DOGS is coming soon. Durov? We hope soon so

Today, in 1925, Charles Henry claimed that with the help of X-rays, he managed to capture a part of a person's soul. We don't know if the soul exists... 

But we do know that those who arrested Durov definitely don't have one. FREE PAVEL DUROV, DEMONS.

Now, a quick update on what's important, because we value your time—time is Moni.

What’s up?

Everyone’s talking about: Durov.

Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun are speaking out in support of Pavel. Even Musk, btw.

TON projects are changing their pfps to a dog in a hoodie—a symbol of resistance used during Telegram's 2018 battle with Roskomnadzor.

Polymarket gives a 31% chance of Pavel’s release in August.

We think this is a very tense time for TON. Until now, it was perceived as some sort of child of Telegram and Durov himself. Right now, they have to prove to the community that they are independent and strong without Durov.

If they succeed, TON has a very bright future ahead, as this isn’t the first time they’ve gone through a serious crisis.

If they fail... well, you know what that means. Let’s hope for the best, shall we?

Other important news:

– $DOGS will be released. We expect it on the exchanges at 12:00 UTC.

– It seems that Sony's L2 testnet will launch on August 28th. We recommend checking it out.

People were earning roles in Discord; we kinda slept through it. 

– Also, on Friday, Brian Armstrong released a tool for Onchain Score. You enter your wallet and see how many points you have. We’ve got 81/100, what about you? Check it out!

We don’t think this is some sort of preparation for an airdrop. But who knows?
