If you live in the US, you've heard the tone before: a staccato series of beeps followed by an oddly neutral voice disclosing any number of warnings or disasters.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Apps on the TON Blockchain Have Become Extremely Popular. Is It Sustainable?
This year, games on TON have taken off, garnering hundreds of millions of users in a few months. TON Foundation’s Alena Shmalko and Jack Booth share their insights on how TON, after Telegram had run-ins with the SEC, got here.

The price of TON has more than tripled from about $2 to $7, and daily active addresses recently exceeded those of Ethereum in May and June. Games with fun names like Hamster Kombat and Catizen are gaining traction, and Pantera Capital, an OG crypto investor, is making its largest investments yet in TON.

Show highlights:
- Alena’s and Jack’s backgrounds and how they ended up at TON
- How TON evolved from its origins with Telegram to its current status, and how it began getting traction this year, according to Jack

- The importance of USDT in Ton
- When might a Bitcoin trustless bridge be deployed and why it could be significant
