Telegram launches its second challenge Telegram Messenger announced… — TON Insider — TG.ME

💎 Telegram launches its second challenge

Telegram Messenger announced another challenge, this time for Mini Apps. Developers need to show their app, explain why it is useful, and attach a t.me link so people can actually open it.


🔝 What changed

⚫️ Telegram launched a second challenge after the IRL Moderation campaign
⚫️ This one is focused on Mini Apps
⚫️ Participants must be developers
⚫️ They need to explain what their Mini App does and why it is useful
⚫️ A t.me link to the app is required
⚫️ Three winners will receive 100 USDT each

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ Telegram is pushing Mini Apps through simple public contests, not only official product updates
⚫️ The platform is giving developers a small but visible reason to show what they are building
⚫️ For TON, this is the important part: more Mini Apps means more possible wallet, payment and on-chain use cases inside Telegram
⚫️ The challenge format also trains users to see USDT rewards as a normal Telegram-native mechanic
⚫️ Telegram is slowly turning its own X account into a launchpad for community activity around the app ecosystem

First they asked users to clean parks for USDT. Now they are asking developers to show Mini Apps. Telegram’s onboarding strategy is starting to look simple: make people do something useful, then pay them in crypto.
