Holy f..., the amount of post-count padding replies with either ChatGPT or just random BS in this thread is insane!
Y'all know how TON games apps are just like web apps or apps built to load on telegram, turns out some exchanges are taking that concept and using it to add their CEX as an app on telegram.
I just tried Bitget's telegram trading app and after connecting my account, it loaded up just like the app normally would and I was able to trade. I didn't even know stuff like this was possible haha
It's not just exchanges my friend. And no they are not taking the concept of TON games.
What they are doing this harnessing telegrams "mini app" feature.
Telegram has a pretty healthy "mini apps" that is built upon their "bot" ecosystem, these are javascript based apps that are built based on telegram standards. The CEX simply populate these apps using custom APIs and data sources.

Mini apps allow easy authentication, payment gateway integration, media sharing. They can even request decice motion data and geolocation.

There are a ton of apps with millions of users.
I don't know how old you are, but there used to be a time when everyone and their mothers was building apps on Facebook through the Facebook Developer Platform.
It's a way to tap in on the ginormous userbase of these platforms.
If you're looking to explore, go to your telegram app, click on the search icon on the top right, you'll see a bunch of tabs, click on "Apps" and you should see the most popular ones listed right there.
