Are you in the club @ton10k ? Here’s one of my gems. 💎

The Stoics believed that freedom begins when you truly own something that cannot be taken away by another person’s will. Today, we’re increasingly getting used to access instead of ownership. We rent homes, lease cars, pay for subscriptions to music, movies, software, and services. Even our digital lives exist on platforms governed by someone else’s rules. Little by little, ownership becomes the exception, while renting becomes the norm. Perhaps that’s why so many people still overlook TON DNS. A domain is more than just an address. It’s one of the few pieces of the digital world that you can actually own, rather than simply use until someone changes the rules. The idea of a free internet has always been tied to independence, openness, and the right to own your place within the network. Maybe that’s why the true value of TON DNS will only be understood much later.

100 $GRAM for a TON domain. For Russians, that sounds less like an investment and more like a tradition.

👀LOL

How exactly will domains be used? Did you finally remember about them? The community has been asking for profile integration for a long time — are we finally going to see it? 👀 Give us a little behind-the-scenes look. @rogozov

Just parked my upgraded Telegram domain. 🛒 👀 The game is changing.

Next: Telegram becomes a Web3 Super App

Maybe we should launch a challenge on the TON blockchain ? Drop your ideas in the comments.

The top 10 TON DNS buyers have already spent 2,961,130 TON on domains. At roughly $3 per TON, that’s about $8.88M spent on domains alone. 👀

Only the-open-network:native can made real #web3 with his identity like: .ton domain, username, anonymous number and much more #mtonga

Little birds behind the scenes are already whispering that big changes are coming to TON…

FINAL — TON DNS 105 — Will history repeat itself? 👀 After reading all these posts, some people may ask: “Okay… but is this really the future? Or just another niche thing?” Fair question. Technology changes. Markets change. Years ago, commercial real estate was considered one of the best ways to build wealth. Shops, offices, retail spaces — owning square meters meant stable cash flow. Many fortunes were built that way. Then things started changing. Remote work. E-commerce. Changing habits. The pandemic. Some office buildings became less valuable. Some malls lost traffic. Does that mean real estate died? No. It means the world changed. And with it, where value is created changed too. The internet changes as well. Web2 gave us websites, usernames, emails, apps. Web3 adds ownership. TON DNS is not just “a domain for a website.” Yes, it can be a website. But it can also be a digital identity, a wallet name, a payment address, a name for a smart contract, a service, an AI agent, or any Web3 application. Instead of long unreadable wallet strings, you get something human-readable: Alice.ton King.ton 8888.ton A domain can be linked to a wallet, website, smart contract, service, or agent. Imagine sending money, tokens, or assets simply by typing a name instead of copying a long address. No one knows exactly how fast these technologies will evolve. But history shows something simple: The world keeps changing. And usually, the people who understand new infrastructure early understand the opportunity first. 🤫

TON DNS 104 - a story about domains 🧵 Back in the 90s, most people thought domains were useless. “Why would anyone pay for a word on the internet?” One man saw something different. His name was Rick Schwartz - later known as The Domain King. While others bought stocks, cars, or real estate, he quietly bought internet domains. People laughed. In 1997, he bought Porno.com for ~$42,000. Most thought he was crazy. But here’s what many miss: He didn’t just wait for the price to go up. The domain itself received direct traffic - people literally typed it into browsers. Rick monetized that attention through ads, redirects, parking, and traffic monetization. The domain became cash-flowing digital real estate. Years later, Porno.com reportedly generated millions in revenue - and was later sold for nearly $9M. His idea was simple: “The best domains are digital real estate.”

TON DNS 103 - why .ton domains are underrated 🧵 Want to buy a domain on the secondary market? You can find .ton domains on webdom.market - the leading marketplace for TON domains, with auctions, analytics, bots, portfolio tools, and domain discovery for serious domain investors. Why TON DNS stands out: • A domain is a real on-chain NFT • Annual ownership confirmation costs only 0.015 TON (almost nothing) • This is not “rent” — it is closer to a proof of life, a symbolic confirmation that the owner still controls the asset • If a domain is abandoned, access to the wallet is lost, or the owner no longer manages it, the domain eventually returns to the market through an auction • No massive yearly fees just for holding a domain • A fair auction system: the market sets the price through bids • No “first come, grab and flip” chaos — domains are distributed through transparent auctions • Short readable digital identity for wallets, websites, services, and Telegram/Web3 use cases • Native advantage of the Telegram TON ecosystem Unlike many naming systems where ownership feels closer to renting, TON DNS feels much closer to actually owning a digital asset.

TON DNS 102 - mint prices by domain length 🧵 How much did .ton domains cost before vs now? The longer a domain stayed unregistered, the lower its starting auction price became - until the minimum level. (This is the minimum auction entry price, not the market price of the domain.) • 4 characters → was 1,000 TON → now from 100 TON • 5 characters → was 500 TON → now from 50 TON • 6 characters → was 400 TON → now from 40 TON • 7 characters → was 300 TON → now from 30 TON • 8 characters → was 200 TON → now from 20 TON • 9 characters → was 100 TON → now from 10 TON • 10 characters → was 50 TON → now from 5 TON • 11 characters → was 10 TON → now from 1 TON Every TON paid in auctions goes into TON DNS smart contract. Today, TON DNS contract hold ~7.5M TON (≈$13.7M) on-chain. No official announcements exist, but in Web3, domain ecosystems have historically used treasuries for ecosystem growth, incentives, grants, or community distributions.

TON DNS 101 - beginner guide 🧵 A quick memo on how .ton domains work: • A .ton domain = an NFT (ownership recorded on-chain) • A new available domain → auction (1 hour) • An expired domain → re-auction (7 days) • A bid placed in the final hour → auction is automatically extended by 1 more hour • Minimum bid increase: 5% • A domain can be linked to a wallet, website, service, or Telegram/Web3 identity • Annual symbolic renewal is required, otherwise the domain can be lost Why are 4-digit .ton domains important? Because this is the minimum possible domain length, and there are only 10,000 in total. In essence: NFT identity utility scarcity.
