The Telegram wallet supports many popular blockchains, does anyone know if individual devs can easily add new ones directly or through the API?

When could we start seeing improved Ton ecosystem projects?
When talented devs interested in creating unique new projects in the Telegram ecosystem, using the Telegram Wallet and/or TON blockchain start to do so. Tongue

Haha its funny they list in wallet paying for things as a feature when I just read yesterday in a PirateCash thread that it is quite the opposite, the coin is going to have to castrate its telegram bot because telegram doesn't actually allow in app payments and exchanges and so on it only allows letting telegram do payments with its own app or something like that, using the TON blockchain.

Basically it sounds like it is heading toward being another "walled garden" like over time one has heard of Apple's app store and likely others becoming:

A place that might temporarily take advantage of your (the developer's) work to fill a gap in their own portfolio of offerings until ready to toss you (a developer) out in favour of their own version of your idea as soon as they have whipped up their own thing to fill the niche you temporarily filled for them to help their garden look full of goodness.

I read somewhere sometime that Apple doesn't allow other people's pay systems for example, as Pirate Cash seems to be victom to in telegram/ton garden.

Whether the laws will ban such monopolistic practices might remain to be seen but in Trump's America it doesn't seem likely does it?

In Canada locking phones in to carriers was banned, did America ever get around to that and even if so will Trump let such a thing stand?
