Telegram has released version 13.0, and the built-in wallet is already part of the new app line. The update is available on Android and iOS, but Telegram Wallet is still switched off by software. So the code is there. The button is not fully open yet.
🔝 What changed
⚫️ Telegram 13.0 is now rolling out on Android and iOS
⚫️ The update includes the new built-in wallet infrastructure
⚫️ The old Wallet era is already over after the Walt rebrand
⚫️ Telegram Wallet is still disabled for users at the software level
⚫️ The next step is likely gradual activation for a wider audience
🔝 Why it matters
⚫️ Gram Wallet is no longer just a promise from Durov’s posts
⚫️ It is now sitting inside the actual Telegram client line
⚫️ Telegram can turn access on gradually without forcing another big app update
⚫️ That gives the team room to test load, UX and edge cases before opening the gates
⚫️ For TON, this is the final waiting room before Telegram-scale wallet distribution
The wallet is already in the app. Now Telegram just needs to flip the switch. And when it does, TON stops waiting for users to come from crypto — it gets them straight from Telegram.
