# Telegram Built-In APP

In Telegram, there are two types of wallets available: one is the centralized wallet built into Telegram, and the other is the self-custody cryptocurrency wallet called Ton Space, integrated with the Ton blockchain.

Given Telegram's integrated capabilities, Squidtg has been seamlessly incorporated into Telegram. Users can actively participate in Squidtg gameplay directly through Telegram, leveraging both the Telegram wallet and Ton Space for the acquisition and trade of in-game assets.

The process involves three key steps:

* Creating a centralized Telegram wallet
* Establishing Ton Space wallet with self-custody, providing users with control over their private keys.
* Engaging in Squidtg gameplay

## Creating a Telegram wallet 

1\. Download the Telegram application and search for "Wallet" within the Telegram app.
