On October 14, Bitlayer announced the launch of the Telegram Mini Apps integration tutorial to help developers quickly build Mini Apps based on Bitlayer. Through this convenient access method, developers can easily cover a wide range of user groups and effectively lower the threshold for using Web3, allowing 900 million Telegram users to seamlessly experience Bitlayer and the Bitcoin second-layer ecosystem.
Telegram has more than 900 million active users, its open ecosystem, and strong support for Mini Apps, making it an ideal platform for Web3 application integration. Through Bitlayer's integration tutorial, developers can quickly develop Mini Apps that interact with on-chain applications, and users can directly experience the functions of decentralized applications without leaving Telegram.
Bitcoin Layer2 technology releases Bitcoin's financial attributes. Through Layer2, users can not only enjoy Bitcoin's value investment function, but also participate in a variety of Bitcoin applications such as DeFi and payment. Bitcoin's second-layer solutions represented by Bitlayer reduce transaction costs, increase transaction speeds, and enhance the scalability of the Bitcoin network. The integration with Telegram will further bring the Bitcoin financial ecosystem into the world's mainstream social platforms, allowing ordinary users to easily access and try DeFi, especially Bitcoin's innovative applications.
Integrating blockchain technology with mainstream social platforms has far-reaching significance for promoting the popularization of Web3 applications. Through Telegram's Mini Apps integration, developers can not only directly reach a large number of users, but also increase the popularity and activity of decentralized applications through a lower development threshold.
Currently, UXUY Telegram Wallet and OKX Telegram Wallet already support Bitlayer. 900 million Telegram users can directly experience Bitcoin applications through UXUY Telegram Wallet and OKX Telegram Wallet and seamlessly explore the Bitlayer ecosystem.
You can view the Telegram Mini Apps integration tutorial launched by Bitlayer at this link and start building according to the development steps! In addition, Bitlayer also provides a complete demo project to further reduce the difficulty of development and allow you to deploy applications more quickly.
