TON Accelerator and crypto exchange Bybit have partnered to launch the Cross-Chain Synergy Cohort.

This program aims to help developers create projects compatible with multiple blockchain networks. It seeks to connect the TON (TON) ecosystem, associated with the Telegram Open Network, to the Ethereum Virtual Machine ecosystem, according to a press release seen by crypto.news.

The program provides developers with marketing support, mentorship, and access to Bybit’s Web3 wallet. This wallet integration enables cross-chain interactions, which are essential for connecting blockchains like TON and Ethereum (ETH).

Cross-chain technology allows assets and data to move seamlessly between different blockchain networks, addressing the silos that often limit blockchain applications.

Another key focus of the program is liquidity. Bybit will assist participants in accessing resources to grow their projects, including a direct connection to its platform. This support is intended to help developers bring their ideas to market more efficiently.

Program Interoperability 

The Cross-Chain Synergy Cohort also highlights TON’s connection to Telegram’s 950 million users. By integrating Web3 tools and fostering interoperability, the initiative aims to attract more users to decentralized applications and expand the reach of blockchain technology.

Sophia Rusconi of TON Accelerator said the program will “bridge the TON and EVM ecosystems” while accelerating startup growth. Bybit’s Emily Bao added that the partnership reflects Bybit’s goal of building a simpler and more open blockchain ecosystem.
