What is PAWS?
Originally, PAWS was a Telegram mini-app that rapidly gained popularity, amassing millions of users by rewarding them with PAWS points for activities such as joining groups, following channels, and inviting friends.
In response to Telegram's policy changes mandating exclusivity to the TON blockchain, PAWS chose to migrate to Solana to maintain its multichain flexibility. This strategic move aligns with PAWS' ambition to evolve into a more holistic brand that onboards newcomers to the crypto space and facilitates their journey.
To achieve this, PAWS plans to expand its ecosystem through DeFi integrations, gaming partnerships, and social engagement tools.
