He's the global community lead for Ton. And uh we're going to have a chat with him. So again, drop the comments and we will talk with you guys later at the end of the stream. Okay. So, let's welcome Victor. Hey, GMGM. Thank you for having me. Happy to be here. How you guys doing? GM chat. How is your day going? Make sure to make some noise. We got to share some insights with you here today. Let's get it started. Yeah. So, GM Victor, thanks for joining us. Uh before we drive like into like everything about John, could you tell us a bit more about yourself? So what's your background and how did you get into ton? Yeah, I think that's an interesting one. So and my background it's a good question how much I could also say but to be brief um for the last I'd say six years of my life um I've been working in large social media at first and then exploring mainstream media as a whole industry uh that operates together. So not just in regards to the social media in the particular but it also includes the news and how they relate to what's happening convert the stories taking the beginning uh and all then I learned how to abuse algorithms of many platforms um including X and even X itself took actions against me in the past I was twice suspended on X with my profile uh someone you know and twice brought back which I'm very grateful to X.

Thank you guys. I'm not abusing your platform anymore like I I did that once. I know you are not welcoming this. Um but in short it is my passion. I love media for what it is. I love the industry. I love it as a whole machine that operates. And I believe there is two type of people. The ones that are uh trying to change that and influence this change. And there are people that are okay with the way the industry is and just learning and using that to their advantage or the brands that they work for. Um so I choose the latter. I don't care for actually fixing the social media nor it's the biggest point of my concern. Of course I love the freedom of speech. uh but then it is much more complex topic and uh I'm glad that there are fighters for this topic such as Elon Musk and Pav Durf and I do support them on this but uh myself I wouldn't be even trying uh as hard because this is a very dangerous game to play and I think you see what's happening with Pavl so that addresses my concerns in this regard um but yeah this is how it started then I've been for the last like six years of my life exploring media industry applying my knowledge and practice.

Um, I worked as a marketing advisor with many brands. Um, I've used algorithms of many different platforms. I actually started with a Tik Tok. Um, and the first video on Tik Tok I ever released got 300 plus thousand views, more than 30,000 likes and after that I deleted Tik Tok and never used it again pretty much. But yeah, that's a story. But um, really, you know, the influence is not necessarily what I'm going after. Uh what I like is that people just got to listen what I got to say and I choose X as the main platform because I do uh want to be able to distribute the news and operate as a journalist uh rather than just build the fan base. And I'm glad that you guys all supporting me that you're reading me and taking your time to listen to us here today.

I'm truly appreciative of this. But my intent was never to really become as big uh in my own personal brand. this just happened as a result and uh I joined on I'd say like one and a half year ago around this it was last spring beginning of the spring I'd say firstly how it happened is because my friend um he was constantly talking about fun and talking about this wallet integration how easy it is to do everything inside of the single app and I was like bro if you're telling me the truth this is the future of crypto this is where the mass adoption guy came from and I start writing about this and at the third time I wrote a thread. I thought it turned out pretty cool. So I sent it to Tom blockchain page and uh they replied to me hey sorry we cannot retweet this uh we didn't know you write such an awesome content we may get something else for you send us a DM on telegram and uh they got me a job that's basically how it happened but the story is that at that time I was actually looking for a job I wanted a little bit more stability and I got a little tired of constantly grinding and um it's a matter of you know just doing something continuously toward the same direction and getting paid and appreciated for it.

Um, and then more than 30 companies didn't actually hire me because I don't have any marketing degree. I'm self-taught. I've learned everything myself. I've read countless amount of books. I keep on studying algorithms. I keep on paying attention to it daily to all the global and massive changes. Um, I like paying attention to the news and the global trends even though I don't talk about them. I mean, I probably do pay attention here. And sometimes some of the wording in my posts is particularly chosen to just simply attract a little bit more visibility where at times what I want that's the result that I get of course but um it's been a journey and then I came in at ton as a uh content uh well I was like helping to create a content uh for Tom blockchain page and our telegram channel. uh but then my role quickly evolved and uh I became global community lead uh to be honest the community choose uh me as the main resource for the news.

So um it's been incredible journey and I'm happy to be here today and uh there is more news uh in that regard towards the community and interaction with community going to be coming out this Friday. So, you got to wait a little bit for the official announcement, but we continue to expand and we want to build even better relationship with everyone uh on our social media and to make sure they seen and they appreciate it. And uh happy to be here, happy to chat and this is a little bit about me. It's been quite a journey in some uh through ups and downs, criticism and pleasant feedback. It's been both, but I think that's what the industry is about. And nothing always going to be perfect, but we're going to be here to overview, speak about this, and I'm going to cover news regardless of how they are. Some people may not like the news. Uh, some people may have more questions because of the news, but you won't have a legit information.

That's why you read my page. And I'm try trying to always be on point. I'd say my accuracy is like 99.5% probably. Yeah, that's a lot. I mean uh it's been really like a natural journey for you to join Ton and also for you to be who you are right now uh at this point of your career not not only on Ton but also in your personal page. So guys uh if you want to follow Victor just go and search for someone you know that's him.

So yeah this is actually not a fun story though. I changed my username to someone you know. Um, when I left my country in pursuit of uh living my dream and moved to Portugal and it kind of was a funny joke. It started actually with Instagram, not even with X. I changed my username because I wanted to be someone, you know, to all the people that knew me in the past so they would watch my Instagram and see me living my best life. And today guys, I am someone you know and you all know me by this username. So the joke turned out pretty fun and went very far uh over the course of years and yeah been pretty entertaining. I mean it worked out. So let's move on to the next question which is what are Telegram gifts and why the prices like have the prices of these collectible gifts on tone shot up so much recently? Yeah.

