Full Story

If ya haven’t heard, Telegram is on a tear right now.

Mostly because of crypto tap-to-earn ‘mini-app’ games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin, which have accrued hundreds of millions of players (literally!).

So, what do you do when you’re winning? Win some more of course.

Their latest release lets users flip between mini-apps within Telegram, meaning users can now bounce between a game, a chat and their TG wallet (for example).

Why does this matter?

Think about our biggest gripe with the metaverse…

It’s cool and all, but once you’ve explored a virtual world, or been to whatever team building event you’re attending, there’s usually no real reason to come back.

There’s too much friction in the user experience, and not enough value for the time you spend to get back there.

Telegram on the other hand is kind of like the opposite of that.

Open your app > play a fun game > earn crypto.

And that slick, no-learning-curve, fun experience just got even better.

(All while continuing to onboard more people into the crypto world who may or may not even know it).

So, while the ‘flip between mini-apps’ on Telegram isn’t the craziest of new features, anything that improves the user experience and onboards more of the world into crypto at the same time…

That’s a beautiful thing.
