🤿 How Quest Platforms Open the Door to Diving into the Ecosystem

In our previous post, we explored the concept of SBTs and their potential applications across various fields. However, to give a fuller understanding, it's important to discuss where you can obtain soulbound tokens. To do so, let's take a look at quest platforms.

👨‍🏫 In a nutshell, a quest platform is a bot where you complete various tasks to earn rewards. These rewards come in different formats, but most commonly, they are in-game points that can later be converted into NFTs, SBTs, or cryptocurrency.

🔍 Where to start quests on Telegram?

To begin exploring quest platforms, you can use Apps Center. Some applications regularly organize joint campaigns, such as BroBot Contests, which is currently collaborating with DeDust.io, and TBook, which is hosting the Late Night DeFi campaign. You can also begin through GemsWall, which offers a variety of opportunities and rewards, including SBTs, for users.

🤖 Quest bots provide an engaging way to approach the world of cryptocurrency and TON in particular, especially if you're unsure where to start. By completing tasks, you'll interact with the ecosystem and will undoubtedly find something new that captures your attention.

🛩 Bridging the Gap: How LayerZero Transforms TON’s Ecosystem

Recently, a new article appeared on blog.ton.org saying that blockchain’s true potential lies in the ability to connect—allowing assets, applications, and users to move freely across different ecosystems. Just a day later, a major step toward realizing this vision was made with the integration of the LayerZero protocol.

📝 The purpose of LayerZero:

In simple terms, it's a bridge that facilitates the exchange of data and assets between different blockchains. Among its key functions are making web3 applications accessible to users across various blockchains and ensuring that liquidity is fully available across all of them, rather than being split into separate pools.

🔗 Currently, TON is set to interact with 12 other blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and TRON, with the possibility of further expansion on the horizon.

One of the most compelling aspects of the integration is the seamless transfer of stablecoins across different blockchains. To enable this, Stargate, a transport omnichain protocol, was announced.

📚 USDt-TON is already being actively used in Telegram Mini Apps, playing a key role in the growth of DeFi on TON. With developers now equipped with all the tools necessary to build decentralized applications for a truly global audience, the question arises: will LayerZero further accelerate the development of new Mini Apps?

🏛 From Collateral to Profit: Mastering Lending Protocols on TON

With TON’s recent integration with the LayerZero protocol, interest in Blockchain and crypto trading is on the rise. But buying and selling isn’t the only way to engage with the market. Beyond staking, which we covered recently, there’s another key strategy—lending.

📚 What’s the core of lending?

Imagine you urgently need tokens — $TON, for example — but don’t want to exchange your other savings for them. To avoid selling those assets and to retain the tokens, you can use them as collateral, borrowing $TON at an interest rate.

Lending also works the other way around — you can take on the role of an investor. In this case, you lend your funds to a platform in exchange for interest, while the platform manages them as needed, whether to boost liquidity, issue loans, or support margin trading.

For lenders, this approach offers significant benefits — their cryptocurrency doesn’t just sit idle in a wallet but actively generates passive income.

💎 Lending protocols on TON:

You don’t have to look far to try out lending — it’s available right in our Apps Center. One such platform is EVAA Protocol, which not only offers fair interest rates that adjust to market demand and supply but also ensures lender security with an automatic liquidation system for under-collateralized loans.

📭 When exploring web3, it's important to stay informed and adaptable. We’ll help you stay updated and make the most of the opportunities it offers.

📚 How to Add Your Mini App to Telegram: A Step-by-Step Guide

We often write about the diverse range of Mini Apps available in our Apps Center, but we've never touched on a key question — how do they get there? In this post, we’ll fill in the gaps and give you a clear, concise answer.

📖 The first thing to consider when adding your app is whether it complies with the Terms and Conditions of the Telegram Apps Center. Here are some of the key requirements:

- Mini App exclusively uses the TON Blockchain (applies only to web3 projects; web2 projects can still function without TON or any blockchain)
- Mini App interfaces with cryptocurrency wallets with the TON Connect SDK

Also, if your application is a Mini App, keep in mind to integrate it with Telegram Mini Apps Analytics SDK. Setting up analytics is quick and straightforward — just head to @DataChief_bot, follow the simple steps, and get your unique Analytics ID in no time.

🔍 If everything checks out at this stage, you can move on to the next steps in the process:

To begin, open @app_moderation_bot, as your main point of interaction. Provide the full link to your Mini App (e.g., https://t.iss.one/tapps/center) and enter the Analytics ID from @DataChief_bot. Create a short subtitle (up to 60 characters, no emojis or formatting) and write a full description in English. Then, submit several app screenshots along with an optional logo. Finally, verify all details are correct and confirm completion to have your app appear in Apps Center.

📨 That's it! Now, all that’s left is to wait for your project to be reviewed (the status will be displayed in the same chat) and added to Apps Center. If you followed all the requirements and guidelines from the start, there should be no issues with approval.

🔥 The main advantage of Apps Center is that it's a central hub of Mini Apps in Telegram, one of the world’s most popular messengers, which provides your application with the opportunity to be seen by a vast audience.
