Two things Telegram shipped recently are worth noting: rich text formatting for messages inside Telegram and easier authentication for web apps. Small additions on paper, but the kind of quiet platform upgrades that make building on Telegram feel more serious.

As a team that's been building inside the Telegram ecosystem for over two years, we notice these things. The past two months went into speed: page transitions, image loading, the splash screen on open. A lot of small things rebuilt at once. If you haven't opened Chance🍀 in a while, it's a different experience.

But the bigger news is separate from Telegram entirely.

app.chance.tg is now live as a full PWA. A standalone web app that works completely outside of Telegram, for anyone who doesn't use the platform or simply prefers a browser. Same game, same $CHANCE, no Telegram required. This is something we committed to at the start of 2026. It's done.

The World Cup 🏆 is inside both. Pick a match outcome, stake $CHANCE, collect after the final whistle. Group stage is running now. Knockouts start July 4.

And one more thing. A sponsor, reached out and sponsored a Telegram NFT as a prize inside Chance🍀: t.me/nft/ViceCream-135056

For a long time, every prize in Chance🍀 was funded by us. This is the first one that wasn't. That matters more than it might look. It means people and projects are starting to notice what we've built. We're genuinely glad.

Chance🍀 is no longer just a mini-app. 🍀
