Backstory and the Big Picture

I run a business in the field of IT security. My company provides a wide range of services aimed at ensuring that computers, servers, and everything else that constitutes “IT infrastructure” operates reliably and securely, keeping business owners happy (at least ensuring their technology doesn’t get in the way of making money).

Besides that, I also “work with cryptocurrency.” Crypto is my passion—it started the moment I first encountered it.

Given my experience and reputation in these two areas (IT security and crypto), I found myself in a situation where affluent people began asking me to help them figure out what cryptocurrency is and how to work with it. Typically, the request looks like this: a business owner or a top manager who’s heard of crypto says, “Teach me!” I conduct a training session, after which the client—now satisfied—tells their acquaintances about me, and new clients come my way. I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve personally introduced to this wonderful world—at least a hundred, for sure. None of them are dollar billionaires as far as I know, but there are definitely some ruble-based millionaires among them!

Once a person has “gotten into” crypto, the next logical question they ask is: “Okay, I have ETH (or some other crypto). Can I make money off it?” And that’s where we dive deeper into DeFi: learning to use DEXs, provide liquidity, grasp the concept of impermanent loss, understand TVL, APR/APY, stake TON and ETH, delve into lending protocols, and so on.

In practice—unfortunately—at some point, many people find all this too complicated and “lose the thread.” It seems not everyone is destined to grasp DeFi in-depth. Still, they generally get the idea that it’s a new world where you can preserve and grow your assets, one that could potentially replace traditional banking (TradFI) in the long term.

It’s obvious to me there’s a certain demand from people in the traditional financial world who want to bring their funds into DeFi in a “simple and comprehensible” way, but there’s currently no convenient tool for doing so. I happen to be on the front lines of this demand, talking to wealthy individuals who trust me.

That’s why I decided: why not create an investment hub where someone with expertise in growing assets in DeFi could meet someone who has money (Finance) and bring them together in a simple, understandable, and transparent way?

I see several ways to do this, but the simplest in my view is through “tokenization.” I’ve talked about this idea with a few clients (in private conversations), and the reactions were very positive:

Some people like the idea of buying 15% of the tokens of a certain KOL (Key Opinion Leader) who has the knowledge, skills, connections, and authority to find (or create) a “true gem” and make 100,500% profit.
Others like the idea that a data analyst will monitor all activities, drops, boosts, and APR on a daily basis, systematically and methodically growing their money.
I already have a number of highly interested investors who’d like me to implement this idea (and, naturally, for it to start bringing in returns).

We’ll call this project Ton Nexus (working title, subject to change).

The idea

I’m not a prophet, and I don’t know for sure whether this project will take off. I value my reputation and my time, and I definitely don’t want to commit to a project doomed to fail from the start. Therefore, I decided to test-drive one idea.

As it happens, I’m personally deeply immersed in the TON ecosystem: I trade, “multix my funds,” get insider tips, and so on. If we trust the calculations of the following service:

https://ton.toon.org/WDDHXEA

then according to 2024 results, I entered the TOP 1% of TON wallets by turnover (2024 was undoubtedly intense).

I decided to tokenize my wallet in order to:

See if there’s any demand for this idea within the ecosystem.
Encounter the problems and challenges that need to be accounted for when launching Nexus.
By perfecting something that actually works, we’ll gain valuable practical experience—far more valuable than theoretical speculation.
Serious players are much more receptive to projects that already have an MVP rather than mere theory and “numbers pulled out of thin air.”
On top of that, I’ll be collecting a dataset of all actions, transfers, and communications related to the project—these data will be used to train an AI model in building Nexus (yes, Nexus will definitely include AI; in 2025, building something without AI is noncompetitive).

Invest Presale

I’ve launched the presale in the best traditions of the “Golden Age of TON.” You need to send TON to the following address:

UQCVw5zOnZwtrxuuAhOcAkJ6-Ub9nkiCIpR_wZUiznh11qm5

Please use a non-custodial wallet. If you send TON from exchanges, Wallet, Cryptobot, xRocket, etc., I’ll accept it as a donation (for which I thank you), but you will not receive any APPL tokens.

Minimum amount to participate is 10 TON. (If that sum is significant for you, I recommend not participating.)
There’s no maximum.
If your transaction is less than 10 TON, I’ll take it as a donation, for which you also have my thanks.

Softcap: 40k TON

Hardcap: 100k TON

Everything we raise above the Softcap (40,000 TON) up to the Hardcap (100,000 TON) goes into joint ownership of $APPL holders. Thus, if we exceed the Softcap, all TON collected above the Softcap goes into shared ownership!

If you learned about the presale from any influencer, please include their referral link in the comment (memo) of your transfer.

Regarding referral links: if a transfer doesn’t include a referral link (empty memo) or if it’s incorrect, that transfer will be assigned the referral link of the previous correct transfer. Indeed, you can use this to “take the spot” of the last incoming transfer to receive a referral bonus from those who come after you without a referral link.

If you are an influencer in the TON ecosystem or you’re sure you can spread the word about the presale, message me in private—I’ll give you a referral code. The minimum number of transfers required for influencer status is 20. If fewer than 20 referral transfers come in from you, your referral code won’t be counted.

To avoid a situation where people send TON at the last minute and to encourage a more even distribution of incoming transfers, those who send funds earlier will receive slightly more APPL (see “Tokenomics”). So hurry!

The end of the presale will be announced on my Telegram channel @appl_ton, and it will also be reflected in an on-chain transaction.

If you’re reading this text, the presale has already started.

