💎 TON Core may be building the engine for Gram Wallet

A curious repository appeared on TON Core developer Petr Makhnev’s GitHub: wallet-engine. It is a Rust library that handles the internal logic of a TON wallet — creating and importing wallets, reading balances and transaction history, signing transfers, working with TON Connect, and more.


🔝 What changed

⚫️ The repository is called wallet-engine
⚫️ It is described as a cross-platform TON wallet engine written in Rust
⚫️ The library handles core wallet behavior instead of UI
⚫️ It supports wallet creation, import, history, transfers and TON Connect flows
⚫️ Apps provide the interface, network access and platform storage around it
⚫️ Bindings are already prepared for Swift, Kotlin, TypeScript/WebAssembly and experimental C++

🔝 Why it matters

⚫️ These are the exact platform directions Telegram needs: iOS, Android, Web and Desktop
⚫️ Instead of building a separate wallet logic stack for every client, Telegram can use one Rust core and attach native interfaces around it
⚫️ That makes wallet behavior more consistent across platforms
⚫️ For Gram Wallet, this looks like the boring infrastructure layer that actually matters
⚫️ The repo does not say “this is Gram Wallet”, but the architecture fits the Telegram rollout story a little too well

Everyone is watching the shiny Gram Wallet button inside Telegram. Meanwhile, the real signal may be lower in the stack: a shared wallet engine that can quietly make the same TON wallet work across every Telegram client.
