Telegram and Toncoin, both are now one. The former messaging platform, Telegram, was previously open to several blockchains. This could significantly change the game for the cryptosystem. Here is why Telegram made these decisions and what they reveal about the market's future.
Telegram didn't do incomplete things. This messaging platform announced a total exclusivity with Toncoin, which made this decision an important turning point. The days are gone when Telegram mini-apps are operated on multiple blockchains. Now, only TON will be the best.
What is the reason? Telegram wants to provide a unified crypto experience and increase control of the financial flow within its ecosystem. The network of TON foundations whose growth is accelerating has now become the cornerstone of Telegram's services.
But this evolution does not stop at a simple technical change. Telegram will now use Toncoin as the exclusive currency for all its non-fiat transactions like premium subscriptions, service purchases, advertisements, and payments for mini-app developers. In other words, if you want to pay to enjoy your Telegram premium, you will only have Toncoin for the checkout. The TON team claims."The future is now."
Toncoin is now only accepted for Telegram features:
These all-in-one exclusives aim to strengthen TON's presence in Telegram to make Toncoin a key player in digital payments.
Now, the new direction of Telegram is not just about payments, the Mini Apps with small features integrated into the messaging app may also fall under the control of TON.
Telegram has started implementing TON Connect as the exclusive protocol by connecting these mini-apps to crypto wallets. Since it's all about TON now, there will be no more integrating other blockchains like Solana or Aptos. For developers, it is a strategic choice. Those who wish to integrate blockchain features will have to adopt Toncoin and TON technology.
But that is not all. Telegram has started to consider the tokenization of digital assets within its ecosystem. Stickers, emojis, and even digital gifts will now be exclusively created on TON. It will be an effective way to reinforce the use of Toncoin while monopolizing users attention.
President of the TON Foundation, Manuel Stotz is one of the main architects of this strategic shift. According to him: Telegram is an essential platform for the blockchain community, and Toncoin is now its exclusive engine. With 700 million users in Telegram will represent an incomparable distribution vector.
Finally, remember that last November, Telegram, was in search of an explosive rebound for Toncoin and launched the Telegram Growth Hub program. The goal was to attract innovative projects to strengthen the open network ecosystem.
