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. It is computed over the 1 of 19 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

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.
Reaction mix
1 reaction across 1 post, in 1 kind.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 1 | 100.0% |
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 1 of the 22 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 1reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 22 most recent posts we hold, published 29 July 2026 to 11 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.
Recent posts
Breaking News: Russia has officially approved Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether for public exchange trading and international transactions. Retail investors can trade up to 300,000 rubles ($3,630) per year from the 1st of September after passing a risk test, though using crypto for everyday local purchases still remains off-limit.
Hopes of a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz weakened after US President Donald Trump demanded that Iran pay compensation for people killed in wars, attacks and protests. The demand came after Tehran called for compensation for its military losses and an end to sanctions, adding another obstacle to negotiations over the strategic waterway. https://defi-planet.com/2026/08/trumps-iran-compensation-demand-raises-fre…
Michael Saylor's company, Strategy, sold 1,690 Bitcoin for $108.6 million between August 3–9, averaging $64,262 per coin. The company still holds over 840,000 BTC, but its unrealized loss now stands at $9 billion. After years of aggressively stacking BTC, Strategy is now trimming its position, and it's definitely something to watch.
The New York Stock Exchange is moving further into blockchain-based market infrastructure, with President Lynn Martin saying the exchange is developing a platform for on-chain settlement of tokenized securities. The announcement comes as traditional market infrastructure firms increasingly test whether blockchain can handle parts of the stock market without sacrificing the controls investors already rely on. https://…
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is in discussions with banks over a possible regulatory framework for tokenized gold, according to the Financial Times. The regulator is expected to publish guidance or standards in the coming months as financial institutions assess how digital representations of gold should be treated within the financial system. https://defi-planet.com/2026/08/uk-regulator-considers-tokenize…
BREAKING NEWS: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says the United States could lose its position as the world's reserve currency within the next 25 years. He warns this could happen if the U.S. fails to maintain its economic and military power. If the dollar's dominance fades, many believe Bitcoin could be one of the biggest beneficiaries.
Crypto transactions aren't as untraceable as people think. Exchange-held funds can be frozen by court order, and tools like Chainalysis can still trace transactions back to the real identities. Read more:👇 https://defi-planet.com/2026/07/do-you-really-own-crypto-if-the-government-can-just-take-it/

India’s Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has ruled out an immediate review of its newly introduced stock closing auction, even after the mechanism triggered sharp volatility in futures and options markets during its first week. https://defi-planet.com/2026/08/sebi-stands-firm-on-closing-auction-despite-early-market-swings/
Arthur Hayes has argued that the AI infrastructure boom resembles the U.S. housing market before the 2008 financial crisis more than the dot-com bubble, warning that slowing data centre construction could expose billions of dollars in leveraged debt. https://defi-planet.com/2026/08/arthur-hayes-warns-ai-data-centre-boom-could-trigger-debt-problem-favouring-bitcoin/
DeFi is shifting from complex yields to simple user experiences. In 2020–2021, massive yields brought millions into crypto. But bad UIs, security risks, and manual network switching pushed everyday users away. Today, the builders are prioritizing safety, automatic chain switching, and friction-free interfaces making it easier for users to navigate Web3.

Showing the 12 most recent of 22 posts we hold for @defiplanetofficial. 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.

Shares as published, totalling 0%. No per-option vote count is published by Telegram, so none is shown.
Percentages only — there are no per-option vote counts here, because Telegram publishes none.The public post preview gives each option’s share and a single voter total, and nothing else. Multiplying one by the other would produce a per-option tally that looks measured and is not: the shares are rounded to whole numbers before we ever see them. We print what was published and leave the column that does not exist empty.
The shares need not add up to 100.Rounding alone puts many polls at 99 or 101. A poll that allows more than one answer per voter runs well past 100 by design, and several here do. The bars are drawn against a fixed 100% track at each option’s own percentage rather than normalised to the total, so a poll that exceeds it shows that it does instead of being quietly rescaled.
Read from the 22 most recent posts we hold, published 29 July 2026 to 11 August 2026. Telegram labels each poll by kind — an anonymous poll, a quiz, a closed set of final results — and that label is reproduced rather than paraphrased.
