cryshado commented 5 months ago

Summary

Swift SDK that will allow IOS developers to integrate TON Connect into applications such as crypto wallets.

Context

Currently, there is a JS SDK that allows integrating TON Connect into crypto wallets. One of the popular languages for native application development for iOS is Swift. Developing such SDK in Swift will allow the large community of IOS developers to integrate TON Connect into various applications, including wallets, much faster and easier.

Potential impact

This section describes potential opportunities for TON related projects if this issue will be resolved.

That definitely sounds like a good idea. I'm a crypto wallet developer, and its IOS version is developed with Swift. This is what we need to integrate TON Connect into our wallet.

WalletConnect primarily exists for mobile platforms, as on the web, this can be done without this protocol through browser extensions. In this case, having only a JavaScript implementation seems absurd. Native development for mobile platforms means Swift and Kotlin, not JavaScript. All these libraries like React Native are laughable. Do not assume that your single SDK for JavaScript covers all platforms, this view is mistaken.

We appreciate and encourage developers of new wallets that enrich our ecosystem. However, given from one hand abundance of wallets (including open-source ones), examples and documentation and from the other hand large userbase and ways to monetize wallets, it seems excessive to additionally subsidize creation of new wallets or their parts. We expect that is is already profitable to create such projects in ecosystem without funding from TF

@delovoyhomie No, it would not be profitable on the blockchain, which has 90% of its user from countries like russia. There is only the monopoly of one wallet called Tonkeeper, which is directly affiliated with the TON Foundation. Thank you for your AI generated reply. Good luck 💀
