Telegram plans to launch a native non-custodial wallet within the app in the summer of 2026, supporting instant, zero-fee Gram transfers.

Telegram is preparing to integrate its crypto wallet directly into the app. According to founder Pavel Durov, this feature is planned for a large-scale rollout in the summer of 2026, covering all versions of Telegram, allowing users to send and receive Gram messages directly within the chat interface.

Covers all application versions

This time, it's not an external plugin or a wallet entry point that redirects to a webpage, but rather a wallet function natively integrated into Telegram. Users don't need to download any third-party applications or register an exchange account first; they can complete transfers within the existing interface.

The article states that Telegram has over 1 billion monthly active users. If this feature rolls out as planned, it will be one of the largest cryptocurrency wallet deployments ever made for ordinary users.

Release date: Summer 2026

Coverage: All versions of the Telegram app

Usage: Send and receive Gram directly within the application.

Main features: non-custodial and zero transaction fees

The core design of this wallet is non-custodial. This means users retain control of their private keys, and the platform does not hold their funds. For the crypto market, which has experienced exchange failures and custody risks, this design is closer to the common model of self-custodial wallets.

Another key point is transfer costs. According to current reports, Gram transfers will support zero fees and emphasize instant arrival. If these two features are ultimately implemented, it means the barrier to entry will be significantly lowered, especially for small payments and peer-to-peer transfers.

Telegram betting on in-app payment scenarios

By embedding the wallet directly into the messaging app, Telegram is trying to make encrypted money transfers a routine activity similar to sending messages, rather than a feature that exists only on trading platforms or in standalone wallet apps.

From a product roadmap perspective, this approach doesn't rely on acquiring new users, but rather on converting existing users into crypto asset users first. If a significant proportion of users subsequently activate their wallets, Gram's reach will expand considerably.

Telegram has not yet announced a more specific launch date or disclosed further technical details. The focus now shifts to the specific implementation of the wallet and whether instant, zero-fee transfers can operate stably in a large-scale user environment.

Solana Mainnet enables 4096-byte transactions: More space, but also brings upgrade pressure on indexers

Solana will enable v1 transaction-related functions on the mainnet Epoch on September 15th at 01:20 UTC. The maximum size of a single transaction will be increased from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes, which is approximately 3.3 times the original size. The official upgrade page indicates that the activation is expected to occur at this time, and the mainnet status will be marked as activated. The new format provides more space for zero-knowledge proofs, large multi-signatures, batch processing, and some on-chain signature schemes, reducing the need for developers to split a single operation into multiple transactions. The existing legacy and v0 transactions will continue to function, so this is not a hard fork that requires all wallets and applications to switch immediately.

Final Launches Shannon Development Network: An "Adaptive Blockchain" Begins with Restricted Testing

The new public chain Final announced on September 15th that its first major version, Shannon, is already running on the development network. The project positions itself as an “adaptive blockchain network” and showcases a structure composed of a main chain and a transaction chain, with plans to provide core facilities such as derivatives, spot trading, and stablecoins at the protocol layer. What needs to be clarified at this point is that what has been launched is Devnet, not the mature mainnet intended for everyone. The official website states that Shannon will be open to the public “in the near future,” and the current page still provides an application access link; functions such as wallets, bridges, and documentation are also marked as upcoming.

Canadian wholesale sales rose slightly by 0.3% in July: Building materials saw strength, but actual sales decreased by 0.6%

On September 15, Statistics Canada announced that in July 2026, wholesale sales increased by 0.3% month-on-month at current prices, reaching C$91.4 billion. This figure does not include oil, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons, nor does it include oilseeds and grains. On the surface, there was little change in sales amounts, with growth even observed in the building materials and food sectors; however, when calculated at constant prices, total sales volume decreased by 0.6%. The increase in nominal amounts while the actual quantity decreased indicates that price factors supported the data for that month, and it also serves as a reminder to the market that one positive growth figure alone should not be used to conclude that demand has strengthened.
