Check out our new report "GameFi and User Monetization". The report highlights common monetization sources in GameFi dApps and explores the potential for new revenue streams. Here are the key takeaways:
- Popular monetization sources range from Play-to-Earn modes, in-game purchases, and NFTs to integration with traditional gaming and gaming investment funds.
- Future revenue streams could come from integrating SocialFI mechanics, hosting e-sport competitions, or implementing GameFi in traditional education and training models through blockchain gaming.
- TON & Telegram offer a unique advantage for GameFi dApps: seamless transactional experience, minimal compliance constraints, and the ability to seamlessly exchange Web3 assets with other users in Telegram's chat interface. However, the convergence of Telegram and GameFi projects remains a challenge that the community needs to address.

How to achieve EVM compatibility in non-EVM blockchains? Find out in our new report.
Key takeaways:
- The most commercially successful cases of bringing EVM capabilities to non-EVM compatible blockchains are Aurora (a smart contact on NEAR that executes an EVM code), Moonbeam (a parachain on Polkadot) and Kava (a sidechain on Cosmos). Lido on Solana, which made up 19.2% of Solana’s TVL, is also a notable case, however, the transfer of Lido to Solana did not involve any solutions for EVM compatibility.
- Developing a workchain built on the EVM to support Solidity smart contracts appears to be the most feasible approach for TON, enabling Ethereum-based dApps to be deployed on TON, while utilizing TON’s unique “blockchain of blockchains” structure.
- Implementation strategies may include adopting an independent blockchain as an internal EVM compatible workchain (possibly with acquisition) or partnering with a provider of L2 solutions to build an alternative solution, such as a rollup. These are the strategies implemented by other blockchains, such as Venom (acquisition of Everscale) or Cardano and Algorand (partnership with Milkomeda).

The 7-fold increase in TVL on TON-based DEXs, fueled by the memecoin hype and The Open League marked Q1 2024. Designed as a gamified competition to showcase the best TON projects and promote user retention, The Open League's Pilot Season was centered around an incentives campaign held on DEXs that featured boosted pools, resulting in the tripling of TVL on TON. Prior to this, a dramatic surge in the popularity of jetton trading brought trading volumes on STON.fi and DeDust to the new all-time highs that were continuously renewed throughout Q1 2024.
DEX performance, along with liquid staking—which remains a dominant segment of TON DeFi with over 70% of TVL share—propelled TON into the top-20 chains by TVL, with significant contribution from Tonstakers, the largest liquid staking protocol on TON. Learn more about:
- What was the Pilot Season about and how you can earn rewards with The Open League now
- The rise of jetton trading on TON that propelled the combined 24H trading volume on STON.fi and DeDust from less than $1M at the beginning of the quarter to $30M+ by the end

Real-World Asset Tokenization in Q2 2024: Institutions Drive Market, DeFi Scales
Real-World Assets (RWAs) became the second-largest digital asset narrative in Q2 2024, accounting for 11% of web traffic among narratives tracked by CoinGecko. The segment, mostly dormant throughout the second half of 2023, experienced many false starts due to technical, regulatory, and market challenges but was eventually revitalized by strategic moves from major institutions like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Tokenized fixed-income instruments, including bonds, loans, and yield-bearing stablecoins pushed by these institutions, may represent the first wave of RWA adoption. This wave is characterized by the leadership of TradFi institutions and the supporting, scaling role of DeFi protocols.
As we explore less mature segments of RWA tokenization, the report highlights specialized platforms like RealT, which have found success by focusing on niche markets. Our discussion also extends to future waves of adoption, considering how the regulatory landscape will shape opportunities for blockchains like TON to pioneer new markets and drive further innovation in the DeFi space.

Seamless Decentralized Payments With W5: Everything You Need to Know
Consider the basic onboarding challenge for new users in any blockchain ecosystem: Sending or receiving USDt typically requires holding the native token (e.g., TON) to cover transaction fees. This adds complexity and an extra step that can deter newcomers from using blockchain services.
To address this, Tonkeeper has introduced W5, a new wallet standard for gasless transactions. With W5, users can cover gas fees using the same token being transferred, eliminating the need to manage multiple tokens and making blockchain interactions as simpler and accessible as traditional P2P payments.
Learn more about how W5 brings TON closer to mass adoption in our new article.

Web3 Traffic Shift: Integrating & Monetizing Users on Web2 Platforms
Initially driven by ideals of full decentralization, privacy, and disrupting traditional systems, Web3 has struggled to provide practical, user-friendly applications that meet mainstream needs. This lack of a unified, compelling narrative for mass adoption has resulted in stagnation in user growth and insufficient liquidity within the ecosystems. The market now demands more accessible, user-centric models that integrate seamlessly with familiar Web2 environments like Telegram to drive broader adoption and engagement.
One way to address this stagnation is by facilitating a traffic shift from Web2 to Web3. Telegram is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge.
