Per El-Baz, this signals “the arrival of a thriving and prosperous period for the ecosystem.”
El-Baz also told Cointelegraph that TON offered Catizen and other projects something no other platform could: its 900 million-strong user base.
According to El-Baz:
<blockquote>
 “With this user pool, it solves one of the biggest issues that all Web3 builders face and find so hard to overcome: user acquisition.”
