Why Telegram’s TON-only strategy for Mini Apps could backfire
Telegram’s approach wasn’t unexpected, but many raised questions about the messenger’s pursuit of freedom and decentralization.
Telegram’s decision to limit its Mini App ecosystem to exclusively support The Open Network (TON) has triggered outrage within the community.
On Jan. 21, Telegram officially announced the TON Foundation as its exclusive blockchain partner, making TON the only supported network for Mini Apps and Toncoin (TON) the sole token for in-app purchases.
The move has sparked debate in the Web3 community, with some critics arguing Telegram’s TON-only strategy will hurt blockchain development and others pointing to TON’s limited liquidity and immature tech.
