thecoreloop.gg — Web3 [SUNSET]

⚡️ 2024 will go down in history as the year when hundreds of millions of people became familiar with blockchain. We’re proud that Telegram is at the epicenter of this societal transformation 🤵 🔥To keep the fire going, this month, we will introduce a mini app store and an in-app browser with support for Web3-pages 😮 ❗️ We will also step up our efforts to fight the scammers seeking to defraud new entrants into the crypto realm. Soon, Telegram will begin displaying the month of registration and principal country for public accounts (similar to Instagram). We will also allow organizations to use their mini apps to issue labels for channels, creating a decentralized marketplace for third-party verification ✔️ 😏 Thanks to more transparency and decentralization, Telegram users will know more about the opportunities and the dangers of this new world 💪
