If you've been on X this week you've seen TON moving. Over 100% in days.
I was an official creator for TON for over two years, through their last peak. So I've been involved along different moments.
This is what's actually happening, and the opportunity.
This pump has a name, and it's Pavel
On May 5, Pavel posted that fees on TON have already dropped 6x, down to nearly zero.
And then the bigger one. Telegram is replacing the TON Foundation as the driving force behind the chain, and becoming its largest validator.
He called the page he linked it from MTONGA.
Make TON Great Again.
The focus, in his words, shifts to tech superiority.
The first wave
The first move was fast. TON is already up over 100% in days.
But the timeline Pavel put on this transition is 2 to 3 weeks. The new ton.org, the dev tools, the performance upgrades, none of that has fully landed yet.
If you're watching this and feeling like you missed it, I'd hold that thought.
The opportunity
The most direct way to position for what's happening is to start using the Wallet in Telegram (@wallet_tg).
Why? Because it's already inside your app right now. It's the on-ramp to everything happening on TON, and it just launched a rewards program that's rewarding you for activity you'd be doing anyway.
This is exactly what you get and how it works.
🔵 Wallet Rewards.
You earn points by trading inside the app (crypto, stocks, and ETFs are all in there now), and you spend those points on reward boxes.
First season prize pool is $500K, closing May 20. And 20% of the points your friends earn from trading also come back to you.
Even if you're coming in late on the leaderboard, you can still pull points and use them on boxes. Once the first season closes, the next one starts and the leaderboard resets. So getting set up now positions you for both.
The wallet is already inside your Telegram. You just have to open it, stay ahead, join here.
