Web3 infrastructure provider Ankr has announced its integration with The Open Network (TON) blockchain, a move set to empower developers by offering seamless access to Telegram’s vast community of over 950 million users. The partnership aims to simplify and enhance the process of building decentralized applications (dApps) on the TON blockchain. $ANKR

Through this integration, Ankr’s API service will allow developers to build on TON without the need to deploy or maintain their own nodes. This streamlined approach provides instant access to on-chain data, enabling faster and more efficient development of dApps, mini-apps, and games on the platform.

The TON blockchain, while independently managed from Telegram, maintains close ties to the messaging app, which has become a hub for crypto enthusiasts. The rapid growth of mini-apps and games deployed within Telegram is evidence of the platform’s evolving ecosystem.

“Working with Ankr highlights our commitment to providing developers with the tools they need to build rapidly on TON and leverage Telegram’s global reach,” said Anthony Tsivarev, Director of Ecosystem Development at TON Foundation. This collaboration underscores both companies’ dedication to enhancing the developer experience on TON and expanding its ecosystem. $TON

Since Telegram launched its native crypto wallet a year ago, the TON blockchain ecosystem has exploded. According to TonStat, nearly 23 million new wallets have been activated in the past year alone, and at one point earlier this month, TON had over 11 million monthly active addresses—putting it on par with Ethereum.

This surge in adoption positions TON as a major player in the Web3 space, offering developers and users alike a powerful platform that combines the strength of blockchain technology with the global reach of Telegram.
