Will there be a breakout of the golden dog during the market lull?

Today, Twitter and Telegram were flooded with links from a black and white dog’s Telegram bot, with everyone showing off the points they received from this black and white dog.

At this moment, this viral spread gives a surreal feeling, as if the "familiar feeling of a hot bull market has returned."

The name of this black and white puppy token is succinct: DOGS, inspired by the mascot Spotty created by TON's founder Pavel Durov.

According to the official introduction: it is the meme coin that best embodies the spirit of Telegram, reflecting the spirit and culture of our vibrant community. We are bringing Spotty's legend into the cryptocurrency world, creating a fun, community-driven, and unique product.

So, it turns out to be a meme coin from the TON ecosystem, and it seems to be aiming to stir up a big wave.

Some netizens have dug up that Pavel Durov seems to have had a little dog before, resembling a black and white husky.

Pavel Durov's Twitter account has been inactive for two years, but from his previous tweets, it is evident that he seems to have a fondness for the image of black and white dogs.

At a time when the TON ecosystem lacks representative MEMEs, the viral black and white dog seems to have the potential to become a cultural symbol that relies on rapid dissemination through Telegram; during this short-term market reshuffle, such MEMEs are certainly worth more attention from every player.

No Threshold Participation, Everyone Gets a Share

Participating in DOGS is very simple; you just need to enter the corresponding Telegram channel, and points are shared among those who see it.

Entering the Dogs bot channel, the bot will rate your account based on your Telegram account registration time and activity level, distributing points according to the rating, while opening a Premium account also provides extra points rewards.

Importantly, Dogs has initiated a familiar invitation system, which is also the reason why Dogs has wreaked havoc across all social platforms in just half a day.

According to my testing, a Telegram account registered for 4 years can receive around 3000 points after joining the channel.

As for the specific exchange ratio of points to tokens, it has not yet been disclosed, and the project seems to lack a well-established Twitter account, so all details remain unknown. However, the good news is that as long as you have a Telegram account, you can claim it, which can be said to have no threshold; it seems Dogs is well-prepared to break the circle.

After all, who doesn't want free stuff? No need to register a wallet or understand complex rules; just come and claim it, the psychology of picking up a bargain will surely entice most people to come and take a look.

As of the time of publication, the viral spread effect of the project has already manifested, with the Dogs bot attracting over 1 million users, and the project team has already posted a celebration image in the channel.

How Did It Become So Popular So Quickly?

Although TON + Telegram has always touted mass adoption as its goal, it still faces the reality that infrastructure cannot keep up with expectations. Meanwhile, since Notcoin, the anticipated second breakout has yet to arrive, and the once-popular hamster game has been reported to yield insufficient returns to even cover electricity bills, which seems to leave users betting on TON + Telegram mini-games with a sense of helpless determination.

People's hopes for TON's breakout again are still focused on Memecoins. In this round of market, Memecoins have shown excellent resilience during the crash, and the out-of-circle effect led by Notcoin in the TON ecosystem has attracted retail investors to bet on the combination of "Meme + TON," making this powerful combination of two strong concepts this year continuously intriguing.

Moreover, the concept of "founder's pet" is a meme hype concept that players are very familiar with; it just moves from other sectors to the TON ecosystem. It seems like old wine in a new bottle, which may not seem interesting, but combined with the current market's expectations for TON Memes, Dogs may just hit this golden moment.

However, currently, aside from registering and inviting to earn points, no further gameplay has been released. But as a project that has just launched for less than a day, this black and white puppy has already achieved some essential characteristics needed for breaking out.

Is it a big shot gathering or a lucky grassroots team? Regardless of the true nature behind this black and white puppy, through viral social media dissemination, Dogs has already completed a cold start in people's cognitive level.

After the dissemination of such a phenomenal project, there will inevitably be a flood of phishing websites pretending to be the project, waiting for careless users to fall for them. While having fun, please be cautious and careful.