Well, there is many reasons for that. Um let's start firstly with what they are. So at the end of the last year 2024 Telegram uh released gifts. At first they weren't upgradable. No one know what they are. It's just them coming out and like releasing gifts that are accessible to people in stars which is the currency that Telegram introduced due to the Apple policy. I mean you probably know the story. If you don't ask Grock, it will tell you more context, but um originally gifts been sold in stars and so there's been the original bundle.

So it's the first collections that came out that includes plush pep, care, sign rings, um the rough caps, uh precious peaches, etc. There is a few of those collections and they mainly smaller supply collections other than maybe like a birthday type of thing. Um, and then Telegram actually planned the update for gifts to become collectibles inside of Ton ecosystem. Uh, NFTTS on chain if you will. Um, basically the update was planned to literally be released on the new year but it was a trouble. It got stuck for a couple days with the Apple once again it's Apple nothing unusual Apple review.

So it arrived a couple days later. That's where plush weapons became upgradable and started their journey. for example, alongside with many gifts. Um, original mean price literally was 30 bucks. Uh, today the plush floor I had assume around 15 $16,000. Uh, it's like the fifth most expensive NFT collection by the floor price across all chains. Um, I think heart locket uh is number eight most expensive NFT collection across all chains uh which also recently entered the chat uh because they have also small supply.

Uh so Telegram NFT gifts are collectibles on some blockchain released by Telegram itself. And why is it important? Because Telegram already has a history of releasing onchain assets. They released usernames in the past. Uh which by the way, if you didn't know guys, you could own your username as an NFT on. They released anonymous numbers which also been blowing up lately. Nobody's talking about anonymous numbers. Do you know that they have a supply of like 160,000 pieces or 130,000? It's like it's a big collection. and the floor price of like nearly a thousand to a little bit below that. Um, but Telegram anonymous numbers the same way being released as an onchain asset by Telegram couple years ago. And so if you want to see the performance over time of assets released by Telegram, I'd say this is the best reference we've got. So that's why I right away kind of got to be a believer in gifts. I didn't really hold myself much back. I've educated people where and how to get them.

Make sure that we have dedicated content created by the community members and that the awareness spread. So that's where the original journey starts. So the next thing is that a lot of Dentians from other chains found them very interesting because first of all Telegram has a billion monthly active users. Everyone in crypto already has Telegram. So for them it was uh a great opportunity to explore something new on the new chain especially as they start seeing the volume coming in etc. and people trading them and then people flexing them on their telegram profiles is one of the major drivers for awareness of the telegram NFT gifts and uh now today it is continue to escalate and there is many factors to it so first of all me Zenif Martin we went to several events including token 2049 in Dubai including NFC in Lisbon and we've been on boarding people on onetoone basis going to them educating them about gifts and sending them a gift we've spent I don't know like hundreds of watches guys.

We've we've given away like thousands of dollars. I think tens of thousands to be honest. Like it's a lot of money. Um I mean I got myself one too. Yeah, exactly. That's what I mean. You're like, "Oh, I like this dipsy thing." And Zen was like, "Oh yeah, I've got one. Let me send you. Let me on board you." So that's pretty much it how we've done that with a lot of people. And then the fun unofficial statistics been shared by Martin, but majority of them actually helped. uh nearly no one sold and many people actually went and bought more gifts and went flexing it. So we on boarded people this way and the thing is when we were in Dubai what interesting happened is uh we've been sharing with one of the guy who is a whale from Ethereum he's no in crypto and he was like what is like the crypto punk of telegram and Tom and we told him like literally in the same voice at the same time with Zenith plush pepe he in front of us breached one Ethereum two ton went and bought it and said he will buy 1% of total supply of plush peppers and looking at the price today I could say that he probably did.

I mean, I never chatted to the guy after that, but I'm sure he got at least one uh which was definitely incredible journey for him, but I think he probably got more. And then from there, that is a lot of word of mouth. So, people spread that to their friends, educate them, and then us on the timeline constantly speaking about this, of course, uh d more traffic. But one of the major breakthroughs being when uh other projects uh and OG NFT collections start to come in and launching stickers and for them to attract more attention they start channel and they do the giveaways and they also add the gifts to their profiles because you can add gifts not only to your personal profile but also to your channel which is very cool. And so the last one was Aluki for example joined yesterday and uh they bought a plush pepper the red one and put it on their profile which looks incredibly cute.

Uh but what I'm saying is this being yet another driver for a lot of exposure awareness um towards the NFTs on ton in general not only the gifts but the stickers are also went kind of ballistic yesterday. Uh I think there are some charts many have shared on his page. So if you missed that guys check it out but uh stickers um has been a great on boarding tool. Gifts been a great on boarding tool and the overlap of new communities uh trying to get new exposure and this massive potential of a billion monthly active users. They're joining into the telegram more and more and into ton ecosystem. And we've got just chimpers came in. Uh we've got theuki came in. Uh we've got also moonbirds just stepped in and even people that been very skeptical like okay we're listening what's happening here and I understand you guys because at first when I saw that I was like no [ __ ] way this is like this is like probably released the new Bitcoin in a sense uh it's it's been enormous because we already seen what Telegram achieved previously.

