Telegram requires third-party cryptocurrency wallets to use TON Connect, limiting support to the TON blockchain: the new requirements will take effect by February 21 💬

Telegram requires all third-party crypto wallets to use TON Connect, limiting support to the TON blockchain only. All Mini Apps running on other blockchains must switch to TON by February 21. Otherwise, Telegram will suspend their operation. This move has sparked criticism from developers concerned about centralization and platform monopolization. Some wallets, such as Bitget Wallet Lite, have already integrated TON Connect to comply with the new requirements.
