TON Festival 2025 Showcases Telegram-Based Web3 Innovations

The TON Festival 2025, a three-day virtual event scheduled from May 23 to 25, is set to be a landmark gathering for the Telegram-based Web3 ecosystem. Hosted within a Telegram Mini App (TMA), the festival will provide an interactive experience directly on the messaging platform, making it accessible and engaging for participants from around the world.

The event is organized by the team behind Borderless.art, the developers of the Native Assurance Protocol (NAP). The festival will showcase the latest innovations within the Telegram-powered blockchain network, with a focus on decentralized finance (DeFi), infrastructure projects, and iGaming. Strategic partners for the event include BLUM, a Telegram-based crypto trading app, and TON Society, which represents the core community of TON developers and users. Web3 District, in collaboration with DSRPTD and Chainwire, is serving as the official media partner, ensuring the event’s outreach across major Web3-focused media networks.

The TON Fest Mini App, initially launched in December 2024 as a ticketing app, has since evolved to introduce MANA mining—a points-based system that allows participants to unlock various in-app activities. Users can earn MANA by engaging with the app’s gamified features, such as voice-triggered actions and campsite upgrades, adding an element of fun and interaction to the festival experience.

The festival will feature a lineup of confirmed ecosystem participants, including Trust Wallet, EVAA Protocol, Bidask, DOGS, BUMS, TON Station, Boinkers, Forklog, OnTON, and BitOK. Additionally, the event will showcase performances by Web3-native artists, such as Lil Bubble, known for their crypto-themed musical content. The organizing team is actively seeking additional project collaborations and partnerships to further enrich the festival’s offerings.

Web3 District, a membership-based platform focused on Web3 and AI, is playing a crucial role in the festival. Based in Lisbon, Web3 District offers coworking, networking, and hackathon events, connecting founders, builders, and investors. The platform provides tools and visibility to frontier technology projects, making it an ideal partner for the TON Festival 2025.

The TON Festival 2025 is poised to highlight the growing ecosystem of Telegram-based Web3 projects, fostering innovation and collaboration within the blockchain community. By leveraging Telegram’s infrastructure and offering an interactive experience, the festival aims to bring together key players in the industry, driving forward the development of the TON blockchain network.
