🐤 How TON is getting ready for heavier loads⚫️ In just an hour, the network will begin voting on a new set of validator upgrades. Ahead of the vote, Dr. Awesome Doge published a detailed breakdown of what is changing — so we’ll recap the key points.⚫️ If April’s upgrade was about making transactions faster, June’s is about something less exciting but no less important: keeping the network stable under heavy load.⚫️ TON plans to create a dedicated lane for validators to exchange block drafts. Right now, that traffic shares the same route as regular transactions. During sharp spikes in activity, this can hurt network performance — as already happened during the Hamster Kombat and DOGS listings.⚫️ The same vote also

In China, there is a significant date referred to as "May 35th." Typically, on this day or the two days surrounding it, VPNs experience large-scale disconnections and loss of signal.Are you all prepared to assess whether your VPN is sufficiently stable to remain functional during this period? 📡Dr. Doge

You already let AI summarize your docs and your unread chats. The catch: to pull that off, your private files get uploaded to some company's AI, which can read them, train on them, and profile you.At Blockchain Life in Dubai, Durov told the story of how 🤖 COCOON was born to break that trade. A decentralized network on TON where GPU owners rent out compute for TON, and your data gets processed inside a sealed box even the machine's owner can't open. You get the AI, you keep the privacy.I went back through the launch talk, what he announced and why 👇🔗 Telegraph linkTelegraphHow COCOON Was Announced: Revisiting Durov's Launch Talk in DubaiCOCOON didn't come out of nowhere.

After the Titanic hit the iceberg, the passengers stayed aboard for almost two hours. They were sure it couldn't sink. The lifeboats rowed away half empty.Durov opened his Oslo Freedom Forum talk with that image, then said the ship of personal freedom has already hit the iceberg, and most of us haven't noticed we're sinking.He laid out the tricks moving from East to West: thousands arrested in the UK over social posts, "protect the children" used as cover for ID checks and encryption backdoors, and the one that chilled me most, AI tearing the ceiling off surveillance. The KGB had a human limit. It needed officers and hours. AI has neither.I wrote up the whole speech, the sharpest examples, and where I'd push back 👇🔗 Telegraph linkTelegraphOur Ship Has Already Hit the Iceberg: Durov in Oslo, Naming What the West Is Turning IntoAfter the Titanic struck the iceberg, the passengers refused to leave for almost two hours.

🔔Your 10 TON will soon show as 10 GRAM. The most important line first: you don't need to do anything.Telegram is renaming TON's token from Toncoin to Gram, ticker TON to GRAM. It's only a name change. The chain stays TON, and your balance, addresses, and contracts don't move. No swap, no migration, no claim. Anything telling you to "swap TON for GRAM" or "claim your GRAM" is a scam.But Gram is no ordinary name. It's the exact one the SEC came after back in the 2018 era, the name Telegram was forced to drop. Bringing it back six years later, by its own hand, is the real signal: Telegram has stepped to the front.The backstory, the scams to watch, and my take, all in one piece 👇🔗 Telegraph linkTelegraphYour 10 TON Becomes 10 GRAM: Don't Touch Anything, But This Name Carries a Whole HistoryLet me get the single most important line out first: this is just a rename, and you don't need to do anything.

🪙Your TON has been jobless since the day you bought it.Time to send it to work:1. Drop your TON into KTON (we file the paperwork) 2. You get 💱 KTON back as proof your TON is now gainfully employed 3. KTON deploys your TON to PoS validators across the TON network 4. You stay on the couch. The paycheck arrives anyway.Currently around 16% APY. Fluctuates like any honest job market. Your idle TON earns 0% APY. Indefinitely. Even your houseplants are more ambitious. At least they grow.✅ Your job: deposit the TON ❌ Everything after that: above your pay grade👉 app.kton.ioDr. Doge

🤑 April's "TON got faster" made the headlines. But fast was never the finish line.The real test is the moment a project blows up and everyone rushes in at the same second, whether the chain holds up in the jam.This week TON did two things: on June 1 every validator installed new software, and on June 3 they vote on-chain on whether to switch on the new abilities inside it. None of it is a slogan, but it's what decides whether last month's speed survives real traffic.I wrote up the impact, the optimizations, and the improvements, with a config-and-source map at the end for anyone who wants to go deeper 👇🔗 Telegraph linkTelegraphAfter the Speed: TON's June Update Fixes the Harder, Less Glamorous HalfThe April upgrade that pushed confirmation times under a second is out of scope here.

On April 1st, a huge number of people in Russia found Telegram had just stopped connecting. Proxies died one by one. Normal websites loaded fine.Most assumed their IP got blocked again, switched lines, and got nowhere.Because this time the block wasn't aimed at your IP. It was aimed at your disguise. Telegram's answer was to change into a whole new outfit overnight, one that looks like the latest browser, and to let a blocked proxy switch itself to the next live one.But this costume war is still going, right into the end of this month.I wrote the whole thing up. Code, not headlines 👇🔗 Telegraph linkTelegraphThey Stopped Blocking Your IP.

Everyone wants an AI agent that can act for them. Nobody wants it draining their wallet.🏴 TON's fix: don't give the AI your wallet, give it a spare card.

Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.8 yesterday. 41 days after 4.7. That is the pace of someone who knows the competition is about to drop something big.What actually changed:- Agentic coding: 64.3% → 69.2% - 4x less likely to let bugs pass without flagging them - Fast mode roughly 2.5x quicker - The model is now more willing to say "I am not sure"They are calling it "the most honest model yet." The real story is that they trained it to admit uncertainty. This is the opposite of how every other AI provider has trained for the last five years. Honesty as a competitive moat.Side detail buried in the launch: in a simulated town benchmark, Claude's agents committed less crime than any other model.I am still deciding whether that is funny or terrifying.Mythos class teased for the coming weeks. 🐶

The Cryptocurrency That Remains Unused 📉Signal incorporated a cryptocurrency for five years, a fact likely unknown to most users. In April 2021, Signal introduced "Signal Payments," utilizing a currency known as MobileCoin. At the time, this integration was hailed as a breakthrough for the platform, which boasted 85 million monthly active users. However, adoption was virtually non-existent.The MobileCoin blockchain has not received a code update since 2026. The project rebranded to Sentz in 2023. The founder of Signal resigned in 2022. Jack Dorsey advocated for Signal to discontinue the integration last year. The asset price peaked at $73 in 2021 and currently trades at $0.16. 💸The technology itself was not the primary issue. Signal maintained MobileCoin at arm's length; the feature was opt-in and buried withinTelegraphThe Crypto That Nobody Usesawesome doge Signal has had a cryptocurrency built in for five years.
