Building a Web3 ecosystem in Telegram with Toncoin
On September 13, at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, TON Foundation and Telegram started working together to put crypto in every pocket. The heart of this collaboration is the deep integration and promotion of a TON-based Web3 ecosystem in Telegram.
TON Space
TON Space, the self-custodial version of @wallet, was launched. It is now accessible directly from the Telegram menu for existing @wallet users. Starting in November, it will become the default for all Telegram users, outside of the United States.
Bridging Web2 and Web3
Historically, crypto appealed primarily to a tech-savvy audience. TON seeks to change this, creating a bridge between Web2 and Web3. By building a Web3 ecosystem in Telegram, TON is making it convenient for millions to own their digital identity and assets. Meeting users where they are, instead of building complicated Web3 experiences the masses will never use.
Web3 SuperApp
Combining the TON Ecosystem with Telegram creates the first decentralized and global SuperApp. Telegram provides the user experience layer with Mini Apps. TON brings the Web3 projects and backend to manage and simplify digital transactions on a massive scale.
500 million active user vision
Being among the fastest-growing mobile apps globally, Telegram is on track to reach 1.5 billion users a month in the next five years. TON Community’s vision is to onboard 30% of these users to TON by 2028, adding 500 million users to Web3. 33x the current 15 million active web3 users.
The Internet of Ownership
The vision is to reshape digital ownership, interaction and transactions globally using Telegram Mini Apps and TON Blockchain. This platform represents a new decentralized digital nation, with its own citizens, economy and digital rights.
With the synergy of Telegram's massive user base and TON's unique approach to Web3, the future in which Web3 is an everyday reality for billions is fast approaching.
