Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Surprises Students at Kazakhstan's IQanat High School

Burabay, Kazakhstan – September 30, 2025 – Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram and patron of gifted education, made an unannounced visit to IQanat High School, delighting its 500 students from rural Kazakh villages.

The Telegram billionaire toured the campus, inspected dorms, and spent hours chatting candidly with the teens. He shared stories of his early coding adventures, school pranks, AI's potential, and biotech as a rising trend. Durov also met privately with 12 students he sponsored last year via a $350,000 donation, praising their Olympiad wins, hackathon triumphs, eco-IT projects, and a custom Telegram bot demo.

School founder Aydyn Rakhimbaev called it a "historic day better than a birthday," joking on social media that "next is probably space." The event highlights Durov's philanthropy amid his upcoming attendance at Kazakhstan's Digital Bridge Forum on October 2.

Telegram Wallet to Offer Tokenized U.S. Stocks & ETFs This October

Telegram is teaming up with Kraken and Backed Finance to integrate xStocks—tokenized representations of U.S. equities and ETFs—into its Wallet starting in October.

Key highlights:

• Over 60 U.S. stocks and ETFs (e.g. Apple, Tesla, S&P 500) will be available in tokenized form.

• Each token is backed 1:1 by the underlying asset, ensuring that the digital version tracks the real security.

• Trading will operate 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, beyond typical U.S. market hours.

• Initially, the feature will run in Telegram’s custodial Wallet. A rollout to the noncustodial TON Wallet is expected later.

• Since its debut on Kraken and on-chain platforms, xStocks trading volume has already crossed several billion dollars.

Cautions & Limitations:

• Users will not receive voting rights or direct shareholder privileges from these tokens.

• Availability will depend on the user’s jurisdiction and regulatory compliance. Some regions may be excluded.

• While regulatory bodies like the U.S. SEC are exploring the approval of tokenized equities, oversight and clarity remain evolving.

Pavel Durov Announces AI Lab Launch in Kazakhstan

This lab marks the first collaboration between Telegram and the supercomputing cluster Alem.ai in Kazakhstan. 
Durov announced it during his speech at the Digital Bridge 2025 forum in Astana.

According to Telegram’s founder, the new development merges blockchain and AI technologies. 
It will first appear in Telegram’s mini-app ecosystem.

Durov also reminded the audience that Kazakhstan was the location of Telegram’s first regional office:

“We are launching a joint project between Telegram and Kazakhstan’s supercomputing cluster, initiated by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence. This technology will allow over a billion people to use AI functions confidentially, transparently, and efficiently. We hope Kazakhstan’s cluster becomes the first major provider of computing power for this network.”

#tip: Siri Shortcuts (part 2). 📰 The guide on creating voice commands for sending continues. This part is most likely an iOS feature guide, but nevertheless, Telegram announced such support in June 2019.

✈️ Now, after you have created a shortcut for sending a message to Telegram, you can now use Siri (be sure to turn it on) to configure voice activation of shortcuts (and even some actions on your iPhone).
⚙️ Go to iOS Settings › Accessibility › Voice Shortcuts and activate the switch.
When creating a shortcut, first write the text of the speech to activate it and say it out loud three times.

🏳️ Notes:
— Voice shortcuts can be configured directly in the shortcut property in iOS 12 and earlier versions.
— Activating the functionality in Accessibility, the orange identifier in the corner of the iPhone will always be displayed.

Just as we predicted earlier, Telegram seems to be taking the third path developing its own #AI. That’s likely why ,we haven’t seen any AI features yet. The partnership mentioned earlier is only for one year, and as Elon said, no deal has been signed. The real question is : how long will they wait before implementing it? Or is there another AI collaboration planned to fill the gap? What we can be fairly sure of is that Telegram is currently building its own AI, and most likely, Nikolai Durov is either leading the team or playing a major role in its development.

📰 The requirement for verification of Russian telegram channels. 🤡 The useless Runet organization Roskomnadzor has started demanding verification from Russian Telegram channels via the @Trustchannelbot bot. This bot is designed for third-party verification of chats (supergroups and channels).

👹 As of today, Roskomnadzor has made this stage [the appointment of a bot] mandatory. 🤖 Until today, installing a bot was optional; now if the bot is not installed on your public channel during the verification process, the application will be rejected.. ✏️ It was enough to specify the registration ID in channel description or attach the link to Gosuslugi (platform for verification of bloggers) since the law on registration of bloggers entered into force on November 1, 2024.

🚓 Today's decision is due to the easier deanonymization of admins, because look at the insane verification process (ru), which includes the mandatory collection of phone numbers of all their admins. 👨‍⚖️ Starting in September 2025, if you abandon this verification method, such channels will not only be banned from advertising and reposts, but their administrators will be fined up to 500,000 rubles (Code of Administrative Offenses, paragraph 14.3).

Example of verification description:
🅰️ Регистрация в РКН: https://gosuslugi.ru/snet/673761b8b5d2ec30cf7356c3

📰 The sixth mailing from the service account +42777 to all accounts with a French phone number. 🇫🇷📱 This time the message is sent to the post of Mr. Durov on April 21.

Aujourd’hui, l’Union européenne a failli interdire votre droit à la vie privée. Une loi devait être votée, obligeant les applications à scanner tous les messages privés et transformant chaque téléphone en un outil de surveillance.

La France a été le moteur de ce projet autoritaire, avec le soutien des anciens et actuels ministres de l’Intérieur, Bruno Retailleau et Laurent Nuñez. En mars dernier, ils ont déclaré que la police devrait pouvoir consulter les messages privés des citoyens français (détails ici). Les Républicains et Renaissance, le parti de Macron, ont voté en faveur de cette loi.

De telles mesures censées « lutter contre la criminalité » visent en réalité les citoyens ordinaires. Elles n’arrêteraient pas les criminels — qui pourraient simplement utiliser des VPN ou des sites spéciaux pour se cacher. Les messages des autorités et de la police ne seraient pas non plus surveillés, car la loi les en protège. Seuls VOUS — simples citoyens — risqueriez de voir vos photos et messages privés compromis.

Aujourd’hui, nous avons défendu la vie privée : l'Allemagne, par sa prise de position soudaine, a préservé nos droits. Toutefois, la menace qui pèse sur nos libertés demeure. Alors que les dirigeants français réclament un accès total aux messages privés, les droits fondamentaux des Français — et de tous les Européens — restent menacés.

📰 Telegram 12.1 Redesign Review: Is It Really That Bad? 🪟 Telegram has introduced a redesign for the concept of all 26 Apple operating systems, called Liquid Glass. It is a living material that has some kind of physics and is able to react to touch, refract light, and so on. You can read about the best design in the world in the Apple Newsroom.

😔 In the first release, liquid glass cannot be called liquid glass, and that's why:
1️⃣ The redesign is partial. The first photo shows absolutely all the interface elements that have been redesigned. Not anymore. No context menu has been revived, and the list of topics has only been touched on the side. Everything that has not been redesigned remains in the flat-design (iOS 7-18), and the mixture with liquid glass does not look very good.
2️⃣ There is practically no animation. Except for the toolbar, which has the behavior of liquid glass. The topics simply collapse when switching. There is no reaction to the touch, and you can not pull the buttons like rubber.
3️⃣ Baits in the demos. Buttons in the settings are not rounded in reality. The @askplexbot bot did not receive the topics feature, and yet the animation does not match even the latest beta version 12.1.1, where it simply unfolds from the sidebar of the topic.

Well, the good news. The icon has been updated not only for TestFlight (photo 2). The blog says that the redesign will continue gradually, which I really hope for. It's understandable, because the team is small.
