The Lore
Pavel Durov — Telegram Founder
In 2024, Pavel Durov dropped something nobody expected. The Telegram founder revealed he had over 100 biological children — spread across 12 countries — all through anonymous sperm donation he did 15 years ago.
A close friend couldn't have kids. A fertility clinic said healthy donor material was running low. Durov agreed to help. The clinic convinced him to keep going.
"This sounded crazy enough to get me to sign up for sperm donation."
Fast forward to 2024: over a hundred couples across 12 countries had children carrying his DNA. At least one IVF clinic still had his frozen material available. He announced plans to open-source his DNA so biological children could find each other.
He tokenized the moment on Telegram. $PD was born.
