servers are melting down ofc!

but who cares

1️⃣1️⃣ When I turned 11 in 1995, I made a promise to myself to become smarter, stronger and freer every day. Today Telegram turns 11 years old, and it’s ready to make the same commitment. Every day, Telegram should become:

✨ 🧠 smarter (more features for the people)
✨ 💪 stronger (more popularity among users)
✨ ✈️ freer (more independent and self-sufficient)

🎂 Happy birthday, Telegram!

P. S. Just 2 weeks after the last major Telegram update, we’re launching new features today — a new type of channels and 3 new ways to support content creators. Enjoy! 🌅

Yo Dawg, I heard ya servers are burning hot? 😉

/Edit: Is there a vet here?

It’s over now… what a ride! 🏴‍☠️

5 weeks ago Dogs were introduced to the audience, we’ve all had a recap of our own story in Telegram, together we’ve built a huge community of millions of people and now we are glad to move forward!😎

It’s been an incredible journey 🥷

But wait… is it really over? 👀🐶

Dogs that are giving 🐶

Years ago, Pavel Durov made the drawing of the dog 🦴 for a charity auction.
Inspired by this act, we wanted to make supporting charities a good tradition and an integral part of our journey.

Earlier in July, members of our community spent their Telegram Stars within the app, and we decided to donate all the funds to a good cause.

A total of $306,808 was split into 3 parts and donated to the following organizations:

- Save the Children (https://www.savethechildren.org/)
Payment Confirmation
- Save an Orphan (https://www.saveanorphan.org/)
Payment Confirmation
- Animal Charity Evaluators (https://animalcharityevaluators.org/)
Payment Confirmation

We want to thank everyone who participated in this event! 🥷
We look forward to continuing this tradition of giving as we move forward on our journey together 🦴

Dogenomics 🐶

🥷 81.5% goes to the community (no locks, of course):
- 73% for you, Telegram OGs, who earned DOGS in the app
- The rest goes to rewards for traders, sticker creators, and future community members

😎 10% is allocated for the team and future development, with the major part in a 12-month vesting period

🤑 8.5% is reserved for liquidity on CEXs and DEXs, and listing-related events

Total Supply:
550 billions $DOGS

$DOGS is a meme, community token, born in VK and Telegram and will soon belong to the people.

In the coming weeks, we'll introduce an exciting new side of DOGS: meme stickers that can be minted and traded on-chain. And yes, it’s all for $DOGS, of course.

🤑 Next Steps for Claiming Your Tokens 🤑

Here’s what’s coming up:

- Starting Tomorrow, 16th of August:
You can start claiming your tokens to your Telegram Wallet or the CEX of your choice.

If you don't have an account yet, make sure to create it in advance and complete KYC:

- Binance 🟠
- Wallet 👛
- OKX ⚪️
- ByBit 🟠

- Starting 20th of August:
You will be able to claim your tokens to a non-custodial wallet.
If you don't have a TON Wallet, you can get one from Tonkeeper.

Important Reminder:
To claim tokens to a non-custodial wallet, you'll need to pay “gas” for blockchain transactions in Toncoin.

If you don't have Toncoin in your wallet, you can quickly buy it with Stars, or you could get Toncoin on exchanges and send it to your non-custodial wallet.

Stay ready and get set for tomorrow! 🐶

🐶 53M users joined the @dogshouse_bot and 42.2M are eligible for the airdrop

With an average amount of 9,500 $DOGS per user, over 400,000,000,000 will be distributed to you on Aug, 20 — the listing date 🔥

While crypto is fun, it is also quite a wild place. For those adventurous who love to play with futures, we suggest to be cautious and only trade if you double checked all the data, including total supply, circulation on TGE and other basic token-related numbers.

For those who is waiting spot, we are almost there! Prepare your account on CEXs or @wallet.

Wanna go onchain? No problem, just make sure you have Toncoin to pay gas for transactions and swaps.

Dogs are about to break out 🏴‍☠️

Claim to Telegram Wallet and CEXs is now open! 🐶

You will find all the instructions inside the app. Don’t forget, you will need an account on the exchange of your choice and completed KYC.

Please remember, you won’t receive tokens immediately, but they will be deposited in the account of your choice by the 20th of August.

If you don’t have an account yet, you can register it here:

- Wallet 👛
- OKX ⚪️
- ByBit 🟠

We anticipate a high load on the app and the "claim" button won't appear to everyone at once 🥷
If you have trouble accessing the app, please try again later! 🦴

If you decide to withdraw tokens to a non-custodial wallet, that option will be available on the 20th of August.
For now, just don't forget to connect your non-custodial wallet.
If you don't have a TON Wallet, you can get one from Tonkeeper.

Over 3.5 million people have already made their choice of the exchange just in the first 10 hours!

Could it be the biggest airdrop ever? ❓ Easy.
