With cryptocurrencies becoming more and more common, moves are coming from tech giants on this issue. Many companies continue their work without slowing down to provide services to their users about cryptocurrencies, which are believed to be the currency of the internet.
Now, a move in this regard came from Telegram, one of the world’s leading messaging platforms. It has been stated that the giant messaging service, which has increased its popularity recently, has started to offer crypto money support. It was also stated in the statements that this service will include two cryptocurrencies.

According to the news, Telegram will now allow its users to send the cryptocurrency called Toncoin (TON) with a single message. Announced by the statements made by TON (The Open Network), it was stated that this support would be free, and the following statements were used: “Now you will be able to send Toncoin directly via Telegram chats. This service, which allows you to send Toncoins to any Telegram user without paying a transaction fee, will no longer require you to enter long wallet addresses and wait for approval”
TON also shared a video on how to use crypto integration in his announcement on Twitter. The support is available with the help of a wallet bot. You need to search by typing ‘@wallet’ in the search section of the application and click on the bot that appears. After that, you need to press the part that appears as ‘Add bots to attachments’ on the screen that opens and give your approval. Thus, your wallet becomes active, and during conversations with other users, you can access your wallet and send crypto money by clicking on the ‘attach’ icon at the bottom of the screen.
Let’s add to our words that in addition to sending Toncoins, users can buy the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) with the help of the wallet.
Telegram had abandoned the TON project in recent years
Telegram had begun to take important steps in crypto money in recent years. The TON project, known as Telegram Open Network, was one of these steps of the company. But in 2020, pressure from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) led the company to abandon the project. After that, the project was renamed The Open Network by a group of developers and continued.
Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov, which integrated this crypto money into the application, said in his statements a few days ago, “I am proud that the project we have created is still alive and continues to evolve. TON is far ahead of other projects in the field of blockchain and expressed his happiness for the continuation of the project.
