Mini Apps

So fucking backwards

I don't even get how this is

1) Going to work, TGs wallet isn't globally available

2) Going to be enforced? Mini apps can be distributed pretty permissionlessly - you lose a few features opting for this , likely becomes more painful over time

Yep @kauffman kinda called this from day #1

I agree, I think they have way more to lose here than to gain

Preferential programs for TON apps would be understandable 

An exclusivity deal that kills half of your current apps that aren't transferable to an obscure blockchain disconnected from everything their app relies on - smort guys smort

Yesterday, I was just talking about this with a friend who's far from crypto, but was asking about tg mini-apps use cases.

They would do much better if were open to other blockchains!

I know very little about telegram apps but this sounds very bearish / walled garden.

That's a psyop

There's a infinite rolodex of tools to ensure user safety on the chains that they just cut out 

Adding more wallet types would be trivial 

This is a "this is my playground" arbitrary chain KPI bumping extraction tactic

isn't this also an attempt to keep a handle on the UX tho? Most users won't have a clue what's happening under the hood and a crappy chain could make Telegram seem crap.

Degenerate, professional mid-curver, wasting my time at a chain near you

Yep, still think you should have a presence on TG, then economically incentivize elsewhere 

Ultimately I think farcaster standard wins, twitter will probably pop up for awhile with less chain bias but same counterparty risk as TG 

Livid we didn't lean in harder on TG last year, felt like we had more time

World coin apps starting to look like a good pivot for this. Though nothing comes close to telegram user base (yet)

wtf for reals‽

Fine if your app just uses microtxs + off chain economy

Sucks fucking ass if you're leveraging crypto for permissionless economies or integrating existing protocols

that's bad, i was just reading it

i was thinking of building some mini-apps available also there, but if TON is a MUST, i'm not sure about it anymore

@warpcastadmin.eth do you have some tea on who is behind TON and what kind of insider trading twister durov is playing?

"exclusivity deal with The Open Network" bro wtf it's obvious that TON is your own chain Pavel. It's just a rebrand of the telegram chain because you got C&D'd
