The Open Network (TON) has gained popularity with Telegram games and crypto integrations, such as NOTcoin, which has seen over $1 billion in volume traded since its launch. The TON app page lists over 570 gaming-related apps, indicating a strong presence on the chain. However, the current games on TON are in their early stages, and improvements are expected in future releases. The tokens launched on TON lack longevity, as the games are typically simple and focused on play-to-earn methods. TON users can also purchase NFTs, such as usernames and stickers, using the TON cryptocurrency. TON builders have a limited relationship with Telegram, as Telegram operates in chaos and lacks communication with TON builders. Despite this, TON builders believe that keeping TON tied to Telegram is the best strategy due to Telegram's large user base and potential for user acquisition. The builders are hopeful that more favorable US regulation in 2025 could lead to the availability of the Telegram Wallet in the US.
