You Won’t Believe What Telegram Did to Its Crypto Ecosystem 😱

by

In a move that has the crypto world buzzing like a swarm of angry bees, Telegram has decided to make TON Blockchain the sole and exclusive infrastructure for its entire ecosystem. 🤯

This decision, which has been described as a “significant shift” in Telegram’s blockchain strategy, is a clear sign that the messaging giant is doubling down on its relationship with the TON Foundation. 🤝

Telegram Reveals TON Blockchain Exclusivity

According to the announcement, all Mini Apps and games on Telegram that incorporate cryptocurrency functionalities must migrate to the TON blockchain. 🔀 And if they don’t do it by February 21, 2025, well, they’re out of luck! 🚫

“All mini-apps on Telegram will now exclusively use TON as their blockchain infrastructure. All mini-apps that do not currently use TON should migrate by February 21, 2025. So let’s get on with it,” TON articulated on X. 🤖

But wait, there’s more! 🤯 TON Connect is now the exclusive wallet integration protocol for all Telegram Mini Apps, except in bridging scenarios. 🔒

This move is a far cry from Telegram’s initial separation from the TON project, which faced regulatory challenges and was handed over to independent developers in 2020. 🤷‍♂️

But now, it seems like Telegram and TON are back in bed together, and they’re not afraid to show it. 🤫 The partnership will enable tokenization, payouts, and Mini App integrations, as well as the minting of tradable NFTs as in-app stickers. 🎨
