30s Summary
Web3 infrastructure platform Ankr has partnered with The Open Network (TON) blockchain to simplify the development of decentralized apps (DApps) for Telegram’s user base of 950 million. Ankr will manage node reduction on TON, saving developers time. The integration provides developers with connections for remote procedure calls (RPCs), facilitating transactions, wallet balances checks, and ownership details. TON also recently selected Axelar’s Mobius Development Stack to connect with 68 other networks, negating the need for bridging solutions. Bitget and Foresight Ventures invested $30m in TON to expedite the development of TON-based apps.

Ankr, a platform for Web3 infrastructure, has teamed up with The Open Network (TON) blockchain. This collaboration aims to help developers create decentralized apps (DApps) for Telegram users. Ankr’s API services will simplify the development process by eliminating nodes on TON, meaning developers can save hours usually spent on building, tuning, and fixing issues.
Telegram is a popular platform, with around 950 million users. Some of its currently popular DApps were developed on TON. These include Telegram Mini Apps like Hamster Kombat, a hold-and-earn game that racked up over 300 million players in just a few months. These Mini Apps use TON’s blockchain technology and can be used directly within the Telegram app.
By integrating with Ankr, developers are provided with remote procedure calls (RPCs) connections. These let the developers work directly with the TON network to do things like handle transactions, check wallet balances, and get ownership details.
Ankr’s CEO, Chandler Song, expressed excitement about the potential of new functionalities thanks to this integration. TON blockchain also offers RPC services that let developers directly interact with the network to build DApps on Telegram. Ankr’s integration further simplifies this process by handling node management complexities.
The Open Network Foundation, which heads the TON blockchain, recently opted for Axelar’s Mobius Development Stack (MDS) to link its ecosystem with 68 other networks. This allows developers to create DApps on multiple blockchains, eliminating the need for bridging solutions.
In September, the TON blockchain got a $30 million investment from crypto exchange Bitget and Foresight Ventures. The aim of this funding is to speed up the development of TON-based apps, particularly games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin.
