The TON (The Open Network) blockchain, integrated into Telegram, could play a crucial role in the adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) in the mainstream, according to a GSR report. The synergy between Telegram’s vast user base (over 950 million) and TON’s DeFi ecosystem creates an unprecedented opportunity to broaden the target audience. With TON surpassing Ethereum in active addresses, its growth potential includes decentralized payment features and even games, such as “Hamster Kombat”, that drive engagement.

TON also offers low fees and great speed, factors that make it attractive to new users and to companies looking to integrate with DeFi in a practical way. Its direct link to Telegram facilitates the inclusion of decentralized technologies in everyday life, allowing financial services to reach a wider population, including those who are unfamiliar with cryptoassets.

This new paradigm could position TON as a key infrastructure for the evolution of the digital economy, allowing a new wave of participants to exploit the advantages of DeFi, while driving technological innovation across the sector.

With the growing interest in the DeFi space, TON is positioned to be an essential bridge to make decentralized finance accessible to the general public, democratizing access and facilitating the transition to the digital economy.
