⚡ Is Telegram preparing to restart the crypto ecosystem? What's going on with Wallet and what does Gram have to do with it

While everyone is following the schedules, Telegram is preparing a large-scale update. According to Durov's Code and ChainCatcher channels, in the expected version 13.0 we can see cardinal changes in the built-in services of the messenger.

We analyze what is happening and what to prepare for 👇

1️⃣ Wallet turns into Walt

The usual wallet ⁠@wallet⁠ goes through rebranding and change of deployment:

New name: the service has been renamed to Walt.

New home: the wallet has been transferred from the Telegram system settings section directly to the Mini Apps interface.

The main thing for users: all accounts, balances and assets remain completely safe. The changes are architectural and interface in nature.
💡 Why do you need it? Transferring the wallet to the Mini App format makes its integration with Web3 games and DeFi services within Telegram even more seamless.
2️⃣ Return of the legend: Gram Wallet?

The most intriguing news is the possible appearance of Gram Wallet. At the moment, the service is not yet available to users, but the very mention of this brand causes nostalgia among crypto enthusiasts.

Recall that initially it was Gram that was supposed to become the basic token of the TON ecosystem before the intervention of American regulators. It seems that the Telegram team is preparing something interesting for a new stage of development of its crypto infrastructure.
