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. 

They clearly need devs with higher standards.

I have seen a similar list before, and couldn't currently find the article, this one is pretty good:

Seamless accessibility and user acquisition

Telegram apps seamlessly integrate into the Telegram ecosystem. Unlike traditional mobile app development or cross-platform app development services that require separate installations and updates, Telegram apps are directly accessible within the Telegram interface. This enables users to effortlessly explore a wide range of services and solutions.

Moreover, the familiarity with the Telegram platform helps reduce user acquisition costs and allows users to swiftly transition to new apps.

Access to a large user base

Telegram boasts a vast user base of 900 million active monthly users who  generate 500 billion channel views each month. Therefore, the development of a Telegram app will allow you to gain access to this extensive network and empower you to promote your services and solutions to a diverse audience.

Enhanced security

Telegram’s ecosystem prioritizes stringent security measures and ensures increased user data protection and adherence to regulatory requirements.

Since bots and Mini Apps operate within the Telegram environment, they benefit from the same end-to-end encryption and security protocols that Telegram is known for. This enhanced security builds trust and confidence, making Telegram apps a reliable choice for users.

Diverse monetization options

Telegram apps offer diverse opportunities to generate revenue. These include:

    In-app purchases. Enabling users to buy virtual goods and premium features within the app.
    Subscriptions. Offer access to exclusive content and features, thus fostering long-term user engagement and loyalty.
    Advertising. Display ads within the app tailored to the interest of users.
    Sponsored content. Collaborate with brands to create sponsored posts and ensure a lucrative revenue stream.

Furthermore, the integration of Wallet Pay, which supports both fiat and cryptocurrency payments, further expands monetization opportunities, allowing users to make payments seamlessly within Telegram apps. Besides, Telegram’s recent launch of USDT payments on the TON blockchain adds convenience for users and creates new revenue channels for developers.

Efficient viral mechanisms

Telegram features an intuitive mechanism for sharing Mini Apps and content, which streamlines user acquisition and ensures increased engagement. The viral mechanism is straightforward: users are rewarded for referring friends and actively participating in the app’s activities.

A prime example of the simplicity of viral mechanisms within Telegram is Notcoin, a tap-to-earn game where users earn rewards by tapping the main screen.

In January, it achieved a remarkable milestone with 20 million sign-ups within just 26 days of its release. The game’s viral growth is driven by its referral system, where players share referral links with friends, and both the referrer and the new user receive Notcoins as a reward.

In Notcoin, friends that join the game through personal referrals can form Squads, encouraging them to compete against each other and other squads. This creates organic connectivity, keeping users engaged and expanding the reach of Telegram apps.
Seamless multi-platform compatibility

Telegram apps operate smoothly across various platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can engage with these apps on any device, whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, without facing any limitations or inconsistencies.

Thanks to this flexibility and convenience, users can access their preferred services on any device they choose.

The "drain" away from other projects is expected when something this big comes along. I respectfully claim Trump token is clearly strengthening the future for many meme tokens. Millions of people who never heard of them before are discovering the concept for the first time today!

The massive premine is unacceptable and we should continue to try to point out the dark nature of this insanity. Oh wait, FOMO, must buy some NOW!   

You make a strong case to buy at least some asap. As far as competing with Bitcoin - not so certain there. Many people, even in the US, either do not like Trump and/or they know he is "just a businessman." His influence, can allow them to operate with too much fear of the SEC, but it doesn't instantly make experienced crypto players see long-term value. Also, in that scenario the door is wide open for other projects to flourish too. If he plays the favorite too much, Trump will end up with even more pending court cases against his Orange Empire.

The project will have many concerns about US investors if Trump loses the election. As a winner, he will be in a great spot to make certain the US is more tolerant of DeFi and new tokens.

Several people have mentioned "businessman", family interests, and "making money. I didn't notice anyone yet pointing out the obvious fact Trump needs a Ton of Money to pay his legal bills and fines.

It is shocking they are still active, good luck to the early investors.

Hi, fyi: This should be in the altcoin section, these "Games and Rounds" are supposed to pay in BTC. Also, thanks for offering to give away.

The NSFW link is giving me a 403 error, might be a filter on the WiFi I'm using?

Some major altcoins are down over 90% from their ATH vs BTC and are a great investment since they have a strong user base and are not going to go away soon. This is why you "still Invest in the potential heartbreaking AltCoins"

Don't reinvent the wheel. Find a secure framework that already does a good part of what your project is aiming to do.

"A Ponzi scheme is a zero sum game. In a Ponzi scheme, early adopters can only profit at the expense of late adopters, and the late adopters always lose. Bitcoin can have a win-win outcome. Earlier adopters profit from the rise in value as Bitcoin becomes better understood and in turn demanded by the public at large. All adopters benefit from the usefulness of a reliable and widely-accepted decentralized peer-to-peer currency..."

I 100% agree BTC is not a Ponzi scheme, and - unlike many in the community - I find it fascinating that Bitcoin has some things in common w/ a Ponzi scheme. For example, early adopters profiting huge as BTC goes mainstream, etc.
