Telegram planned to integrate TON based crypto wallet as early as 2019, however, the messaging app had to cut its ties with the blockchain foundation in 2020 after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against Telegram for its $1.7 billion initial coin offering (ICO) raise, deeming it as unregistered securities. The messaging platform settled with the SEC with a $18.5 million fine and a promise to pay back investors any unspent funds.

With renewed tie-up between the two firms, TON Foundation hope to build the Web3 infrastructure on the popular messaging platform. The creators of the project hope to end onboarding issues and create a gateway to crypto for all Telegram users.
