Telegram has officially launched its built-in TON wallet for all users in the U.S., marking a significant step towards crypto integration in everyday life.
What Is the TON Blockchain?
TON (The Open Network) is a decentralized layer-1 blockchain originally developed by Telegram and subsequently handed over to the community. It supports ultra-fast transactions, low fees, and scalable smart contracts, making it well-suited for global app integration.
How Does the TON Wallet Work?
The integrated Telegram wallet allows users to:
1. Send and receive TON directly in chats 2. Store and manage TON tokens securely within the app 3. Access the wallet via the “Wallet” section in the Telegram menu
Transactions are designed to be instant and user-friendly, suitable for users with varying levels of crypto understanding.
What to Expect in the Future?
Telegram plans to introduce new features like TON staking, mini-apps, and airdrops. There is potential for expanding wallet availability to European and Asian markets, which is expected to attract developer interest.
The integration of the TON wallet in Telegram could redefine how users interact with digital assets and contribute to mainstream crypto adoption.
