The TON Story

TON 故事

Telegram initiated the development of its own Layer 1 chain in 2017, leading to the sale of "Gram tokens." However, legal challenges forced them to abandon the project in 2020. A decentralized developer team took over, and The Open Network has thrived.

Telegram 於 2017 年啟動了自己的 Layer 1 鏈的開發，導致了「Gram 代幣」的銷售。然而，法律挑戰迫使他們在 2020 年放棄了該專案。

In September 2022, TON's self-custodial wallet was integrated into Telegram, enabling direct crypto payments to businesses on the platform.

2022 年 9 月，TON 的自我託管錢包被整合到 Telegram 中，因此可以在平台上直接向企業進行加密支付。

Additionally, Telegram's Mini Apps allow for seamless transactions, potentially making it a Western equivalent to China's WeChat "super app."

此外，Telegram 的迷你應用程式允許無縫交易，有可能使其成為西方相當於中國微信的「超級應用程式」。

Insatiable Demand and Hamsters

永不滿足的需求和倉鼠

With 950 million monthly active users and plans for a billion, Telegram is well-positioned to introduce cryptocurrencies and Web3 to a vast audience.

Telegram 每月有 9.5 億活躍用戶，並計劃成長 10 億，處於有利地位，可以向廣大受眾介紹加密貨幣和 Web3。

The viral success of Hamster Kombat on Telegram, with over 250 million sign-ups, is a testament to the platform's potential for app proliferation.

Hamster Kombat 在 Telegram 上的病毒式成功，註冊人數超過 2.5 億，證明了該平台應用程式激增的潛力。

Furthermore, high-profile integrations from major crypto companies, such as USDT payments and Bitcoin price prediction games from OKX, reinforce Telegram's momentum.

此外，來自主要加密貨幣公司的高調整合，例如 OKX 的 USDT 支付和比特幣價格預測遊戲，增強了 Telegram 的勢頭。

Potential Concerns

潛在的擔憂

However, there are concerns about Telegram becoming a new "dark web," with illicit activities taking place openly. This, combined with the widespread support for crypto payments, could trigger global regulatory scrutiny.

然而，人們擔心 Telegram 會成為一個新的“暗網”，非法活動會公開進行。再加上對加密支付的廣泛支持，可能會引發全球監管審查。
