Andrea Chang’s Post

📣 TOP CEO, Andrew Rogozov: TON x Telegram📣 Our CEO Andrew Rogozov took the Gateway stage to recap a landmark year for TON x Telegram! And what a year it has been – Mini Apps with skyrocketing MAUs, USDT on TON, and paradigm-shifters like Notcoin – Telegram has become a hub for viral, blockchain-powered experiences! With 100M #TON users already with active wallets, “We are on track to achieving our mission of engaging 30% of the Telegram ecosystem on TON" said Andrew. Key Takeaways: ✨ Flywheel Effect - Seamless integration and viral games drive exponential growth and user engagement by building momentum for the whole ecosystem. 📲 Evolution of Mini Apps - As the ecosystem matures – Telegram’s unique Mini Apps, Channels, Bots, and Groups will natively distribute tokens and engage users on-chain. 📈 New Aggregators - Access to different protocols, liquidity providers, more competitive pricing, liquid staking, and more. 🌟 Gas Fees - Coming soon, Telegram Stars to cover gas fees. 🎁 Rewarding Users - By creating a native asset in $TON, "The whole ecosystem is designed to allow users to benefit from the features they interact with” says Andrew. Hype + Innovation = Value. Yes, the hype is real. But so is Telegram’s thriving ecosystem and TON's commitment to innovation. TON’s journey with Telegram is just getting started—stay tuned!

Did half your contact list join Telegram since the Notcoin launch?😄 It's exciting to see the potential of Telegram Mini Apps to bridge the gap between the familiar chat platform and the rapidly growing Web3 economy. If you ask me, I'd say it's a game changer for mass adoption. Here's why: ✅️ User Friendly Dashboard Asides complex crypto wallets and interfaces. Telegram Mini Apps allow users to interact with Web3 services directly within the Telegram app they already know and trust. There's a familiarity between them and it significantly lowers the barrier to entry for millions, if not a billion. ✅️ Functionality Telegram also leverages existing web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS) for a smooth user experience, fostering a diverse range of Web3 functionalities within the telegram ecosystem. ✅️ Organic Growth Telegram's core strength lies in its ability to spread information organically. A user discovers information within a crypto discussion group, tries it out and shares their positive experience. This organic spread through trusted social circle, brings millions of users to Web3 in a way that traditional marketing channels often struggle to achieve. Reportedly, mini Apps have awarded Telegram users an average of $1000 in earnings clearly demonstrating the potential for value creation within the Web3 space. I believe this is just the beginning and can't wait for the future Web3 holds for us. Think about how the Web3 incentive model can disrupt a lot of other industries, engendering growth and mass adoption. Photo credit - dappexpert #Web3 #Miniapps #Massadoption

𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦'𝐬 𝐈𝐏𝐎 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚 - 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Telegram Messenger's impressive growth to 900 million users and potential IPO raise critical questions. Here's a breakdown of the key challenges and potential strategies: 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 - WhatsApp Overlap: Assuming at least 30% of Telegram users also use WhatsApp (a conservative estimate), this still leaves the majority of Telegram's base as potential market share gains. - Signal's Surge: Signal's recent growth could be a canary in the coal mine. If its trajectory outpaces Telegram's, it signals that privacy-first messaging is increasingly mainstream. - Emerging Threats: Telegram needs to track new entrants, especially those offering even stronger encryption with broader feature sets. - The Privacy Premium: Can Telegram quantify how much its focus on privacy is worth to users in terms of stickiness and willingness to pay? This is key to its market differentiation. 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐝𝐬, 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 & 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - Ad Model Fit: If Telegram targets $1 billion in ad revenue by 2025, it needs a much larger pool of advertisers. What's the price point that drives adoption by smaller businesses alongside big brands? - The Channel Opportunity: Assuming 5% of Telegram's channels adopt revenue sharing, and successful channels generate an average of $50k annually, this model could add significant revenue by 2025. - Untapped Potential: e-commerce integrations, in-app payments, or even Telegram-native cryptocurrency could be game-changers, though they carry development costs and potential regulatory hurdles. 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 - Moderation Investment: Implementing AI-assisted moderation could increase Telegram's per-user cost by 20-30%. This needs to be built into profitability projections, especially as user growth continues. - The Governance Factor: Investors will want to know how Telegram mitigates the reputational risk and potential regulatory fines associated with harmful content. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞: Telegram has breakout potential, but needs a strategy fine-tuned for both its unique appeal and a rapidly changing market. The devil's in the details – and the numbers. #Telegram, #IPO #messagingapps #whatsapp

