DuckChain (DUCK) is a Layer 2 blockchain integrating AI and cross-chain interoperability, transforming Telegram into a crypto super-app with seamless DeFi access.

 (TON) blockchain in 2024 has focused the crypto industry's attention on the Telegram messaging app and its potential 

 use cases. The Open Network, frequently referred to as TON, became the first major blockchain project to tightly integrate the worlds of crypto and Web 2.0–based social media. And Telegram, with its nearly 1 billion active monthly users and popularity for one-to-one and one-to-many interactions, can be an absolute goldmine for web3 projects.

It was only a matter of time before other blockchain technology projects recognized the messenger's massive potential, and rushed to leverage opportunities. One of the earliest among these projects is DuckChain (DUCK) — a 

 network. DuckChain aims to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, 

 (EVM) compatibility and cross-chain interoperability with a unified gas system, and to close integration with Telegram to become a significant bridge between Web 2.0 and web3 environments.

 (DUCK) is a high-performance, AI-powered Layer 2 chain designed for tight integration with the Telegram social media network.

 It’s based on Arbitrum Orbit technology, a framework for building highly scalable and cost-efficient Layer 2 chains with EVM compatibility. As a Layer 2 platform, DuckChain links to TON’s Layer 1 network while also providing the functionality to integrate assets from the Ethereum and 

DuckChain's Arbitrum Orbit–based foundation supports its platform’s high throughput and low transaction costs. Naturally, the use of the Arbitrum Orbit stack also ensures EVM compatibility. In fact, DuckChain is one of the first, if not the first, web3 solutions within the wider TON ecosystem that features direct compatibility with EVM. As of yet, TON’s underlying blockchain has no built-in compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, making DuckChain a pioneer in bridging these two major blockchain environments.

DuckChain is not only fully EVM-compatible — it’s also connected to Bitcoin, allowing assets from Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems to be utilized on the platform. Additionally, 

 — social tokens widely used on Telegram for monetization — can be tokenized on DuckChain for further use within its 

 (DApps). In the future, the platform also hopes to implement cross-chain interoperability with 

DuckChain’s network has also integrated several AI-supported functions. These include AI-driven governance, personalized AI assistants for token holders, AI analysts that assist users in navigating the 

 (DeFi) ecosystem and AI-driven cross-chain operations.

The DuckChain team has made AI integration a key focus for its platform. In January 2025, the project’s communications began frequently referring to DuckChain as the “Telegram AI Chain,” highlighting the importance of AI functionality for the platform's future direction and vision. DuckChain — or the Telegram AI Chain, if you will — is building up an impressive network of partner platforms to realize its AI vision. Among the key AI partner platforms are 

 (FLOCK). Each of these partners will support specific functions and use cases for DuckChain’s AI agents.

DuckChain’s Layer 2 network uses the underlying TON blockchain for finalized transaction settlement. Built using Arbitrum Orbit, it enjoys EVM compatibility, high scalability and low transaction costs. The chain’s architecture includes three primary layers — aggregation, execution and data.

DuckChain’s Aggregation Layer is a component of its blockchain’s architecture, serving as a bridge between DuckChain and TON’s Layer 1 network. It’s made up of three elements: 

The Execution Layer is DuckChain's main processing engine, powered by Arbitrum Orbit technology. In addition to transaction processing, this layer is also responsible for keeping DuckChain synchronized with the Telegram environment.

DuckChain's Execution Layer can handle around 5,000 

 (TPS) thanks to Arbitrum Orbit technology, which facilitates the processing of high volumes of transactions in a scalable and cost-efficient way.

The third component of DuckChain’s architecture, the Data Layer, ensures that all transaction data is securely stored and accessible for verification. DuckChain’s platform uses a distributed mode for its data storage. The Data Layer allows Layer 1 validators to access and securely verify transaction data from the DuckChain Layer 2 network.

DuckChain’s close integration with Telegram creates access to on-chain opportunities for the messenger's nearly 1 billion active users. Telegram users can generate a DuckChain account in a streamlined way, without the usual procedures involved in setting up a blockchain network address. Thanks to DuckChain's integration with the core Telegram app, tedious procedures, such as 

Its blockchain also provides a mechanism to deposit Telegram Stars 

social tokens widely used on the messenger to pay for digital goods 

 and convert them into native crypto assets for DeFi purposes, such as gas payments, 

DuckChain also features a unique unified 

. Besides enabling Telegram Stars for gas payments, its system also lets users pay transaction fees on the network using The Open Network's native TON coin and tokens from compatible EVM chains.

