🎁 The Future of Gifts

Telegram gifts have limitless potential. Just imagine full creative freedom: your own gift themes, exclusive avatar frames, unique DM effects... That’s what I love about Telegram — the unlimited possibilities it brings to life.

🎁 Plush Pepe remains my favourite collection among them all. Its steady growth keeps blowing my mind — it's not just a Telegram gift anymore, it's a full-on legend. And what about gift markets?

🤩 You know how much I'm after @Portals. I was there to steer its race from a cool idea to the undisputed leader in the space. We left all competitors behind in just a few weeks, breaking all the possible records. Being part of that journey has been one of the most exciting experiences of my career so far.

🫡 Today I’m stepping away — no more business ties with @Portals. The project is in good hands (shoutout to Lucha :D), it keeps growing and gaining its long-term value.

🎁 Thank you to the entire @Portals team — for the trust, the energy, the busy days and the late nights, for working side by side — together we made Portals what it has become. Keep pushing that high standard we set from day one, and I'll be just as excited for your success as you are.

🚀 My own road continues in a new direction. Onward to unconquered heights!

When reality exceeds expectations. That’s the winter for me.

⭐️ Tab bar of the dream

I saw this really cool concept and started imagining my own perfect version.

👨‍🍳 I’d add a 'Gifts' tab — to always have my favorite collections right at my fingertips; a @Word tab — to keep learning Spanish by launching the app even faster; and a 'Wallet' tab — to make quick payments and check my balance right from the main screen.

🏢 The ultimate would be a fully personal tab bar — letting you swap out stuff you never use (say, that 'Calls' icon) for your go-to app.

🧬 Telegram is already starting to feel like LEGO, and features like this could turn it into the perfect sandbox.

⭐️ On the Way to the Next Year

What a packed year it’s been — full of travels, new faces, and outstanding projects. I visited 30 countries, diving into cultures I’ve never known before and collecting memories I’ll never forget.

😄 My favorite? Japan — a country I returned to multiple times during this year, each visit revealing something entirely new.

🤝 The incredible people I met along the way left a piece of themselves with me and made me wiser at every turn.

🧢 Beyond the personal journey, my projects also had a breakout year, proving their worth in hard facts. Let’s break them down:

🪙 Major. Our rental marketplace boosted the floor price of +888 NFTs; Business Cards became a true legendary product; $MAJOR staking locked over 10,000,000 tokens and distributed 425,000+; we burned 2,300,000 tokens in total.

❤️ Portals. 2025 was the Telegram Gifts Year, so we decided to build the main stage. Portals became the largest Telegram Gifts marketplace — we overtook all competitors in the first month alone. 70,000,000 TON in turnover, 5,500,000 gifts sold, and 4,000,000 active users gained.

🔡 Word. In the endless stream of apps that offer easy entertainment, Word carved out a different space. It’s a platform built for purpose, not hype — something you don’t see often. That’s why Word learners aren’t here for a quick flip; they’re a more focused group, invested in learning and sticking around.

💼 And I’m not stopping here — every year feels like another step up the mountain. Seeing the impact my projects have across the entire Telegram ecosystem only fuels the fire for more.

😊 A huge thank you to our loyal community for your support. We’ll keep bringing you bold projects — ones that make noise, but more importantly, make a difference.

🎆 The next chapter starts now!

🐣 It happened. Our decentralized confidential compute network, Cocoon, is live. The first AI requests from users are now being processed by Cocoon with 100% confidentiality. GPU owners are already earning TON. https://cocoon.org is up, with docs and the source code.

🤔 Centralized compute providers such as Amazon and Microsoft act as expensive intermediaries that drive up prices and reduce privacy. Cocoon solves both the economic and confidentiality issues associated with legacy AI compute providers.

🚀 Now we scale. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be onboarding more GPU supply and bringing in more developer demand to Cocoon. Telegram users can expect new AI-related features built on 100% confidentiality. Cocoon will bring control and privacy back where they belong — with users. 🤖

🥳 Major Year for a Major Project

What a year it’s been! For me, and for my favourite project, @Major. It’s been a wild ride with a wild 1,000,000 tokens burn today!

⭐️ And I’m truly glad we’ve traveled this path together. So many new friends, adventures, and unforgettable moments...

Seeing everything we’ve accomplished side by side with my team and my followers means a lot to me 🎁
