Quick recap on the history of TON Blockchain: - Development Began in 2017 (internal work by Nikolai Durov and the team) - Whitepaper and public plans: Leaked/referenced in around January 8, 2018, when TechCrunch and others reported on it - GRAM ICO in February–March 2018 (mainly February to March) - Testnet phases began in 2019. Public testing reportedly started around September 1, 2019 - Mainnet / Gram token distribution deadline: Contractually required by October 31, 2019. Telegram aimed for launch by late October 2019 but faced delays and regulatory issues. No full mainnet under Telegram control - End of Telegram’s Involvement: Telegram officially abandoned the project on May 12, 2020, after an SEC lawsuit and court injunction prevented Gram distribution. They returned funds to investors (with some penalties later) - The open-source code was later picked up by the community, leading to the independent The Open Network mainnet launch on May 26th, 2021 - Today, May 4th 2026, Pavel Durov has announced that Telegram will become the largest validator on TON & take the leading role from TON Foundation The change will happen within 2-3 weeks, which is step 3 out of 7 on MTONGA Roadmap This is history in making And I am proud of being a part of it 🗽💎

Chinese influencer Li Chi flew from China to California for the sole purpose of experiencing Tesla FSD firsthand. Here are his impressions: “Flew 25,000 km — half the globe — just to personally experience Tesla’s smart driving and compare it with Huawei’s smart driving. I’ll skip the detailed process and go straight to the conclusion: Under normal weather and road conditions, Tesla’s vision-based routing is first-class. (I didn’t get a chance to test in foggy conditions.) In certain scenarios, Tesla outperforms Huawei. For example, when activating smart driving, Tesla can reverse to avoid a vehicle parked on the left, then go around it and rejoin the road ahead — quite impressive. Route selection capability is also top-tier. It doesn’t just follow conventional routes but can take shortcuts through residential roads. Acceleration is crisp and decisive, without hesitation… In short, Tesla FSD is improving very quickly. Physically removing the steering wheel would already present no real obstacles. I hope China will soon allow Tesla FSD to operate domestically, enabling earlier adoption of L3 and encouraging competition with local manufacturers.”
