pretty sure the telegram ton wallet was launched as "self-custodial"

but just saw that i got a notification earlier today telling me i need to provide personal details in order to continue using this wallet... 🫠

I don’t think it’s self custodial - clearly some trade offs made but it’s getting crypto in the hands of hundreds of millions of people so 🤷‍♂️

Building Frame Drops (permissionless token drops to reward engagement in channels & on casts) on Warpcast 🦑 /quidli

Regardless, played around with the native wallet, it's not so great UI/UX which seems a bit odd if it's custodial

Also, built a @quidli integration for it, which I think is nicer 😜, and that is definitely custodial

Yeah tbh I haven’t found any interesting apps yet and dev side definitely is a bit harder to grok than frames for example

Still fascinating to see something like this deployed at scale

I do think if they'd focus around stablecoin payments (currently just USDT), there could be some real growth in crypto payments they can drive here

Bonus points if it's non custodial