Presale end time: January 18, 2025 (Saturday), 20:00 UTC+3

Tokenomics

Total token supply: 1,000,000 $APPL.
Initial token price (at DEX listing) — 0.1 TON.
40% of $APPL will be added as liquidity — that’s my share. When distributing profits or holding any votes, these tokens are counted as my percentage. I reserve the right to adjust liquidity (up or down) at my discretion based on the future of the project.
40% of $APPL will be distributed among presale participants.
10% of $APPL I will distribute personally at my discretion.
5% of $APPL will be distributed among the wallets that helped the presale succeed (based on referral links, proportional to the volume).
2.5% of $APPL will be allocated to DAO decisions (we’ll hold fair votes for token holders).
2.5% of $APPL will be allocated among the wallets that participated in the presale earlier than others (proportional to their entry time and amount).

For simplicity of accounting (to avoid infinite recursion where tokens for wallet ownership are stored in that same wallet), $APPL/TON LP tokens and $APPL tokens themselves won’t be stored on the appl.ton wallet.

Tokenized Assets

I have a main wallet:

UQCVw5zOnZwtrxuuAhOcAkJ6-Ub9nkiCIpR_wZUiznh11qm5

DNS: appl.ton

At present, appl.ton holds about 40,000 TON worth of assets (valuing domains at mint price and NFTs at their potential collateral value—so it’s more of a baseline estimate).

100% of this wallet’s assets = 1,000,000 $APPL.

Currently, the wallet holds:

1,553 TON
10,500,000 $ANON
5,000,000 $GRAM
20,000 $TONNEL
1 x xRocket Cosmonaut, level 3
4 x DAOLama Cards (all colors with epic traits)
17 x Big Diamonds, 4 x Medium Diamonds, 4 x Small Diamonds (if any connoisseurs are out there, you can estimate their rarity)
3 x Annihilation Mirage NFT (two regular, one Genesis rarity)
1 x TON DNS CLUB NFT
Enough Kingy NFTs to be in the Kingy 25k+ private group
Golden Relayer Tonnel NFT with ~1.5% of the total reputation (plus several bronze ones)
FCK Private Key (old-school item)
1 x Anonymous Number
3 x Telegram usernames: @freesoul, @corefuck, @reowner
117 x TON DNS Domains (notable ones include alfabank.ton, citi.ton, help.ton, expert.ton, keys.ton, lock.ton, puma.ton, nlmk.ton, loewe.ton, supreme.ton, bing.ton, espn.ton, logo.ton, eminem.ton, sbrf.ton, etc. — each could potentially bring in a substantial amount of TON when sold; just need to wait!)
19 x GRAM DNS Domains (100% gem!)
Various NFTs from different collections—some may have artistic value.

There are also assets you won’t see in the explorer, for example 32,606 $PX that will soon be claimable, or ~3,000 TON in CES/TON LP tokens that are still locked in Coffee Swap staking for ~4 more months at 27.7% APY. These assets are also included in the offering, and revenue from them is tokenized as well. Essentially, any drops—or even if an early miner makes a mistake and sends me 100,500 million TON—it will be counted toward the overall revenue (and nothing else).

After the tokenization procedure is complete, any withdrawals from the wallet will only happen if the withdrawn amount is distributed among token holders (and perhaps in the future—among stakers).

I will continue to manage the assets at my sole discretion: I’ll decide when and what to buy or sell. I promise to act in good faith and with a genuine interest in maximizing returns (as I always have).

I conduct all negotiations for selling NFTs, domains, and so on personally, and all deals will be carried out on-chain through this wallet only.

For example: imagine someone eventually offers me 20,000 TON for the domain ALFABANK.TON, and I decide to accept. That transaction will be conducted via this wallet, and the 20,000 TON will become project revenue (after which I’ll decide whether to reinvest or distribute it among holders).

I plan to make maximum use of a DAO mechanism when deciding whether to reinvest or pay out profits to token holders—this is one of many points where we’ll need to work together to find the optimal strategy.

By purchasing $APPL, you in some sense become a “co-owner” of my wallet, my skills, ideas, connections, and everything else.

Very Important

I spent a lot of time writing this text and covered all the key points. Please refer to this text if questions arise. Don’t message me privately with questions that are already answered here.

I have no plans to buy back my token for millions or billions of dollars so that someone can get rich instantly. I’ve outlined the project’s goals, and giving away my personal money is not among them. The idea in my head is “earn together,” not “spend my own money so others can profit.”

$APPL is declared “Shame Free”: anyone can freely buy and sell it, and no one has the right to shame anyone for doing so. I’d be happy to work with long-term holders, and in my view, $APPL is a long-term investment. I believe the best approach is probably to buy it for the long haul and see where it leads. But of course, you’re free to experiment with any other strategies you like.

If the Project Fails

I don’t like it when someone thinks less of me after a project than before, so I find it important to discuss possible scenarios in case of failure in advance.

On January 20, 2026 (one year later), I guarantee a buyback of tokens from anyone who wants it at the presale price +25%:

0.125 TON = 1 $APPL

This is the only situation in which I will inject external funds into the project. You’ll have 14 days to exchange your tokens. This mechanism may possibly be applied on an annual basis.

If the Project Succeeds

Imagine everything goes well, my efforts aren’t wasted, and your support is tremendous (which is exactly what I believe will happen). In that case, TON Nexus will be launched for real—complete with a team, marketing, etc.

If TON Nexus is ever launched, presale participants will receive 5% of the new project’s total token supply (a retrodrop for those who supported me early). So think carefully about which wallet you use to participate, and don’t lose access to it.
If TON Nexus is ever launched, APPL holders at the time of launch will receive 5% of the new project’s token supply (the exact distribution mechanics will be determined closer to launch).

Final Words of Advice

Don’t invest your last money or borrowed funds.
Don’t invest more than you’re prepared to lose entirely; otherwise, you might not enjoy the experience.
Don’t form overly high expectations for the project, just to be disappointed later.
