TL;DR Regarding Grindery

Under the new Terms of Service (TOS) Grindery is a multichain wallet that enables users to manage TON and non-TON assets within Telegram. Under Telegram’s updatedTOS, Grindery remains fully compliant by:
✅ Supporting TON blockchain for transactions within Telegram
✅ Planning on using TON Connect for in-app wallet interactions
✅ Allowing users to manage assets on Polygon and BNB within the app
✅ Complying with restrictions on token promotions and external app integrations
To clarify Grindery does currently not:
🚫 Link users to external dApps for managing non-TON assets
🚫 Include a catalog of external blockchain applications
Grindery’s full multichain functionality continues outside of Telegram, ensuring users can still access non-TON blockchains through web and mobile apps.
