Inco and Privy have teamed up to enable Telegram games.

Inco and Privy partner to enable safe gaming on Telegram Messenger

Inco, the developer of a universal confidentiality layer for Ethereum and other networks, has announced its partnership with Privy to enable games on Telegram that preserve user privacy.

Inco is trying to make it easy for crypto app developers to onboard their users and get them to securely build on-chain products as Telegram Mini Apps (and games on top of them). Telegram is one of the most used social media platforms worldwide with 900 million monthly active users. It’s particularly popular in countries such as Russia and India, and among cryptocurrency users for its privacy features.
