Telegram in the US market
Telegram’s US audience is smaller than its global base but concentrated in exactly the segments that build Mini Apps: crypto and web3, gaming, creator communities, immigrant and diaspora audiences, and tech early adopters. US startups also use Telegram Mini Apps to reach global users from day one without app store friction. The skills needed (Telegram SDK, Stars payments, TON) are rare in US engineering teams, which is why most of our US clients start with a project and continue with a dedicated developer.
How we work with US clients
- Contracts: MSA and SOW under your state’s law, IP assignment, confidentiality, optional escrow for source code.
- Billing: USD by milestone (fixed price) or monthly (T&M), invoices with W-8BEN-E on request.
- Communication: Telegram or Slack, weekly written status, demos every two weeks, calls in ET or PT business hours from our US office; 24/7 coverage across four offices.
- Security: NDA, least-privilege access, your cloud accounts (AWS, GCP), SOC 2-aligned practices on request.
- Data: US data residency on your infrastructure; privacy terms aligned with CCPA/CPRA where consumer data is involved.
