Gate.io is expanding the features of its Telegram Mini Program to “help users manage assets more conveniently,” the crypto exchange stated. Launched in September 2024, the Gate.io Telegram Mini Program now includes Convert, Market Data, and Deposit features, allowing users to complete account registration and KYC verification within the app.
The Mini Program’s new Convert function enables users to perform instant swaps between digital assets, while its real-time Market Data feature helps users stay informed about market trends with “Favorites” and “Spot” market contract data feeds. Users can also execute deposit transactions directly within the Mini Program, utilizing its “simple and intuitive” interface.
These new features join a growing set of tools available to users within the Gate.io Telegram Mini Program, including a Rewards Center Redeem Function that allows users to redeem rewards directly within the Mini Program without needing to log into the Gate.io app. Other features include a New Contract Market List, which enables users to track market trends, and a New Asset Page that consolidates users’ asset information in one location.
“We will continue to optimize the functionality of the Telegram Mini Program and plan to introduce more useful features, including trading capabilities,” said Kevin Lee, Chief Business Officer of Gate.io, in a statement shared with Decrypt.
