Mini Apps: Today and Tomorrow

Telegram Mini Apps (TMA) is a convenient tool for launching various web applications inside Telegram messenger. An effective and variable way to communicate with any type of audience.

In this article, our team will break down the present and future trends of the emerging mini apps market.

Telegram Mini Apps today

In 2024, Telegram Mini Apps received the unofficial status of «Telegram Bots replacement». During this time, the market has gradually evolved, gaining support from the official Telegram team and the messenger users themselves.

The following categories of applications occupy a special place in this ecosystem: GameFi, DeFi and Social Web3. — Today, these areas occupy approximately 80% of the entire Telegram Mini Apps market.

Today, projects from the GameFi category deserve special attention as they attract a huge audience in the TON blockchain ecosystem and the Telegram messenger itself.

GameFi

— Blockchain projects that allow users to earn as part of gameplay or direct tasks (disguised as games). 

This year's trend was a variety of clickers, whose earnings are based mainly on the overflow of a pre-prepared audience and the listing of their own token. Bright representatives: Notcoin, Blum, Hamster Kombat.

The future of GameFi in Telegram

It makes no sense to talk now about the process of creating your own klicker and making money on it, because in the near future the gaming sector of Telegram Mini Apps will be greatly modified. — This was recently announced by TON Foundation representatives themselves. 

Starting August 9, the Cocos Studio team started working on creating their own platform that will allow developers to create new games inside Telegram in one click!

In addition, a game analyst from Tencent reported that more than 200 game studios in Asia have started developing mini-games on the TON blockchain. 

If we combine these two news, it's not hard to realize that Telegram will soon have Premium games, which will help us create a real competition to Appstore and Google Play platforms!

Telegram Mini Apps tomorrow

We are sure that very soon the Telegram Mini Apps market will be enriched not only with Premium games, but also with strong international marketplaces. - This direction may become our next trend!

Analyzing the last hackathon from TON Foundation, we can understand that the ecosystem is already ready to support the development of this direction. However, to date, there are not so many worthy representatives!
