Big news for TON: OKX Ventures has committed $5 million to TON Ventures, our investment arm dedicated to supporting innovative TON projects. This follows OKX’s recent launch of a $10 million Telegram Growth Hub, in partnership with The Open Platform (TOP) and Folius Ventures, designed to further accelerate growth within the TON ecosystem.

If you’re a developer looking to build the next big thing in the decentralized space, this is your chance.

Why this investment matters

OKX’s commitment to TON is more than just a financial boost. It’s a vote of confidence in the TON ecosystem and what we’re building. With 950 million active Telegram users, TON offers developers something no other platform can: the chance to create and scale decentralized applications (dApps) on a platform where the audience is already engaged and curious.

But it’s not just about the massive numbers—it’s the tools that make building here so seamless. Telegram Mini Apps strip away the usual barriers to blockchain adoption. No need for extra downloads or convincing users to join your ecosystem. Your dApp is integrated into one of the world’s most popular messaging apps, instantly reaching millions.

With OKX’s support, the TON ecosystem is only going to get bigger, faster, and more connected.

Successful Telegram Mini Apps powered by TON

Don’t just take our word for it. TON is already home to several fantastic projects that have benefited from early-stage support, and with OKX’s backing, even more are set to thrive. Here are a few examples of what’s been achieved so far:

• Catizen: One of the most popular play-to-earn games on Telegram, where players manage a virtual cat city.
• Gamee: A mobile gaming ecosystem on Telegram, with over 100 million registered users.
• STON.fi: An automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange (DEX) built on TON Blockchain, available on Telegram.

Why developers should build on TON?

Here’s why TON is the place to start building your dApp:

• Access to a massive audience: With 950 million active Telegram users, your dApp has the potential to scale immediately.
• Funding and support: We’re here to help you get your project off the ground. Beyond funding, we offer a 12-week incubation program that gives you hands-on, 1:1 support from our team of experts—from technical assistance to strategic advice.
• Technical resources: From documentation to APIs and SDKs, we provide you with everything you need to build faster and smarter.
