Telegram's Wallet Integrates Monad, Enabling Global MON Token Trading and Staking

Wallet in Telegram, a digital asset solution embedded natively into Telegram's interface, has announced a partnership and full token listing with Monad, a high-performance EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain. This collaboration allows users to deposit, withdraw, and trade Monad's native token, MON, directly within the Telegram app through the custodial Crypto Wallet feature. From launch day, the integration includes dedicated MON staking functionality and incentive programs aimed at introducing Monad to Telegram's extensive user base across both established and emerging crypto markets.

Monad is recognized as one of 2025's most anticipated blockchain debuts, setting new standards with its parallel and asynchronous execution model. It targets 10,000 transactions per second, sub-second latency, and low fees while maintaining full bytecode-level EVM compatibility and decentralization. The project has secured over $225 million in institutional funding from investors like Paradigm, Dragonfly, and Electric Capital. As the first project on Coinbase's new ICO platform, Monad conducted a $188 million public sale after a testnet processing over 5 billion transactions and plans an airdrop to more than 230,000 eligible users.

Halil Mirakhmed, Chief Strategy Officer at Wallet in Telegram, emphasized the significance: "Monad represents a defining moment for next-generation blockchain infrastructure... By partnering at launch, we're opening this milestone to millions worldwide." Keone Hon, Co-founder of Monad, added that "Wallet in Telegram makes Monad uniquely accessible to a broad retail audience," highlighting the effort to simplify access to high-profile crypto launches. Wallet in Telegram, which gained over 140 million users in 2025, aims to serve all of Telegram's 1 billion+ users, offering a dual-wallet experience that includes access to the TON ecosystem and now, Monad's TGE.
