Telegram, the popular messaging platform, is set to introduce a Mini App store and an in-app browser with built-in Web3 support by the end of July, according to founder Pavel Durov. These new features aim to enhance user experience and integrate blockchain functionalities within the app.
In addition to these new features, Durov announced measures to mitigate scams on the platform. Telegram will now display the month and country of registration for public-facing user accounts, adding a layer of transparency and security for users.
The Open Network （TON）, a separate blockchain network associated with Telegram, has seen viral success with games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin. These games have onboarded millions of users, demonstrating the potential of blockchain games to generate income and drive engagement.
Despite the success, the rise in popularity has also led to an increase in phishing attacks and scams. Telegram’s new security measures aim to protect users from these threats, ensuring a safer environment for the growing user base.
