1 min. readTelegram's founder, Pavel Durov, has revealed plans to introduce blockchain technology to 'hundreds of millions of people' via the messaging app. The platform will launch a Mini Apps store and in-app browser with Web3 support, catering to the growing interest in Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs). These lightweight services, integrated with the TON blockchain, have seen over 500 million monthly users engaging in various activities like shopping and gaming. Despite the success of crypto-based games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, some remain skeptical about the sustainability of the tap-to-earn trend. Durov aims to make Telegram a hub for blockchain adoption, enhancing user security by implementing measures like displaying registration details and enabling third-party verification. While experts foresee a surge in Web3 adoption, concerns about potential phishing activities targeting crypto novices persist.
