Nicknames for crypto: Telegram came up with a new way to monetize
The work of the Fragment platform has started, with the help of which the messenger will sell nicknames for the Tonkoin (TON) cryptocurrency.

Earlier, Pavel Durov introduced such ways of monetizing his brainchild as advertising and a Premium subscription. Now he has found a new way. It is curious that in the lists of sold nicknames there are profiles of users who do not sell their nickname.

Nicknames for crypto: Telegram came up with a new way to monetize


As of October 27, “@casino” has become the most expensive nickname, it is estimated at 52,500 TON, which is equivalent to about $100,000. On October 28, 12 o'clock Moscow time the @bank nickname, estimated at 73,500 TON, already took the first position. The description of the Fragment service states that the company does not currently operate in the United States and does not provide services to residents of this country. From a legal standpoint, Fragment Corp. not affiliated with Telegram Messenger Inc. at all. and is not a subsidiary of it.

In addition, the service rules state that the platform does not guarantee the absence of restrictions for accounts up to their removal by Telegram. Therefore, we can conclude that Telegram can remove already acquired nicknames.

In August 2022, the messenger carried out a global sweep of nicknames that had not been active over the past year. Pavel Durov reported that the vast majority of nicknames (70%) were registered by so-called cybersquatters in Iran. In addition, the businessman noted that 99% of nicknames will be returned to the public, but with some algorithmic and geolocation restrictions.

The Fragment portal reports that in the future, users will be able to purchase not only nicknames, but also collectibles.
