In a new post, Pavel Durov shared his thoughts on the FTX collapse, decentralization, mass adoption of blockchain technology, and the success of the Fragment auction platform while mentioning TON.
Durov explained that Telegram plans on creating decentralized exchanges, crypto wallets, and other Web3 services. He also revealed that Fragment would have more to offer than username auctions starting this week.

The blockchain industry was built on the promise of decentralization, but ended up being concentrated in the hands of a few who began to abuse their power. As a result, a lot of people lost their money when FTX, one of the largest exchanges, went bankrupt.
The solution is clear: blockchain-based projects should go back to their roots β decentralization. Cryptocurrency users should switch to trustless transactions and self-hosted wallets that don't rely on any single third party.
We, developers, should steer the blockchain industry away from centralization by building fast and easy-to-use decentralized applications for the masses. Such projects are finally feasible today.
It took only 5 weeks and 5 people including myself to put together Fragment β a fully decentralized auction platform. We were able to do this because Fragment is based on The Open Network, or TON β a blockchain platform that is fast and efficient enough to host popular applications (unlike Ethereum, which unfortunately remains outdated and expensive even after its recent tweaks).
Fragment has been an amazing success, with 50 million USD worth of usernames sold there in less than a month. This week, Fragment will expand beyond usernames.
Telegram's next step is to build a set of decentralized tools, including non-custodial wallets and decentralized exchanges for millions of people to securely trade and store cryptocurrencies. This way we can fix the wrongs caused by the excessive centralization, which let down hundreds of thousands of cryptocurrency users.
The time when the inefficiencies of legacy platforms justified centralization should be long gone. With technologies like TON reaching their potential, the blockchain industry should be finally able to deliver on its core mission β giving the power back to the people.

βThe TON Foundation and TON ecosystem partners have announced a $126-million fund to spur the crypto market into recovery mode.
The TON Foundation and a group of independent investment partners, including DWF Labs, Darley Technologies, Hexa Capital, and TONcoin.Fund, have announced the creation of a fund with a soft commitment of $126 million in the hopes of saving crypto projects in the industry.
The fund will assist companies in developing successful and innovative products based on TON while offering support for other projects experiencing a liquidity crunch as a result of the recent FTX implosion and its subsequent ripple effects.
Part of the financing will allow existing projects to migrate to TON under the TON Foundationβs purview and consultation. It will also act as an airbag to absorb the adverse impact caused by the FTX contagion thatβs been rapidly spreading across the industry.
Tonstarter, the first TON-based launchpad, is also gearing up to play a part in the initiative by offering crucial support for projects developing products in DeFi, marketplaces, social, and other Web3 sectors while attracting IDO funding and releasing tokens.
Andrei Grachev, the managing partner of DWF Labs, said:
βTogether with the TON Foundation, we decided to act immediately to support the bold founders that are building the future of Web3.β
ClΓ©ment Florentin, CEO of Darley Technologies, also commented on the new fund:
βIn line with our mission to provide deep and reliable liquidity, we immediately agreed to commit $15 million to projects in need.β
Moreover, the TON Foundation has launched a new documentation section for talented developers, making the transition to The Open Network seamless by giving step-by-step instructions for dApps and SDK.

