The organizers of NFT.NYC featured Telegram Gifts and TON in their official promo video. In the heart of New York, on the main stage, we saw Jack Booth, Head of IP at TON, make his speech.
The main topic was TON as an infrastructure for next-gen digital collectibles.
“All conversations at NFTNYC2025 boil down to this: TON is the future of digital collectibles…” — Martin Mässer, TON Foundation
Telegram gifts are becoming part of the global agenda. TON is no longer just "Telegram’s alternative blockchain," but a contender for the global standard.
NFT.NYC is the world’s largest annual conference for NFTs and Web3. Since 2019, it has brought together tens of thousands of participants: from artists and collectors to top executives from Coinbase, OpenSea, Yuga Labs, and Polygon.
What's in it for TON and Telegram?
- Entry into the Western Web3 market with potential institutional participation
- Reaffirming TON as a platform not only for memes and farming, but also for digital ownership
- Establishing Telegram as a native Web3 UX environment, where users interact with collections seamlessly right in the chat
Telegram changed from a passive observer to become the new media platform for Web3. The ecosystem already includes Chimpers, Snoop Dogg, Pudgy Penguins, Azuki, doodleverse, Sappy Seals, Moonbirds, and even BAYC - all with their own Telegram channels and custom sticker packs.
That's not just a one-off collaboration, but a gradual migration of the Web3 community into Telegram - a space that already has users, distribution, and blockchain infrastructure via TON. Or in other words, a strategic entry into the U.S. market — whichever way you see it 😎
