OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren said, "We have long recognized the enormous potential of the Telegram ecosystem and the importance of choosing TON as the preferred public chain. The seamless integration of TON with Telegram's vast user base, coupled with Telegram's nearly 1 billion monthly active users, has laid the foundation for the large-scale adoption of this ecosystem. This plan demonstrates our commitment to supporting innovative projects that will shape the future of Telegram's decentralized applications. We look forward to developers taking advantage of this opportunity to create new utilities that meet the diverse and expanding user needs of Telegram

At TOP, our goal is to provide developers with the tools and resources they need to create impactful and scalable solutions on TON, "said Andrey Klebanov, Managing Director of TOP." By partnering with OKX Ventures and Folius, we further provide developers with financial and professional support to help them achieve transformative projects in Telegram's thriving Web3 ecosystem

Jason Kam, founder of Folius Ventures, said, "Since the establishment of Folius, our core goal has been to achieve widespread user adoption by significantly reducing the friction between entry and on chain operations. We see great potential for TON and Telegram to achieve this goal. The impact of the TON ecosystem on the entire Web3 field is enormous and self-evident, and we look forward to contributing to large-scale adoption by supporting this growth center program

The Telegram Growth Hub is an important step in promoting innovation within the rapidly growing Telegram ecosystem. As Telegram's user base grows at a rate of approximately 2.5 million new users per day, the fund aims to leverage this growth trend to drive the development of next-generation products and achieve large-scale user adoption.
