Nearly 10 million subscribers follow a single Telegram handle — @developer — belonging to a person who goes by Roxman, and the content explains why that number keeps climbing. This is not a news aggregator or a tech publication. It is the personal feed of someone genuinely embedded in the Telegram ecosystem at a product level, and that insider position is what gives the channel its unusual weight.
Roxman is the kind of figure who announces a decentralized confidential compute network called Cocoon going live, then two days later posts a casual note about working alongside Telegram and Khabib Nurmagomedov, then disappears for a month to visit 15 countries. The range is jarring at first, but it reflects a real person rather than a content strategy. Posts arrive infrequently — sometimes weeks apart — which means the channel never feels like a content mill, but also means followers can go long stretches without anything to read.
The projects discussed here are substantial. Major, a Telegram-native ecosystem built around NFTs, staking, and token mechanics, racked up 888-plus NFT floor price boosts and burned over 2.3 million tokens in a single year. Portals, a Telegram Gifts marketplace that Roxman helped build before stepping away in early 2026, processed 70 million TON in turnover and reached 4 million active users. Word, a language-learning mini-app inside Telegram, gets quieter praise but is positioned as a more purposeful, retention-focused product. These are not vaporware announcements — they are operational products with measurable numbers, and Roxman shares those numbers directly.
The travel content is woven in naturally rather than treated as a separate lifestyle brand. Courchevel in January, Saudi Arabia for the Supercopa, Japan multiple times in a single year, Norway as the 15th country in one October alone. The writing is personal and occasionally charming — "when reality exceeds expectations, that's the winter for me" — though it can veer into motivational-poster territory.
What works well here is the authenticity. Roxman announces his departure from Portals with genuine warmth and no drama, shares year-end project metrics without spin, and admits when travel gets exhausting. What the channel lacks is consistency and depth. There are no threads, no tutorials, no structured analysis — just dispatches from someone moving fast across multiple projects and continents. If you are looking for educational content about Telegram development or TON ecosystem mechanics, you will not find it here.
The audience this suits best is anyone tracking the Telegram mini-app economy from the inside — founders, TON investors, or people curious about what building inside a closed messaging ecosystem actually looks like at scale. For casual readers, the posting cadence may feel too sparse to justify a follow. But for those watching where Telegram's product layer is heading, @developer remains one of the more credible primary sources available.
