According to Odaily Planet Daily, Monad co-founder Keone Hon posted on X that Telegram allows users to place ads on individual public channels, and that scammers have purchased ads on Monad's official announcement channel. This is shocking, as Telegram allows ads to be pushed directly into a channel that only allows a single account to post content. The team is working to have the platform remove the ads.

The only valid link to claim Monad is claim.monad.xyz. The airdrop portal will be open for three weeks. Please do not rush anything and double-check before taking any action.
