Telegram to exclusively use TON for ad payments

As part of the #TONxTelegram initiative, Telegram has announced that starting in March, Telegram broadcast channels in around 100 countries will be receiving payouts in Toncoin (TON). This development further integrates TON Blockchain into Telegram, marking another significant step towards putting crypto in every pocket. Read more here.

Why this matters
This move is not just transforming how digital advertising and monetization work on a global scale. It’s about bringing blockchain technology to a mainstream platform with over 800 million monthly active users. Channel owners and creators can now monetize their content through a global, decentralized currency that supports peer-to-peer transactions via @Wallet right within Telegram.

This initiative signifies not only a substantial revenue stream for Telegram and Telegram creators but also an entirely new utility for cryptocurrency and Toncoin. As with everything they do, Telegram wanted to do advertising differently, characterized by transparency and respecting user privacy. With payouts in Toncoin, Telegram Channel owners will learn about TON’s Web3 ecosystem and can use the payouts for promotion and upgrading their channels.

Aside from Telegram Ads, an ecosystem of Web3 apps is already available to Telegram Channel creators:
▪️ @Wallet: Gives creators a way to hold, buy, sell, send and receive crypto peer-to-peer inside Telegram. With Wallet Pay, channel owners can build payment in crypto into their own Telegram Mini-apps.
▪️ @community_bot: Gives creators an in-telegram quest platform, where subscribers can do tasks and earn rewards.
▪️ @tribute: Gives creators another monetization method, with donations from subscribers or subscription-gated paid channels.

We're just scratching the surface of what's possible with TON Blockchain. This integration is a testament to our belief in a decentralized future where digital assets play a pivotal role in content creation and advertising.

This development further integrates TON Blockchain into Telegram, marking another significant step towards putting crypto in every pocket. Read more here.

Based on our analysis and experience with the Telegram Ads platform, we've estimated the potential impact for advertisers. With Telegram channels generating a staggering 1 trillion impressions, our average CPM is $4.30. Telegram already captures 10% of this market, so it stands to reason that from March ± $215 million could already be paid out to advertisers. We estimate channels opting into Telegram Ads could earn a share of $215 million and $2.1 billion per month, all paid in Toncoin.

This initiative signifies not only a substantial revenue stream for Telegram and Telegram creators but also an entirely new utility for cryptocurrency and Toncoin. As with everything they do, Telegram wanted to do advertising differently, characterized by transparency and respecting user privacy.

DAOLama introduces ‘Buy NFT now, Pay later’

DAOLama, a pool-to-peer NFT lending protocol on TON, has launched a new feature allowing users to purchase NFTs at half their market price. This development is aimed at providing instant access to trust-less loans, enabling users to acquire digital assets with less money upfront.

How does it work?
The platform now offers the option for individuals to buy NFTs, like an Anonymous Number, for 68.16 TON when the floor price is 173 TON. The remaining balance of 106.3 TON can be settled within two weeks, with a minimal additional cost of 1.46 TON. Additionally, the payment for the purchased NFT can be completed within 28 days, with early repayment leading to a recalculated, possibly lower amount.

NFTs purchased via this option are stored in a smart contract, ensuring security and transparency. During this period, owners can sell the NFT with no commission, keeping all profits from any sale.

This feature introduces a new dynamic to the TON NFT market, providing users with an innovative way to expand their digital collections. Check it out here.

😝 Next month, channel owners on Telegram can start receiving financial rewards from their work.

Broadcast channels on Telegram generate 1 trillion views monthly. Currently, only 10% of these views are monetized with Telegram Ads — a promotion tool designed with privacy in mind.

In March, the Telegram Ad Platform will officially open to all advertisers in nearly a hundred new countries. Channel owners in these countries will start receiving 50% of any revenue that Telegram makes from displaying ads in their channels.

To ensure ad payments and withdrawals are fast and secure, we will exclusively use the TON blockchain. Similar to our approach with Telegram usernames on Fragment, we will sell ads and share revenue with channel owners in Toncoin. This will create a virtuous circle, in which content creators will be able to either cash out their Toncoins — or reinvest them in promoting and upgrading their channels 🤑

The future of GameFi on TON

The transition from Web2 to Web3 gaming represents a significant shift towards empowering players with real ownership of their digital assets. However, the complexity of most Web3 games poses considerable barriers to widespread adoption.

TON and Telegram are addressing these challenges by simplifying the transition to blockchain gaming. Through the Telegram Mini Apps platform, players can easily access games with a single click, while developers can swiftly launch TON-based games on Telegram. @Wallet in Telegram and chat-based features like leaderboards enhance the user experience by facilitating in-game transactions and adding social mechanics.

Although gaming on Telegram is still in its infancy, there's substantial opportunity for growth. Leveraging targeted marketing and the platform's global reach, TON-based games are poised to capture between 10-20% of Telegram's 800 million monthly active users, establishing it as a leading platform for Web3 gaming.

The viral success of Notcoin showcases TON's ability to host engaging and successful games. Alongside the achievements of other TON-based games such as Gatto and Tap Fantasy, this highlights the network's potential as a prime destination for both gamers and developers.
