Ride App Tada Integrates TON Crypto Payments in Singapore <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In conjunction with the partnership, Tada introduced a Telegram Mini App\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, a mini-application operating within the Telegram messaging platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This application enables users to reserve transportation in Singapore. The Mini App will allow users to finalize their reservations via TON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2018, Tada is a company that conducts business in Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's zero-commission policy enables passengers and drivers to negotiate more favorable prices. A subsequent date in 2024 will see the company's expansion into Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payments in cryptO for transportation reservations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Users can pay for their travels using The Open Network token or Tether, which operates on the TON blockchain, as a result of the partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 19, Tether introduced USDT on TON, integrating its stablecoin into the network. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, TON CEO Andrew Rogozov, and Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino <\/a>delivered the revelation during a keynote address at the Token2049 event in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvey Kim, the president of Korea at TON Foundation, informed Cointelegraph that the two organizations are promoting their collaboration by offering users 4,000 free rides and discounts in conjunction with the upcoming Token2049 event in Singapore. Kim stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAttendees at next week\u2019s TOKEN2049 event will be able to make free and discounted taxi rides using a Mini App in Telegram that doesn\u2019t require any new downloads opens up in just one tap, and accepts both Toncoin and USDT on TON.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Increasing Web3 adoption through partnerships with Web2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The executive also stated that the action expedites the implementation of Web3 solutions<\/a>. He elaborated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIf we want to accelerate the successful adoption of Web3 solutions, it\u2019s crucial that strong partnerships are forged with exciting Web2 platforms that enable their users to quickly become familiar with the many benefits of Web3.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kim characterized the partnership as a significant development for TON, emphasizing its capacity to introduce practical applications for cryptocurrency. He noted that it innovatively integrates ride-hailing services, social media, and crypto payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the executive's response to whether it is preferable to pay with cryptocurrency or fiat was merely, “The decision is yours.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
