, but i didn’t see significant changes in price, i was invested in TON (6$ per coin) so still i am carrying losses. I think it’s not short term coin, if you can keep it long term hold then expect big profits.

While the trend was towards this one, we are not going to see it repeat again at all. What we need to do right now would be just ignoring all the situations we have at the moment, and TON being not so good anymore. I get it looks like rank is high at the moment but we are not going to get a great result that easily and we should avoid the coin.

Because we have seen people withdrawing their interest one by one, and this is why we need to consider how we could improve for the future as well. The sad part about what we are having right now is having TON being less interesting because one project did badly, and the funny part is ton did good because of one project as well. So the price went up because of one and down because of another.

indeed, currently it is popular on the Ton network in this telegram game, it is an that continues with the achievements they expect, but I think it is difficult to guess in the future, even though Ton almost lost its position in the top crypto rankings, solana and cardano will also increase depending on the trends that influence it.

despite the success in garnering attention and getting that massive userbase, I still see the ecosystem of TON as just full of some gimmick mini game app, never once I see a lively scene in TON blockchain where the defi racking valuation by the billions.
this is the only reason I'm so hesitant investing in TON for long, it seems like the ecosystem didn't put that much effort into cultivating itself to grow some reputable defi protocol in there.
maybe they are just waiting for interoperability with EVM blockchain but it'd be great if somehow TON could also have good defi as good as solana so they doesn't waste their potential after growing their userbase to such massive amount.
only then I think i will start accumulating more TON.

Its their time to trend and I hope they use their opportunities well because cryptocurrency is all about trend.
The Ton network has become quite popular as a result of these Telegram play to earn and tap to earn airdrops, and it is currently one of the most used networks in the cryptocurrency industry. Though I believe the trend is slowly fading away because the people who are primarily interacting on the chain are making such large transactions in order to earn airdrops, the TON chain is currently ahead of other platforms like Cardano, Solana, and others. This is because most projects are not meeting expectations, so the trend will eventually leave the TON chain and find another platform. In the past, Solana and Cardano chains operated in this manner, and I'm confident that when trends changed, they would

Your gut feeling is correct.. As long as these airdrops can sustain themselves and continue to be hosted on Telegram, and use Ton's chain then Ton's potential is secured, There were controversies involved Ton on the past but if it can handle all those airdrops who uses their chain, then they are on their way to compete on the top chain in the industry.

I still think Cardano's time would come years down the road. Hawkins is smart

The potential is huge for Ton, you just have to check the number of apps on their dashboard and the millions of supporters of these application, I like to think that Ton is going on the way of Ethereum, but it can only happen if the projects that use the ecosystem of Ton delivers, if not people will leave.
I think its time for the Ton developers to weed out bad actors on their applications, some applications are created to be the developers' cash cow.

Thank you very much! I do agree with you, and I hope to see TON climbing out of T2E craze with something better in the long run. Expenses are the real deal, and only time will tell how much TON will be talked about in the future.
Interfaces for smart contracts seem interesting to me personally.

RnD in the context of its future roadmap for its blockchain development.



https://ton.org/roadmap

Ton blockchain has a long-term research and development plan for its blockchain. So, they will continuously need funding to support it. They have expenses that must be covered at anytime.

Well TON is the most trending blockchain of this year. And it is for good reason and for bad reasons. And in last 12 months it did see user increase of 100 times for monthly active users.
And the TON blockchain does give its services to 12.4 Million users around the world. Alot of this is because of the HMSTR and DOGS airdrops.
https://u.today/ton-registers-stunning-100x-milestone-in-mau-details

What you are asking is something that does happen and needs to be noticed and listened to carefully. Will they indeed be able to run and last ? I also doubt that seeing the experience with other, chain eyes always there is no difference as of now with TON. Time will tell, but evidence has ever happened the same thing ever happened as of now in TON.

May I ask you, what is RnD in this context? I tried to google it, but it shows many meanings that go well there.

It most probably the funding from those Venture Capitals exchanged with some discounted tokens by TON foundation.



https://decrypt.co/155138/ton-foundation-announces-registration-as-swiss-non-profit

TON was non profit organization, and they have no active income to continue their RnD. So, they are seeking additional funding to keep their project alive.

So, they sold some discounted tokens to the venture capitals who're seeking legit tokens for long term investment to additional money to fund their research. And i remind you, there's no free launch these days.

The question is how long this effect of hype around the chain will last - after all, the most talk on TON currently is on T2E projects, and they are not the type to be long-lasting It's interesting to see what the community will come up with in the future related to the use cases for the chain.

indeed Ton TVL has increased, with rapid growth and all of that has become investor confidence to always trust it, with the trading volume achieved by Ton by positioning the largest crypto based on market capitalization with the good performance it has achieved.

The vision of TON to be open-source network with support from the ecosystem will drive more innovation in the Web3 space.

