Developer Stories (5)

With over 950 million active users*, Telegram has evolved into a hub for onchain activities offering developers access to a fast growing audience . Telegram represents a goldmine for developers looking to scale their dApps to an engaged user base via Telegram mini apps.

With the ever increasing number of decentralised exchanges (DEXs), tokens, and blockchains, it's not easy finding the hottest tokens and securing the best price by consolidating liquidity across chains. To find the best price from thousands of digital asset opportunities, you need a DEX aggregator. A DEX aggregator consolidates liquidity from multiple DEXs, enabling users to access better pricing, reduced transaction costs, and a simplified trading experience across many platforms and blockchains.

As blockchain ecosystems become more diverse and multi-chain deployments become more essential, it's making dApp development more complex and costly. Background: What is a Wallet API? Wallet API is a set of programming interfaces that allow developers to build new wallets or integrate on-chain data and transaction management functionalities into their dApps. These APIs enable dApps to manage crypto assets, perform transactions, and access blockchain data focusing on wallet activities. With wallet API, developers can build and scale dApps with better access to on-chain data across different chains, including but not limited to multi-chain wallets, portfolio trackers, data dashboards, or user analytics tools in social-fi projects, and large-scale address management tools.

Ethereum is the world's largest chain in terms of TVL and loved by many buidlers around the world. In the future, with the advancement of Eth2 and Layer 2 solutions, it will continue to lead and shape the future of crypto. Justin Drake, a key member of the Ethereum Foundation, plays a crucial role in the development and implementation of Eth2, commonly known as Eth2. He has not only advanced the technology behind Ethereum, but also brought forward innovations and insights to the entire crypto community.

TON (The Open Network) is pushing the potential of blockchain technology to new heights. Originally developed by the Telegram Messenger development team and later taken over by the community, TON aims to build a fast, secure, and scalable blockchain network. As a cutting-edge blockchain project, TON has attracted numerous developers and users with its high performance and flexibility, particularly with its potential to reach millions of TPS. With the continuous growth of its ecosystem and ongoing technological iterations, TON is poised to become a significant player in crypto space, promoting the adoption and development of decentralized applications in the future. It is worth noting that on September 6, 2024, OKX Web3 officially launched its new App Connect protocol, with current support for the TON ecosystem and upcoming expansion to popular networks such as EVM and Solana. This upgrade enables developers to seamlessly access the OKX App wallet directly via the Telegram Mini App for signing transactions and other DApp interactions. By integrating with App Connect, developers can efficiently build their own DApps on TON and Telegram, streamlining the development process and laying the groundwork for a more robust Web3 ecosystem. This issue is the second in the "Developer Stories" series, providing insights into the TON world from the perspectives of TON core developers and the OKX Web3 technical team. The topics covered in this issue include TON's technological advancements, developer support, community governance, ecosystem security, and more, aiming to understand the insights and plans of TON core developers from a deep level.
