Dear Oyster Community,
First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank every community member who has supported Oyster. Your unwavering support and trust have always been our driving force. As the CEO, I personally read every private message on Oyster’s Twitter and attentively listen to the feedback shared in our Telegram groups. Your voices are incredibly important to us—they guide us as we grow and improve.
Since Oyster’s inception, our core value has always been putting our users first. However, as a young company, we’ve faced numerous challenges and made mistakes along the way. For this, I offer my sincere apologies and promise that we will continue to learn and improve. Thank you for your patience, support, and belief in our vision—together, we will make Oyster better than ever.
Regarding Logistics Issues
We understand that some users have had unpleasant experiences with delivery delays after purchasing the UBS phone. These delays stem primarily from our commitment to delivering high-quality products. Developing a high-quality UBS phone priced at just $129 is no easy task, and we strive to ensure every device reflects our pursuit of excellence. We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience throughout this process. At present, most orders have been shipped. For users encountering customs clearance or payment issues, we are actively working to resolve them. To make up for the wait, we will soon launch our Launchpad, introducing more airdrops for our users. I’m also thrilled to announce that the second-generation UBS phone has completed development and passed rigorous testing. These new devices will soon be rolled out to users. This generation of UBS phones is more secure and convenient, designed not only to safeguard users’ assets but also to provide a seamless experience. We hope it will bridge the gap for global Web2 users transitioning into the Web3 world, sparking a blockchain revolution.
On Airdrops and Ecosystem Development
We’ve heard the community’s anticipation for airdrops loud and clear. Apple has always been a role model for us, and the Oyster OS ecosystem has been in the works for a long time. Moving forward, we will gradually roll out partnered ecosystem applications, allowing every UBS phone user to reap the benefits of Oyster’s ecosystem growth.
Building a rich ecosystem is no easy feat, but we believe that with your unwavering support and dedication, we can achieve our goals and bring even greater value to the community. Once again, thank you to every member of the Oyster community. Your feedback and encouragement are our greatest motivation. Our goal is to make Oyster a transformative force in the Web3 world, creating genuine value for every user.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Oysterguard
CEO of Oyster

❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!
Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.
This was surprising for several reasons:
1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”.
2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.
3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a misguided approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.
Establishing the right balance between privacy and security is not easy. You have to reconcile privacy laws with law enforcement requirements, and local laws with EU laws. You have to take into account technological limitations. As a platform, you want your processes to be consistent globally, while also ensuring they are not abused in countries with weak rule of law. We’ve been committed to engaging with regulators to find the right balance. Yes, we stand by our principles: our experience is shaped by our mission to protect our users in authoritarian regimes. But we’ve always been open to dialogue.
Sometimes we can’t agree with a country’s regulator on the right balance between privacy and security. In those cases, we are ready to leave that country. We've done it many times. When Russia demanded we hand over “encryption keys” to enable surveillance, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Russia. When Iran demanded we block channels of peaceful protesters, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Iran. We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money. We are driven by the intention to bring good and defend the basic rights of people, particularly in places where these rights are violated.
All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve. But the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports (like this or this ). We have direct hotlines with NGOs to process urgent moderation requests faster.
However, we hear voices saying that it’s not enough. Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.
I hope that the events of August will result in making Telegram — and the social networking industry as a whole — safer and stronger. Thanks again for your love and memes 🙏
