Yesterday, we witnessed the beginning of largest airdrop in crypto history. 131M qualified users getting their paws on Hamster Tokens on TON. This moment sets an entirely new benchmark for what is possible onchain.
This massive surge in traffic did cause some third-party services to experience overloads resulting in a few delayed transactions. However, despite the heavy load, the TON blockchain has not missed a single block.
We are still seeing a growing influx of users, and the onchain activity is likely to continue growing in the coming days. It is still early days but the success so far demonstrates TON's resilience and capacity to support massive user onboarding.
Recent comments from Bybit CEO suggest over a million of new users coming to their exchange, due to launches on TON. TON is truly putting crypto in every pocket. TON Community is truly bringing net new users to the crypto space. Together we will usher in the mass adoption of freedom tech.

One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.
