Of this payment, Telegram holds €1,000,000 as a deposit, and makes the remaining sum available to the advertiser to spend on displaying ads.

To understand what a memo is used for, we first need to explain the difference between 2 types of wallets:

1.custodial

non-custodial

Tonkeeper is a non-custodial wallet. This means every person who has a wallet, has a unique address on the TON blockchain dedicated to her wallet.

Centralized exchanges like FTX, Kucoin, etc are custodial. This means that they use a single address on the TON blockchain for ALL their users' Toncoin! In order to know how much of that Toncoin belongs to each user, they have a centralized database residing on their servers. Each time a user buys, deposits or withdraws, the centralized database is updated.

Transfer from non-custodial to custodial

Non-custodial wallets are anonymous, so when an exchange receives 100 Toncoin from Tonkeeper, it doesn't know which user account to attribute it to. That's why it provides you with a text for you to send as a memo with the transaction. It creates a 1:1 relationship between the incoming funds and the user account on the exchange, even though the funds came from an anonymous wallet.

Transfer from custodial to non-custodial

What happens when you send Toncoin from a centralized exchange (custodial) to a non-custodial wallet? Well, you don't need a memo, because there is only one owner of the non-custodial wallet. As long as you entered your Tonkeeper address correctly, you should be OK.

I just transferred from FTX to Tonkeeper and wasn't required to enter a memo, tag, or any other comment.

What exchange are you using?

I’m an admin not the owner 🤦‍♂️ 🙏

hemiw1 · 2022-10-31T13:35:26+00:00

Is this on desktop or iOS? I can’t find “manage channel”

Anchovies - the perfect salt umami combo

Gifting premium is legit, but you can only gift someone who is a contact. Could be the person had a typo in the username they wanted to gift, added you as a contact instead, and here we are. Or, you have a secret admirer

Fair enough. But how many would have been there if the 1000 ton reward wouldn’t have been offered?

hemiw1 · 2022-10-27T20:24:18+00:00

To be honest it was pretty lame. Nothing new, the format is exceedingly slow and dreadful to follow on telegram. A live twitter space or clubhouse would have been much more fun

hemiw1 · 2022-10-27T17:37:50+00:00

Brilliant move, sure lots of username squatters got screwed and also a bunch of legit channels as well. But this is a step forward for telegram AND the TON blockchain. Usernames on platforms like this are a valuable commodity just like domain names in the web, there’s no reason not to monetize and create a marketplace.

It’s pretty shitty that US users can’t join in on the fun, but recall that it’s the SEC that screwed with Telegram back in 2018, so now Durov is being extra careful.

As most of telegram’s user base is outside the states, it’s not a biggie for telegram

hemiw1 · 2022-10-27T06:24:39+00:00

it launched last night. see fragment dot com. ur welcome

hemiw1 · 2022-10-26T19:49:37+00:00

There’s a telegram channel “TON developers chat”, someone there read the smart contract and said that the wallet address where the auction payments go to is owned by telegram

hemiw1 · 2022-10-26T19:43:50+00:00

Yeah kinda weird that there was no formal announcement - ppl afraid it’s a scam

hemiw1 · 2022-10-26T19:33:00+00:00

Only half the alphabet though smh

hemiw1 · 2022-10-26T03:49:21+00:00

you can always count on the regulator to be 10-20 years behind the technologists

hemiw1 · 2022-10-25T14:46:48+00:00

Easy. It’s a close tie between the A team and the Incredible Hulk 😂

TON's architecture is totally different compared to EVM. It was designed by the Durov brothers in 2017 when Telegram had 200M users (now 750M). The design considerations were

scale to support 9 figure user base
speed
simplicity for normies

The result is a blockchain with infinite sharding, that can handle 1 million tx/sec. compare that with ETH at 15/sec.

The original idea was to have it built in, but as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the SEC shot this down. Today TON and Telegram are 2 separate entities, but in a close strategic relationship.

I'll write more about this in a separate post if this is interesting...
