The Telegram app itself kept functioning normally through direct connections, but any link routed through the t.me domain returned browser errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founder Pavel Durov acknowledged the outage publicly, asking the domain&#8217;s registrar to look into the issue, though no official explanation had been given as of Monday. The disruption landed at an inconvenient moment for the crypto industry, where Telegram remains the primary hub for token launches, trading groups, and project announcements. With invite links broken, onboarding for new community members slowed and project teams struggled to share updates through their usual channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing added a layer of caution to an already jittery market: Bitcoin and Ether were trading under pressure as investors weighed renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities, with <strong>BTC<\/strong> hovering near <strong>$62,500<\/strong> after swinging between <strong>$61,800<\/strong> and <strong>$63,200<\/strong> since the previous session. While the domain outage carries no direct link to price action, it compounded a day already defined by geopolitical headlines and thinner-than-usual risk appetite across digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Telegram-based ecosystems built around Mini Apps and TON have grown to depend heavily on t.me links for distribution \u2014 from airdrop campaigns to DEX-linked bots \u2014 meaning even a temporary domain-level fault can ripple through community engagement metrics for hours. As of Monday evening, the app-based experience remained unaffected, but project teams that rely on web-based invite flows were left waiting for the registrar to restore resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telegram&#8217;s short domain, t.me, dropped out of the global DNS on Monday after entering serverHold status, breaking channel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-last-news"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=480"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":482,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480\/revisions\/482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
