Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov has endorsed $MAJOR as one of Telegram’s top success stories in his recent post on the messaging app.
He also praised the token’s developer, Roxman, and promised to hold donated assets for a decade. In his 28 November Telegram post, Durov stated,
Roxman generously donated 1% of $MAJOR tokens to me, which I won’t be selling for the next 10 years.
$MAJOR has seen increased popularity ahead of its imminent token launch and airdrop on the TON blockchain.
Durov admired Major’s mini-app platform since it is easy to adopt and boasts “features that feel like they naturally belong in Telegram.”
Major’s growth and innovations attract Durov

He added that he received 1% of the asset’s total supply from developer Roxman. Meanwhile, Durov confirmed that he won’t sell the tokens for ten years.
Such commitment demonstrates the CEO’s trust in the project’s sustainability in the upcoming years.
Besides his close ties with Roxman, MAJOR’s roadmap likely grabbed Pavel Durov’s attention.
