How Telegram Messenger is changing the crypto landscape
Telegram: Crypto Island’s bridge to the mainland Crypto is a relatively insulated new technology, making the path to mass adoption uniquely challenging. To me, it doesn’t seem like the main issue is about UX per se. That’s almost ready. The real bottleneck is easy accessibility between blockchain projects and massive social networks. This is where Telegram Messenger's user base and open APIs provide a game-changing opportunity – and not just for TON. Telegram has become an essential tool for crypto projects’ communications and community building. And it is widely used not only by crypto natives, but by potentially hundreds of millions of crypto-ready users, based on the number of users already playing TON mini-games. TON has made the most strides into this space due to its special relationship with Telegram. Since being endorsed as Telegram’s “official web3 infrastructure” in September 2023, TON has attracted considerable attention and investment. The launch of TON Space, a self-custodial wallet embedded in Telegram settings and attachment menus, allows nearly a billion users to easily engage with crypto apps on Telegram (“tApps”) without ever leaving the platform. These apps provide an all-in-one, de-fragmented experience, where users don’t have to connect a wallet to a separated browser application. TON’s recent collaboration with Telegram reminds me of Spotify’s collaboration with Facebook in 2011. As Spotify leveraged Facebook’s social graph to build communities around music sharing, TON harnesses Telegram to foster communities around value transfer. In both cases, the integration with a massive social network – each boasting around 800 million monthly users at the time – catalyzed significant growth and adoption of a new technology. TON may have stolen the spotlight, but we shouldn’t overlook other blockchain projects making moves into Telegram. To me, NEAR Protocol stands out with its new self-custodial HERE Wallet telegram integration. These integrations too have seen substantial user adoption, underscoring the potential for multiple blockchains to coexist and thrive on Telegram. tApps have come a long way, with UIs improving from simple proxy-page-like trading bots to full-fledged apps combining memes, gaming, social, and more to offer a much more captivating user experience. Notcoin is one good example, but there are a bunch coming out. We are starting to see early indications of a transformative pattern: new technologies that challenge established ones experiencing rapid growth after integrating with massive social networks. Just as Facebook was the right product at the right time to accelerate the rise of Spotify and music streaming in the 2010s, Telegram is the right product at the right time to accelerate blockchain adoption and normalize onchain value transfer in the 2020s.

What will be the next killer app in the RWA space? The RWA space isn't like other crypto sectors. Things get very complicated when linking crypto rails to offchain assets and their established regulatory frameworks. After reviewing dozens of projects in this space, it's clear to me that a lot of practical obstacles must be overcome for massive value to flow in (as in even >1% of stablecoin supply). Setting apart the wheat from the chaff isn't an easy task. I wanted to try to make it easier for you all. In this research, I present a framework for the PRIME scale. The scale is a simple rating tool that yields a weighted average score for any given RWA project based on the following dimensions: + Permissionlessness + Reliability + Integrated utility + Maintenance-minimization + Easy UX To find out how it works, and try it out for yourself, check out the full article linked below. https://lnkd.in/gQHj46yN
