App Surfaces

One mini app.
Three surfaces of value.

App, wallet, and viral loop share the same identity, attribution, and payment layer. Pick what you need — they compose without rewrites.

Mini App

Full app inside the chat

A complete React app that runs natively inside Telegram. Theme-aware, haptics-enabled, with cloud storage and the back-button glued to the platform. Looks and feels like a first-party feature, not a webview.

  • Native theme + haptic feedback
  • Cloud storage and session sync
  • Bottom sheet + main button hooks
  • iOS, Android, Desktop, Web
Wallet

TON & multi-chain wallet flow

TonConnect out of the box, plus EVM and Solana adapters for cross-chain apps. Sign in once, sign and send from inside the chat. No browser hops, no QR dance.

  • TonConnect 2 with deep-linking
  • EVM (RainbowKit / WalletConnect) and Solana
  • Signed initData for server-side auth
  • Multi-wallet linking per user
Loop

Built-in distribution loop

Telegram is the viral layer. Referrals, inline sharing, channels, and bots all wire into the same mini app. Every action can become a share, every share can become a verified referral with attribution.

  • Inline share + start_param referrals
  • Bot ↔ mini app round-trips
  • Channel + group integrations
  • Verified referral graph with payout
Integration Engine

Telegram + TON,
wired correctly.

Mini apps fail when teams treat them as ordinary webviews. We wire auth from initData HMAC, payments through Stars and TonConnect, and viral loops through start_param the way Telegram intends. Native everywhere it matters.

Verified Auth

initData signed by Telegram, verified server-side via HMAC. No spoofed sessions, no cookie hacks — the user identity you see is the user identity Telegram saw.

TonConnect & Stars

Native Telegram Stars for fiat-rails monetization, TonConnect for onchain TON, plus EVM and Solana adapters for cross-chain. One flow, every payment rail.

Referral Graph

start_param-encoded referrers, signed by your backend, replayed into a verifiable graph. Multi-tier attribution, payouts per level, no spreadsheet glue.

Native Platform Hooks

MainButton, BackButton, haptics, themeParams, cloudStorage, and BiometricAuth wired correctly. Apps that feel like part of Telegram, not a tab in disguise.

miniapp.tstonconnect
import { MiniApp } from '@gizmolab/telegram';

const app = new MiniApp({
  botToken: process.env.TG_BOT_TOKEN,
  chains: ['ton', 'base', 'solana']
});

// Verify user from Telegram
const user = await app.auth.verifyInitData(initData);

// Charge in Stars or TON
await app.payments.invoice({
  user, amount: 25, currency: 'XTR',
  onPaid: '/api/credit'
});
Why Teams Pick This Stack

Native. Onchain.
Viral by design.

Native

Feels first-party

Telegram users can spot a webview from across the room. We design and build to platform: native nav, theme tokens, haptics, cloud storage, BackButton flow. Mini apps that disappear into the chat — in the right way.

  • Native theme + haptics + nav
  • MainButton / BackButton wiring
  • CloudStorage + biometric auth
  • iOS, Android, Desktop, Web
Onchain

TON-first, multi-chain real

TON is the natural chain for Telegram and we ship it natively — TonConnect, jettons, gas-aware UX. But many products need EVM and Solana too. Same identity, same payment layer, every chain that matters.

  • TonConnect 2 with deep-link UX
  • EVM + Solana adapters
  • Jetton & ERC-20 / SPL flows
  • Gas abstraction where possible
Viral

Distribution baked in

Telegram has no app store tax and no install friction. We wire referral graphs, inline share, channels, and bot bridges so growth is built into the product surface — not bolted on after launch.

  • start_param referral graph
  • Inline share + story-ready assets
  • Bot ↔ mini app round-trips
  • Channel & group automation

User Flow
  • Open from Mey bot or channel
  • Auth via Telegram + wallet
  • Complete quests + earn points
  • Climb tiered leaderboard
  • Claim drops without leaving chat
Platform Features

Everything a Telegram
product actually needs.

Telegram's platform is deeper than most teams realize. We ship the parts that move retention — not just a working webview.

Native Mobile UX

Theme-aware, gesture-aware, haptic-enabled. We use the platform — MainButton, BackButton, cloud storage, biometric auth — instead of building parallel UI from scratch.

Stars + Onchain Payments

Telegram Stars for global fiat rails, TonConnect for onchain TON, plus EVM and Solana for cross-chain. One checkout, every payment surface — including invoice flows for bot payouts.

Referral Graph & Viral Loops

start_param referrals signed server-side, replayed into a multi-tier graph. Built-in inline share, story-friendly assets, payout per tier, attribution you can audit.

Verified initData Auth

Identity comes signed by Telegram. We verify HMAC server-side and hand your backend a typed user object with no spoof surface. The same user across web, bot, and mini app.

Bot ↔ Mini App Bridge

Round-trip flows between your bot and mini app — start a job in chat, finish it in the app, push results back to the channel. Webhooks, inline keyboards, all wired through one SDK.

Operator Dashboard

A real console: users, sessions, payments, referrals, errors, retention. Real-time funnel, cohort views, and CSV / warehouse export — not a black-box growth tool.

Getting Started

Four steps.
Live in 2–4 weeks.

Most teams have a working mini app in front of real users inside a month. Bring an audience, leave with a native Telegram product.

01→ NEXT

Scope the surface

We map your goals to a mini app shape — game loop, wallet flow, community surface, or all three. Decide what runs in-chat, what stays in the bot.

02→ NEXT

Wire the platform

TonConnect, Stars, initData auth, cloud storage, native nav. We set up the platform primitives first so the rest of the build can move fast.

03→ NEXT

Ship the product

Frontend, backend, smart contracts where needed. Daily preview links inside Telegram so stakeholders can feel the app, not just see screenshots.

04

Distribute & iterate

Launch through your bot, channel, and partner network. Referral graph live from day one. Weekly cohort reports until the loop is humming.

Telegram Mini App FAQ

Answers for teams evaluating Telegram Mini App development.

What does a Telegram mini app development project include?

Most projects combine product UX, Telegram initData auth, bot and mini app routing, wallet or payment setup, analytics, and the backend services needed to run growth or transaction flows reliably.

Can you support TON and other wallet ecosystems in one mini app?

Yes. We typically design around TON-first user journeys for Telegram while connecting EVM or Solana flows when the product needs broader asset support or cross-chain actions.

How do Telegram mini apps help user acquisition?

Telegram mini apps reduce install friction and let teams connect referral links, bot prompts, channels, and reward loops to one in-chat product journey, which improves attribution and lowers activation steps.
