Ah, the Open Network Foundation, a name that echoes through the corridors of digital ambition, has once again entwined its fate with that of Telegram, a platform that has become a veritable beehive of human interaction. On the fateful day of January 21, the two entities, like star-crossed lovers, declared that the TON blockchain shall now serve as the exclusive sanctuary for Telegram’s mini-apps. One can only wonder, what dark machinations led to this union?
In this burgeoning ecosystem, we find ourselves amidst a cavalcade of popular game projects, gallantly launching upon the Toncoin (TON)-powered blockchain. Games such as Hamster Kombat and Notcoin, which have captured the hearts and minds of the masses in 2024, stand as the shining beacons of this new digital age. Who knew that rodents could be so entertaining? 🐹
What does this mean?
With this expanded collaboration, TON has ascended to the lofty heights of being the very infrastructure for Telegram mini apps. Those poor souls still clinging to their non-TON apps must make the arduous transition to this new realm by February 21, 2025. Fear not, for those brave enough to migrate shall be graced with technical support, user onboarding that is as smooth as a well-oiled machine, and marketing assistance that would make even the most seasoned salesman weep with joy.
Moreover, the benevolent TON Foundation has unveiled grants of up to $50,000 in ad credits, a veritable treasure trove to aid in the migration efforts. One can only imagine the glee of developers as they receive such bountiful gifts! 🎁
This collaboration is poised to usher in a new era of TON adoption, reaching out to Telegram’s vast user base of 950 million monthly active users. To facilitate this grand endeavor, TON Connect shall become the exclusive wallet for mini apps, save for those rare instances involving bridging. A digital utopia, indeed!
Let us not forget the origins of the Open Network, which began its life as the Telegram Open Network in 2017, when Telegram raised a staggering $1.7 billion to forge a blockchain-based decentralized platform. Alas, the specter of regulatory challenges from the SEC loomed large, forcing Telegram to abandon the project in 2020. Yet, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a community of developers revived the initiative in 2021, launching the TON blockchain mainnet. By 2023, the partnership between Telegram and the TON Foundation blossomed, enabling Toncoin payments and setting the stage for a new chapter.
As the president of the TON Foundation, Manuel Stotz, proclaimed with a flourish, “After laying foundational groundwork over the last years, TON is now ready for explosive growth in 2025. The re-energized, deepened, and exclusive partnership with Telegram is an important step in our roadmap.” One can almost hear the trumpets blaring in celebration! 🎺
Growth initiatives abound, including the audacious plan to leverage the TON blockchain for asset tokenization, encompassing everything from emojis to stickers. Telegram, in its infinite wisdom, also plans to introduce tokenized gifts on the blockchain through NFTs. Truly, we live in a time where even our digital gifts can be tokenized! 🎉
