Bitget Wallet Launches OmniConnect, Connecting 1B Telegram Users to Multichain Web3 Ecosystem

• Bitget Wallet launches OmniConnect, connecting Telegram Mini-Apps to over 500 blockchains.
• The integration allows over a billion Telegram users to interact with multichain Web3 ecosystems easily.
• Bitget Wallet continues to drive Web3 adoption with simplified access and enhanced functionality.

Bitget Wallet, a leading non-custodial Web3 wallet, has launched OmniConnect, a new development kit designed to bridge the gap between social platforms and decentralized ecosystems.

This tool enables developers to link Telegram Mini-Apps to a multichain Web3 ecosystem, spanning over 500 blockchains, including prominent networks like Solana, TON, and all EVM-compatible chains. With OmniConnect, Telegram users can now interact with Web3 through the Bitget Wallet, conducting transactions and signing across various blockchain platforms.

This development marks a significant evolution for Telegram, which has a user base of over a billion people. Bitget Wallet’s integration offers these users and developers a streamlined way to engage with Web3 ecosystems, effectively transforming Telegram into a gateway for decentralized technologies. 

The initiative seeks to onboard users unfamiliar with blockchain by utilizing Mini-Apps within Telegram, offering them an accessible entry point into Web3.

Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the impact of this launch, stating that previously, Telegram Mini-Apps were limited to the TON network. “Bitget Wallet’s OmniConnect bridges this gap, enabling seamless multi-chain interaction,” Kan said. 

Bitget Wallet’s Strategy to Connect Social Platforms with Web3

This effort is part of Bitget’s broader strategy within the Bitget Onchain Layer, aligning with its mission of connecting a billion users from social platforms to the Web3 world. This expansion will likely benefit developers, blockchain ecosystems, and the growing Web3 community within Telegram.

In addition to OmniConnect, Bitget Wallet plans to roll out further initiatives designed to support the broader Mini-App ecosystem and deepen its integration with Telegram. This will enhance both platforms’ capabilities and empower developers to build more comprehensive dApps.

Bitget Wallet has already established a significant presence within the Telegram and TON ecosystems. The wallet has partnered with key projects like Tomarket, Catizen, and Yescoin, and was the first to extend its keyless MPC wallet to the TON mainnet. 

Other notable achievements include developing trading bots for Telegram and facilitating multi-chain trading with zero gas fees on TON DApps. These initiatives have positioned Bitget Wallet as a key infrastructure provider in the Telegram ecosystem, contributing to its status as the most downloaded wallet globally in August 2024, with nearly 2 million downloads.

With a user base of over 30 million, Bitget Wallet continues to drive Web3 adoption by simplifying access through its MPC keyless wallet. This wallet allows secure logins using familiar methods like email, Apple ID, Google accounts, and Telegram. 

As it expands its all-in-one platform, Bitget Wallet is integrating trading features and social functionalities. Kan concluded, “Our goal is to be the gateway for mass Web3 adoption, making it easy for even non-Web3 users to access DeFi and blockchain games.”
