Introduction
Instant messaging app Telegram is now a hotbed for all crypto projects seeking to make their mark in mass adoption. The hundreds of tap-to-earn games launching on that platform has attracted millions of new users to blockchain technology. BNB chain has similar goals of onboarding the masses to web3 and thus, it has seen Telegram as another vehicle to carry that objective.
In order to onboard more people and also tap into the millions of users already on Telegram, BNB chain has joined the other countless portal apps that deployed on Telegram. With such presence, the blockchain hopes to build a mobile userbase that enjoys the simplified user experience ushered by Telegram blockchain bots and mini-apps. This is a gateway towards mass adoption since the masses are already by attracted to Telegram.
Targeting the masses with mobile wallets
Telegram is a common app which makes it a step ahead when it comes to crypto onboarding. All over the world, millions of people already use the messaging app to stay in touch with friends. Its a familiar app. Now when the same app is being used to earn tokens, play games, interact with blockchains or even transfer tokens, it makes adoption very easy and natural.
The BNB chain like other projects are trying to build from the known to the known. With a Telegram mini wallet to store BNB and other tokens supported on their blockchain, it creates another massive avenue to onboard new users. The quick and easy accessibility of Telegram mini apps makes BNB blockchain adoption less cumbersome. New users will not be required to install yet another wallet app to fill up their device space. From Telegram which is an existing app on their device, everything becomes so easy to do.
BNB chain has at least two Telegram mini wallets through which this integration works. The apps are UXUY Wallet which allows users to manage all tokens supported by the BNB chain. CodexField Wallet is yet another bot that allows users the opportunity to interact with the BNB chain straight from Telegram app. Lets take a quick look at one of them.
