Telegram is the only top global app that remains founder controlled, free from corporate or VC pressure. A rare case where scale, independence, and user trust coexist. Among the top 10 apps of 2025, Telegram is the only one with deep, native blockchain integration. $TON is a core part of Telegram’s official platform. Telegram began deeply integrating TON in 2023. That makes the ecosystem only a couple of years old, with most adoption still ahead. It’s still early. Take the time to understand and position yourself.
