Telegram will allow you to buy usernames for cryptocurrencies

Getting the desired username on the platform is not always easy. If you haven’t signed up within the first few days, your only alternative is to think about the original user or opt for offers with a number at the end. Telegram knows about it and launched a new auction market where people can pay for their username.

The courier company confirmed on its official channel that developed an auction platform where people can acquire the most valuable usernames. The announcement was made a few months after Pavel Durov announced his intentions to implement this project. After the success of the auction of domain names and wallets on TON, their blockchain platform – Durov foresaw an explosion in Telegram.

I’m really impressed with the success of the auction TON recently had for their domain names/wallets. Wallet.ton sold for 215,250 Toncoins (~$260,000) and Casino.ton sold for ~$244,000. If TON could achieve such results, imagine how successful Telegram could be with its 700 million users.

This was announced by the founder of Telegram. usernames will be auctioned off @ of four letters, as well as millions of links t.me to the accounts of people, groups or channels. The new platform will allow transactions between the owner and a stakeholder who wants to get a username. Real estate will be secured on the blockchain using a smart contract similar to NFT..

Telegram will auction not only usernames, but also stickers and emoticons

The development phase is almost complete and the auction platform will be launched soon. Make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to acquire the most valuable usernames and properties on the TON blockchain.

The market will be available not only for usernames or channels, but also for stickers or emoticons. Users will bet on them in the same way as on TON domains, where you need to transfer the minimum amount to Toncoin (Telegram cryptocurrency) to the address. If someone offers more, the platform returns the credit to your wallet and notifies you if you make a new offer.

In August, Telegram released some numbers from the first week of auctions, in which more than 2,184 domain names were sold for a total of 2,392 million tons ($3,349 million). and Casino.ton was sold for $280,000.

At the moment, the exact launch date of the Telegram auction market is unknown. The company asked its users to subscribe to the official channel to keep up to date.
