🏆 Pavel Durov is rewarding the World’s Best AI Coders The 2026 International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) officially kicks off today, and Telegram founder Pavel Durov is celebrating the next generation of AI talent with something a little different. Instead of just medals, winners will receive one of 240 exclusive “Intelligence Cups”, a limited-edition digital collectible created specifically for the competition. To make the prize even more valuable, Durov says there’s a guaranteed minimum buyback price. Gold Cups, for example, can be sold back for at least $1,000, while the rarity of the collection means they could become even more valuable if demand grows on the secondary market. 🪙 TON News 🐳 Whale bot | 💰 Whale web
