Ethena ETH, which has partnered with the TON Blockchain Foundation, to bring its USDe and sUSDe stablecoins to the Telegram ecosystem. This collaboration represents a promising step towards making decentralized finance (DeFi) more accessible. Beyond that, the integration renders sUSDe, or tsUSDe on Telegram, very accessible. You’re able to use it natively within Telegram’s @wallet bot and the new TON Space wallet. Telegram has a little more than a billion daily users. Through its learning by doing approach, this initiative will be introducing an entirely new group of users to the ecosystem of DeFi.

With TON’s and Ethena’s powers combined, they will be able to reach Telegram’s over 1 billion users. Together, they want to expand the possibilities offered by decentralized finance. Ethena takes sUSDe into the Telegram app, renaming it tsUSDe. This move brings Ethena’s stablecoins immediately into the thriving ecosystem of the messaging app. This intentional decision makes it as easy as possible for experienced crypto fans and first time users to get started.

Integration of tsUSDe in Telegram

TsUSDe is now natively built into Telegram’s @wallet and TON Space wallet. This integration provides users the easiest, most secure way to manage and spend their stablecoins. This flexibility expands access, accelerating adoption by removing many of the historical barriers that have existed. This simplifies on-boarding to the DeFi ecosystem for all users.

If you stake at least 10,000 tsUSDe you’ll earn a boosted annual percentage yield (APY) of 10%. This no strings offer is available across the board on your accumulated $TON. This incentive drives a high level of engagement and commitment to the Ethena ecosystem. It provides Telegram users a powerful incentive to plunge into the opportunities presented by decentralized finance. This approach has the dual benefit of rewarding early adopters while encouraging a more active and involved ecosystem surrounding Ethena’s stablecoins.

Ethena’s user-centric approach is focused on making DeFi as simple and straightforward as possible for the average Telegram user. Ethena wants to bring a new wave of participants into the world of decentralized finance. They aim to do this by making the process as simple as possible and delivering desirable rewards. This strategy is incredibly important to users. It supports users who are intimidated by the idea of having to learn how to use a cryptocurrency exchange and a separate wallet.

Strategic Partnership with TON Blockchain Foundation

The TON Blockchain Foundation plays a key role in this partnership. Most importantly, they deliver the technological underpinning and ongoing support required to weave Ethena’s stablecoins into the wider Telegram ecosystem. Their participation highlights the shared commitment of both organizations to promote innovation and accessibility within the DeFi ecosystem.

Ethena uses TON Blockchain’s infrastructure to improve its stablecoins. This makes sure that they run in an optimized way and a safe way inside the Telegram ecosystem. This collaboration improves the user experience while further establishing the credibility and reliability of Ethena’s offerings. The TON Blockchain foundational expertise in blockchain technology allows us to ensure the success of this integration leading to a better user experience.

With the contribution from TON Blockchain Foundation, the partnership between Ethena and TON Blockchain Foundation signifies a mutual vision towards building a robust decentralized finance ecosystem. Together, both firms recognize the huge opportunity that Telegram represents in terms of mass adoption. To them, it’s about empowering users with the tools and resources they need to participate in the DeFi ecosystem safely. This joint effort is a testament to the power of smart collaborations. Join us as we continue to lead the charge for innovation and growth in the blockchain ecosystem.

Expanding DeFi Adoption Through Telegram

Ethena’s experience is smooth, intuitive, and totally online. This default strategy makes it easier for those just starting out to enter the world of crypto with less friction. This kind of hands-on, user-centered approach will be critical in expanding the advantages of decentralized finance beyond today’s limited, crypto-savvy user base.

Embedding sUSDe as tsUSDe into Telegram is a terrific play. It’s supposed to be eye-catching enough to all of Telegram’s massive user base. Between one and two billion daily active users, Telegram offers the largest audience imaginable for Ethena’s stablecoins. By making tsUSDe accessible within the app's native wallet, Ethena can introduce a new wave of users to the benefits of DeFi.

Ethena’s strategy by design strongly incentivizes users to maintain and spend tsUSDe. For example, they provide a 10% boosted APY on holdings of up to 10,000 tsUSDe in $TON. This incentive is intended to promote active engagement and contribution to the Ethena ecosystem and to reward early adopters. By offering real-world value to users, Ethena aims to build a passionate and committed user base around its stablecoins.
