Telegram’s 900 million-user chat app is morphing into a full-blown Web3 operating system. With the Toncoin blockchain under the hood, mini-apps can onboard users in seconds—no seed phrase or gas fee required. Viral examples tell the story: Notcoin turned a tap-to-earn arcade into multi-billion-dollar volume; Hamster Kombat gamified crypto education for millions; and now DeFi dashboards, NFT galleries and prediction markets are rolling out inside chat threads.
Toncoin itself rallies each time a flagship mini-app airdrops tokens or announces staking incentives. Developers cite Telegram’s distribution edge—built-in virality and frictionless payments—as unbeatable compared with launching a browser dApp and begging for wallet installs.
An effective long-read could profile three mini-apps, dissect their tokenomics, and compare TON’s throughput to Solana’s or Base’s. Emphasize how account-abstraction wallets and subsidized gas make onboarding invisible, a UX playbook other ecosystems will study.
