Happening next Monday 👇 I'm thrilled to announce the public launch of Overleap 📩 Launching a product is like welcoming a newborn into the world. It’s a momentous occasion, filled with excitement and promise. Yesterday, Overleap 📩 had its grand debut by winning first place at the TON Foundation & Ton society Open League Summer: Warsaw Bootcamp, demonstrating our dedication to creating a simple yet powerful solution to communication challenges. We all know how frustrating it can be to receive unsolicited messages from strangers. They often lack personalization and consume valuable time to address. Overleap 📩 tackles this issue with our Telegram bot, which allows you to receive paid messages from people outside your contact list. Think of it as a paywall that filters your messages, ensuring that those who genuinely want to connect compensate you for your time spent reading and responding. It’s a win-win: you get rewarded for your time, and the sender gets the attention they seek. Linkedin, prepare for Overleap 📩 Email vs Messengers.

Over the last year, I've noticed that more and more professionals tend to move their business communication to messengers - Telegram, Whatsapp etc. Curious to know, whether it's an certain industry trend or a global movement👇 This week Pavel Durov - Founder & CEO of Telegram will be in the spotlight ⤵ Starting today - a public interview with Tucker. In the interview Pavel is shedding light on events that happened to Vkontakte back in 2014 (The major social network of Russia) and shaped the creation of Telegram Messenger. This friday, Pavel be will participating in the most anticipated panel TOKEN2049 with Tether.to CEO Paolo Ardoino, sharing his vision for the future of Telegram and how it’s becoming a truly web3 social network with the help of TON. If you are a founder - these events are definitely a must see. Do you know Telegram has it's own vibrant Web3 ecosystem? And the best part Available without leaving the messenger. Check out their impressive stats in the comment section ⤵ Source: https://lnkd.in/dVfmGv-6 The super app no one is talking about on LinkedIn. ⤵ With a user base of 900 million, roughly one-tenth of the global population, Telegram Messenger has quietly become a major force. Despite previous financial struggles, founder Pavel Durov anticipates profitability for the company next year. The key breakthrough came with the integration of TON Foundation into Telegram's ecosystem, acting as a catalyst for its revenue streams. Telegram's revenue model is multifaceted: → The premium subscription service, introduced two years ago, quickly garnered over 1 million paid users. These subscriptions could be purchased using $TON. → Broadcast channels on Telegram attract a staggering one trillion views monthly. Despite only monetizing 10% of these views through Telegram Ads, Durov reveals plans to enhance the ad system, allowing channel owners to earn 50% of ad revenue in $TON. Creating a solid demand for the currency. With investors valuing Telegram at over $30 billion, an IPO seems likely in the future. Moreover, recent additions to Telegram's business functions on March 4, such as custom greetings, auto-responses, and business hours settings, highlight its evolution beyond a mere messenger into a comprehensive social network. Looking ahead, Telegram's business functions will be further empowered by AI. Durov has expressed intentions to introduce AI-powered chatbots for customer service, solidifying Telegram's position as a versatile platform with vast potential.
