According to Ankr, the integration will eliminate node management for developers, allowing faster development into the TON network.
Web3 infrastructure platform Ankr has announced an integration with The Open Network (TON) blockchain, allowing developers to create decentralized applications (DApps) for Telegram’s users.
According to an Oct. 24 announcement, the integration into Ankr’s Web3 API services will eliminate nodes set up on TON, removing hours of development on building, calibrating and fixing issues.
Telegram’s audience is estimated to be at 950 million users. Popular DApps based on TON include Telegram Mini Apps, such as Hamster Kombat — a tap-to-earn game that has amassed over 300 million players in a few months.
