The Open Network, a decentralized blockchain designed and created by Telegram, has announced the release of a crypto payment feature via Toncoin (TON).

Through Telegram’s new official ‘Wallet Bot’, users will be able to purchase cryptocurrencies with a bank card, then exchange and transfer them to other wallets. Apart from Toncoin, users can also send citcoin by clicking on the Wallet icon. Transactions made with Toncoins won’t have any gas or commission fees.

During the legal battle, Telegram gave control of the ‘Telegram Open Network’ and Toincoin to The Open Network, an open code community dedicated to developing Toncoin and associated blockchain.
