8,760 hours, 365 days, 12 months, 1 year. that's how long it's been since the post “OpenCoin launched online” was published.
It's been a long year. we remember a lot of things. the very first airdrop - yes, it was fun. we remember how a joke gave birth to the idea we've been guarding for 525,600 minutes now. the idea of a decentralized future of web3 and an ecosystem of services where everyone is free to choose.
Many times our idea has failed. We remember it all. The scandals, the disappointments and finding faith again.
It's been 31,536,000 seconds. Everyone doubts. We doubted. Doubt breeds failure.
What's the right decision? Should we add this or that feature? What if we try GameFi?
We had no doubts about one thing: the project will live on. it is an outlet for dozens of people from different areas of TON who have gathered to turn ideas into reality.

Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
Telegram Gives Up On Crypto Blockchain Project
Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durov’s cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. “The technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,” he wrote on his channel. “Unfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.”
