✦ Chapter 01 / The origin
From a sticker pack to a whole movement.
$BUDDY started where every great thing on Telegram starts: passed between friends in late-night chats, a tiny animated bear reacting to alpha, copium, and the occasional liquidation. He became the most-spammed sticker in the group. Then in another group. Then everywhere.
The frens decided he deserved more than a tap-to-send life. So we put him on chain, on TON, and turned a beloved meme into something the community actually owns. No VCs, no promises of utility you wouldn't use, no roadmap written by someone wearing a Patagonia vest.
Just Buddy. And his frens. That's the whole pitch.
