According to Pavel Durov's X post, more than 1 million self-custodial wallets were activated on Telegram within 48 hours. The wallets activate automatically when users receive Grams tokens, eliminating the need for manual wallet creation. This automatic activation creates a viral distribution mechanism where one user sending tokens to another introduces the recipient to an on-chain wallet without requiring them to understand seed phrases or use separate applications. Telegram's integration of crypto functionality within its messaging platform—which has over 1 billion monthly active users—provides the wallet with a significant distribution advantage over standalone crypto applications.