So that's a little bit about the gifts. That's how we got where we are at today. And there is a lot happening behind the scenes of course and shout out to the builders and to marketplaces because tunnel in particular Mr. Freeman on ton done tremendous work and shout out to this guy. I mean tunnel is dominating the market share of telegram nft gifts capturing more than 50% every day. I mean it's a it's a number one place to go and majority of other marketplaces are copying the features from Mr.

Freeman. It's the same story as WhatsApp and Telegram is technically tunnel and all other marketplaces. It's like he's the first guys. He's the first to introduce gifts uh actually to be tradable. He's the first that introduced giveaways uh in the channels. He's the first to introduce giveaways even to do on your live streams on Twitch for example now which also driven a lot of traffic and then the Russian celebrities more and more uh and Russian streamers talk about it online as well and on their streams and giving them away and that inevitably driving more traffic and adoption toward the NFT gift market and NFTs on. Uh so that's a little bit about that and shout out to Mr. Freeman uh who did such an important big step and he's actually done it all himself. He didn't have the support of foundation, didn't get any grants. The guy went and built it and community supported him and all the achievements are his.

No one can ever take that away and we're very happy to see such a dedicated builders in Tom. It's incredible results. Yeah. So, thank you so much for this explanation. I think uh right now we need to talk more about those things. I mean gifts are everywhere. If you have an X account, if you have a Telegram account, you've seen it before. So yeah, it's something for us to pay attention. And my next question is actually what is the impact that you guys are expecting or already having in like tone uh in general or like uh what is the impact that you guys are like seeing that the gifts are going to have on mini coins? So yeah that's actually an interesting question. So first of all many people think that oh well that's tripping attention from memes actually uh not really I think it's giving memes even a new opportunity and then as far as I'm aware bloom uh for example generates a big chunk of onchain activity on I mean I may be mistaken but if I'm not it's like around 20% of onchain activity that that is coming out of you guys.

So I mean memecoins are definitely living their own life and so on and even though people are not eagerly paying attention our chain is getting upgraded and substantially faster um with its own core developing further making sure that the high frequency trading is going to become more sleek because that's been one of the major issues for the newcomers. So speaking of how the gifts are playing out for the meme culture, there is kind of um a few things to go about this. Well, first of all, there is like a utility token um that I would love to just discuss a little bit. For example, tunnel because if you own their token, it's not it's not a meme coin technically, right? It's it's a utility token, but if you got their token, you do get lower fees on the platform, which is 10% which is a lot.

So, a lot of people would love to have said that they do got a token. That's why probably the token is doing as it's doing on the market. Um, but then speaking of the memes in particular, I don't know actually which meme pad it came from. I never checked, but I've seen in reply several times people been creating meme coins uh for the topic of the gifts. Uh, I'm not suggesting anyone like do any stupid decisions.

Please don't. I'm just saying that there are gifts and they have their own communities and there are some people that creating me clients. Um, and I mean it's risky. It's, you know, you do whatever you want. I I'm not the one to advise you, but I'm saying that this is an interesting dynamic to see that the memecoin community also seeing gifts are like, oh, we're going to create something similar to that. And uh, I would assume several been launched in the Bloom Mead. Maybe you're aware of some of them, too. Yeah, I mean some stuff. Well, that's pretty interesting. So, going further, so the memes uh there is a lot that will happen throughout 2025 still and uh it it is deeply has to do uh with the updates of the the open network itself by its own core. So, as the updates keep on rolling out and you can track their progress, they're posting it every single month.

Okay, it's accessible on my page uh in highlights. Uh the latest report was posted yesterday, I believe, and you can go and check that out, read through what they've done, what they working on, and see the progress they made. And so judged by uh the outlook uh of this report, I could say that we're slowly moving toward memecoin trading on tong being faster, easier, and cheaper, which is very crucial in terms of adoption from existing digents and users because attracting new users for them, it's also a little bit scary, but it's okay. They may wait a little bit, it's fine. But when you take a D aents that used to sell and buy tokens in seconds and they're like oh they have to wait for let's say 10 seconds for the confirmation they're like why so long? Well it's because the speed to finality has to be improved and Tomcore is actively working on this.

So once that is done I would expect much more interest uh in the meme coins and the organic development in this sector. Plus I mean we we may still have couple thoughts we're still discussing on this matter. what could we do to help community forming uh formation and building uh around the meme coins too? Um yeah, but this is a topic for later on. Yeah, sure. I mean uh guys just like but um sorry, can you guys hear me? Yes, you're back. Yes, we can hear you now. Okay. So, yeah, I mean do your own research and be aware of stuff. Uh I mean follow those guys on X Telegram like join channels because as more information you have the best chances are for you to get a better outcome from this. And uh moving on to the next question actually uh I was going to ask about how do telegram features accelerate the interesting tone itself because I mean some people do think that telegram and tone are the same thing and they are not. No they are not they are completely separate and it's actually very good.

Um and I guess I mean in public eyes in public perception of course people mistakenly think it's a it's the same thing. So it comes from the fact that Telegram originally has created it and it's infrastructure like in the sense of the blockchain itself and then got abandoned and overtook by the active community of developers. So people like you guys in the chat were like no we're not going to let this thing die and continue to develop it where Telegram completely abandoned the idea because they got in whole legal trouble very big trouble and it's you could read about this right it's all public so um and then Tom Foundation formed itself around uh that is technically formed on the donations from miners so Tom Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is doing things on the behalf of on the open network development where Telegram utilizing ton as like to put it in the good reference for you um telegram is technically the biggest uh application using ton so bloom technically speaking is another application using ton so there is like it's the same thing as bloom as telegram to the use of ton the telegram is just bigger scale and they are integrating some directly into existing platform where many apps getting built on top of this platform but in the sense they all using the open network and they're using it just as a user just as you guys in the chat just as any other builder and Telegram doesn't have any special treatment in that either.

