TON Blockchain And Animoca Brands Partner To Develop Web3 Games On Telegram

JAKARTA - TON Blockchain, a decentralized platform integrated with the Telegram messaging application, has established a strategic partnership with Animoca Brands, a leading gaming and metaverse company. This partnership aims to expand the Web3 gaming ecosystem and increase crypto adoption among Telegram users.

Animoca Brands, which has digital property rights for popular games such as F1 Delta Time, The Sandbox, and MotoGP, is making strategic investments in the TON ecosystem. With this, Animoca is the largest validator of the TON blockchain.

As a validator, Animoca Brands will help maintain the security and stability of the TON network, and get rewarded in the form of Crystal TON tokens. In addition, both parties will work together to facilitate the smooth transition from Web2 to Web3 by including existing users into the new Web3 mini-applications.

Reportedly, these mini-applications will allow Telegram users to access TON-based games and services without the need to download or install additional applications.

One of the projects supported by Animoca Brands is TON Play, a gaming infrastructure project that allows developers to launch games directly on Telegram. TON Play will provide a fast, easy, and fun gaming experience for Telegram users, as well as provide economic incentives for developers and players.

Prior to this investment, Animoca Brands conducted in-depth research on the potential of a TON Blockchain to accelerate crypto adoption. The ease of use of a TON-based decentralized application (dApps) and the scale of a TON blockchain is identified as a key factor for community growth. To provide transparency and insight into TON growth, Animoca Brands has created an analytic dashboard that visualizes key metrics.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, expressed confidence in the success of the TON vision and growth potential of a TON-based game. "We are excited to partner with the TON Foundation to bring Web3 games to millions of Telegram users. We believe that TON Blockchain has the technology and a strong community to be the front platforms for open games and metaverses," he said.

The collaboration continues between TON and Animoca Brands, with the aim of smoothly tucking Web3 into Telegram users' daily experiences, particularly in the gaming world. With this partnership, TON Blockchain and Animoca Brands hope to bring the Web3 revolution to a higher level.
