By 2025, Telegram’s audience had surpassed 900 million users. The scale feels almost physical. Any infrastructure point under that kind of growth begins to experience pressure. 🤖BotFather sits at the center of this flow because it helps build and stabilize the entire system.
Since there are already dozens of articles explaining “how to create a bot via BotFather,” this piece takes a different angle.
It focuses on a few underlying questions:
1. Why has BotFather become a mandatory entry point into the system?
2. How did the bot + Mini App combination shape Telegram’s architecture?
3. What does a centralized entry point mean for the teams building on the platform?