It's not that they could do something else. No, it's like there is the code. If they want to have certain things upgraded, they would need to make sure that the code exists, that the code uh will handle this and it's done on the side of the open network code and it's done on the side of the Telegram code and uh because it's originally been developed by Telegram, it's much easier for them to make the synergy. Uh but for example, Telegram usernames is NFTs on Tom blockchain released by Telegram themselves and it would be similar as if notcoin would release NFTs technically speaking and then they still use the smart contracts that leave on chain. What they did though is they linked up these onchain assets uh to the telegram. This is the link that they've built uh pretty much that very interesting but uh to my point they just relying on the open network as truly decentralized blockchain that they also don't have any power of so I mean you often like guys in community often say oh why this project is allowed to build on telegram and tone well because tone is the open network everyone could use it the same way as you know 99% of things on salana are obviously scams going to zero.

It doesn't mean that it's a bad chain or that Salana should do anything about this. The similar thing with Ton. It's just people do abuse this technology and Telegram does it best to label things as a scam if they obviously a scam. Um so it's incredible synergy. Baton is just the open network, just the blockchain.

And a lot of people still don't understand we don't have control over projects. We don't have control over what people do. We don't have control over price either. We have a control of the network adoption and then further awareness that we're building and that's what we're doing. Of course, we want to see the price increase. Of course, we want to see more people come in and we are constantly working toward that as our leadership team, as our marketing team, as our community team. Uh we all doing that. We all trying to do our best in achieving that for the ecosystem at scale. And I think it's an incredible journey so far and it is one of the most vibrant ecosystems that got a lot to offer button and tone not the same thing. Yeah, that's important to highlight. So yeah, thank you for your answer and moving on to the next question. Um let's uh how you would describe the overall vibe of tone community for yourself as not only like a part of tone but also as a star on X.

Uh yeah well I like the dynamic of it. It's anything unlike other ecosystems and people don't understand but because there is such a big link with a telegram there's a lot of telegram communities and obviously they also read X. So what's happening is whenever you say something or how to say there's some speculative topic online they take this piece from X and they go and like spread that across like the pyramid. So you would be at the top of pyramid as like the point of contact and then it spreads like this toward all the channels toward the network of the ground floors of telegram where they all collectively discuss it. Uh that doesn't happen same way with any other ecosystem. I mean Sala system got incredible community for example and it's one of the most powerful I admit it and uh I've been a long time a fan of what they've been doing too but then when such a things coming out it's not happening at this scale that all the telegram channels got to be buzzing at the same time about these topics uh because that's not the blockchain that is natively integrated in there and so the influence of that of course is tremendous um I would say about the community is very specific uh to say the least and we have yeah people from all the different regions we have Americans that like oh look guys there is uh the volume is not high enough then we've got Nigerian people like hey we want bigger rewards from airdrops uh then we've got Russian communities like hey guys we just want more answers more appreciates toward us and the things to actually be doing some profits for us in the ecosystem you know they all very different vibe And of course addressing them all, it's a complicated challenge.

And I've just mentioned a few. We also got a massive Asian community and incredible people. They forming their own channels. They've tweeting a lot actually lately thanks to Yuki and Kite been on boarding a lot of them with Andrew. There's a couple more people uh from the Chinese speaking community been doing a lot of on boarding steps. But what I'm trying to say is that every of this community is very different. So let me give you an example.

The Russian speaking community mainly as countries as we call them is the region uh like the European, Russia, Kazakhstan etc. Those regions those people are very legions. It's like if you think of American digents and Russian digs, Russian legions are more digents than the American in in this regard. American digents are a little bit more thoughtful uh a little bit slower. Uh Russian digents also don't hold themselves back from saying whatever they wish. They will say exactly as they want uh as they think and you may not like it. They will draw a piece of [ __ ] at you but I mean that that's the way they are and uh I appreciate them for being there and being themselves. Then we've got a lot of uh Asian community members and I mean Asia is massive. There is China, there is Japan, there is Korea, etc.

You name it. And what's interesting is that the Asian community likes idol games uh a lot and in particular there is a catis ecosystem. I think you're also aware uh great builders which is Pluto studio came from the WeChat. They're going to be deploying 200 plus mini apps this year alone with Hindi and gaming center. Um but what's interesting with them is that they've got a lot of paid users.

Uh that do love play games and spend money on those games because they coming from those regions where that's more accepted that's more cultural and traditional to them where playing game is not meant to be free meant to for you to advance faster get more achievements have fun flexing friends etc and here is very similar happening in telegram at time so I'd say the Asian community they are much more keen to play games where it is okay to spend to progress faster And of course they also want the airdrop.

Of course they want good results from projects but their perception of it is different. And then for example we've got a lot of people coming from African region different communities. We've got a massive Nigerian community. Shout out to them all. And I see uh Bloom also doing steps in Africa. We've got Bloom Africa etc. Um this community is very specific because there is a lot of young people in that region and they all getting converted towards the technology. This region asn't isn't as rich as America in a sense of for example salaries etc. So for them it is a very different dynamic and what they love is getting value for their time playing games. So they don't uh treat it the same way as Asian community where Asian just uh community go and play games and okay spending on idol games.

