We all know the closeness that both projects have always had, which never stops bringing us good news. For TON, it is essential that both the Blockchain and the telegram super app offer real use cases to attract web2 users, providing them with tangible products according to their needs.
over a month ago, a historic event was held for the Ton community, called The Gateway, which was held in Dubai and attended by more than 500 enthusiasts, developers, and investors who want to continue building and innovating in TON with the vision to reach an increasingly wider audience thanks to its alliance and closeness with Telegram.
In the preamble to that event, the Ton Blockchain achieved quite notable progress, such as setting a global TPS record, and surpassing the number of TON accounts and wallets by more than 40 times in relation to the year 2021, which put it in the spotlight of hundreds of investors and made the TON cryptocurrency place in the top 10 cryptocurrencies with the highest market capitalization.
With the promise and vision of putting crypto in every pocket, several important announcements were made at that event to take into account:
TON Society, a new social network of the TON ecosystem that will be supported by the incentive infrastructure of The open League that is integrated with Telegram and gives the user a digital identity and reputation throughout the ecosystem through the achievements they achieve in it.
