13 posts held, back to 24 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
32 reactions across 13 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 56.3% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 18 | 56.3% | |
| 🔥 | 10 | 31.3% | |
| 👍 | 4 | 12.5% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 13 of the 13 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 32reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 13 most recent posts we hold, published 24 July 2026 to 6 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Cash or stock? Unlike other tokenized stock platforms that reinvest eligible dividends into a token's exposure, Bitget's rTokens distribute stablecoins directly to your wallet, just like a traditional brokerage. Five of the top 10 rTokens by trading volume pay dividends this way, just a few of the 500+ rTokens issued through Bitget's regulated RWA issuance platform Reality Protocol. Here's what a payout might look…

The physical collectibles scene is back, and it's all grown up. Analysts value the this market anywhere from $10 billion to $20 billion for the US alone, to $30B globally in 2025, growing toward $54B by 2033. It was only natural that physical collectibles would end up onchain, gamified, gacha-style. Onchain gacha, aka spinning a randomized "pull" for a chance at a valuable asset, with an instant buyback if you don'…

xSOL from Hylo touts 'no liquidation, no funding rate' for 3x SOL exposure. Both are true, but who pays when the pool comes up short? 🌐 New research breaks down how xSOL's supply grew 28x as it lost nearly all its value, and what a recovery would take.

Four of the biggest names in fintech landed on the same playbook. Coinbase, Robinhood, Deel, and Kraken each adopted curated stablecoin vaults, letting users earn yield without touching DeFi directly.

Capital that used to churn roughly twice a day is now turning over less than one and a half times. Trading has thinned out considerably, but the size is still there. Perp DEX volume has fallen sharply over the past year, but open interest hasn't. Comparing two back-to-back six-month windows, average daily volume across perp DEXs fell from $32.4B to $21.4B, down to 66% of its prior level. Open interest fell too, but…

Showing the 12 most recent of 13 posts we hold for @defillama_research. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 16,976 of 1,481,306entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 14 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
