TON was once seen as the future of Web3 in messengers — fast, scalable, and backed by Telegram. But something went wrong.

The ecosystem has lost its soul. And the final blow?

TON had everything:

- massive Telegram audience

- built-in wallets

- fast L1 tech

- NFT, tokens, bots

But in chasing user growth, it opened the floodgates to low-effort "clickers" — apps where users tap for tokens. That’s when quality died.

Yes, activity surged.

But it was empty.

Bots farmed tokens. Real innovation drowned in fake DAOs and poorly made tap-to-earn games.

Builders left. Investors lost interest. All that remained? People spamming the "Claim" button.

Then came manipulation.

Clickers became tools for insider dumps, bot-driven launches, fake hype.

Trust collapsed. Drops were followed by instant crashes. People realized: TON was now a playground for exit liquidity.

TON still exists. But the vision? It’s gone.

Clickers brought on-chain growth — and killed the ecosystem’s credibility.

It could’ve been Web3’s gateway.

Now it’s just a gamified faucet.
