Services

Telegram Web3 applications (Mini Apps)

Full applications and Web3 ecosystems inside the messenger.

Timeline
from 4 weeks

What it is for

Launching fully interactive applications and ecosystems directly inside Telegram (crypto wallets, GameFi projects, decentralised services) that give users instant access without downloading third-party software.

How we do it

We design interfaces in the Telegram Mini Apps (TMA) format, connect smart contracts, blockchain protocols (TON, Ethereum and others) and Web3 authentication, and integrate payment rails and gamification mechanics.

Telegram Mini Apps remove the most expensive step in the funnel — installing an app. But the winner is not whoever ships a WebView into the messenger first; it is whoever thought through the economics and the retention loop.

What you get

What you get

  • Prototype and design following native Telegram patterns (theme, haptics, safe area)
  • Mini App client in React supporting the messenger's light and dark themes
  • Backend with initData validation and protection against user spoofing
  • Web3 authentication and wallet connection (TON Connect, WalletConnect)
  • Smart-contract integration and the project's internal economy
  • Payments: Telegram Stars, crypto, card acquiring
  • Gamification: quests, streaks, referral programme, leaderboards

Technology

  • Telegram Mini Apps SDK
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • TON / TON Connect
  • Ethereum / EVM
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis

Stages

Stages

  1. Product mechanics

    We work through the economics first — what the user pays for, what keeps them, where virality comes from. Without this a Mini App is just an expensive landing page.

  2. Design definition

    Flows, states, offline and slow-network handling. We account for WebView limits and the differences between the iOS and Android clients.

  3. Visual design

    An interface in native Telegram patterns — messenger theme, MainButton, BackButton, haptic feedback.

  4. Build

    Client and API, server-side initData validation, idempotent balance operations, and protection against race conditions in payouts.

  5. Blockchain layer

    Wallet connection, contract calls, and handling of unconfirmed transactions and chain reorganisations.

  6. Launch and analytics

    Funnel metrics, cohort retention, onboarding A/B tests and anti-fraud on the referral programme.

FAQ

Why a Mini App instead of a mobile app?

No install barrier, no store review, and no 15–30% store commission. The user is already in Telegram, so the path from link to first action takes seconds. For services used often and briefly, that is a step change in conversion to first action.

Can it take payments?

Yes: Telegram Stars, crypto through a connected wallet, and ordinary card acquiring through a payment provider. The choice depends on jurisdiction and monetisation model.

How secure is it?

The rule is that the server never trusts the client. User data arrives in initData signed with the bot token and is verified on the backend; balance operations are idempotent and protected against replay.

Is a blockchain required?

No. A Mini App works perfectly well as an ordinary service: bookings, catalogue, account, payment. We add the Web3 layer only where it solves a real problem.
