TECH CRUNCH - Telegram is moving closer to adopting an ecosystem strategy similar to WeChat's super app approach. The platform is developing a super app platform that allows third-party developers to build mini apps for user interaction, mirroring WeChat's functionality. To build this ecosystem, Telegram collaborates with infrastructure partners from both the tech and crypto sectors. The Open Network (TON) Foundation, a crypto partner, has partnered with Tencent Cloud to support the TON blockchain and help build Telegram's super app platform.
