Layer 1s become faster, wallets evolve to be more user-friendly, TVLs grow, and protocols release version by version. But with all these advancements, a fair question arises: Where is the mass adoption of crypto?

When a platform claims it will bring the next billion users on-chain, it implies it either possesses this user base or has a strategy to attract them. For instance, Facebook took 8.7 years to gain a billion users. In contrast, Facebook Messenger, leveraging Facebook’s existing user base, achieved this in just 4.9 years. It’s clearly faster to get this traction if you already have acquired the auditory to build on top of.

Now, consider the Top 10 Apps with at least 100 million of users:

Among them, only Telegram is publicly active in the space of crypto integrations as of 2023. Now we’re getting closer.

Here we go. TON. The Open Network for creators, startups, gamers, crypto ninjas, for everyone.

Telegram’s journey with crypto, starting with the GRAM project in 2017, faced challenges, especially with the SEC. However, the technical aspects were open-sourced and embraced by the community, leading to the birth of TON. Today, TON’s growth trajectory is comparable to a rocket, ranking #11 on CoinMarketCap at the time of writing.

With Telegram having more than 800 million users (which doubled from 400 million in the last 3 years), and TON Foundation’s goal to onboard 30% of active Telegram users within the next 3–5 years, the potential for mass adoption is unbelievable.

If you’ve read up to this point, there’s a good chance you believe that a claim “to bring the next billion users” with projects like Telegram & TON is worth considering.

Let’s get back to mass adoption. What do we expect from this big user base? Something that crypto made possible is independent self-sustainable economies that completely change the way businesses of any size could function, fundraise, and bring value.

Tokenova is a project that is making the launch of those economies extremely simple and practical. With the advantage of TON and Telegram’s combined efforts, the barrier to token usage has been significantly lowered, paving the way for businesses of all sizes to harness the power of tokens.

In TON ecosystem, these fungible tokens are termed “Jettons.” As you familiarize yourself with this term, know that it’s set to revolutionize the world.

Tokenova is at the forefront of this change, streamlining the management of a Jetton throughout its lifecycle. It offers a no-code solution for initiating and sustaining your project’s tokenomics. Moreover, Tokenova provides tools that allow businesses to derive immediate utility after token launch — be it accepting Jettons as payment or enabling user-to-user Jetton transfers, all backed by real-time analytics.
