TON Foundation has announced a significant advancement in the Web3 space as Mirana Ventures, a leading global investment firm and venture partner of Bybit and Mantle, joins forces with TON in a long-term collaboration. This partnership kicks off with an impressive $8 million acquisition of Toncoin, underscoring Mirana Ventures’ trust in the future of Telegram’s TON-based Web3 ecosystem.

Key highlights:

Bybit, Mirana Ventures' partner exchange, will gain access to Telegram's Ads platform as a testing partner. This opens up new avenues for community engagement and growth on Telegram, which boasts 1 trillion monthly views, presenting substantial upside potential.

The integration of TON-based $MNT tokens into TON Space, the self-custodial version of @Wallet, connects Telegram’s 800 million monthly active users with Mantle Network.

The introduction of RFQ technology to @Wallet marks a significant improvement in transaction efficiency and price optimization. This trading mechanism will not only personalize trading experiences but also ensure large transactions are completed without negatively impacting market prices, thus enhancing the TON Ecosystem's security and stability.

Over time, the collaboration between TON Foundation and Mirana Ventures is poised to transform the Web3 landscape. By leveraging Telegram's platform, TON is set to put crypto and Web3 in every pocket, giving billions the opportunity to own their digital identity, data, and assets.

2024-02-29 14:30:03 ​Telegram to exclusively use TON for ad payments

As part of the #TONxTelegram initiative, Telegram has announced that starting in March, Telegram broadcast channels in around 100 countries will be receiving payouts in Toncoin (TON). This development further integrates TON Blockchain into Telegram, marking another significant step towards putting crypto in every pocket. Read more here.

Why this matters
This move is not just transforming how digital advertising and monetization work on a global scale. It’s about bringing blockchain technology to a mainstream platform with over 800 million monthly active users. Channel owners and creators can now monetize their content through a global, decentralized currency that supports peer-to-peer transactions via @Wallet right within Telegram.

This initiative signifies not only a substantial revenue stream for Telegram and Telegram creators but also an entirely new utility for cryptocurrency and Toncoin. As with everything they do, Telegram wanted to do advertising differently, characterized by transparency and respecting user privacy. With payouts in Toncoin, Telegram Channel owners will learn about TON’s Web3 ecosystem and can use the payouts for promotion and upgrading their channels.

Aside from Telegram Ads, an ecosystem of Web3 apps is already available to Telegram Channel creators:
@Wallet: Gives creators a way to hold, buy, sell, send and receive crypto peer-to-peer inside Telegram. With Wallet Pay, channel owners can build payment in crypto into their own Telegram Mini-apps.
@community_bot: Gives creators an in-telegram quest platform, where subscribers can do tasks and earn rewards.
@tribute: Gives creators another monetization method, with donations from subscribers or subscription-gated paid channels.

We're just scratching the surface of what's possible with TON Blockchain. This integration is a testament to our belief in a decentralized future where digital assets play a pivotal role in content creation and advertising.
