Ton applet in 2024 has become a real phenomenon.
Ton’s complete story
From the ICO that broke in 2018 to 2024, it became a large -scale center.
Ton was originally founded by Telegram in 2018 and launched a record ICO in 2019, raising $ 1.7 billion.In 2020, the wind direction changed, and the US SEC’s lawsuit prevented this process, but for most Web3 products, this may be a disaster, but it made TON stronger.
In 2021, an open source development team (now the TON Foundation) rebuilt the ecosystem and shapes it into the current state.GRAM was renamed TON, and the issue price was $ 0.7.
In 2023, TON announced that it was planned to include 30%of users into its network by 2028, with the goal of reaching 500 million users.
The number of target users in 2024 is about 3-4 million.
Actually,The number of wallets activated on the TON chain has exceeded 9 millionEssence
What is the key to Ton’s explosive growth?
Telegram applet.
With a small program, developers can create a flexible interface starting directly in Telegram, which may replace any website or network application.

Since its launch, thousands of small programs have been created.
The following are several highlights of the applets:
-
Notcoin: The number of users in 3 months reached 35 million
-
Hamster Kombat: 150 million users, 46 million daily active users
-
Catizen: 21 million users, 3 million daily active users
-
TAPSWAP: 50 million users, 17 million daily active users
-
Yescoin: 20 million users, 5 million daily active users
No wonder the number of active addresses in TON has exceeded Ethereum.
Hamster Kombat boom is an extraordinary part of this legend.Many of my web2 friends have nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, and they are now publishing their recommendation links and sharing their statistical data.
Hamster Kombat is popular on YouTube and Twitter, and there are many fans on Telegram.The YouTube channel of this game has 23 million subscribers, while its Twitter account has 8.1 million fans.
With the popularization of the Telegram applet framework of notcoin and Hamster Kombat, hundreds of developers have created their own touch screen games on TON, forming a snowball effect.Users actively explore the ecosystem and look for the next promising application.
TON incentives have further promoted this process: In 2024, Ton, worth more than $ 150 million, will be assigned to communities and projects. At present, more than 894,000 users have shared a reward of $ 9 million.
As a result, Messari data shows,Ton’s return on investment is still positive than all asset categoriesEssenceThis seems to be a rare achievement today.
The real impact is the growth of TON, not just the interests of the native users of the web3, just like other chains.
Instead, it attracts non -encrypted users and let them join the Web3 trip.
