Onramper x Wallet in Telegram: building the TON onboarding rails
We're working with Wallet in Telegram to make crypto onboarding easier for 900m users worldwide.
We're working with Wallet in Telegram to make crypto onboarding easier for 900m users worldwide.
By integrating the premier fiat-to-crypto aggregator, Wallet in Telegram has chosen the best solution for catering to a global audience with diverse payment method preferences and requirements.
Our stack features 19 onramps and 140+ payment methods, ensuring comprehensive and redundant global coverage for one of the biggest players in instant messaging. Its ultimate goal? To make crypto easily accessible to everyone, everywhere.
In our 2023 report, The three best-kept onramping secrets, we unveiled some alarming statistics about the failures of fiat-to-crypto swaps: even onramps that claim to offer global coverage have sub-1% success rates in countries they claim to support.
We attribute this to a lack of capacity in onramps, a lack of local payment method support, and an over-reliance on card payments. With our solution, these problems are addressed: more onramps means a greater range of local payment methods, meaning higher success rates for users across the world.
“I’m particularly excited about this partnership,” said Thijs Maas, CEO of Onramper. “We’re focused on mass adoption, which means streamlining the checkout process for crypto and non-crypto users alike. Wallet in Telegram caters to both of these audiences. Together, we have a tremendous opportunity to further adoption with an intelligent routing solution wrapped in a slick user experience.”
Thus far, we've played a pivotal role in evangelizing TON (and TON-based USDt) to our onramp partners, ensuring that as many paths into TON exist for as many users possible around the world — not just within Wallet, but on any major platform that supports these onramps.
Coinify, Guardarian, BTC Direct, TransFi, Onramp Money, Neocrypto and Alchemy Pay are among the onramps in the Onramper widget that support TON. Meanwhile, TON-based USDT is available via UTORG, Unlimit Crypto, Fonbnk, Banxa, Onramp Money, Neocrypto and Alchemy Pay. Unique payment methods for all onramps supporting TON include Apple Pay and Astropay.
“Working with Onramper provided us the opportunity to offer our users over one hundred payment methods with one single integration, accelerating our time to market and mitigating dev resources.” said Victor Mendes, Head of BD at Wallet in Telegram.
The Onramper widget — leveraged by the likes of Coinbase Wallet, Solflare and Exodus — blends a minimalist, intuitive UI with sophisticated routing engines that ensure users are always matched with the best onramp for their needs. On average, it delivers 2.5% more crypto to users than other solutions.
Crucially, our commitment to broadening access (via partnerships with a range of region-specific onramps) makes the stack an unparalleled offering for ushering in mass adoption.
“Telegram's expansive user base of 900 million worldwide underscores the importance of enabling fiat onramps in numerous countries and supporting diverse payment methods,” said Halil Mirakhmed, CSO at The Open Platform and Wallet. “Through the integration with Onramper, we aim to extend payment support to the majority of our valued customers.”
This partnership goes beyond the provision of a cutting-edge fiat-to-crypto onramp aggregator. Together, Onramper and Wallet in Telegram are meaningfully laying the groundwork for the growth of a vibrant Web3 community on one of this year’s most anticipated protocols.
With The Open Network (TON) gaining traction, Wallet in Telegram is uniquely positioned to onboard the next wave of crypto users. With 900m participants already in its ecosystem, the instant messaging titan has an unmatched opportunity to provide the rails into Web3 for millions around the globe, all through a Web 2.0 interface that they’re already familiar with.

Onramper Launches Chrome Extension to Compare Crypto Quotes From 30+ Providers Without Leaving the Page
Install in one click and see live quotes side by side in the browser’s side panel, with no analytics or tracking
Amsterdam, October 22, 2026 — Onramper, the fiat-to-crypto onramp aggregator, today launched a Chrome extension that puts crypto buying, selling and swapping in the browser’s side panel, so users can transact while staying on the page they’re already reading. The extension is available now on the Chrome Web Store.
Buying crypto usually means leaving the webpage you are on. People spot a token or an idea, then have to open a new tab and check provider after provider. The Onramper Chrome extension keeps those comparisons in the Chrome Side Panel. Users can see live quotes from over thirty licensed providers in one place, pick the option that suits them and check out. The panel stays open while they browse, so there are fewer steps between spotting something and buying it.
“Crypto has treated the on-ramp as a destination: a separate site, a separate tab, a separate decision. As the industry matures, buying has to happen where people already are, and with more providers and payment methods in every market, comparing them should not be a research project,” said Rick Thomas, Co-CEO of Onramper. “Putting that choice in the browser is how we make a fragmented market simpler to use.”
The Onramper extension is private by default, containing no analytics or tracking. Settings and saved wallets stay in the user’s browser, and cross-device sync is off unless the user turns it on. A single control in the settings menu can erase all extension data.
What users can do with the extension
- Buy crypto with cards, bank transfers and local payment methods
- Sell crypto and cash out to a bank account
- Swap tokens by connecting a wallet in a browser tab
- View prices in their local currency, selected automatically, with one-tap amount presets suited to that currency
- Save up to five wallet addresses under recognizable names and copy one at checkout in a click
Onramper compares quotes from licensed providers and routes the user to the one they choose. Onramper and the selected provider handle identity verification and payment at checkout. Onramper offers 170+ local payment methods, and available providers, payment methods and assets vary by country. The Onramper extension is available now for Chrome.

Guarda Wallet Integrates Onramper to Power Fiat to Crypto Access

We're excited to announce that Guarda Wallet has integrated Onramper.
Guarda Wallet is a non custodial, multi platform wallet supporting more than 70 blockchains and over 1 million assets. Founded in 2017, Guarda is available on desktop, web, mobile and browser extension–giving users full control of their private keys across every platform they use.
Onramper fiat purchasing is now live natively within Guarda Wallet on web and Android. Users can buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Litecoin, Dogecoin, TRON, and more directly inside the wallet, without needing to move funds elsewhere first.

"Guarda has always been about giving users real ownership of their assets across every chain that matters," said a spokesperson for Guarda Wallet. "Onramper makes the path from fiat to self custody faster and more accessible for our users worldwide."
"Guarda is exactly the kind of wallet Onramper is built for: broad chain coverage, a committed user base, and a genuine commitment to non custodial principles," said Rick Thomas, Co CEO of Onramper. "This integration puts a reliable fiat onramp in front of millions of self custody users from day one."
