With over 950 million active users*, Telegram has evolved into a hub for onchain activities offering developers access to a fast growing audience. Telegram represents a goldmine for developers looking to scale their dApps to an engaged user base via Telegram mini apps.
This combination of seamless interaction and access to a large audience makes Telegram a serious new growth opportunity for onchain projects. Hamster Kombat, Catizen, Yescoin, Notcoin, and Dogs, to name a few, have captured the imagination of tens of millions of people, some of them operating on-chain for the very first time.

Beyond TON: The Multi-chain Future of the Telegram On-chain Ecosystem
While The the Open Network (TON) is at the core of Telegram’s blockchain integration, it’s not the only player. Telegram is embracing a multi-ecosystem future. Users are exploring dApps interaction with assets on various chains, such as CodexField Wallet on BNB Chain, Alpha Dex on Solana and Hot wallet on NEAR. With TON already integrated and more chains now offering support for Mini Apps, the Telegram ecosystem is quickly becoming a hotspot for blockchain-based services. Developers who aren’t yet leveraging Telegram risk missing out on one of the most active and scalable ecosystems in the blockchain space. The ability to onboard millions of users quickly and seamlessly makes Telegram an indispensable platform for developers.
