as a payment method
built into Telegram — nearly a billion users can pay without installing anything new.

how to accept solanaIn practice, merchants don't have to choose. A crypt.pe payment page lists every coin you enable — the customer picks whichever they already hold, and each payment settles wallet-to-wallet to your own address with 0% platform fees. Accepting both TON and SOL just means more customers can pay you.

Neither is strictly better — they optimise for different things. Toncoin focuses on telegram-native payments, while Solana focuses on high-throughput payments, consumer apps. The right choice depends on whether you value Toncoin's Proof of Stake model or Solana's speed, fees and ecosystem for your use case.
Toncoin settles in ~5 s blocks, settles in seconds, while Solana settles in ~400 ms blocks, settles in seconds. Typical network fees are ~$0.01–$0.05 on Toncoin and fractions of a cent on Solana.
Both — there is no trade-off. A crypt.pe payment page lists every coin you enable, the customer picks whichever they hold, and each payment settles to your own wallet with 0% platform fees. Accepting both simply widens who can pay you.
Nobody can know — price predictions are scenarios, not facts. You can stress-test your own assumptions with the Toncoin and Solana scenario calculators on crypt.pe, which project the live price forward at growth rates you choose. Educational only, never financial advice.