TON coin is among the top twenty crypto assets on the market (as of Feb 10, 2025) by market cap, and features high liquidity levels. Gas payments in TON and popular EVM tokens provide the DuckChain network with sufficient levels of liquidity for transactions at all times.

The Layer 2 chain is a unique platform, offering 

 via DuckChain bridges for three large ecosystems 

 Ethereum, Bitcoin and TON. This cross-chain functionality is of particular note for two reasons. First, it creates opportunities for using DApps among holders of BTC, the world's most-capitalized cryptocurrency. And secondly, it provides a common platform for assets from two large ecosystems — TON and Ethereum — that aren’t natively compatible.

DuckChain's AI module supports several features powered by 

, a technology that’s currently experiencing explosive growth, including in the world of web3. One of these features is AI Governance DAO, powered by the Quack AI protocol. It supports members of the platform's governance DAO by assigning them personalized AI agents that assist the DAO members in analyzing proposals, suggesting new ideas and carrying out other governance processes.

In Q1 2025, the DuckChain project aims to introduce personalized AI agents for all holders of the platform's native token, DUCK. In addition to governance power, these agents will provide their owners with services such as blockchain education, guidance on user procedures and financial analytics.

DuckChain also integrates AI agents for cross-chain interoperability processes and the analysis of DeFi opportunities.

The platform’s native cryptocurrency, DUCK, had its token generation event (TGE) in mid-January 2025. DUCK runs on multiple chains — T

— and its utility functions include the following:

DUCK is currently priced at $0.0032 (as of Feb 11, 2025), and has a total and maximum supply of 10 billion. Its current circulation is 5.9 billion. Supply allocation shares are per the chart below.

In January 2025, DuckChain announced its first 

 campaign, with eligibility criteria determined on Jan 7, 2025. The airdrop was designed to reward two groups of early adopters: 

The airdrop allocation criteria included various factors, such as using on-chain Telegram Stars, the number of friends invited to the platform, using testnet 

 (NFTs), staking earnings, accumulating loyalty points and participating in the asset bridging event.

 as a Perpetual contract with USDT. Under the contract, you can trade DUCK with up to 50x leverage.

The DuckChain project is unique in several ways. First, it’s one of the first Layer 2 platforms for The Open Network — often referred to as TON. It also connects the ecosystems of three major blockchain environments — TON, Ethereum and Bitcoin — thus allowing holders of TON, BTC and Ethereum-compatible tokens to utilize them within DuckChain’s DApps. Very few (if any) web3 projects operating in the industry provide this kind of diversified connectivity.

At the same time, the most crucial feature of DuckChain is undoubtedly its integration with Telegram. The use of Telegram Stars within the platform is a unique feature that should act as a major driver for crypto adoption by the messenger's extensive user community. DuckChain isn't the first blockchain project to leverage Telegram, but it does represent the first major web3 initiative to provide easy monetization of Telegram Stars 

 the primary digital currency of the Telegram social network — within the world of 

If you've stocked up on some Telegram Stars, and are thinking of crypto-related opportunities, DuckChain might be an intriguing platform for you to peruse.

Joining the livestream on Nov 14, 2024 were three distinguished guests: Livio Scalet, Bybit VIP; Tradealot, Bybit VIP; and Maxim Orlov, VIP Team Lead at Bybit. Under the moderation of Sabrina Chua, Crypto Evangelist and SEO Editor at Bybit, this episode explores the success stories of our existing VIP traders, the 

 the Bybit VIP Program offers and the way you can become the next 

What's Your Trader Type? Understanding VIP Profiles and Characteristics

Bybit’s VIP program caters to a diverse group of traders, each leveraging their unique strengths and approaches. Maxim, the VIP Team Lead at Bybit, highlights its broad membership, ranging from altcoin enthusiasts and spot traders to long-term investors who prefer to buy and hold.

VIP traders like Livio and Tradealot each adopt distinctive trading strategies tailored to their skills and market conditions. Livio, for example, employs meticulous 

 to refine his strategies, relying on defined entry and exit points and indicator setups. He emphasizes the importance of understanding past market behaviors to anticipate future trends. On the tools front, Livio frequently utilizes Bybit’s 

 and bot strategies to enhance trade precision and efficiency, advocating for copy trading as a beneficial tool for novices to emulate the moves of experienced traders.

