Telegram is effectively tightening its grip on TON
The main news is that Pavel Durov announced Telegram is becoming a key driving force in the TON network and the largest blockchain validator. At the same time, network fees were slashed to nearly zero. Following this, TON saw a sharp increase in price and trading volumes.

#TON has become faster
In May, reports emerged that the network $BNB #TON achieved transaction finality in about 0.6 seconds. That's faster than many popular networks, including #Ethereum and #bitcoin .

What’s happening with NOT
Notcoin remains one of the most recognized Telegram tokens. The project started as a simple tap-to-earn within Telegram but has effectively become a symbol of millions of users entering TON.
NOW NOT is being discussed again due to:
increased activity for TON;
revival of interest in Telegram games;
potential new cycle of Mini Apps;
boost in community engagement.
Many analysts believe that the success of NOT has shown: Telegram can bring a massive audience into crypto without complicated interfaces and exchanges.
DOGS are back in hype
DOGS — one of the most discussed meme tokens in the TON ecosystem. Following recent statements from Telegram and the surge in TON, interest in DOGS has skyrocketed again.
Reasons for popularity: huge Telegram audience;
viral spread;
meme culture;
simple integration with Mini Apps and TON wallets.
DOGS are now viewed as the 'next-gen Telegram meme coin', similar to how Dogecoin is tied to internet culture, but within the Telegram ecosystem.
