The bot is just an example of Telegram's new seamless authorization for websites. Anyone can now create bots that connect their existing social, gaming, productivity, dating or e-commerce services to Telegram on the fly. If you're a developer, see:

The TON Foundation has just introduced a new technology — TON Payments or Payment Channels. More information is in the article.
The Task
Come up with an idea of how to use Payment Channels in the most useful way and make a prototype in under 48 hours. Gaming, streaming, traffic, finance or any other field.
Presentations without a prototype will also be accepted, although having a prototype increases the chances of winning.
Evaluation Criteria
This Hack-a-TON is all about a great idea and its presentation.
There will be no stability or security testing. You can assume that the parts of the payment channel are not trying to deceive each other and not to implement an uncooperative closing of the channel. Only a positive scenario is enough.
Don’t forget to create a website that demonstrates your idea and have:
— 2-minutes video of your project (screencast is also suitable).
— presentation.
— functional prototype.
— open code repository (optional).
You can host the website on GitHub Pages.
Toolkit
Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert in cryptography or smart contracts in order to work with TON Payments. You can use ready JavaScript SDK — https://github.com/toncenter/tonweb.
An example of how to create and close a payment channel, as well as sign and verify transfers - https://github.com/toncenter/payment-channels-example.
You can use any kind of communication protocols — Web-Sockets, REST HTTP or others.
Your prototypes must work in the TON test network — https://ton.org/docs/#/testnet/
A bot for Hack-a-TON participants to get test coins — @testgiver_ton_bot
We do not limit you in the toolset, you can use anything you want.
