Animoca Brands, a leader in Web3 gaming and the metaverse, is making a big bet on the Telegram-linked TON (The Open Network) blockchain. Their partnership aims to bring over 100 million new users to the world of Web3, according to a recent statement.
This ambitious target stems from TON’s integration with Telegram, a messaging app boasting over 800 million users. Animoca Brands believes this easy access point, combined with TON’s infrastructure, will be a major driver of Web3 adoption.
Here are the key elements of the Animoca Brands and TON partnership:
- Animoca Brands becomes TON’s largest validator: This strengthens the TON network and signifies Animoca’s commitment to its growth.
- Focus on Web3 gaming: Animoca Brands will explore bringing their portfolio of over 400 Web3 projects to Telegram. TON Play, a gaming infrastructure project on TON, is expected to play a crucial role in enabling these launches.
- Analytics platform for TON ecosystem: Animoca Brands will contribute an analytics dashboard to monitor activity within the TON ecosystem, providing valuable insights for developers.
This collaboration between a major Web3 player and a user-friendly platform like Telegram has the potential to be a game-changer for Web3 adoption. By making it easier for people to experience blockchain-based games and applications, Animoca Brands’ prediction of over 100 million new users joining Web3 through TON/Telegram could become a reality.
