Inco, the developers of a universal confidentiality layer for Ethereum and other networks, have revealed their partnership with Privy, the easiest way for crypto app developers to onboard their users. This collaboration enables developers to securely develop on-chain products like Telegram Mini Apps and seamlessly reach their users within one of the world’s most widely used social media platforms, boasting 900 million users worldwide.
Developers have the flexibility to construct Telegram Mini Apps (web applications integrated within Telegram Messenger, accessible via both individual and group chats) using widely recognized web development standards like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/React. Besides streamlined user accessibility, opting to create a web3 product as a Telegram Mini App presents various advantages. These include the ability to automate tasks through Telegram bots, facilitate seamless gaming experiences without requiring app downloads, embed monetization features such as in-app purchases and subscriptions, and offer cross-platform continuity by synchronizing session history across web and mobile deployments.
Inco is a confidentiality-focused EVM powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). Using Inco, developers can build decentralized apps and mini-games (slot machines, card games, guessing games, predictions market, and more) that work with your wallet provider and leverage FHE technology, thus enabling new forms of strategic PvP gameplay that are fully confidential. Developers can also integrate the Privy SDK to provision self-custodial wallets for users to power on-chain experiences from Telegram.
“We at Inco believe that building decentralized apps directly within Telegram will become the next trend, further boosting the development of the web3 industry,” says Remi Gai, CEO of Inco. “Easy-to-access, share and scalable apps represent a new wave of dApps.We see the huge potential in supercharging more fun to on-chain games with confidentiality and randomness, and bringing this to the masses with Privy.”
The Inco team has already developed Slot Machine (@inco_slots_demo_bot) and Hangman app (@IncoHangmanGameBot). Both games leverage FHE to provide on-chain confidentiality and randomness. Inco also invites developers to access its open-source repo to easily start building similar dApp experiences within Telegram.
“With this partnership, we help developers meet their users where they are. For many of our customers, this means Telegram, and we are happy to provide them with the opportunity to build their web3 products on-chain as Telegram Mini Apps,” says Max Segall, COO at Privy.