The African community prefer to spend only if they know that they will get something in return because if they will not they like hey why I'm wasting my time [ __ ] and they will come and will fud you. Uh but it's once again it's an important branch of community. It's important it's a massive group of people. Uh but then there are definitely ways uh to work these things out with them too and right now I see a lot of them actually start getting better and better at it and they start to be doing better research.

Uh because at first when I just shared the news, no one is doing any research. They you know just going all in on this. Today they're like whenever let's say I share the news they're like oh it's not a shitty project. And someone in replies would say hey it's not it's actually coming from one of the builders they already generated 500 million plus in revenue in the past and other platforms. They're like oh wow really and then uh they discovered that they got like let's say $60 million back and like oh wow okay maybe there is something happening. So they've got better at doing the research which is very crucial and very important and today they are not eagerly jumping on every single thing and I think this is better for the ecosystem and better for them because they won't spend so much time their energy and stress on doing something they don't want or don't like.

I think they could find applications uh where they could really compete, really could win some prizes which may be a little bit more skill-based or some simple mini apps that they see that got some serious backing etc. Um they get wiser with this and I could say many uh getting pretty decent results and many of them are actually right now in the chat asking when is Bloom TGE because they've been farming for over a year. So I I mean they really want to see what they got to get after all this time. Yes, it is. And uh I think the most important thing like communitywise is to understand as you said like every community is different. We're not trying to fit everyone in one box. We know that they are different. They want different stuff and they have different backgrounds.

So it's not just about us like uh giving them a lot of things to explore but not explaining to them. So we need to educate our own communities and this is like really important. So yeah big shout out to you guys Anton. uh you have been doing an amazing work on this and I mean it's not only for the tone audience because this has as you said it spreads so everyone's trying to be more aware of those things now so yeah it's really amazing to see this happening like lifetime so yeah thank you so much absolutely so let's move on to the next question so I am going to start by saying that bloom recently introduced the stars voting in NPAD and like users can boost visibility of the tokens with stores as super likes.

Do you think tools like this can shape meme trends and like boost tokens? I mean probably yes, but it could also be abused, you know, of like manipulations of the platform. There always going to be people that may try to extract uh some value out of that. Overall, as a concept, it's uh interesting. I'd say maybe it is better that the amount of votes or in influence that the vote could get could basically be based on your wallet or something. So that uh let's say one person cannot do a thousand boosts, but it would need to be a thousand wallets doing the boosts and they would need to be like let's say users of the platform.

And overall as a concept, it is great. It is great for generating revenue. It is great for community getting together and promoting the things they actually value and they like and uh overall as a concept is good. The point here is that is a little bit more challenging is how to make that fair so that people wouldn't complain that someone manipulating the platform. So I would t it to once again like one vote per a single wallet. Uh and then if people wish uh they would need to get together to actually be able to achieve this result. Yeah. So yeah, again guys, you see Victor just say the truth. We're not like trying to get him to say nice things about us that and I think that's the beauty of the crypto environment. We're here to say what it is, doesn't matter what. So moving on to the next question. This is actually a sensitive topic somehow. So why Bloom is being called the last chance project for Dawn? Well, it's first of all, it's obviously not um uh to to address it quickly, but then to be more specific, I understand the community members.

Uh imagine we had many massive mini apps with tens of millions of users. Some did good, some did so, so some did bad. I I mean we have from projects doing like let's say five and a halfx return on what people spend on the game to people getting 10% back on what they spent in the games and of course the feedback varies due to that. Uh Bloom is one of the last uh projects that been around since that time of all this craze that got tens of millions of users. If I'm not mistaken, you have more than 90 million of total users and around 8 and a half million of monthly active users. And why people say that is because they had a lot of devastating experiments experiences for themselves. And uh they think that if Bloom became a devastating experience to them, they may not continue with the farming of air drops and mini apps like this. But the thing many of them failed to realize is that we went from like having couple applications um literally like hamster combat at the time they've been blowing up how many apps there were let's be honest right I mean I I see the trend line so I I do understand how little there were uh but then today we do have really sophisticated mini apps we do have really cool games uh we do have applications that are have nothing to do with airdrop farming uh for example tunnel marketplace You could be farming invites to tunnel marketplace and generating constant revenue from people buying Telegram NFT gifts from your link and commission and you could be making hundreds of ton.

All you got to do invite people. There is no tap tap, there is no waiting period, no TGE, no another token. You could go and get it. Um there are applications such as trading for you uh that are building their mini app. Arcom launched their Telegram mini app. Nearly every single centralized exchange got the mini app. uh like just think of that they all do that for a reason right and thinking oh there is nothing good no that's not the case saying that oh bloom is a last chance well to satisfy airdrop farmers maybe and then if they will be really upset about this experience uh they may go and try to farm elsewhere um the thing is we don't know the future no one knows and then a lot in terms of valuation has to do also with the community sentiment. So the better sentiment the community creates itself, the better valuation you guys as a community going to be able to achieve at the TGE and then more rewards uh people that are holding tokens going to be able to get.

