Durov safely exits France, Ton coin price rises.
Unable to search for the total traffic data of Telegram (even centralized platforms can’t find it), but we can see that in the past month, those games not using the Ton chain have either removed their Web3 features to become free Web2 games or games with fiat payment on TG, or have gradually left the Telegram ecosystem to start fresh on web platforms or other platforms.
Telegram is determined to promote its own Ton, so it’s telling these Web3 projects that don’t use the Ton chain to leave, and not to use Telegram’s traffic to develop businesses on other public chains anymore. Personally, I think a one-size-fits-all approach isn't appropriate; many Web3 projects find it very difficult to switch chains. Telegram might be better off implementing a fee system, charging those Web3 projects that don’t use the Ton chain on a monthly active basis, rather than directly pushing them away.
Speaking of which, after Telegram's “exclusive Ton chain policy” started on February 21, the price of Ton has been on a downward trend. At that time, Durov was just unable to exit France, which did not affect his personal freedom or any business decisions within France; the market had already given immediate feedback to this exclusive Ton chain policy.
Looking forward to what new strategies Durov will launch for Telegram/Ton after clearing the lawsuits in France and regaining freedom?
