1INCH Joins Forces With Notcoin and Sign to Accelerate Growth of the Telegram & Ton Ecosystem

TON ecosystem is poised for an unprecedented surge in attention and growth, fueled by the immense audience captured by Telegram and the development of a native ecosystem that showcases novel use cases of Web3 technology.

To catalyze this growth, 1inch is joining forces with Notcoin and Sign to launch Triangle – a builder community and accelerator aimed at providing founders with the resources, guidance and community support to scale their ideas to a billion users.

Triangle’s incubator program aims to identify a select group of projects and offer them comprehensive support, including go-to-market (GTM) strategies, investment opportunities, and close mentorship to accelerate Telegram and TON ecosystems. This program will span six weeks, during which participants will engage with industry mentors such as:

Why 1inch is supporting Triangle

Key reason for 1inch joining this initiative is to bootstrap the development of mini dApps within Telegram using the 1inch Developer Portal. “The main goal is to give developers fast and efficient software solutions for creating new Web3 products,” says Anton Bukov, 1inch Сo-Founder. “We basically offer developers a set of Web3 building blocks, which allow them to substantially save on time, money and labor. All these solutions have been thoroughly tested in 1inch products since 2019.”