This added layer of investment support from VCs like Foresight and platforms like Bitget could be a confident boost to explore the infinite potential of the TON blockchain. The signs are overwhelming, resulting in the ecosystem's projects repeatedly having Launchpool on Binance. Data from DefiLama also shows TON TVL becoming top 10.

Why would Charle's get arrested? Durov's arrest was for for Telegram related affairs and not for TON.

TON itself is not listed on Binance |Spot market but its tokens are. I find it odd but yep the hype is there. Durov give in to the government though we all heard the news about giving away details of Telegram users from IP to its phone numbers. This is just giving more power to the government to spy on its users.

Charles's time has not yet come but there will be a time that he'd be arrested too. And maybe that's when he gives everyone's data and ADA will rise as well. I think that's all it takes to win the price competition. Just becoming centralized is the key to having a good price. 

Or it might be a just simple business.

Binance or any other exchanges for that matter are likely listing TON based coins like there's no tomorrow possibly just to capitalize on the userbases that these play-to-earn projects have, doesn't have to something big/special.

I believe TON won't disappoint me. Personally, I find the projects really worth investing in, especially as the market recovers and we head into a bull run. TON will keep growing, and I'm very excited about the TON ecosystem. I think it could break all records soon, and good thing it's already attracting many investors. I hope everyone can double, triple, or even make more money soon.
so, this is a great chance for anyone to buy in.

The age of TON is still relatively new in my opinion, and the collaboration with Telegram is also not long, but they are already in the top 10 coinmarketcap, this is a very high success, where the project has a lot of interest because it has a very large user base on Telegram, and what is interesting is how they will develop again in the future, after tap to earn and others are building from web2 Apps to Dapps and other web3 as social media networking technology increases.

This trend will not fade away if the current projects continue to pay their participants on miniapps properly then there will be more users and more ecosystems built, the network traffic will be very heavy in the future with 900 million monthly active users, this also gives a reason why meme projects on the TON network can be listed on many major exchanges such as Binance, bybit, OKX and others because the TON ecosystem has many users.


My personal view if we want to invest in this project is very potential for the bullrun season now, because they are indeed at the right momentum, then I have enough reasons why TON did not move too high when Bitcoin started to bounce back, the basic reason is their Telegram CEO is still in trouble, and after Durov is out I think TON and its ecosystem will rise and lead the altseason.

Having some high hopes about something that is hyped is a risky business like mentioned, I think TON is something that looks like the new big thing, and I believe that it will continue to do this for a while. The benefit for TON right now is that we are on verge of the bull run, halving happened so four year cycle says that we are soon going to start going up.

So, TON did go up before the bull run and will go up after the bull run starts as well and it will be very high and we should not really be expecting anything lower from it neither. It should be doing fine and we are going to see this growing to a level where it will be quite that bad. I think until the bull run ends, TON will keep growing and making money for the investors.

TON is making it big because it already has a very large audience.
Releasing the TON network attracted many users since it was launched by Telegram or their native app itself.
There was no trust issue in this case and hence it got massive audience welcoming the new chain.
On top of that the mini apps were something unique which we haven't seen yet and so it's a trend these days.
But trends fade away and so will the mini apps and if TON doesn't get something new then it will go down just as other coins.

Yep, only time will tell if it was worth it.
But TON won't die down anytime soon, in my opinion.
A good investment to get while the price is good.

I believe that TON is not improving or at least innovating fast enough, it would lose its position if it keeps trusting these telegram projects will be the ones that will make it go higher, I think it is not a smart move and shouldn't be really the way we should go. I think the best way to move forward will be just focusing on what TON could do next and what other type of projects that it could get.

If it can do something else, like add in another feature, get some more hype then it would definitely be great, but if it doesn't then there is nothing that we can do, it will not be all that simple at all. We need to focus on something that is getting to a point where it will not be simple enough and we will end up with some troubles for sure.

Why am I seeing TON posts in most places I turn to because of the investment they got from Foresight and the crypto exchange.....? This has been what we all know as the expansion plan for adoption, I actually like the concept and I am happy for TON team over the collaboration I do hope and trust that they will build to be very big, at least shoot for the position of BNB and if tough, they could overtake the Cardano ecosystem, because they have been able to take over the trend from Solana memes which I though were strong enough to be like this, but from observation, what has been giving the TON ecosystem a hedge over other tokens is the community using telegram and how easy it is to access, which is what SOL blockchain don't have at the moment, or what do you think?

Yes, it is true that TON is widely used by mini app games on Telegram and so far there have been some surprising successes from the airdrop project such as dogs and others, but what I see now is that the price of TON coins is falling and I think that is an opportunity to own it

TON chain was hyped mostly by mini-apps and tap to earns, I don't see Durov as the main contributor here, though what you described really made everyone pumped up for the TON to go down in price.
We will see how TON chain will feel itself in the future, in a year or so. After mini-apps era will fade away.

