Freedom for Durov, SBT for Us

Today, in 1957, Hans Zimmer was born. He’s a German composer who’s created music for TONs of games and films, including *Sherlock Holmes*, *The Dark Knight*, *Pirates of the Caribbean*, and so on.

Someday, they’ll make a movie about crypto enthusiasts. We wonder who will compose the soundtrack for that?...

But now, let’s quickly cover the important stuff, because we value your time — time is Moni.

What’s up?

Everyone's talking: If you signed the petition for the release of Pavel Valeryevich Durov, it's time to mark it with an SBT.  

This is really important. We still believe in a TON wave this fall. These kinds of perks only benefit our wallets.  

Oh, and yes, FREE PAVEL DUROV! 

Other important news:

- More about TON. We pulled liquidity from Storm.Trade. Regular followers know that we had USDT and TON there to farm points, which can soon be exchanged for tokens.

We’re waiting for the TGE from Storm soon. You can check out the vouchers here. The project is interesting, with support from the Ton Foundation, and is highly regarded by many respected figures.

- The wonderful Stacy Muur has rolled out her top L2 Ethereum solutions.

1st place: Arbitrum, as it holds 40% of all TVL in the L2 world.

2nd place: Mantle, with the second-largest treasury in web3, many products of its own, and high user retention.

3rd place: Optimism, popular with its OP Superchain but falls short of Arbitrum in activity.

4th place: Base, currently the king of memecoins in the L2 world.

Next in line are Linea, Scroll, ZkSync. Blast and Starknet are at the bottom, as the data (FDV, user numbers, etc.) speaks for itself.
