Positioned as a Web2.5 incubator, The TON Bootcamp is designed to empower developers to create mini-apps that bridge the familiar Web2 experience with the decentralized advantages of Web3. The intensive five-month program promises selected participants significant funding opportunities and is specifically tailored to support projects focused on real-world payment and gaming solutions that seamlessly integrate into TON’s thriving Web3 ecosystem on Telegram.

A unique highlight of The TON Bootcamp is the opportunity for participants to present their products and services at Web3 Festival 2024’s demo day pitch and showcase events, offering exposure to a diverse audience of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and potential investors.

Notably, participating teams can leverage various marketplace avenues, including showcasing their projects on Tapps.Center, a platform that has been instrumental in the success of other TON-based applications. The program provides hands-on mentorship and guidance from TON Foundation’s team of seasoned blockchain professionals, aiding developers in navigating the intricacies of integrating their solutions within the Telegram ecosystem.

Moreover, selected projects stand to benefit from funding and support to deploy their mini-apps in a system strategically designed for mass adoption of Web3 products. These resources encompass marketing amplification within TON’s ecosystem, priority access to an active audience of over 800 million monthly users on Telegram, and mentorship from leaders at prominent blockchain investment institutions. The Bootcamp also offers office spaces in key locations like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan.
