One reason why applications within $TON look different from those on other networks is the influence of the Telegram messenger. Many products are designed from the outset to be easy to use in the form of bots and mini-applications, without complex interfaces and unnecessary steps. This significantly lowers the barrier to entry and makes interacting with the blockchain more familiar.
The foundation for many is the STONfi exchange, which is often used as an exchange layer for such applications. Projects within Telegram integrate ready-made exchange mechanics so that users can make exchanges directly in a familiar environment without switching between different services. With the advent of Omniston, such integrations now have access to a unified exchange system that selects the best options within the network.
As a result, applications in $TON are no longer isolated services. Telegram sets the format, STONfi and Omniston add functionality, and all of this comes together in an ecosystem where actions are performed quickly and without unnecessary transitions.
