$TON could become the next $SOL , worth keeping an eye on and its ecosystem's MEME.
Yesterday, the founder of Telegram, @durov, announced that Telegram will replace the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and become its largest validator. They will reduce transaction fees by 6 times, bringing them close to zero.
The $TON ecosystem's daily active users, trading volume, and TVL are set to skyrocket, similar to Solana's explosive path in 2024, but starting from a higher point (backed by Telegram's 1 billion+ monthly active users). Zero fees + native integration with Telegram → payments, mini apps, gaming, social, and DeFi will attract a massive influx of regular users.
This is a milestone announcement of “Telegram fully taking over TON,” upgrading TON from a “Telegram-supported chain” to “Telegram's favored chain.” Short-term bullish for price + meme, medium to long-term bullish for real adoption and technological competitiveness.
Personally, I went long on the-open-network:native at 1.4 last night; if it mirrors SOL, there's over 10x growth potential. Woke up and chased more $dogs at around 0.00005 with a market cap of about 30M. If the TON ecosystem takes off, it could long-term match the initial bonk, then I chased $mtonga at around 2.5M. Took some partial profits.
