    We must show the unity of the crypto industry by organizing a FreePavel DAO to help Telegram founder Pavel Durov legally regain his freedom. I will donate $1 million if it is created in a decentralized way with enough community support.Justin Sun

    Support from Memeland

    The NFT project Memeland also showed support for Telegram by purchasing $1 million worth of TON. The funds were converted from the Memecoin treasury, and the team stated they would not sell TON until Pavel Durov is released.

    20 hours ago, we converted $1,000,000 of our team treasury into TON in the open market. We will HODL until Durov is released. Telegram is the app that our team and millions of other people use every day. It may have some bad actors, but which platform doesn't?Memeland Team
