Telegram is coming back with a brand new concept that reminds us of WeChat. It will no longer be just a messaging app. It will appear as a platform where developers can design mini applications, like WeChat. It will collaborate with the company’s crypto partner, the TON Foundation, and WeChat owner Tencent. In this way, this application, which has many users around the world, will meet WeChat’s ecosystem.
Telegram will be a platform where applications can be developed!
Telegram’s engineers are working on an update that will bring color to the application. Developers will now design mini applications to interact with their users within the platform ecosystem. Thanks to this new partnership, the application’s usage area will reach a wide range, from games to restaurants. “Developers can use JavaScript to create infinitely flexible interfaces that can be launched directly from within Telegram and can completely replace any website,” company officials said.
Of course, Telegram has prepared a basic infrastructure to create such a super application platform. The company has prepared itself for this new update with a network of infrastructure partners from both the established technology world and the crypto space. Among these is the Open Network (TON) Foundation, which laid the company’s blockchain foundation. In addition, this foundation also operates as an independent organization.
TON Foundation announced this week that it will collaborate with Tencent Cloud. Thanks to this collaboration, Telegram games will be enriched thanks to Tencent Cloud’s enriched infrastructure. Additionally, Tencent Cloud will offer a special amount of cloud credits and product discounts through the Tencent Cloud Startup Program.
WeChat pioneered the mini-app model in China. Now it powers millions of applications that offer functions such as payments, food delivery, e-commerce, ride-hailing, and driver’s license renewal. Telegram has the potential to reach a wider range of users around the world. Thus, Tencent will accelerate its efforts to expand abroad. Telegram is the key to the world market for Tencent. In fact, this partnership will create great opportunities for three companies. The messaging giant will also gain more users thanks to this new platform.
