Trust Wallet, a self-custody Web3 wallet provider, has partnered with The Open Network (TON) to increase the adoption of blockchain technology.
Through the collaboration, Trust Wallet will be able to tap Telegram’s user base to focus more heavily on gaming finance (GameFi) and decentralized applications (DApps).
According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph, the integration will allow the Web3 wallet provider to offer its 100 million users the ability to send and receive Toncoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/toncoin-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON</a>) tokens.
In a written Q&amp;A with Cointelegraph, Nate Zou, head of product at Trust Wallet, explained that the wallet provider plans to “provide more access to [the] Ton ecosystem” for users.

On July 26, Ledger announced its new touchscreen wallet, and Pascal Gauthier, the firm’s CEO, sent Cointelegraph a statement <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ledger-launches-ledger-flex-wallet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stating the three aspects required for wallet security</a>.
Gauthier explained that wallets require a secure element chip for private key security and storage, a secure operating system and a secure screen driven by a secure element.
The wallet provider’s CEO explained that this newest wallet ticks “all three boxes” and described all other touchscreen devices as not secure without screens “powered by the secure element chip.”
