PAWS, with more than 80 million users, one of the most popular Telegram Mini Apps, has just chosen to move to the Solana blockchain. It is a response to Telegram’s news that all Mini Apps will run only on TON. For PAWS, a SocialFi platform offering rewards for user engagement, it was the choice between a hidden garden under walls and freedom with an open blockchain. With the move to Solana, PAWS not only maintains its multi-chain functionality but also got the power the velocity, low cost per transaction, and growing network of Solana. With the migration, Solana has also seen strong usage, including the download of millions of new wallets and a record number of new blockchain addresses, showing its solid infrastructure and appeal.

Future Vision and Value Creation
In addition to the technical change, PAWS is rebranding to evolve from a viral Mini App to a sustainable Web3 brand. The project aims to build a sustainable framework by merging DeFi services, gaming partnerships, and modern social tools. The shift represents the shift away from models only focusing on short-term revenue towards one that considers long-term user engagement and community participation. By focusing on steady growth rather than fast wins, PAWS is establishing a new benchmark for the way that crypto projects can develop into robust, multi-faceted brands that generate value and innovation.
