Bitget Wallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet by Bitget, is leading an initiative to advance crypto projects within Telegram. Together with the venture fund Foresight Ventures, Bitget has allocated $20 million to support developers of Mini Apps on Telegram.

Flappy Bird, the iconic mobile game, announced a relaunch, featuring a mini-game on Telegram under a marketing campaign called Flap-a-Ton.

Animoca Brands, known for developing the renowned NFT game The Sandbox, has declared a partnership with The Open Network (TON). In this partnership, Animoca has become the foremost validator of the network.

On October 24, Ankr, a decentralized Web3 infrastructure provider, announced its support for the TON blockchain, aimed at facilitating the development of Telegram-focused dApps. This move seeks to make the process of building applications in the TON blockchain ecosystem, which is tightly connected to Telegram, more efficient.

These projects are the digital identity platform Mocaverse and the token developers, the MOCA Foundation.

KuCoin's investment division has declared a partnership with the TON Foundation. This cooperation entails a $20,000 grant from KuCoin Ventures aimed at fostering the development and expansion of the TON ecosystem.

They plan establish 256 servers for validator nodes and initiate a dedicated TON blockchain network for performance testing.

Next month, The Open Network validators plan to vote on freezing 195 inactive addresses. These addresses hold more than 1 billion TON coins, which amounts to $2.5 billion USD. If this decision is made, the blocking will last for 4 years and the owners of these wallets will not be able to make any transactions during this period. A forced hold for long-term holders? It's interesting, but short term holders could definitely use some freezing!
