New Partnership for Building Non-Custodial Web3 Games on Telegram
Thanks to a recent partnership, developers can now build non-custodial, on-chain Web3 games and products as Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs). Inco, developers of a universal confidentiality layer for Ethereum and other networks, has partnered with Privy, an embedded wallet provider that simplifies the onboarding process for crypto app developers.
Accessing Users on Telegram
Developers can directly access users on Telegram, a widely popular social media platform with 900 million users worldwide. By building decentralized apps (Dapps) as TMAs, developers can create a consumer-friendly experience and reach a vast pool of retail users.
Running Web Apps on Telegram Messenger
These web apps operate within Telegram Messenger, allowing users to access them in individual or group chats. Users can launch an embedded web interface with a user experience similar to popular in-app browsers.
Launching Telegram Mini Apps
Launching a TMA is as simple as starting a chat conversation with the app’s Telegram handle. For instance, a poker game running fully on-chain eliminates the need to trust the ‘dealer’ by leveraging encryption technology like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
New Forms of Web3 Games on Telegram
Inco, a confidentiality-focused Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) powered by FHE, enables developers to build decentralized apps and mini-games that integrate with wallet providers. Various game types including slot machines, card games, guessing games, and prediction markets offer new forms of gameplay with confidential elements.
Advantages of Building Web3 Products as Telegram Mini Apps
- Automation with Telegram bots for user prompts and notifications
- Embedded monetization opportunities through in-app purchases and subscriptions
- Cross-platform experiences with synchronized session history across web and mobile app deployments
Developer Comments on the Partnership
Per Privy COO Max Segall, this partnership enables developers to reach users on Telegram efficiently. Inco CEO Remi Gai believes that building decentralized apps within Telegram will be the next trend, fostering the development of the Web3 industry.
