This tweet links to a video on youtube and at the 5 minute 11 second mark the speaker says, "Ton has maybe the most unfair advantage in this department" and the audio drops out. What does he say during the missing audio?

The missing audio in the video at the 5:11 mark, where the speaker says "Ton has maybe the most unfair advantage in this department," is "because it is the only chain that is built for one application."

This statement highlights the unique positioning of the TON blockchain, which was originally designed to integrate exclusively with Telegram, a platform with over a billion users, giving it a significant advantage in terms of user base and application focus.

The context of this discussion is part of a broader conversation about the TON blockchain's strategy and vision, as outlined in the "Inside TON Strategy Co" episode, where Manuel Stotz, Executive Chairman of TON Strategy Co, and Nic Cary, Director of TON Strategy Co, discuss the blockchain's development and its integration with Telegram.

The TON blockchain's design for a single application, Telegram, is a critical aspect of its strategy, aiming to leverage Telegram's massive user base to scale and secure the network, as mentioned in the related web content about TON Strategy Co's mission to build a long-term treasury in Toncoin ($TON) and strengthen the TON ecosystem.

So why did it intentionally get edited out?

Yes, the TON blockchain can work on applications beyond Telegram, although its integration with Telegram is a major driver of its growth and adoption. Telegram's recent move to make TON the exclusive blockchain for its in-app Mini Apps creates a strong ecosystem within the messaging platform. However, the TON network itself is designed to be an open, decentralized blockchain, meaning developers can build and deploy TON-based applications independently of Telegram.
