TREE NEWS update: Telegram has become a sponsor of Codeforces, the world’s largest competitive programming platform, founder Pavel Durov said in a post on his personal channel on September 12. Codeforces runs more than 100 contests a year and has 4 million registered participants. Durov said he has backed Codeforces through his own companies since 2010, and that Telegram will support founder Mike’s plans to grow the platform further this year.

AI take
Telegram formalizing a sponsorship of Codeforces is less about advertising than about talent and ecosystem positioning: Codeforces is a pipeline for competitive programmers, a demographic that overlaps heavily with crypto and TON development. The notable detail is that Durov frames this as a continuation of personal backing since 2010, suggesting the relationship predates Telegram's crypto ambitions. Whether the sponsorship translates into deeper technical or developer-incentive integration is the open question.
