2022-08-25 02:48:45 Step by step TON is moving forward to become truly mainstream so that ordinary users can enjoy the security, transparency and benefits of decentralized technologies.

In fact, TON the only modern blockchain project that is really moving in this direction.

The contribution of each member of the community brings us closer to complete this historical mission, just as the development of the Internet was the collective work of various enthusiasts. Open / Comment

2022-08-25 02:48:45 I'm really impressed by the success of the auction TON recently conducted for their domain/wallet names. Wallet.ton was sold for 215,250 Toncoin (~$260000) while casino.ton was sold for ~$244000.

If TON has been able to achieve these results, imagine how successful Telegram with its 700 million users could be if we put reserved @ usernames, group and channel links for auction. In addition to millions of catchy t.me addresses like @storm or @royal, all four-letter usernames could be made available for sale (@bank, @club, @game, @gift etc).

This would create a new platform where username holders could transfer them to interested parties in protected deals – with ownership secured on the blockchain via NFT-like smart-contracts. Other elements of the Telegram ecosystem, including channels, stickers or emoji, could later also become part of this marketplace.

When it comes to scalability and speed, TON probably has the best technology to host such decentralized sales. Our team can write bullet-proof smart contracts for TON (since it was us who invented its smart-contract language), so we are inclined to try out TON as the underlying blockchain for our future marketplace.

Let's see if we can add a little bit of Web 3.0 to Telegram in the coming weeks. Open / Comment

2022-08-25 02:48:45 Introducing a major @wallet update: The popular service now has a new user-friendly interface.

On the home screen, you can see your balance, transaction history, and buy or send Toncoin. You can now buy Toncoin in just a couple of taps without leaving Telegram — you only need to link a bank card to the service once.

There’s no need to chat with the bot to use the wallet: simply add @wallet to the Attachments Menu, start the bot, and send Toncoin directly within chats with your contacts.

If you are still not familiar with the service, right now is a great chance to get to know it: There’s no service fee for purchasing Toncoin, and the exchange rate is as close as possible to the market price.

The developers continue to improve the service, equipping it with better features and making it one of the most integral parts of the TON ecosystem.
