Telegram has announced the launch of the Telegram Gaming Accelerator in collaboration with Helika Gaming, following the successful integration of Telegram blockchain-powered mini-apps.
This new initiative aims to leverage the growing popularity of mini-apps and blockchain technology to enhance the gaming experience for users on the messaging platform. It comes in the wake of the massive success seen by games like Hamster Kombat, which attracted 200 million players since its launch on Telegram in March.
