1 min. readIn 2024, Telegram's blockchain platform, The Open Network (TON), experienced significant growth, largely driven by the adoption of Telegram Mini Apps like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat. Data from DefiLlama shows that the total value locked in TON projects surged over 2,000% since January, reaching $307.6 million. Telegram Mini Apps have played a crucial role in promoting blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, attracting potential new users. These web applications run within Telegram, offering developers a platform to create apps using popular web programming languages. The integration of the TON blockchain into these apps in 2024 further accelerated their adoption. Despite facing challenges like a decline in total value locked and the detention of Telegram CEO Durov, the TON ecosystem remains operational and resilient. The future looks promising for Telegram and TON, with ongoing developments and innovations strengthening their position in the market.
