Telegram formally abandoned its $1.7 billion crypto project, The Telegram Open Network, on May 12, 2020. (TON).

“Telegram’s active involvement with TON is over, ” wrote Pavel Durov, co-founder of Telegram, in a blog post. Later, community organizations such as Free TON, NewTON, and the TON Chinese Community brought the project back to life using Telegram’s open-source code.

The TON Foundation now manages the toncoin token, which enables fee-free cryptocurrency payments on the Telegram client. It provides the ability to transmit cryptocurrency to other users as well as acquire bitcoin from within the app.

Other ways to pay on Telegram.

Telegram allows retailers to develop bots that allow their consumers to easily checkout on Telegram. Merchant bots can deliver invoice messages in a certain format to users, groups, or channels.

Invoice messages include a product photo and description, as well as a visible Pay button. By tapping this button, you will be taken to a dedicated payment window within the Telegram client. Users can select a tip amount (if permitted by the seller) and input extra information such as shipping information, phone number, or email address on this screen.

Telegram does not accept money from users, instead relying on a global network of payment providers. It takes payments from over 200 countries through vendors such as Stripe, EcommPay, PayMega, and Sberbank. Payment providers receive and retain all sensitive information, such as credit card details, and Telegram has no access to it.