Beating out ADA isn't really that shocking, but TON shouldn't really be feeling like it is a lasting thing that they have, it is going to end up with a drop in value as well and it won't be all that easy to replicate that neither. I think we should be seeing this getting a different approach and I feel like the best thing to do would be just focusing on what we can do, and it wouldn't really be that crazy to handle it neither, we should be considering this as something that is taking a bit of time and eventually it will happen.

I believe that we can't see something changing but it could be something that will hurt TON investors as well if you keep thinking that it will ben great, because we know that it will not be all that great at all and the price will eventually drop when this hype ends.

To be honest I still didn't understand with recent funding I mean Ton blockchain already live for a years right now and they still accept investors for what return right? Does the ton team give their ton token with a lower price

I did double check here https://cryptorank.io/ico/toncoin



because also recently the ton foundation creating Ton ventures https://tonventures.io/#portfolio

This is my opinion maybe the recent funding used by ton to fuel their ecosystem through Ton ventures

The only reason why TON network has gotten some hype attracted to it is because of the Telegram itself and of course the creator of it Nikolai Durov who has been in the headlines lately making a lot of noise when he got arrested for refusing to cooperated with the Israeli terrorist to censor any post that shows their genocide in Gaza.
These things don't last that long though, after a couple of months they usually fade away specially if another token platform starts being hyped up.

TON blockchain still need cash, just recently they raised $30M from bitget to accelerate their growth.



moreover many of projects inside TON ecosystem pretty much also getting some big fundraising, TON is still at its early phase and there's so many untapped potential that can be a leverage to get massive funding and further boost their ecosystem through incentives.

moreover I expect TON blockchain to still doing some big development on overcoming their scalability issue that recently froze their blockchain because massive on chain interaction caused by dogs airdrop.

I agree with your point that they need more quality project. Maybe a gamefi on ton chain or Defi, liquidity mining..but it's a good start though. But this $30m investments by foresight X bitget is a good step..hopefully they improve their ecosystem with it and integrate quality features that'll drive mass adoption..

Ton was not on the radar of many investors but it is now, but they are adamant because of Pavel Durov's issue because Telegram is still very much attached to the Durov's even though they left their stakes on their chain.
They want to read more positive news before they become comfortable investing on TON.
So much depends on the success of projects created on the Telegram platform, if the majority of these become successful, it will create positive feedback for Ton chain, making them competitive in the industry, and I agree that Ton could be the next big thing in the chain industry, and now is the best time to acquire more of it.

First of all TON developer doenst really need cash since back then Telegram support the development of TON unlike the other and after that Ton gaining popularity because the telegram itself that already have million of user maybe billion right now.

After a long story short ton became more popular when the famous game NOTCoin joined the space and from there the number of active users kept up USDT in the ton is reaching 1B


https://tether.to/en/transparency/?tab=usdt

The number is below Solana 

While Cardano is good but it lost its popularity since crypto is full of competition Layer 2 alone is eating up all the space right now

Considering that binance keep on listing any TON project in existence it kinda gives me the impression that there might be something big going on in the ton ecosystem.

Catizen and Hamster Kombat being listed in binance within short amount of time and both of them are the same kind of project in the same ecosystem means the whole ton blockchain might be having something special going on. moreover the trading volume is always high with these TON coin because it's currently the hype and it works wonder for an exchange that seeks huge trading volume and inflow of new users, of course the other old chain like cardano which never truly have something going on in the blockchain will be overshadowed because honestly it's not fair comparison, cardano is just remnant of the past.

Telegram is amazing for several reasons. I personally like to use it for my music with no commercials or BS, and I also keep up with a small number of channels I am interested in. For TON, to keep growing, at some point, they need much higher quality projects than paid to tap! That junk is doomed to fail and will hopefully be replaced by much better efforts.

Cardano had been an overhypped old and obsolete chain. For any projects to succeed, they should be introduced with or go for private sale after proper development, strategy and roadmap. When you are selling coins and saying you are developing for a whole decade, you'd be left behind. Cardano do have a working chain and dapps over it but at the moment, they are not as popular for various reason.
Meanwhile TON was ready to host dapps when it launched. Many people predicted it could be the next Solana and even though the price has not increased significantly, its already a major utility coin.

Ton continues to attract investors as it is rapidly expanding with $729M USDT in just 4 months since its integration into Telegram. Its growth has been supported by an expanding user base, particularly through Telegram's implementation of features like mini-apps and tokenized gaming integrations. It also secured investment from Bitget and foresight ventures https://www.theblock.co/post/316975/bitget-foresight-ventures-invest-30-million-in-ton-blockchain?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social. My gut feeling is this chain will be the next to make a lot of people angry because of the missed opportunities.
