TeleSwap Podcast, Episode 4: Bridging Bitcoin and TON. Join us as we discuss TeleSwap's pioneering effort in launching the first decentralized Bitcoin<>TON bridge. This initiative connects Bitcoin, the highest-valued blockchain, with TON, a fast-growing, consumer-focused network. This episode covers why this bridge is essential for TON's ecosystem, providing much-needed wrapped BTC and enabling Bitcoin as a core reserve asset for DeFi protocols like DEXs and lending platforms. With Telegram accelerating consumer adoption on TON, facilitating direct Bitcoin usage and swaps (like USDT to Bitcoin) without leaving the ecosystem is key. We detail the technical hurdles TeleSwap overcame, including adapting to Ton's asynchronous message passing and building custom failure recovery systems because Ton lacks automatic transaction rollbacks. We also touch upon the challenges of writing secure smart contracts in Func, Ton's low-level language, which requires manual memory and gas management without mature libraries. Hear about the innovative architecture of TeleSwap, built for secure and trustless bridging. This is achieved through on-chain Bitcoin light-client verification, where block headers and transactions are verified directly on TON smart contracts..., and an economic slashing mechanism where participants stake collateral, ensuring honest behavior and providing user compensation in case of misbehavior.... This launch is a critical step in bringing native Bitcoin liquidity to TON and empowering its DeFi future. Find out more:
