Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q6_K_XL, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 8 August 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 96% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

21 posts held, back to 23 May 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 17 pagesof 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.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 12 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
Mainnet validators: Please schedule a time in accordance with the schedule outlined below to perform and activate the [2026.08] update. This update is mandatory for validators; full node owners do not need to update. The upcoming update will activate collators on the TON Mainnet network. Update schedule: Monday 17 August at 14:00 UTC: upgrade of node software to version [2026.08]. Tuesday 18 August at 12:30 UTC: …
Attention Mainnet validators Please take part in the voting for network config adjustment: Config 30: Set the protocol to stable version. If you use mytonctrl, please vote for proposal via vo 97476904964537115993827662219965215594287692635916428067774379550074503377880
Mainnet Validator and Node Software Update [v2026.07] Please update your node software: Update with mytonctrl: update master upgrade master reload_global_config Target versions: — node: bb935a8 [v2026.07] — mytonctrl: 90046e0 [v2.17.1] If you are not using mytonctrl or using ubuntu older than 22.04, check this instruction (https://telegra.ph/TON-Node-Upgrade-202511-11-05).

The update instructions will be published within 2 hours.
Mainnet validators and node owners: Please schedule a time on Monday 3 August at 11:00 UTC to perform the software update. This update is mandatory for both validators and full node owners. The update will complete the switch to the plumtree broadcast method enabled in release 2026.06, and will disable the legacy broadcast method to reduce network traffic.
Mainnet node owners Please update your nodes to the 2026.06 release now. See https://t.me/tonstatus/225. Failure to update your nodes will result in loss of network synchronization once legacy broadcasts are disabled in approximately one week.
The proposals to update Config 8 and Config 30 have passed. The network is now using both the new Plumtree broadcast mechanism and the legacy broadcast mechanism simultaneously. In approximately one week, we will ask operators to update their validators and nodes. After the update, the network will use only Plumtree broadcasts. Based on our estimates, this should reduce inbound node traffic by approximately 4× and…
Attention Mainnet validators Please take part in the voting for network config adjustment: Config 8: Increase the network version to 15. This will enable changes to improve network stability. More information can be found here. Config 30: Increase the protocol version to 2. This will enable Plumtree broadcasts feature that was included in 2026.06 upgrade.

Attention Mainnet validators: On Wednesday, July 22, starting from 5:30 UTC, we ask that validators set aside time to vote on two proposals. Config 8: Increase the network version to 15. This will enable changes to improve network stability. More information can be found here. Config 30: Increase the protocol version to 2. This will enable Plumtree broadcasts feature that was included in [2026.06] upgrade.
Mainnet validators Please take part in the voting for network config adjustment. In order to improve the stability of the network, we kindly ask that you vote in favor of temporarily reducing the maximum number of shardchains from 16 to 4. This reduction will not affect the performance of the blockchain or the user experience under the current organic load. This reduction is temporary, and we will increase this set…

Mainnet validators and node owners Please schedule a time on Wednesday, July 15, at 11:00 UTC (tomorrow) to perform the software update. Furthermore, validators will be asked to vote on adjusting the technical network operating parameters. This update is mandatory for both validators and full node owners. The update will include important changes to improve performance and stability.
Showing the 12 most recent of 21 posts we hold for @tonstatus. 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 — 913 of 1,151,006entries 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. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
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.
Named by 86 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it. The 24 listed below are the most frequent namers; the rest are counted above but not each listed.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Telegram’s own answer, not this register’s.When this register asks Telegram’s API what is similar to this channel, this is the list it returns, in the exact order Telegram returns it — never re-sorted by subscribers or by anything else this register measures. The relationship, and the order, are Telegram’s; we record them and date them, and make no claim of our own about which of these channels actually resemble this one.
Read from Telegram’s recommendation API, most recently 12 August 2026. Telegram holds a list like this for a small and growing share of the register — how this is measured, and why most channel pages show nothing here.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 9 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
