TON is like the socialist Soviet Union with Chinese characteristics at the beginning of the millennium, led by the Planning Commission + seemingly open but in fact closed ecology, although developers can deploy applications at will, but the final project has an official background, and all major projects are also officially led; Although the interior is in full swing, it will take time for the external reaction to take place
A few days ago, I met a friend from Ton Foundation under the Beijing line, and the chat process updated my understanding of TON. The biggest feeling is that the information gap is much worse than expected. After the craze from the last wave of mini-games faded, they are actually advancing very quickly around the world, especially in the DeFi and Sticker NFT lines. But there is hardly any voice on the Chinese community. Sticker NFT is already one of the most active asset forms on TON, with exaggerated trading volume and user activity, but no one mentions it here. At the same time, there are still many Web2 game companies or studios in China that are studying how to publish TG mini games, and building alliances with TON through some Web2 game exhibitions. And the problem does exist, TON still works hard, but it is difficult for TG to make a relatively large update and upgrade from the product level, because the founder's obsession with the product form is very strong, and this "minimalist aesthetic fundamentalism" has become its ceiling. The other thing is that the development team is also small, disproportionately small, as I've heard before. In such a structure, it is more like an ecosystem with Telegram as an interface and growing on the edges, and many narratives are not prepared for us in the first place. In other words, the story of TON is not for us to tell. This may still be an opportunity.
