Hubz Launches New Era of Web3-Driven Telegram Groups on TON

Bringing On-Chain Connectivity to One of the World’s Leading Messaging Platforms

Singapore — November 8, 2024 — Hubz, a pioneering blockchain-based Telegram mini-app and platform backed by Cumberland Labs, has launched to revolutionize Telegram groups through on-chain connectivity transforming them into data-driven, monetizable communities that boost engagement and growth. By tapping into Telegram’s 950 million users and the TON blockchain, Hubz opens up a rich two-way on-chain value transfer channel between chat group owners and their participants, all directly within the existing Telegram chat group interface. Hubz provides tools for group admins to gain on-chain insights, implement token-based access, and unlock new revenue opportunities.

Today, Telegram groups lack the tools to scale effectively in Web3, leaving admins with limited visibility into group dynamics, engagement levels, and key on-chain metrics like token holdings, buying power, and transaction activities. This data gap prevents group leaders from maximizing engagement, offering personalized experiences, or tapping into potential revenue streams. Furthermore, spam bots and fake users detract from authentic engagement, lowering the quality of interactions and group trust.

To bridge this gap, Hubz introduces a toolkit designed for modern Telegram groups in the Web3 era, empowering admins to turn on-chain data into actionable insights. Through tools like ChainSync, Gatekeeper, and AccessPass, admins can transform their groups into data-driven, revenue-generating communities. Imagine a 5,000-member Telegram group where the admin can view active engagement levels, track token holdings, and offer token-gated content or exclusive rewards to top members. Hubz enables group admins to optimize engagement and drive meaningful growth in a way previously unattainable.

Alexander Kunzmann, CEO of Hubz, commented: “Hubz was built to meet the demands of the modern Telegram group admin. Our platform allows them to gain deep insights into their members and transform engagement through data-backed decisions. With Hubz, groups can finally tap into the full potential of Web3, driving growth, loyalty, and revenue.”

Backed by Cumberland Labs—a global Web3 venture studio and incubator—Hubz is uniquely positioned to lead this evolution.

Tama Churchouse, CEO of Cumberland Labs, added: “We think there’s huge value in directly integrating TON blockchain wallets into Telegram groups, and bringing on-chain connectivity to the mainstream. Hubz-enabled Telegram groups facilitate trustless two-way value transfer between chat users and admins by leveraging Telegram’s native self-custodial TON wallets. By providing group owners with tools to analyze and monetize their chats, Hubz is paving the way for a new era of value creation on Telegram.”

Hubz is more than a platform; it’s a catalyst for change in how Telegram groups operate within Web3. With a focus on actionable insights and secure, token-based access, Hubz empowers admins to build sustainable, data-driven groups, turning everyday chats into revenue-generating ecosystems.
