Telegram’s mission has always been to enable free speech, but speech is so much more in the digital age. We believe users have the right to own their identity and assets. With TON Space, users now have the technology to make this practical,” trumpeted Telegram’s CIO.
Projects built on YOUR will now be able to reach Telegram users as part of the ” largest Web3/Web2 partnership that ever existed”, in the words of John Hyman.
The portfolio designed by The Open Network was already available as a stand-alone bot. It will now be easily accessible to all users from the application settings. Worldwide deployment of TON Space – except in the US – is scheduled for November.