Tradealot, on the other hand, focuses on price action rather than traditional indicators. In typical market conditions, he might execute 500 to 600 trades per day, a number that can surge into the thousands when the market heats up. His approach is honed for short-term trading, recognizing that his strength lies in quick, voluminous trading facilitated by Bybit’s reduced fees for VIPs.

 is a critical theme for both traders. Livio approaches trading with a calculated view of risk, opting to increase his trade volume when his strategies show a high success rate. Meanwhile, Tradealot emphasizes the importance of understanding his own trading limitations, especially in volatile markets where poor leverage choices can lead to significant losses.

Community engagement also plays a pivotal role in both traders’ strategies. Each one values the insights and feedback from the Bybit VIP community, which they use as a sounding board to refine their approaches and check their strategies.

Personal trading histories further illustrate their journeys and learning curves. Livio’s turning point came at age 18 after a significant loss that steered him toward mastering risk management and technical analysis. Tradealot’s story began with a modest $600 and a series of early losses that underscored the importance of disciplined trading and risk management.

 not only offers lower trading fees and exclusive events but also fosters a learning environment in which traders can grow and optimize their strategies, drawing on community support and advanced trading tools. Both Livio and Tradealot emphasize the utility of starting with

Attaining Bybit VIP status offers a wealth of benefits, tailored to enhance the trading experience significantly. Maxim explains that eligibility for VIP status is determined either by maintaining a minimum account balance of $100,000, or achieving a requisite trade volume. Once VIP status is attained, you gain access to exclusive perks, including dedicated relationship managers available across all time zones, ensuring prompt support whenever needed. Additionally, VIPs enjoy lower transaction fees, enhanced trading features and more lucrative cashback bonuses with the 

The VIP Program also facilitates unique networking opportunities, organizing live events globally for members to connect with peers and industry experts. For those looking to maximize their returns, Bybit offers 

, which are particularly beneficial for VIP members through enhanced terms on investments. 

Livio, though less experienced with Structured Products, is keen to integrate them into his trading strategy. He recognizes the potential these products hold, and plans to explore them further to optimize his investment approach. On the other hand, Tradealot has embraced the use of Bybit's VIP trading bots extensively, leveraging them alongside higher APYs offered through

, which interfaces seamlessly with several applications he regularly uses.

Tradealot and Livio both share insights on their personal motivations for choosing the Bybit VIP program. Livio cites the lower fees as a crucial factor, enabling him to capitalize profitably on smaller market movements. Tradealot, previously a Binance user, switched to Bybit for its superior platform stability, better fees and higher liquidity, especially under volatile market conditions.

Maxim emphasizes that the journey within the VIP program is progressive, and as members ascend through different VIP levels, they unlock further benefits including higher APYs, exclusive gifts, specialized workshops and access to special events — all coupled with progressively lower fee rates. This tiered system incentivizes and rewards active and high-volume traders, aligning with their evolving trading needs and contributions to the platform.

Unlock the VIP Gateway: How to Join the Elite

Becoming a VIP trader on Bybit is straightforward. It offers two primary pathways: newcomers can opt for a 20-day free trial to experience VIP benefits, and existing VIPs from other platforms can qualify immediately by providing a screenshot of their trading volume or asset balance. For those not meeting these criteria, funding a Bybit account with $100,000 also grants VIP status.

Once established as VIPs, traders such as Livio notice significant changes in their trading approach. For Livio, the ability to capitalize on smaller price movements has become a key advantage, along with access to an engaging trading community, while Tradealot embraces the use of advanced trading bots.

A day in the life of a VIP trader varies, and Livio and Tradealot reflect on their personal routines and trading styles. Livio starts his day gathering information to strategize his morning trades, followed by actual trading in the afternoon. In contrast, Tradealot combines lifestyle activities, such as going to the gym or hiking, with his trading routine. He stays updated with both crypto and global news, ready to trade intensively during volatile market periods.

The VIP Program also includes exclusive trading competitions, as Maxim explains. These competitions not only provide an exciting challenge, but also offer substantial rewards. Winners can expect lavish prizes — such as a gold ring adorned with diamonds during the latest 

 — enhancing the allure of participating in these high-stakes events.

This Learn 101 livestream session offers a comprehensive overview of the Bybit VIP Program, shedding light on the exclusive benefits and features accessible to VIP traders. As a member of the Bybit VIP community, you can enjoy an array of perks, including enhanced features, reduced rates and other advantages designed to elevate your trading experience and maximize your profits.
