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.
