Pavel Durov: Telegram will become the largest validator node in the TON network.

According to Mars Finance, Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated on his personal channel that TON network fees have decreased by approximately six times, currently approaching "almost zero." Key adjustments for the next phase include: Telegram will replace the TON Foundation as the primary driver of TON, becoming the largest validator on the TON network; the ecosystem focus will shift to technical performance and infrastructure optimization; and technical updates include: the launch of the new ton.org, the release of next-generation developer tools, and upgrades to network performance and scalability, with these upgrades expected to be implemented within 2-3 weeks.