Uh so that's a synergy and I think uh as many as are they frustrated etc. uh they still went on trying many other mini apps that has to do somewhat more with their interests. And I mean today we don't see mini apps like all of a sudden blowing up to ton of mill tens of millions of users but I don't think so that was necessarily healthy as well before because u it's a matter of having diversity and not everyone wants to trade memes not everyone wants to trade NFTTS and not everyone wants to play a shooting battle royale type of game and not everyone wants to play idol games but there are people whose interest will be in at least one of those sectors and saying there is no one caring, there is nothing special, that would be a complete nonsense.

Thinking that there will be no people left playing games, it's a complete nonsense because like half of the world population playing games on the phone like you you cannot change this factor. It got to continue this way regardless if there is paid mechanics or not. People will continue to get on boarded to the Telegram mini apps and applications inside of this ecosystem and try to use them. It may take more time, it may take less time. There may be ups and downs in the sentiment of uh the community and people that farming airdrops. It's understandable. But as a matter of fact, uh Telegram mini apps continue to exist, continue to grow. And one of them which is a lot of community members are very curious about right now is Penbook Clash. Uh that right now has like two million signups and they're going to be launching Wednesday next week if I'm not mistaken.

like well somewhere next week they going to be available to everyone and I mean this is a new application they have nothing to do with the airrop in fact they built a competitive platform where you put up tone if you lose you lose if you win you win some prize uh so that's a different approach but still they got two million people even though there is no air drop plan there is two million people already sign up and waiting to try the game so next week they got to be able to what I'm trying to say we got to see many more big builders, gaming studios, already very known IE and projects coming in and building mini apps.

They got to get the exposure. They got to get millions of users. And not because I say so, not because of the airdrops, but because they already got millions of funds and that's not going to change. Uh, and we wait for them. We're going to make sure that they get access to all the best resources in terms of development, dedicated help, support programs, etc., which you may have seen.

We do quite more focus right now uh with the new leadership coming in. We've released the official announcement and the blog article uh with more information for our support programs going further and there is going to be much more because we do care for good applications getting dedicated support that they deserve that they need getting the right places to go to and achieve the results they want. as well as we want community to be able to do better research and have access to better applications where I mean it's not always a frustrating airdrop experience and so to my point I would love people to go and farm referral invites to those telegram NFT gift marketplaces right now guys money to be made right there you don't have to have any ton you don't have to wait for any airrop just bring referrals that will buy the gifts after they've been brought by you and you're going to get the commission and for example on tunnel I believe it's like up to % uh portals right now have like two and a half or 5% commission.

I think two and a half and then 80% of that going to the person that brought the referral. So guys, if you want to make money and board agents that want to trade the NFTTS and make money out of them trading them, it's like the opportunity is here. I cannot do it for you. And then I mean it's up to you to discover that too.

But to my point, it's not just about the airdrop. And those applications are very useful uh regardless. And for example, tunnel marketplace yesterday surpassed 1 million users. It's literally for deions. It it's the trading marketplace. So the trading marketplace with no airrop planned whatsoever got a million monthly active users. That's crazy. And then if you think they cannot get 10 million users in about a year time, I'd say it's complete nonsense because it's one of the best products. And I wish them luck. And obviously we're all talking about tunnel. We're all using tunnel. We're creating guides how to use tunnel. And then you guys, if you expect them to grow, why wouldn't you try to extract value for yourself in that? Simply share an invite. And whenever someone buys a gift, you receive a little tone and the next thing you know, you have enough time to get yourself whatever the [ __ ] you want yourself, which is even better.

Um so our goal here is to educate people about the ecosystem and streamline this process of support uh for new projects, new entities, new brands, new IPs coming in and uh I think there is a lot more to come. Some of the recent were Chimpers, Suzuki, um we've got uh budget penguins, there is also moon birds and so far I think many people wondering what's the next steps they're going to be doing because chimpers came in released these stickers very cool. been sold out like in the record time. But then what's next? And what's next? These brands are going to tell you. That's why they came to Telegram and trust me there is much more that going to happen and we're only at the tip of exploration of this ecosystem and it's fascinating time to be alive.

I think with such a viral potential um of course it may take years. Uh but the good thing here we've got years. I'm young. I'm I'm not like 80 years old. not planning to go anywhere. So, we're going to be here. We're going to do our best in educating people how to use those tools and what type of value they could get and what type of information is relevant up to the point for them to at least be able to understand what's going on, where to go and how to figure out the ways to make better decisions because I cannot tell you what decisions to make. It's once again everything mentioned here is not financial advice. It's for educational purposes only. You should do your own research. But then I see the need at times that there is a lack of content in that regard and I I be the one that writes it. Uh for example, yesterday I believe I brought a thread. We quote that to Tom Blockchain page as well. Um sharing all the links to all the Telegram NFT gift marketplaces and also the link to the stickers marketplace.

A lot of people got stickers and they've been wondering when can I sell them. Well, you can go and do it right now if you wish. No one's stopping you. The link is there in the trap. I wrote it for this reason and the next thing you know happened check the volume of stickers and I don't have comments but that's how timely information from me coming out when I see there is a need I see there is no one writing about this okay I'll take my time I'll be the one and those type of scenarios got to continue to happen because there is more and more builders there is more and more different niches uh so now we've got memes NFTTS uh anonymous numbers right We we've got games, we've got air drops, like all of those things happening and uh I'm fascinated and cannot wait to see what's going to be going forward.

