Join the #DigitalResistance and Fight for Your Freedoms

Our most fundamental rights — freedom of speech and digital privacy — are under attack like never before. Governments and political correctness worldwide are tightening their grip, threatening to silence voices and monitor our every move online. The arrest of Pavel Durov in France isn’t the first time Durov has had to fight for our rights. Durov didn’t back down last time. Instead, he launched the #DigitalResistance — a movement to fight censorship and defend digital privacy.

The symbol of this movement? A dog in a hood. The Resistance Dog. In 2011, Pavel Durov was ordered to eradicate the posts of liberal thinkers and dissidents. In response, Pavel posted a picture of his dog, refusing to silence anyone on his platform. Since then, this dog has become the mascot of free speech. It has become an emblem of hope, incredible strength, and courage.

This isn’t just about one man; it’s about defending the rights of every individual. The #DigitalResistance is a movement for all of us who believe that privacy is a right, not a privilege, and that free speech is the foundation of a free society. By uniting under this banner, we are sending a clear message: we will not be silenced or surrender our digital freedoms.

Learn more about the movement and why it matters.

Open League Break Announcement

We are taking a break in The Open League, including the project leaderboards (App, DeFi, NFT) and the Normie & Degen airdrops, starting 9am UTC on Sep 20th. The break will last for around two weeks, with the restart date announced in advance. Once we’re back, the league will run for three more weeks, completing the planned 4-week cycle.

Why the pause?

The largest airdrops in Web3 are coming! Hamster Kombat, Catizen, WatBird (Gamee), and other major TON apps are set to distribute rewards to hundreds of millions of users, showcasing the true decentralization of Web3. To ensure smooth transactions and accurate tracking of your Normie and Degen airdrop activities, we’re giving the system a breather.

Key Points:

▪️ All your activity from the first week of Season 6 is recorded—nothing is lost.
▪️ Normie and Degen badge minting will also be paused, but you can request them once we restart.
▪️ Projects in the App, DeFi, and NFT Leagues are kindly asked to avoid large-scale activities until further notice.

We’re thrilled about these upcoming events that will reshape Web3! Let’s rally our community and make this a huge success!

Stay tuned for updates!
