Today, The Open Network Foundation (TON Foundation), a non-profit Swiss organization working towards growing a Web3 ecosystem within Telegram, has announced a collaboration with Blockchain.com. The collaboration will make crypto more accessible for the over 800 million Telegram users.
In September 2023, TON Space, the TON-based self-custody cryptocurrency wallet, was made available in the Telegram settings menu for existing Wallet users outside the United States. Starting in November 2023, TON Space will be available by default in the Telegram menu for all users outside the US.
Toncoin will also be available in Blockchain.com’s 90 million wallets worldwide to facilitate easy onboarding and off-ramping. There will be transaction pairs for GBP, USD, and EUR. Additionally, Blockchain.com users will receive an extra $5 USD of Toncoin when they buy $20 USD of Toncoin on the platform.
On October 31, 2023, TON Foundation will attempt to set a world record for the fastest blockchain. The event can be viewed live at live.ton.org, and will showcase the potential of The Open Network.
TON Foundation is 100% funded by the community, supporting initiatives aligned with The Open Network’s mission. The Open Network (TON) is striving to put crypto in every pocket and is giving billions the opportunity to own their digital identity, data, and assets. Blockchain.com is connecting the world to the future of finance, with over 90 million wallets and 40 million verified users.
