povel durev durev

Povel Durev is a parody of Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram. The project's website writes about him in deliberately broken English, calling him "teh gratest enterpener in teh wurld" and "Telegrum CEO". It states the project's aim as making "bellions tons of memes bout him". The token's on-chain metadata carries the same joke. The site's disclaimer says DUREV has no association with Pavel Durov and calls it "simply a meme coin with no intrinsic value or expectation of financial return". The exchange-monitoring service BestChange also writes that Durov has no connection to the project and that independent, anonymous developers created it.

According to DYOR's blog, DUREV launched in April 2024. BestChange says the first tokens were sold in an initial sale run directly through a TON smart contract, and that the token was trading on exchanges by early May 2024. Trading started on the TON decentralised exchanges DeDust and STON.fi. The project's website links DUREV swaps there against Gram, the native coin of the TON network, and GeckoTerminal lists the STON.fi pool under this token's contract. In July 2024 DYOR's blog listed the centralised exchanges Gate, MEXC, BingX, Coinstore, EXMO and CoinEx. The project's website currently links Coinstore, CoinEx and Gate.

Durev Bot and Durev VPN are the project's two Telegram services, and both are listed in its Russian-language channel. Durev Bot (@DurevRobot) is a trading bot on TON. In July 2024 DYOR's blog reported that the bot had passed 20,000 users and was running trading challenges with partner TON projects. Durev VPN works through the bot @DureVpnBot. BestChange wrote in November 2024 that the service covers more than 25 countries and accepts crypto payments, DUREV among them.

The project released two NFT collections on the Getgems marketplace, "Povel Durev" and "Povel Durev #2", and links both from its official website. DYOR's blog wrote that both sold out within minutes. The first collection's description says that every holder of one of its NFTs can use Durev VPN for free. This ties the collectibles to the project's VPN service.

The roadmap on the project's website listed these items for 2024: the token launch, NFT collections, "push ups", exchange listings, Durev Bot and Durev VPN. Most of them have since appeared. For 2025 it names VPN expansion, deflationary tokenomics and a meme launchpad "if there will be market for pad". The 2026 entry reads "Pray about soft crypto winter". The website still marks the TON launchpad as "(soon)", and BestChange noted in November 2024 that it had no launch date. The stated final goal is a joke in keeping with the meme: to buy Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and WeChat and give them to Durov.
