In the fast-paced and ever-changing cryptocurrency scene, Blum has established a strong presence through the smart integration of a seamless user experience and advanced trading tools on $TON and the Telegram app. In a step reflecting its commitment to transparency and community engagement, Blum held a live 'Ask Me Anything' (AMA) session on June 4, 2025, gathering over 15,000 participants from around the world.
During the session, Blum's founders presented their strategic vision, explained the details of the $BLUM token, the airdrop mechanism, as well as the future of trading and listings, and the expansion of the ecosystem. This article provides you with a comprehensive and organized summary of the key points discussed in the session.
🚀 Why TON and Telegram?
Co-founder and CEO Gleb Kostariev clarified that the choice to focus on Telegram and the TON network was not random, but stemmed from the fact that Telegram has an audience of nearly a billion users, making it the ideal platform for deploying Web3 applications. Additionally, TON's policy only supports mini-apps, creating an integrated environment where Blum's tools operate efficiently without distraction towards multiple platforms.
🌐 A future vision extending for decades
The Blum team has set long-term goals focused on simplifying the on-chain trading experience. From launching the Memepad bot to supporting multiple chains like $SOL and $BNB , and developing the Blum fast trading dashboard – all of this contributes to building a robust infrastructure that supports smart, easy, and secure trading tools.
💡 $BLUM is not just a token
The team confirmed that $BLUM is not a temporary promotional coin, but will be integrated at the core of the ecosystem through:
Discounts on trading fees
Token burn and buyback operations
Participation and reward opportunities within products
👥 From user acquisition to their loyalty
Instead of click-to-earn methods, Blum focuses on providing real value to the user through tools like a trading bot and launchpad, enabling users to earn MP points from their first trading experience.
🧾 What is the story behind Vladimir Smirkees' departure?
Kostariev revealed that Vladimir withdrew from the project due to a legal issue in Russia, without providing further details out of respect for legal proceedings, while noting the team's full support for his family.
🌍 Wide global interest
Statistics show that the greatest interest in Blum comes from countries such as:
Nigeria, Vietnam, Russia, Ukraine, Indonesia, Turkey, and Latin America.
🛡️ Sybil detection and objection mechanism
The team has developed a precise system to detect fake accounts (Sybil) within airdrop distribution campaigns. If your account is mistakenly flagged, you can submit an objection request that will be manually reviewed and corrected if proven valid.
💬 Can $BLUM be traded now?
Yes, $BLUM will be traded within the Blum system through the bot and mini-app. The team prefers to focus on trading within the system itself, while discussions about listing on centralized platforms (CEX) continue.
📱 Upcoming apps and integrations
While Blum is currently focusing on the Telegram mini-app, the possibility of developing a standalone app in the future is being considered. Integration with MetaMask and WalletConnect is technically possible, but is delayed due to Telegram's restrictions.
🔁 Native platform and independent blockchain?
Yes. Work is underway to build a comprehensive trading platform with an order book and clearing system. There are also considerations for launching a dedicated blockchain like Hyperliquid to achieve fast and efficient trading.
💸 Airdrop and token distribution
🚫 No public sale! $BLUM will not be offered for public sale. Instead, the community will be rewarded through a continuous and organized airdrop.
🪂 Upcoming airdrop: The new "Cradle Airdrop" system will distribute tokens in stages according to user interaction level, encouraging long-term loyalty.

My personal opinion
The fact that the team took so long to disclose this information was indescribably negative, and the issue related to one of the platform's founding members in Russia has affected the community's trust in the team. Distributing only 20 percent to the community, with only 10 percent of that going to individuals who worked hard on the bot for over a year, will lead to disastrous results.
