Web3 Games on Telegram: Inco and Privy Develop Non-Custodial Dapps on the Social Media Giant

cryptonews.com:

Thanks to a recent partnership, developers can build non-custodial, on-chain Web3 games and products as Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs).

Inco, developers of a universal confidentiality layer for Ethereum and other networks, has announced its partnership with Privy, an embedded wallet provider that enables crypto app developers to onboard their users easily.

Developers can now access users directly in Telegram, a mega-popular social media platform with 900 million users worldwide.

Therefore, building decentralized apps (Dapps) as TMAs allows developers to “create a consumer-friendly experience and tap into the largest pool of retail users,” the press release said.

These web apps run inside Telegram Messenger, meaning that users can access them in individual or group chats.

More specifically, users can launch “an embedded web interface with an experience similar to other popular in-app browsers,” the team said.

Launching a TMA is as simple as starting a chat conversation with an app’s Telegram handle,” it added.

As an example, the team gave a poker game running fully on-chain. Players don’t have to trust the ‘dealer.’ Instead, they can check their play thanks to the encryption technology called Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).

Notably, Inco has already created “a number of demo apps,” it said. These include Slot Machine (@inco_slots_demo_bot) and Hangman (@IncoHangmanGameBot).

Both of these games utilize FHE for on-chain confidentiality and randomness.

Inco is a confidentiality-focused Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) powered by FHE, the team said.

Developers can use it to build decentralized apps and mini-games that work with their wallet providers.
