Telegram Wallet revolutionizes access to DeFi strategies on TON: Vaults now available for BTC, ETH, and USDT

Wallet in Telegram, the digital asset management platform natively integrated into the messaging app, has announced a new feature that promises to change the way millions of users approach decentralized finance (DeFi).

From today, TON Wallet users can not only hold and send bitcoin, ethereum, and USDT, but also access onchain yield strategies directly from the Telegram interface, thanks to the introduction of new Vaults.

This evolution is made possible through collaboration with three key players in the DeFi ecosystem: Morpho, the lending network providing the foundational infrastructure; TAC, the EVM execution layer bringing Ethereum compatibility to TON; and Re7, a specialist in the creation and management of tokenized yield strategies.

TON Wallet: the bridge between advanced DeFi and mainstream users

The heart of innovation lies in the ability of TON Wallet to break down the barriers that traditionally separate the most sophisticated DeFi strategies from the average user. Thanks to the integration of Vaults, anyone using Telegram—a platform with over a billion active users—can now take advantage of the yield opportunities offered by bitcoin, ethereum, and USDT without leaving the app.

This self-custodial solution allows users to maintain full control of their assets, while institutional-grade DeFi infrastructures operate in the background to generate yield. Specifically, the USDT Vaults offer diversified strategies based on risk and return profiles, with options reaching up to an 18% APY thanks to strategies curated by Re7. ETH and BTC also now benefit from yield functionalities, expanding the range of possibilities for those holding these assets.

The Arrival of wETH and cbBTC: Ethereum and Bitcoin Liquidity on TON

Another fundamental step was the introduction, at the beginning of the month, of wrapped Ethereum (wETH) and cbBTC (bitcoin tokenized by Coinbase) on TON Wallet. These assets, brought to TON via TAC, represent the first true opening of the blockchain to two of the most important assets in the crypto landscape.
Thanks to this integration, the liquidity of ethereum and bitcoin can now flow natively within the TON ecosystem, allowing users to benefit from the most advanced DeFi strategies without facing technical complexities or external custody risks.

A Shared Vision: Making DeFi Universal

According to Andrew Rogozov, founder and CEO of The Open Platform (TOP) and Wallet in Telegram, the mission is clear: “Transform digital assets from complex concepts into practical tools for everyday life.” The integration of Vaults represents a decisive step towards the democratization of DeFi, making yield strategies accessible that until yesterday were the preserve of expert or institutional users.

Paul Frambot, co-founder and CEO of Morpho, also emphasizes the importance of this collaboration: “The TON ecosystem offers an unprecedented opportunity to bring onchain finance to millions of users. The integration of Morpho directly into Wallet in Telegram demonstrates how DeFi infrastructure can achieve massive scale when incorporated into everyday products.”

Pavel Altukhov, CEO of TAC, highlights how EVM compatibility allows Ethereum protocols and assets to operate natively on TON, expanding the reach of DeFi applications and connecting the blockchain to an unprecedented global user base.

Re7: yield strategies for everyone

Re7 plays a crucial role in the design and oversight of yield strategies available in the Vaults. As stated by Evgeny Gokhberg, founder of Re7, “The launch of BTC, ETH, and USDT Vaults in TON Wallet directly from Telegram marks a significant milestone in our journey. We are expanding access to onchain yield opportunities that were previously reserved for more advanced users.”

Upcoming Developments: Native Deposits and Simplified Cross-Chain Transfers

Looking to the future, Wallet in Telegram plans to introduce the ability to directly deposit native bitcoin and ethereum into TON Wallet. Once deposited, these assets will automatically be represented as cbBTC and wETH, simplifying cross-chain transfers and further expanding their utility within the TON and Telegram ecosystem. All while maintaining a fully onchain and self-custodial experience, without compromising on security or asset ownership.

Wallet in Telegram: an exponentially growing platform

Wallet in Telegram stands out as one of the most innovative and accessible solutions for managing digital assets. With over 150 million registered users, the platform offers a dual wallet experience: the multi-chain Crypto Wallet for trading and sending crypto to contacts, and the self-custodial TON Wallet, a gateway to the TON ecosystem and its dApps.

Morpho, TAC, and Re7: the technological pillars of integration

1. Morpho is a universal lending network with over 10 billion dollars in deposits, enabling businesses and users to access lending and yield solutions on a global scale.
2. TAC represents the EVM execution layer of TON, enabling compatibility with Ethereum dApps and protocols without the need for modifications to smart contracts.
3. Re7 Labs is a curator of DeFi strategies, pioneering the development of tokenized yield products accessible to a global audience.

A Future Where DeFi Truly is for Everyone

The integration of Vaults for BTC, ETH, and USDT in TON Wallet marks a turning point for the mass adoption of decentralized finance. Thanks to a combination of advanced infrastructure and a familiar interface, Wallet in Telegram finally makes it possible for millions of people to access onchain yield strategies in a simple, secure, and transparent manner. A decisive step towards truly universal DeFi, accessible to everyone.
