According to The Block, Walt has launched a standalone app, expanding its crypto investment platform beyond Telegram for the first time. Walt changed its name from Wallet in Telegram on September 28, saying the product had grown beyond its original wallet functionality. The company said existing users can log in with their Telegram accounts, while new users can sign up through Telegram, Google, or Apple; the original Telegram product remains accessible through the same account. According to a statement, its website lists more than 200 cryptocurrencies, over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, and perpetual contracts tied to crypto, metals, and energy; the platform also offers yield products for assets including stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum (ETH), and Tron. Walt CEO Andrew Rogozov said in a statement that Walt started as a simple bot for buying crypto and has become a full-fledged investment platform used by millions. According to its website, Walt users can send crypto to other Telegram users for free; on-chain transactions to external wallets incur standard blockchain network fees plus a service fee. For example, sending any amount of USDT to an external address on the TON network costs 1 USDT. Before the standalone app launch, Walt introduced AI-assisted perpetual contract trading through Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude on October 20; Walt said at the time that order execution was disabled by default and that agents could not withdraw or transfer funds.
