Bitget Wallet Launches 'OmniConnect' to Expand Telegram Mini-Apps Beyond TON

New SDK allows developers to connect Telegram Mini-Apps to Solana, TON, and EVM-compatible chains, enhancing multichain accessibility.

Bitget Wallet, a leading Web3 non-custodial wallet, has announced the launch of OmniConnect, a revolutionary software development kit (SDK) designed to expand the functionality of Telegram Mini-Apps across multiple blockchain ecosystems. With this new technology, developers can now connect Telegram’s Mini-Apps not only to the TON network but also to other major blockchains such as Solana and all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains, significantly broadening the range of services available within the Telegram platform.

Previously, Telegram Mini-Apps were confined to interactions within the TON network. With the introduction of OmniConnect, Bitget aims to provide a seamless experience for Telegram’s vast user base—estimated at over one billion people—by enabling them to interact with multiple blockchains effortlessly. “OmniConnect offers over a billion Telegram users and developers a seamless way to interact with multiple blockchains,” said the Bitget team in a statement.

Bitget’s launch of this SDK signals an important shift in how decentralized applications (dapps) and blockchain technologies can be integrated with popular messaging platforms like Telegram. This move opens the door for a new wave of decentralized applications, all accessible from within a familiar social app.

When asked whether developers need explicit permission from Telegram to create these applications, Bitget clarified, “Developers who want to create apps (like Mini-Apps or Bots) for Telegram do not need explicit permission from Telegram, making it a permissionless process in many cases.” While developers are free to build and launch apps using Telegram’s APIs and SDKs, larger-scale integrations—such as getting featured in Telegram’s Web Apps directory—may require following certain approval guidelines.

OmniConnect’s launch also signals a departure from relying exclusively on the TON blockchain for Telegram-related projects. Now, with multichain support, developers can build decentralized applications that function across several blockchain platforms. “Yes, developers can now create dapps that support multiple blockchains using our OmniConnect SDK, rather than relying solely on TON. This broadens the range of services and utilities available within Telegram,” Bitget confirmed.

At this early stage, no official partners or mini-apps have yet gone live using the new SDK. However, Bitget remains optimistic about future collaborations. “We just launched it yesterday, and there isn’t a partner product officially using the SDK yet, but we’re confident that will change soon,” the team added.

The introduction of OmniConnect represents a significant advancement in the integration of blockchain technologies with mainstream communication platforms. By allowing seamless connections between Telegram and various blockchains, Bitget is paving the way for decentralized applications to reach broader audiences, making blockchain-based utilities more accessible to everyday users.

As the blockchain ecosystem continues to grow, innovations like OmniConnect are crucial for expanding the reach and functionality of decentralized finance (DeFi) and other blockchain-based applications. With OmniConnect, developers have the opportunity to create more dynamic and multichain-friendly dapps that could reshape how users interact with decentralized services directly from Telegram, signaling a new era of Web3 interaction.
