In its November 12, 2026 roundup, Deep Tide TechFlow reported that Telegram had introduced interactive, app-like widgets inside messages. The update matters for crypto culture because it places wallet activity, including NFT stickers, within the chat interface where communities already interact.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov said on X that any message could become an app of less than 4 KB, loading instantly with native rendering, interaction, payments and sharing features. According to Telegram’s official BotNews channel, Bot API 10.4 lets bots and AI agents send native HTML widgets inside message bubbles. These can use dynamic layouts, respond to interactions, update in place and reuse an interface across messages.
The roundup also reported TON-wallet integration: widgets could support signing for a bot or notifying users about transactions. Bots could read users’ wallet cards, including balances and NFT stickers, and recognize service messages for wallet transfers. Those are reported capabilities, not evidence that a particular bot accessed anyone’s wallet.