βThe TON blockchain will be connected to the cross-chain Orbit Bridge.
Orbit Bridge is a multi-chain bridge service with token conversion between mainnets with current support of 19 blockchains and 84 tokens. The platform is by Ozys, a South Korean blockchain company with additional TON development roadmap, including a TON native DEX scheduled for release on early January 2023.
The service has over $12.3 billion worth of assets locked and undergoes a quarterly security audit. Since its launch in 2020, Orbit has not suffered a breach.
Supported tokens on Orbit Bridge to and from TON ecosystem will include:
Ethereum-based tokens (51): WBTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI, etc.
Polygon-based tokens (4): MATIC, MESH, etc.
Klaytn-based tokens (10): KLAY, KSP, etc.
Orbit Bridge Validators include leading names in the crypto industry, such as First Stage Labs, TON Ecosystem Builders, Cosmostation, Neoply, DSRV, M-block, Despread, Move Labs, B-harvest, Ozys, and more.
Ozys is currently developing its own TON-based DEX, which will launch early January 2023.
Justin Hyun, Head of Incubation at the TON Foundation, shared his comments on the occasion:
βWith the introduction of TON as the latest mainnet on the Orbit Bridge, a host of new users will be introduced to the TON ecosystem. Vice-versa, TON users will be excited for the opportunity to hold stablecoins on TON mainnet. While mainnet native minting is our ultimate goal, we believe that multi-chain solution unlocks new potential for the TON ecosystem. Users that port over to TON will experience the advantages that our blockchain holds over its peers.β
Note: It is important for users to access the authentic website. There are other sites with deceiving names designed to trick unfamiliar users and we encourage our community to employ good security practices.

βCryptomus, cryptocurrency payment system, has added support for TON
Crypto payment gateway for business and private use Cryptomus has added support for TON and deployed TON Connect authorization standard developed by the Tonkeeper team.
A lot of users and businesses can now use TON cryptocurrency to pay for various goods and services.
Among others, Cryptomus processes enot.io with more than 700,000 users, so from now, this platform's merchants can add TON as a payment method on their websites.
The partnership with Cryptomus is the first use case of the TON Connect authorization standard outside of the TON ecosystem. Undoubtedly, events like this bring the mass adoption of TON as a secure and fast payment method closer.
It's worth mentioning that three new TON-based DEXs tonswap.org, dedust.io, and STON.fi have also enabled TON Connect authorization standard, which means that Tonkeeper users can now exchange tokens on these platforms quickly and securely right from their smartphones or computers.

βOzys announces the launch of Megaton Finance, a new DEX based on the TON blockchain
One of South Korea's leading blockchain company, Ozys, announced the upcoming launch of a TON mainnet decentralized exchange (DEX). The full launch is expected in early January 2023.
The new DEX, named Megaton Finance is a multi-chain DeFi-protocol that aims to expand the cross-chain popularity of the TON ecosystem and use cases of the TON blockchain.
The platform will usher in the liquidity of major assets such as ETH, WBTC, USDT, USDC, DAI, and MATIC upon its release. It is notable that Ozys has previously built Klayswap and Meshswap for Klaytn and Polygon mainnets, respectively.
Leading up to the launch, Megaton Finance will hold several new user promotions and airdrops upon completion of certain tasks such as joining the community channels, downloading and sending Toncoin to major TON wallets, utilizing the cross-chain bridge, and providing liquidity seeding to the new TON pair pools on their existing Klayswap and Meshswap protocols. These events will prepare new and current users to help Megaton Finance with liquidity and word-of-mouth.
The suite of cross-chain enabling products that Ozys is building (Orbit Bridge and Megaton Finance) will contribute to the expansion and mainstream adoption of the TON ecosystem.
With the suite of DEXs appearing on TON, including Ston.Fi, Scaleton, DeDust, TonSwap, and more, we are excited at the prospects of a future growth in total value locked on TON.
$MEGA is the native Jetton which will power the liquidity pool rewards on Megaton Finance and it will be available to trade in various DEXs and centralized exchanges in the future.

These events will prepare new and current users to help Megaton Finance with liquidity and word-of-mouth.
The suite of cross-chain enabling products that Ozys is building (Orbit Bridge and Megaton Finance) will contribute to the expansion and mainstream adoption of the TON ecosystem.
With the suite of DEXs appearing on TON, including Ston.Fi, Scaleton, DeDust, TonSwap, and more, we are excited at the prospects of a future growth in total value locked on TON.
$MEGA is the native Jetton which will power the liquidity pool rewards on Megaton Finance and it will be available to trade in various DEXs and centralized exchanges in the future.
Visit the Megaton Finance pre-launch website for details on aforementioned promotions.