🚀 Exciting Tech Update / Eyes for IPO after Telegram hits 900mil users! Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, has revealed plans for the company's future growth, including achieving profitability next year and eyeing a potential IPO down the line! With over 900 million users globally, Telegram is already making "hundreds of millions of dollars" through ads and subscriptions, signaling a promising trajectory. Durov emphasized the importance of monetization to maintain Telegram's independence, seeing an IPO as a means to democratize access to its value. While not seeking a massive funding round, Telegram remains open to smaller equity investments. The platform's monetization efforts include premium subscriptions and ad solutions for channels, with plans to introduce ad revenue sharing soon. Additionally, Telegram aims to expand its ad offerings globally, catering to both large-scale advertisers and small-ticket spenders. Recent announcements include the option for personal users to convert to business accounts via subscription fees, further enhancing the platform's versatility. Telegram's foray into blockchain-based projects, such as premium usernames auctions and a self-custodial crypto wallet, demonstrates its commitment to innovation. Durov has also hinted at future AI-powered chatbots for customer service and moderation improvements using AI technology. Stay tuned for more updates on Telegram's journey and innovations!

Hamster Kombat is gearing up to make history with what could be Telegram Messenger’s most successful airdrop. Over 130 million users are eligible to receive #HMSTR tokens, making this a massive distribution event in #Web3. The project’s innovative play-to-earn mechanics, paired with a viral referral system, have generated unprecedented buzz across Telegram and X. With such a large user base and the potential for $HMSTR to launch above an $800 million market cap, all eyes are on this token airdrop. What sets Hamster Kombat apart is its strategic use of referrals to drive virality, as users compete to earn bonuses that could double or even triple their rewards. The project's massive scale is a bold move, but will this tokenomics strategy sustain value post-launch? As anticipation builds, investors are speculating on whether this will redefine airdrop success or fizzle out after the hype. Speculate and join the conversation! https://lnkd.in/guZ9j3Hh

Telegram, the encrypted messaging app, has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 900 million monthly active users and is now on the verge of profitability. The company's founder, Pavel Durov, has revealed that Telegram is considering an initial public offering (IPO) as it continues to grow and generate revenue through advertising and premium subscriptions, which were introduced two years ago. The Dubai-based company has seen rapid user base growth, with the number of users more than doubling from 500 million at the beginning of 2021 to the current 900 million. This growth has positioned Telegram as one of the leading social media platforms globally. #ai #aiautomation #chatgpt #businessautomation #workflowautomation #systemsautomation

🪙X Empire: To Be or Not to Be? After reviewing some of the plans, I realized I was right not to sell my $X tokens. I’ll continue holding them until the team delivers the infrastructure they’ve promised. The developers are rolling out multiple products within their ecosystem, but one caught my attention the most: Feed 🔥 It’s a main-page format, like what Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook have — something Telegram currently lacks. The Feed will consolidate posts, photos, and news from various channels and groups. Channels will also have the option to promote their content through $X tokens. I think this is a brilliant idea with strong potential. If this product gains traction, $X tokens could become highly valuable in the future. The Downsides? 👎 There are a few. X Empire’s Feed isn’t an official Telegram project. It would be ideal if they could get direct support from Telegram. However, there’s always a risk that Telegram may eventually launch a similar feature integrated as the main page. If that happens, we can guess what might happen to $X tokens and the Feed concept. For now, I’ll keep watching, but I like the direction the team is heading. If the ecosystem is fully implemented, I expect 10-20x returns from the current price (not financial advice). #telegram #newsfeed #feed #crypto
