Crypto platform Walt, formerly known as Wallet, said on Nov. 10, 2026, that it had launched a standalone app for trading digital assets, according to a statement provided to The Block. The launch opens the service to users without Telegram accounts while preserving access for existing customers through the messenger.

New users can register through Google or Apple. Existing users can log in with their Telegram accounts and retain access to their assets and transaction histories.

“Walt started as a simple bot for buying crypto and has grown into a full-fledged investment platform used by tens of millions of people. We built the best crypto product inside Telegram, and now we’re opening it up to everyone,” said Andrey Rogozov, CEO of Walt and The Open Platform.

According to the company, the app supports trading in more than 200 cryptocurrencies and over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds. It also offers perpetual futures tied to digital assets, metals and energy commodities.

The platform provides yield-earning tools for stablecoins, Gram, Solana, Ethereum and TRON.

Walt Chief Product Officer Egor Danilov said the app’s main feature would be access outside Telegram.

“The biggest change is access,” he said.

Danilov said new trading tools and asset classes would appear first in the standalone app. The company also plans to introduce crypto payment cards.

In October 2026, Walt introduced perpetual futures trading supported by the artificial-intelligence agents Mira, ChatGPT and Claude. The agents can analyze positions, assess risk, and open or close trades. Order execution is disabled by default, and the agents cannot access withdrawals or transfers.

Walt’s website says its standalone app is available for Android, with an iOS release planned for later. The service will continue to operate within Telegram.

The company claims tens of millions of registered users but does not disclose its number of active clients, trading volume or assets under management.

From Wallet to Walt

The Wallet bot launched on Telegram in January 2022 as a service for handling cryptocurrencies. In April 2022, it added Toncoin transfers through the messenger.

The team later expanded the service with peer-to-peer trading, non-custodial wallets, yield programs and derivatives-trading tools.

On Sept. 28, 2026, the developers announced that Wallet would become Walt. The Open Platform said in an official statement that the expanded range of services prompted the rebrand. By then, the platform supported more than 300 assets across four blockchains and no longer fit its original identity as a simple crypto wallet.

“The product got bigger, and the name got shorter,” the company said.

The rebrand coincided with Telegram’s preparations to launch Gram Wallet, its own non-custodial wallet. Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov said on Sept. 1, 2026, that a limited group of users would receive access before a gradual wider rollout.

A subsequent Telegram update placed the native wallet in the Money section of the messenger’s settings, replacing the previous Wallet placement. Gram Wallet and Walt remain separate products: Gram Wallet is designed for self-custody and transfers within Telegram, while Walt provides a broader range of trading and investment tools.

Wallet users did not need to transfer funds or repeat identity verification after the rebrand. Their balances, addresses and transaction histories remained intact.

The service continued to operate through the @walt and @wallet bots and retained its infrastructure integration with Telegram. Walt also allows users to fund the messenger’s built-in wallet directly from balances held on its platform.

The standalone app extends Walt’s service beyond Telegram while maintaining its operations inside the messenger.
