TON Connect / ton_proof
A protocol that lets a Telegram Mini App authenticate that a user controls a particular wallet keypair. It proves control of a key — not the existence of a human behind it, and not any verified attribute of that human. No KYC, no biometric, no personhood; a useful primitive that is frequently mistaken for an identity layer it was never built to be.
