The article discusses Telegram mini-apps, which are third-party projects that connect directly to the Telegram platform and offer Web3 features like transactions, tokenization, earnings, and airdrops. These mini-apps are built using HTML5 and JavaScript and are compatible with the Telegram interface. They can connect to existing payment processors and monetize through in-app purchases, subscriptions, and advertisements. Telegram mini-apps range in complexity, from simple tapping games to full idle games. They can connect to various chains, including Toncoin, Ethereum, and Solana, for trading, NFT ownership, and more. Mini-apps also offer features such as e-commerce, education, utility tools, and crypto analysis. Telegram mini-apps are lightweight, compatible across different operating systems, and can run on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. While they can be monetized through fiat payments, they often tap into the Toncoin chain for tokenization and airdrops. The article emphasizes the importance of user research to avoid interacting with unknown or malicious apps. Tap-to-earn mini-apps, particularly those connected to Toncoin, have gained popularity, and high-profile projects offer airdrops to users. The article acknowledges the risks associated with mini-apps but views them as a sustainable tool to enhance Telegram's capabilities and connect the community. The app market is predicted to grow, and Telegram, with its large user base, is positioned to benefit from the monetization trend.
