Telegram bot will accept payments with Toncoin

The Telegram bot, the co-founder Pavel Durov said, will begin accepting transactions with the Toncoin (TON) cryptocurrency.

“I am proud that the technology we create is alive and evolving. When it comes to scalability and speed, TON is still years ahead of everything else in the blockchain space”, Durov said.

The co-founder indicated that this project, which is independent from Telegram, will be successful in its strategy “as long as it follows the correct path of commercialization.”

TON is a blockchain that was created by brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov in 2017, but both and Telegram walked away from the project in 2020 after a long battle with the United States Securities Commission. Specifically, the SEC won a case in which it accused the network of violating US securities laws by conducting its initial offering of $ 1.7 billion coins in 2018.
