​Telegram to exclusively use TON for ad payments

As part of the #TONxTelegram initiative, Telegram has announced that starting in March, Telegram broadcast channels in around 100 countries will be receiving payouts in Toncoin (TON). This development further integrates TON Blockchain into Telegram, marking another significant step towards putting crypto in every pocket. Read more here.

Why this matters
This move is not just transforming how digital advertising and monetization work on a global scale. It’s about bringing blockchain technology to a mainstream platform with over 800 million monthly active users. Channel owners and creators can now monetize their content through a global, decentralized currency that supports peer-to-peer transactions via @Wallet right within Telegram.

This initiative signifies not only a substantial revenue stream for Telegram and Telegram creators but also an entirely new utility for cryptocurrency and Toncoin. As with everything they do, Telegram wanted to do advertising differently, characterized by transparency and respecting user privacy. With payouts in Toncoin, Telegram Channel owners will learn about TON’s Web3 ecosystem and can use the payouts for promotion and upgrading their channels.

Aside from Telegram Ads, an ecosystem of Web3 apps is already available to Telegram Channel creators:
▪️ @Wallet: Gives creators a way to hold, buy, sell, send and receive crypto peer-to-peer inside Telegram. With Wallet Pay, channel owners can build payment in crypto into their own Telegram Mini-apps.
▪️ @community_bot: Gives creators an in-telegram quest platform, where subscribers can do tasks and earn rewards.
▪️ @tribute: Gives creators another monetization method, with donations from subscribers or subscription-gated paid channels.

We're just scratching the surface of what's possible with TON Blockchain. This integration is a testament to our belief in a decentralized future where digital assets play a pivotal role in content creation and advertising.

This development further integrates TON Blockchain into Telegram, marking another significant step towards putting crypto in every pocket. Read more here.

Based on our analysis and experience with the Telegram Ads platform, we've estimated the potential impact for advertisers. With Telegram channels generating a staggering 1 trillion impressions, our average CPM is $4.30. Telegram already captures 10% of this market, so it stands to reason that from March ± $215 million could already be paid out to advertisers. We estimate channels opting into Telegram Ads could earn a share of $215 million and $2.1 billion per month, all paid in Toncoin.

This initiative signifies not only a substantial revenue stream for Telegram and Telegram creators but also an entirely new utility for cryptocurrency and Toncoin.

​TON Ecosystem Roundup

As TON continues to evolve and expand, this week brings several updates from four ecosystem projects: Gagarin Launchpad, Hipo, CatizenAI, and Tongochi. Let's take a closer look at their latest updates:

Gagarin Launchpad
On March 1, 2024, Gagarin Launchpad launched the TON-EVM Bridge. This bridge facilitates a connection between the Binance Smart Chain and TON, enabling projects to issue tokens across various EVM-compatible networks. This functionality not only broadens project reach but also contributes to the growth of the TON Ecosystem.

Hipo
Over the past 30 days, Hipo has showcased a high and stable Annual Percentage Yield (APY) and has achieved a Total Value Locked (TVL) of 2.76 million. With a focus on transparency, Hipo is now featured in the DefiLlama yield rankings. To view Hipo's statistics and monitor their progress, visit this page.

CatizenAI
The P2E TON-based game and Meow Metaverse, CatizenAI, has launched its Wipe Beta Test. Within its first week, the Telegram bot game attracted 160,000 users and facilitated over 50,000 on-chain transactions. As a Play-to-Airdrop project combining elements of the Metaverse, GameFi, and AI, CatizenAI aims to leverage the TON Ecosystem's dynamics and elevate the GameFi industry.

Tongochi
Tongochi is preparing to launch the Closed Beta Testnet for its second game, Zombie Town, featuring a unique burning event where users can acquire special NFT keys by burning tokens. These keys grant eligibility to participate in the testnet and a chance to share a 1,000 TON reward pool. Building on the success of its first P2E game, which involves breeding mutant frogs, Zombie Town will allow players to use their trained frogs as weapons against zombies, earning rewards in the process.

Projects with the fastest TVL growth
The recent introduction of The Open League incentives has resulted in a significant increase in the Total Value Locked (TVL) across the TON Ecosystem's liquidity pools. In just ten days, three projects have seen their TVL grow by over $1 million each: TON Raffles, an all-in-one Jetton platform providing Jetton and NFT launchpad; DeDust, a leading DEX on TON; and GRAM, the first Proof of Work (POW) Jetton on TON.

The boost has already begun and will run until April 1, 2024. Projects that show the most traction in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL), highest utilization rates, daily active wallets, and transaction numbers will receive continuous boosts throughout March. The best projects will receive additional Toncoin awards on April 1, 2024, for their performance.

How to participate:

▪️ DYOR: All selected projects have demonstrated growth and demand, qualifying them for reward distribution. However, liquidity pools carry inherent risks, and it's crucial to fully understand these before participating.
▪️ Provide liquidity: To join, you'll need tokens from both sides of the pool. Swap your Toncoin for your chosen project's token and deposit equal amounts into the pool.
▪️ Monitor your position: Reward amounts are subject to change, so monitoring the health of your position is vital. Be aware of impermanent loss, especially if the value of one side of your pool becomes highly volatile.
▪️ Earn: Rewards will be distributed automatically based on your pool share size. The larger your share, the greater your rewards.

😝 Next month, channel owners on Telegram can start receiving financial rewards from their work.

Broadcast channels on Telegram generate 1 trillion views monthly. Currently, only 10% of these views are monetized with Telegram Ads — a promotion tool designed with privacy in mind.

In March, the Telegram Ad Platform will officially open to all advertisers in nearly a hundred new countries. Channel owners in these countries will start receiving 50% of any revenue that Telegram makes from displaying ads in their channels.

To ensure ad payments and withdrawals are fast and secure, we will exclusively use the TON blockchain. Similar to our approach with Telegram usernames on Fragment, we will sell ads and share revenue with channel owners in Toncoin. This will create a virtuous circle, in which content creators will be able to either cash out their Toncoins — or reinvest them in promoting and upgrading their channels 🤑
