He also announced that TONX would partner with the TON Foundation to sponsor Asia's largest TON event, The Open Summit (TON International Summit), which will be held from August 6 to 8 at the ++Asia Blockchain Summit++ venue.
The collaboration between Telegram and TON presents vast business opportunities and unlimited potential, with Telegram providing a user base of over 900 million, while the TON blockchain offers robust infrastructure support. This synergy makes accessing Mini App games through Telegram simple and enjoyable, perfectly aligning with the preferences of Telegram users. With Telegram's large user base bringing immense opportunities and limitless potential, TON recently surged to $7.8 on June 5, setting a new historical high and nearing the position of the ninth-largest token.
The bootcamp lasted three days, aimed at cultivating developers' professional development skills in building TON Web3 within the Telegram ecosystem. The event invited members of the TON core development team, official members of the TON Foundation, and renowned experts in the blockchain field to serve as mentors, accompanying project teams throughout the ideation and enhancement of project quality. Participants had the opportunity to gain in-depth insights into the business opportunities and unlimited potential behind Telegram's global user base of 900 million, and had the chance to submit their projects to The Open League Hackathon for a chance to win up to $2 million in rewards.
In addition to technical training, the bootcamp provided rich social and networking opportunities, allowing participants to interact and exchange ideas with industry experts and other developers, expanding their understanding and collaboration opportunities.
The TONX Accelerator Program ultimately received over 70 applications, and after a rigorous selection process, Catizen became the first team selected for the accelerator program. Catizen is a blockchain GameFi project created by David Mak and Pierce Tam, the founders of Pluto Studio, which has achieved remarkable success on the TON chain, attracting over 12 million players and processing over 13 million transactions.
The TONX Accelerator Program will provide Catizen with potential investments from TON Ventures, TONX, and venture capital partners of the accelerator program, as well as market, technical, and business support to help Catizen expand globally.
