As TON continues to scale inside Telegram, the foundation behind the blockchain is fixing a less visible, but critical, piece of the puzzle: how money moves.
TON Foundation has chosen OpenPayd to power its global fiat operations, giving the organization a unified way to manage payments, currencies, and treasury activity across regions. The move comes as TON’s role inside Telegram’s Mini App ecosystem grows, now touching more than 1 billion monthly users.
Why TON Needed Stronger Fiat Infrastructure
TON powers Telegram’s Mini Apps, a fast-growing ecosystem used by developers, creators, and businesses worldwide. But global reach brings global complexity, especially when it comes to moving real-world money.
With OpenPayd, TON Foundation can now connect international fiat rails through a single API. That allows the foundation to fund ecosystem grants faster, manage multiple currencies more efficiently, and reduce friction when operating across borders.
In short, it makes everyday operations easier to run at scale.
What OpenPayd Brings to the Table
OpenPayd provides enterprise-grade financial infrastructure used by major crypto firms, including Kraken, OKX, and eToro. Its platform supports global payments, FX, treasury management, and interoperability between traditional finance and digital assets.
OpenPayd CEO Iana Dimitrova said TON’s positioning stood out, calling it “one of the most strategically positioned blockchain ecosystems in the world,” especially given its deep integration with Telegram.
How This Supports TON’s Growth
For TON Foundation, the focus is speed and flexibility. President and CEO Max Crown said the partnership gives the foundation “a far more agile and globally connected financial backbone,” helping it move funds faster and support builders more effectively.
While users won’t see this change directly, it strengthens the foundation beneath the ecosystem, making TON better prepared for continued growth inside Telegram’s massive global network.