Yeah, I mean I think the most uh amazing thing at least for me in the crypto environment is that we have so many things to explore and we don't see ourselves as competitors. We are all like trying to build together because there is so much more to do like not only as like improvements for only one platform but there's literally like much more to explore and to create. So yeah, thank you for your answer. Yeah, speaking by the way of the competition, uh what's interesting here is that I understand that a lot of blockchains, they want to be like the only one, but crypto getting more and more like decentralized. So, and the community as well, they may choose one chain for me trading, they may choose another one for airdrop farming, and another one for playing games. Obviously the biggest games and the biggest exposure you could get is Telegram.

It's like I don't think so there is any other player that could do it at this point and if there will be it's somewhere years ahead and we will be glad that they also came in and start doing that because it's got to streamline the crypto mass adoption even more. So here we're not scared of this competition. We're welcoming it. We want to see other people trying building it and maybe they will have some better approach to some things and maybe we will learn something from them, right? because it goes both ways. But in the sense of the competition, what's interesting, especially assets in the ecosystem such as memecoins, let's take Bonk from Salana as an example. If they really want to get exposure to the new audience, to the new holders, they could use uh Stargate Bridge and layer zero uh via OTP standard and bring the version of Bon to Tom blockchain.

They're going to have a unified liquidity pool. I mean if they want they could make Bong tradable inside of Ton ecosystem and if they want they can go even further and integrate it into their own mini app if they wish and they will be not violating the policy since they will be using ton native asset that brought there via layer zero. But as you see layer zero is only this year that came out. So a lot of people still catching up on this and I could tell you I heard some discussions of people potentially considering using layer zero. I don't have more information on this but uh it's an interesting path to explore and I would love to see some of the meme coins.

Uh for example, Baby Doge did it. Uh they actually brought Baby Doge and it's from Binance change. If no one knows, Baby Doge is a massive memecoin from Binance uh ecosystem and they are now accessible inside of Ton as the Ton asset as well via OT standard of layer zero. So to my point, if Baby Doge decides to build a mini app with a game and it will choose to allocate some supply that they already have uh toward this game, it will definitely work and it will definitely not violate any rules. So we are very welcoming and we do want to see projects from other ecosystems such as Bon for example or Pepe or Doge coming to Ton via the OT standard as well and uh maybe building their own mini app and getting new exposure, new audience, new community and millions of views and interactions and users. And I could tell you it probably got to take time. Uh but in my opinion it's kindly inevitable as a path because this huge streamline of users is fascinating and crypto is not about competing is about finding the ways how you could actually build your IP further.

If you start on one chain it doesn't mean that you have to be tied to one and punch penguins is the best examples of that. They've got their NFT collection on Ethereum. They've got their Pango token on Salana. They've got their own blockchain abstract. Uh they've got stickers on ton. Um I mean loc another day. What am I supposed to say? It's like this is a good example of people that are not trying to compete. They're trying to expand their brand to the whole new level. And today they are also building a game inside of Telegram Mania which is Pingo Clash and it's going to be live next week. So I mean they already got 2 million signups. The game isn't even live. Like what do you mean? Like Bloom is the last chance. Like guys, two million people waiting for a game that is not live.

I mean, do you feel me right? Yeah. I mean, uh, again, thank you so much for your answer and, uh, yeah, and then I believe in you guys. I I hope you got to do all right. Obviously, a lot of people asking even here in the chat about the civil check. I guess you No, that's I mean we already spoke a lot about this on on our social media and of course people are going to still be asking questions about it, we see it and we are answering you guys. So yeah, I mean it's we have market for everyone and as long as we do have like a responsibility towards what we are doing, I think I mean we can do whatever. So, it's really nice to see how this like the crypto market like expanding so quickly because if you look back like let's say 20 years ago, this was not even a possibility and now this is getting like too big not to be on it anymore.

So, it's we're going to have many more uh users on crypto for the probably like for the rest of the humanity until we have something new. So, yeah, super excited to see it. Thank you again, Victor. And now we are going to do some quick questions. So, you have to choose between two options that I'm going to give it to you. But first, let me tell you that we have more than 9,000 people watching live.

So, thanks for everyone who's here and like uh watching us for this almost uh half one hour, I think. Yeah, one hour. Actually, we just uh passed uh 11,000 people. So, thank you so much. Yeah, shout out to you all guys. DM chat. And a lot of people follow. Yeah, we're going to give your socials after, too. But let's No worries. They will find me anyways. I mean, yeah, they will. So, let's go to the lightning round. So, short answers only. Telegram or X? Both. Okay. Mini apps or dabs? Mini apps. It's better experience. Okay. Telegram gifts or NFTs? Telegram gifts are NFTs. Oh, yeah. I mean, community memes or blockchain technology. Community what? Community memes or blockchain technology. I mean, I like blockchain technology. Uh, if to choose one blockchain technology because without that there would be no memes. Yeah, that's important. And the last one is memecoin flipping or airdrop f uh farming.

Oh, well, it depends where you start. Um, I mean, if you're a beginner, probably airdrop farming. If you've been in crypto for a while, then probably mean coin trading maybe a little bit more productive for you. Okay. So, thank you for your answers. That was it. And we are going to answer some questions. So, oh, by the way, I have one question to you. Um, because I've asked if people would want to ask you as well.

