Additionally, TON’s scalability positions it to handle transactions for millions of users efficiently. Pantera Capital also cited the ease with which users can onboard to TON through Telegram’s built-in Wallet, enabling seamless interaction with mini-apps within the Telegram ecosystem.

The thriving mini-app ecosystem on Telegram was another key factor for Pantera. Over 360 million users engage with Telegram’s mini-apps monthly, indicating a significant user base primed to explore TON’s potential.

Pantera Capital views TON as a project in its early stages and expresses optimism for the future. They anticipate the Telegram user base to drive significant adoption of the TON ecosystem and its upcoming features.
