Telegram has unveiled its new Telegram Gaming Accelerator, a collaborative effort with Helika Gaming, riding on the wave of success from its blockchain-enabled mini-apps. This fresh endeavor seeks to harness the burgeoning interest in mini-apps and blockchain innovations to enhance the gaming experiences offered on Telegram’s communication service.
Following the remarkable milestone of 200 million players achieved by titles such as Hamster Kombat, which debuted on Telegram in March, the initiative is set to continue this momentum.
