[Pavel Durov: Telegram Messages Can Be Transformed into Apps, Supporting TON Wallet Integration]
Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated that any Telegram message can be transformed into an app smaller than 4KB, supporting native rendering, interactivity, built-in payments, and viral spread.
The Bot API 10.4 update allows bots and AI agents to send native HTML widgets within message bubbles, supporting dynamic layouts, interactive elements, and in-place updates.
Widgets can integrate with the Telegram native wallet, supporting signed transactions and notifications. Bots can read user wallet balances, NFT stickers, and recognize transfer service messages.
Button clicks trigger temporary replies visible only to the clicker. Premium users can set secondary usernames for two bots ending in agent, ai, app, game, etc.
