How do you see the development in 2025?

Q1: What are you most looking forward to seeing in the Web3 industry in 2025? ˇ

Looking forward to 2025, I look forward to Telegram Mini App being more integrated into our daily lives, covering various scenarios such as taxi payment and service purchase.

We will witness the transformation of cryptocurrencies from investment tools to daily necessities, truly enabling a convenient payment experience. This is particularly important for the approximately 1.7 billion people around the world who still do not have a bank account, and will promote the realization of the vision of financial inclusion.

Q2: From the perspective of your professional field, what do you think is the most important trend in the blockchain industry in 2025? What are your prospects and observations?

Bitcoin was born to question the global centralized financial system and provide new solutions. We once expected Bitcoin to replace traditional payment systems, but due to its slow transaction speed and long wait for confirmation, Bitcoin gradually evolved into "digital gold." Although the emergence of the Lightning Network aims to improve transaction efficiency, there are still challenges before widespread adoption.

At the same time, the TON blockchain was relaunched in 2020, and with the launch of Telegram’s Mini App in 2023 and the issuance of USDT on the TON blockchain in 2024, it has shown impressive potential.

The TON blockchain has high TPS (transactions per second) capabilities and can complete transactions within 6 seconds. Coupled with the support of stable coins and Telegram’s nearly 950 million user base, I believe Telegram has the potential to become the ultimate “super application” (Super App), further promote blockchain technology into mainstream applications and become an indispensable part of daily life.

Q3: Are there any interesting plans or products you can share in 2025?

  • TONX API multi-language SDK: A multi-language version will be launched to make it easier for developers to integrate TONX API in their respective development environments, improve development efficiency and accelerate application innovation.

  • TONX Large-scale Developer Conference: TONX will hold a larger series of developer events to attract more developers and talents to join the TON ecosystem and promote technological innovation and ecological development.

  • Smart contract audit cooperation: TONX will join hands with TonBit to promote smart contract audit work, strengthen the service security of the TON ecosystem, protect user assets, and support the healthy development of the ecosystem.

  • New generation of cross-chain bridge technology: In 2025, TON will launch a new generation of cross-chain bridge technology, and these cross-chain bridges will natively support the TON blockchain. Compared with the cross-chain solution launched in 2021 to date, performance and user experience will be greatly improved.

  • Telegram Mini App framework upgrade: Launching a new generation of Telegram Mini App framework and a more complete SDK to help developers create a better and richer application experience.

  • Expand oracle services: Introduce more oracle services into the TON ecosystem, provide TON with powerful infrastructure, and promote the rapid growth of the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystem.
