The cryptocurrency market saw a significant increase in activity with the price of Toncoin surging by around 30% after Pavel Durov made an announcement about the future development of The Open Network. In his statement, Durov revealed that Telegram will take on a more prominent role in driving the project forward, marking a shift from the TON Foundation to Telegram as the main force behind the network.
This change is significant because it brings new leadership and expertise to the table, with Telegram being one of the most widely used messaging platforms globally. As the largest validator, Telegram will be responsible for ensuring the security and stability of The Open Network.
The announcement also highlighted a series of technical upgrades that are set to improve the performance of the network, including new developer tools and a revamped fee structure. According to Durov, these changes will take place within the next 2-3 weeks, which is expected to further boost investor confidence in Toncoin.
