Seven projects have been selected for the first cohort of our $10 million Telegram Growth Hub, jointly launched by our venture capital arm OKX Ventures, The Open Platform (TOP) and Folius Ventures.
Each project aims to build practical applications on TON, leveraging its infrastructure and Telegram's extensive user base. Here's what they're working on:
Real-world utility
ShareX: Building a sharing economy framework starting with power banks, using their Deshare Protocol to bring real-world assets onto TON
Up Network: Creating ambient intelligence solutions for decentralized physical infrastructure, supported by Borderless and Animoca
Trading and financial infrastructure
Zoo Finance INL: Introducing Liquid Node Tokens (LNT) to standardize node ownership and trading, backed by CMS Holdings and Signum Capital
Social experiences and gaming
Aria: Developing a gaming ecosystem on TON, supported by Folius Ventures and Galaxy Interactive
Heyo: Creating location-based social experiences
Metya: Building a next-generation dating platform combining AI with DePIN
FunX: Building a platform for creative ideas and inspiring your passion for fun by introducing the mini-game 'Coin Wars'
The selected teams will participate in a comprehensive two-month acceleration program designed to fast-track their development on TON, benefiting from:
Capital for talent acquisition and community building
Access to our suite of developer resources, such as OKX Mini Wallet, a powerful new solution designed to streamline wallet integration for developers building on TON
Mentorship, guidance and networking from experts, marketing support and introductions to key stakeholders in the OKX, TOP and Folius Ventures networks
As teams progress through the program, we'll share updates on their development milestones and launches via our social and community channels. Applications remain open for future cohorts, welcoming developers who see potential in building practical blockchain applications on TON.
