Durov, an influential figure in the crypto space, received a token gift worth $2 million in 2024 from major developers to promote their project. He committed to holding these tokens for ten years, but their current value has significantly decreased to $60,000, raising questions about the feasibility of such long-term holding promises, especially as public commitments in the crypto market often face volatility. This event reflects the broader trend of crypto projects utilizing token airdrops to increase awareness and liquidity within ecosystems like Telegram’s TON blockchain.
