TL;DR
- Ankr integrates with The Open Network (TON) to facilitate the development of decentralized applications (dApps) on Telegram.
- The collaboration will allow developers to access the TON blockchain without needing to manage their own nodes.
- Ankr presents new RPC connections that simplify communication between TON nodes and end users, removing technical barriers in blockchain development.
Ankr has announced its integration with The Open Network (TON), a key partnership that will enhance the development of decentralized applications (dApps) for Telegram.
This collaboration aims to facilitate developers in creating dApps that can leverage Telegram’s vast ecosystem, which has approximately 950 million users. It will provide a “gateway” that allows developers to access the TON blockchain without the need to deploy or maintain their own nodes. Through Ankr’s API service, developers will be able to make queries and transactions on the blockchain instantly.

The use of mini-apps and mini-games on Telegram has significantly increased in recent months, demonstrating a strong interest in blockchain technology and its application in messaging platforms. Although the TON blockchain is managed independently, its connection to Telegram is very close, providing developers with a unique opportunity to engage with an active community. Since the launch of its native wallet about a year ago, Telegram has experienced unprecedented growth, registering nearly 23 million new wallets in the past year.
Ankr Will Facilitate Blockchain Technology Development
Officials from the TON Foundation have emphasized that the collaboration with Ankr will provide effective tools for the rapid development of dApps and to leverage Telegram’s global reach. The TON blockchain is expected to become an attractive environment for creating innovative solutions that combine the advantages of decentralized applications with the usability of the messaging platform.
Ankr has also introduced its new remote procedure call (RPC) connections, which will allow developers to connect their wallets and decentralized applications directly to the TON blockchain. These RPCs act as messengers that facilitate communication between TON nodes and end users, simplifying tasks such as executing transactions and obtaining information on balances and asset ownership.
Ankr and TON seek to eliminate the technical barriers associated with blockchain development, opening new opportunities for users and developers to engage with blockchain technology. The integration will strengthen TON’s infrastructure and drive innovation within the Telegram ecosystem
