Web3Telegram: The Messaging Layer Your dApp Was Missing

Most web3 developers are building in a trustless world but still relying on messaging platforms that need phone numbers, email logins, or handle lookups. Ironic, isn’t it?

Web3Telegram is the missing piece. A decentralized messaging tool designed for Web3-native builders who want to reach their users directly via Telegram mini apps, without ever asking for a Telegram handle.

It’s consent-based. Encrypted. Built on Confidential Computing. And composable with any web3 application that connects an Ethereum wallet.

What is Web3Telegram?

Web3Telegram is a Dev Tool from iExec’s Web3Messaging suite that enables peer-to-peer communication between a builder and a user secure, wallet-based, and 100% private.

You don’t need to store emails or verify phone numbers. You just need a connected wallet and one encrypted chat ID, processed in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

Here’s the flow:

1. Users connect their wallet to your dApp.
2. They retrieve their Telegram chat ID using a bot.
3. That ID is encrypted client-side and authorized via iExec’s data protection layer.
4. You send them a message without ever seeing their handle.

No ID leaks. No data brokering. And if users change their mind? They revoke access. That’s it, that’s all.

Who Is It For?

• Web3 developers who want to build something that doesn’t feel stuck in the past.
• Privacy-conscious users who are done with monopoly surveillance.
• People who want to earn through their digital communication, not just give it away for free.

You’re building more than just Web3 applications. You’re crafting complete user experiences, and messaging tools are a key part of that.

Key Developers Benefits:

Web3Telegram lets you embed seamless communication into your app without compromising user privacy or relying on third-party dependencies.

• No Telegram handle needed: Identify users through their wallet, not their socials.
• Modular integration: Works with existing telegram mini apps and web3 technology stacks.
• Plug-and-play: Designed for developers, simple to integrate and ready to go.
• Cross chain compatible: Built to work across Ethereum L1s, L2s, and beyond.

This is blockchain-based, encrypted messaging infrastructure designed for privacy-conscious ecosystems.

Why It Matters for the Web3 Ecosystem: Built-in Monetization Opportunities for Both Builders & End-Users 

Web3Telegram is powered by Decentralized Confidential Computing. That means:

• All chat ID encryption happens within TEEs.
• Messages are only sent when users opt in.
• No identifiers ever leave the secure enclave.

This gives your users full user control over their digital communication with the ability to revoke consent at any time.

And bonus: you can enable paid messaging or token-gated access. So your users earn crypto here RLC tokens for opening messages. And spam becomes revenue.

iExec Partnership with Ar.io: integrating a new storage solution 

Web3Telegram is the first use case of our recent partnership with Ar.io, leveraging Arweave’s censorship-resistant, permanent storage solution and domain infrastructure. Ar.io offers a decentralized gateway network that ensures tamper-proof access and persistent availability.

The goal of this partnership is to enhance iExec’s messaging suite (Web3Mail + Web3Telegram) to build an unstoppable privacy-first communication layer for Web3.

Build with Confidence, Deploy with Impact

With Web3Telegram and Web3Mail, iExec is creating a new category: Privacy-First Messaging in Web3. That means:

• No centralized inboxes.
• No contact scraping.
• Just smart, secure, decentralized messaging protocols that integrate where your users already are on-chain and in Telegram.

Working on a DeFi dashboard, governance portal or wallet extension, Web3Telegram is the plug-in you’ve been missing.

‍

Build it. Ship it. Watch users engage while Web3Telegram lets you:

• Send encrypted Telegram messages with just a wallet address
• Skip emails, numbers, and Telegram handle collection
• Enable cross chain, secure decentralized communication
• Integrate monetized messaging flows into your dApp
• Leverage messaging apps users already trust, without compromising privacy. 

Because nothing says "Web3" like messaging without selling your soul.
