Blum, a decentralized trading infrastructure, made a significant impact at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong (Feb 18-20), which drew nearly 10,000 crypto professionals. Blum was represented by Igor Pugachevsky, Co-Founder, who participated as speaker in prominent events such as Telegram Builder's Day, Hackseason, and TON Asia, highlighting the app's innovations in decentralized finance.

Key Highlights from Pugachevsky’s Speaking Sessions:

● Scaling DeFi, Onboarding Telegram Audience: Blum taps into the massive Telegram user base of over 1 billion, leveraging this network to offer a unique decentralized trading experience to its users. Blum will not stop here and will offer other platform and product versions in the future (Trading Bot, Web Terminal, Perps, AI Agents, and integrate other Chains).

● The Future of DEXs: DEXs will be defined by deeper liquidity, enhanced user experience, and more sophisticated trading tools. Blum is at the forefront of this evolution, focusing on integrating multiple platform versions (Telegram Mini App, Web, and Mobile App), multi-chain integration, Memepad, and Perps. By continuously refining its product suite—Blum is paving the way for a new era of decentralized finance.

● Scaling the TON Ecosystem, A Vision for Web3 Builders: As the TON ecosystem continues to expand, its potential to become a cornerstone of Web3 innovation grows stronger. With its deep integration into Telegram’s vast user base, TON provides an unparalleled opportunity for Web3 builders to develop and scale decentralized applications with seamless user onboarding. By lowering entry barriers and providing intuitive, user-friendly financial products, Blum aims to accelerate the TON ecosystem’s growth, making Web3 more accessible to millions worldwide.

● Blum’s Breakthrough Product: Blum’s inaugural trading product, Blum Memepad, became the largest on the TON blockchain and the second-largest globally (by daily transaction volume) in just three months. The product achieved $300 million in trading volume, saw 200,000 tokens created, and listed 380 tokens on decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

● Community Engagement: Blum’s community—now the largest in the world with over 59 million followers across all social media—plays a pivotal role in driving the platform's success.

Blum also hosted the vibrant event DEGENS In The Sky on February 19th at The Trilogy in Central, Hong Kong. The exclusive gathering, offering breathtaking views of the city, was one of the standout events of Consensus week. Co-hosted by Blum and DOGS, the event also featured Pay3, DoNot, Bums, #fomo_hash, MissW, Star Riser, TOP (The Open Platform), and TON Society.

Since its official launch in April 2024, Blum has experienced rapid growth, reaching 38 million unique on-chain wallets (users) and leading the TON ecosystem in on-chain activity. Earlier this month, Blum secured $5 million in investment from prominent crypto funds, including gumi Cryptos Capital, Spartan, No Limit Holdings, YZi Labs, OKX Ventures, Bitscale Capital, and Wintermute Ventures. This funding will bolster the development of new products, including a multichain trading bot, an AI-driven Memepad, and futures trading.
