Resistance Dog (REDO) – A Tribute to Telegram and Pavel Durov’s Fight Against Online Censorship
Resistance Dog was launched on January 9, 2024, by an anonymous developer. The project references the stance of Telegram and TON blockchain’s founder Pavel Durov on online censorship. Its primary brand item is a cartoon image of a dog in a hood – Resistance Dog – and the symbol of digital resistance.
Like other meme coins, REDO thrives on community activities and marketing strategies powered by group efforts and regular contributions by social media KOLs. The REDO community hopes to create a community united by the idea of digital resistance and focused on empowering a group of people who believe in the possibility of a balanced society and the internet as a level playground.
In their own words,
“$REDO has created a holistic community - one that unapologetically voices its opinions while borrowing from Pavel Durov’s vision to overthrow the regime, with the help of memes. $REDO is intended to prove that decentralization, memes, and decensorship can propel a community on TON – THE OPEN NETWORK to reach new heights, similar to flagship tokens on other blockchains.”
The total supply of REDO is 100 million; the project kicked off via a fair launch and is run by the REDO community. REDO can be traded on decentralized exchanges on TON (STON.fi and Dedust) it is also listed on centralized exchanges like Lbank and CoinEX.
