Just a week after the leadership change (https://t.me/trendingapps/595) at TON Foundation, the first major updates have started to roll out. The team announced (https://blog.ton.org/ton-telegram-exclusive-partnership-2025) an expanded partnership with Telegram, establishing TON as the exclusive blockchain infrastructure powering Telegram Mini Apps.
How is TON Connect making Telegram’s on-chain experience seamless
At the heart of this collaboration is adopting TON’s wallet connect protocol, TON Connect, as the exclusive solution for linking Telegram Mini Apps to blockchain wallets. This initiative streamlines the user experience, enabling all applications to utilize TON for connecting and authorizing blockchain transactions.
What opportunities await developers with TON migration
Mini Apps that are not yet integrated with TON are encouraged to start the migration process to ensure a smooth transition and avoid service interruptions for users.
Developers who complete the migration within Telegram's deadline will receive additional benefits from TON Foundation, including promotional support and the opportunity to apply for Ad Credit grants of up to $50,000 to accelerate growth within TON Ecosystem.
This is an important leap forward for both TON and Telegram, paving the way for seamless integration of blockchain technology into everyday applications. More groundbreaking updates are on the way — stay tuned!
