Before the AI bubble, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies were on everyone's lips. Telegram is about to take a significant step forward. During the recent conference TOKEN2049, a collaboration between the TON Foundation and Pavel Durov's social network was announced. The result of this partnership is something revolutionary: every Telegram user will have direct access to a crypto wallet, known as TON Wallet, based on the TON blockchain platform. But what does it mean? And what is Ton Wallet?
Telegram ushers in a new level of accessibility and security
Telegram has already shown a strong interest in the world of cryptocurrencies. Last year, the platform introduced a feature that allowed its users to buy and sell Telegram usernames and identifiers through Fragment, an auction platform based on TON. This move generated incredible success, with Telegram digital asset sales totaling $120 million.
Now, with the integration of the TON Wallet as mini-app within the Telegram app, the platform is raising the bar for accessibility and security. The TON Wallet will be a custodial solution, which means it will guarantee transactions snapshots e safe, making the user experience smoother and more secure.
New opportunities with Telegram wallet
This new feature is not just a step forward in facilitating cryptocurrency transactions. It also opens the door to a wide range of new services and opportunities. For example, users will be able to buy anonymous numbers for registration on Telegram without the need for a SIM card, a feature that could be particularly useful for those concerned about their online privacy.
Additionally, the TON Wallet will be available to all users starting November this year, which means you won't have to wait long to experience these new features. In short: the implications of this move could be much broader than one might initially imagine.
