In a bold move to enhance the gaming landscape on its platform, Telegram has unveiled the **Telegram Gaming Accelerator**, a collaborative effort with Helika Gaming. This initiative springs from the triumph of Telegram’s blockchain-empowered mini-apps.
The accelerator is designed to leverage the burgeoning popularity of mini-apps and blockchain advancements to enrich the gaming experiences for Telegram users. This endeavor is inspired by the overwhelming success of games such as **Hamster Kombat**, which captivated 200 million players after its launch on Telegram in March.

This initiative is part of a broader trend, as evidenced by Notcoin’s declaration on X, which highlighted the Telegram user base’s expansion due to the mini-apps, now considered the “new meta.” In partnership with Helika Gaming, Telegram is poised to broaden its accelerator program, focusing on game developers.
The goal is to foster innovation and growth among creators eager to develop gaming apps that seamlessly integrate with Telegram’s messaging ecosystem.

The partnership’s vision is to craft a captivating and inventive gaming experience by merging Telegram’s robust platform with the Ton blockchain’s capabilities.
Telegram’s strategic initiative aims to diversify its gaming offerings and attract a wider audience by incentivizing game development. The inaugural application phase for the **Telegram Gaming Accelerator** program is anticipated to commence shortly.
