According to the founder of Messenger, this was possible thanks to the system of having digital assets based on ton blockchain.
“When people have direct digital assets, magic occurs”– Durov said. He emphasized that Telegram users’ accounts and nicknames are full -fledged owners: without intermediaries, without the risk of confiscation, everything is fixed by smart contracts.
According to Durov, Telegram continues to be the only social platform where it is possible.
This is due to respect for the use of decentralized solutions that provide respect for user digital rights and safety and autonomy.
Telegram Marketplace, where premium nicknames were exchanged, has been released two years ago and has become a platform for multimillion dollar transactions since then. The increase in @crypto costs 70 times from the most striking examples.
