Telegram users can now earn financial rewards through a new staking service for TON, the cryptocurrency powering The Open Network. In partnership with P2P.org and Ton Whales, this service offers a minimum staking requirement of just 10 TON (about $30) and promises annual percentage yields (APY) of 4.7%. Users can stake their TON through a widget integrated into TON Connect-compatible wallets, allowing automated distribution across network validators without manual intervention. This initiative aims to attract institutional interest while providing an entry point for everyday users, leveraging Telegram’s extensive user base of over one billion. The TON ecosystem has reported around 156 million active wallets and over $2 billion staked, highlighting a significant interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions within its community. With this development, Telegram continues to solidify its integration with the TON network, promoting gamified and application-based crypto rewards across its platform.
