The Open Platform (TOP), a venture builder within the TON ecosystem, has introduced the first cohort of projects participating in its Telegram Growth Hub initiative.

This accelerator program, supported by US$10 million in funding, aims to incorporate Telegram’s large user base into the Web3 landscape.

Participants will present their projects to potential investors, including OKX Ventures and Folius Ventures.

The program lasts 10 weeks and offers participants funding, mentorship, and access to various developer tools.

These resources include software development kits (SDKs), application programming interfaces (APIs), blockchain infrastructure, and tools for wallets, payments, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The program will conclude with a Demo Day during Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.
