Revolution On Telegram: Toncoin Becomes The Only Authorized Crypto!

Telegram and Toncoin are now one. The former messaging platform, previously open to several blockchains, has decided to dive headfirst into the world of Toncoin, which could significantly change the game for the crypto ecosystem. Here’s why Telegram made these radical decisions and what they reveal about the future of the market.

Telegram: the blockchain ultimatum

Telegram didn’t do things by halves. The messaging giant announced a total exclusivity with Toncoin, and this decision marks an important turning point. Gone are the days when Telegram mini-apps operated on multiple blockchains, from Sui to Solana. Now, only TON, Telegram’s blockchain infrastructure, will reign supreme.

The reason? Telegram wants to offer a unified crypto experience and, more concretely, to increasingly control the financial flow within its ecosystem. The TON foundation’s network, whose growth is accelerating, becomes the cornerstone of Telegram’s services.

This evolution doesn’t stop at a simple technical change. Telegram will use Toncoin as the exclusive currency for all its non-fiat transactions: premium subscriptions, service purchases, advertisements, and even payments for mini-app developers.

In other words, if you want to pay for your Telegram Stars or enjoy Telegram Premium, you will only have Toncoin for the checkout.

“The future is now,” claims the TON team.

Toncoin is now the only token accepted for:

• Telegram Premium subscriptions;
• Telegram Stars and advertising;
• Transactions via Telegram Gateway

This exclusive alliance aims to strengthen TON’s presence in the global market and to make Toncoin a key player in digital payments.

Crypto applications: the new frontier for Telegram

The new direction of Telegram is not only about payments. The Mini Apps, those small features integrated into the messaging app, will also fall under the control of TON.

Telegram is implementing TON Connect as the exclusive protocol to connect these mini-apps to crypto wallets. No more integrating other blockchains like Solana or Aptos; it’s all about TON now. For developers, it’s a strategic choice: those who wish to integrate blockchain features will have to adopt Toncoin and TON technology.

But that’s not all: Telegram is starting to consider tokenization of digital assets within its ecosystem. Emojis, stickers, and even digital gifts will now be exclusively created on TON. A subtle but effective way to reinforce the use of Toncoin while monopolizing users’ attention.

One of the main architects of this strategic shift, Manuel Stotz, president of the TON Foundation, sees this decision as a springboard for the future. According to him:

“Telegram is an essential platform for the global blockchain community, and Toncoin is now its exclusive engine.”

Telegram, with its 700 million users, represents an incomparable distribution vector.

Finally, let’s remember that last November, Telegram, in search of an explosive rebound for Toncoin, launched the Telegram Growth Hub program. The goal: to attract innovative projects to strengthen the The Open Network ecosystem.
