Triangle: A builder’s community accelerating TON & Telegram

Triangle was born from a simple yet powerful vision: uniting a global community of builders and creating a platform where their revolutionary ideas can shine. At its core, Triangle is a collective of passionate crypto enthusiasts dedicated to supporting their peers in building world-changing, borderless technology. To bring this vision to life, initial contributors from: Notcoin, Sign, and 1inch have teamed up to launch an accelerator program. This initiative is designed to help founders scale their projects to massive audiences, providing them with the mentorship and funding they need to succeed.

Triangle’s core focus is to offer projects Go-to-Market (GTM) services, investment opportunities, and personalized mentorship from some of the greatest minds in web3. The program will span six weeks culminating in a demo day with a variety of builders, ecosystem partners and VCs in attendance.

There are no specific requirements for projects wanting to be a part of Triangle. However, there are some cutting-edge topics that Triangle would be excited to see:

• Advanced TON Ecosystem Infrastructure: Build the backbone that supports and scales TON’s burgeoning ecosystem.
• Next-Gen User Experience: Craft seamless, intuitive interactions that elevate the TON platform’s user engagement.
• Liquidity Boosters: Develop mechanisms that enhance liquidity and drive market efficiency within the TON ecosystem.
• Mini-Apps Ecosystem Expansion: Fuel the growth of the mini-apps ecosystem, creating versatile and impactful applications.
• Web2 to Web3 Consumer Applications: Bridge the gap between traditional web applications and the decentralized future.
• Smart-Contract Development Libraries: Design robust libraries to streamline and accelerate smart-contract development.
• Collaborative DAO Innovations: Foster and accelerate collaboration through decentralized autonomous organizations.
• Revolutionary Network State Solutions: Innovate and redefine digital governance and community structures.

Resources and Support for Builders

TON Ecosystem Support

• Priority Launch on Community platform: Cohort members will receive access to Community platform, a premier launch platform in the TON ecosystem, known for successfully launching projects like STON.fi, DeDust.io, ton.diamonds, evaa protocol, storm trade and more.
• Notcoin Explore Campaigns: accelerate user adoption through engagement tools with over 40 million users, connecting Telegram audiences with web3 projects.
• Early Incubation: Early allows projects to engage with supporters for product testing, feedback, and growth.

Token Management with TokenTable

TokenTable is an on-chain token management platform that allows companies to conduct token sales, airdrops, vesting and unlocking. TokenTable will be offered as a resource to aid projects in managing their token requirements.

Omni-Chain Attestations with Sign Protocol

Sign Protocol is an omni-chain attestation protocol, enabling users to freely attest and verify any information on-chain. Attestations serve as a powerful methodology to implement sybil resistance in managing token sales/claims and will be working in tandem with TokenTable.

1inch is a DeFi ecosystem that helps users swap crypto assets. With an impressive track record of operating over $500 billion in trading volume and facilitating more than 100 million total swaps, 1inch’s experience is crucial in adopting the DeFi landscape within Telegram to make it accessible to over 900 million active users.