So since you've asked me a couple of questions, let me ask you this. Uh so people been wondering if you going to be doing anything for the ambassadors in a sense of TG or PRTG because your ambassadors are wondering as well. I'm sure they're reading updates. Yes, they are. And they are reaching me on my DMs too. So first of all, big shout out to all all of our like ambassadors. uh we have almost like 3,000 ambassadors in Bloom. Uh in the beginning they were like this huge support for us. Uh not only in the beginning they are still huge support for us and I mean uh actually like also for feedback. So sometimes uh their community is saying something they like bring this issue for us and this is really important. So again thank you so much uh for all of this and yes we do have things planned for the ambassadors. I have shared I think Zeie also has shared some stuff on the ambassadors uh chats on telegram that we have but yes we do have some things prepared uh I cannot share right now with you data like specific data but no that's okay I mean it's just they've been wondering if you do yes this is going to happen and I think it's going to be really soon since as I said in the beginning uh tokconomics are going to happen this week so Yeah, that's your answer.

I mean, they're waiting. I I can tell you like the chat is only asking about when TG. Uh, but let put this question this way. When will you announce the TG? Oh, guys, that's the question for the wrong person. I mean, I don't have this data. Okay, but again, to economics this week, let's go by parts. Yep. Okay. Well, that steps toward right direction because snapshot is taken. Tokconomics are coming. I would assume it's not going to take too long.

Also, I wanted I wanted to ask you about this. I think you brought that um the TG to happen on DEX first, right? Uh so is there plan to get to the centralized exchanges also at the launch or uh you guys planning to do that later on as the bloom develops further? Like I mean I I think I saw but it's just important to us. Yes. I mean uh we are doing these first steps uh only not only but especially like with ton since we have like this huge support from you guys since the beginning but of course uh we have people wanting to list us uh so we have a lot of conversations have been going on but right now we are going to focus in this like relationship that we have and then we're going to open more.

So this is the first plan. Uh we have more information about this and more explained uh in more details in our social media you can you guys can go after. So another thing that is important to say is that if you are on our like global social media we do also have social medias for like Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. So uh if you al let's say oh I don't speak English that well you can just search for our other official accounts and then you can get like all this information. Okay. So I again I know I am saying I am being like too general in my answers but of course uh a lot of things are happening right now again we had the snapshot ne last week we're going to have the tokconomics I mean TG is coming and it's not going to take too long now so yeah I mean ambassador is asking people asking it's a lot of things going on but we do we are going to be in a lot of places of course just I don't have more questions uh myself.

It's okay. I'm just waiting for your TG and we'll see how's that going to go. Uh community so far are not really understanding also how is that going to do but I guess no one knows the future. So it really depends on so many factors but they are seated. They ready and they've been farming for over a year. Shout out to everyone that is exploring ton. Uh, shout out to all of you that are exploring Telegram and reading our tweets and joining to watch us here on the live stream. I hope that everyone will get the good results, but we're not living in the perfect world. So, I would assume that the mistakes possible and it's totally fine. Yeah, I mean, let's start with the questions from the community right now. So, we have a lot of uh comments.

I saw a comment saying that we are matching and we are indeed. Oh wow. Yeah. No, by the way, yeah, I still haven't actually unpacked my bag from travels. Uh this is another shirt I had at home which is nearly the same as I have. I have three of them. Yeah. So yeah, I mean TGE already answered. So that's the most like important question again. So economics coming this week. Okay guys, just be aware in our social media. Uh we have some comments here about you and the most comment that we have about you Victor is send me a telegram gift. So are you going to do like an airdrop? We're going to do like a raffle something on X for your I mean I've done a lot of giveaways already on my personal Telegram channel.

Funny enough, a lot of people don't even know that I have a Telegram channel. you know, there is nothing to look at. And this is not a joke. This is the name of my channel. Nothing to look at. So, yeah. I mean, there's nothing to look at. Okay. But at times I do host giveaways there. I'd say every week maybe, but yeah. Yeah. So, guys, just follow Victor again. He's someone you know on X. He has his Telegram channel, too. uh we're going to share for you guys after the stream so you guys can follow him and of course be aware of tone page on X they have also chats on telegram itself so you can find a lot of information there too and uh I think I'm going to start to close actually uh so big thanks to Victor for joining us in sharing sites on tone and memes and telegram gifts and everything else like thank you so much to be here, Victor.

And thank you so much for all like the more than 11,000 people watching live right now. This is like insane. Thank you so much, guys. I really uh hope you guys uh liked the live stream. We're going to do another round of Bloom chats with other projects. So, we're going to talk with a lot of people and like stay tuned. We're going to have more information. And the next Bloom chat is going to be next Wednesday as always. So yes, just stay tuned. And final reminders before I let Victor say goodbye to you guys. It's the token creator incentives. So if you launch your token on Blooming Pad and it hits like market cap milestones, uh the prices range from like a car to $1.5 million. So just go for it. Okay, this is still going. Token creator incentives are still there. So, launch your meme to like like launch your meme token and just do your marketing and let's go and see you guys next week.

So, Victor, please say your goodbyes. Hey, thank you so much for having me guys. Thank you so much for watching. Make sure that you are doing your research, exploring the things happening in Son ecosystem and once again find an opportunity for yourself. If you don't got a lot of tone, you like the gifts, it's simple. Go farm those referrals and then get a little ton from their buys and then get a couple gifts for yourself. What I'm saying is the opportunity is always present. You could do the same thing with farming referrals on Bloom.

It could do it on many other mini apps and it will help you to achieve a better results. In the end of the day, you're the only one that could make those steps happen. It couldn't be me. It cannot be Isabella. It cannot be Bloom founders, but it could be you who could actually progress further, better, and faster. I wish you all good luck. More fair rewards and uh hope you got to be good on your way of exploring. Keep it all on chain and see you later. See you guys. Thank you. Bye bye..
