It used to be the TON Blockchain, but that got shut down. If you're not familiar, Telegram is the pet project of Pavel Durov, the founder and ex-CEO of VK, which is essentially the Russian version of Facebook.

But mark zuckerberg is also really successful and I still don't want him control my communication.
