Telegram CEO Proposes Auctioning Usernames, Links As NFTs
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has proposed bringing its platform usernames and channel links to market as NFTs.
In a Monday post to his personal Telegram channel, which has 651,000 subscribers, Durov suggested that millions of reserved Telegram addresses could be auctioned as assets on the blockchain.
Durov wrote that he was inspired by The Open Network (TON)’s recent sale of over 2,000 .ton domain names. The sale totaled 2,392,002 Toncoin, each of which trades for $1.29 at writing time, netting approximately $3 million.
