New Delhi, Aug 23 : Telegram Founder and CEO Pavel Durov is planning to add Web 3.0 to the highly-encrypted messaging platform in the coming weeks.Durov was amazed by an uninvolved TON auction for their domain and wallet names.While Wallet.ton was bought at $260,000, casino.ton sold for $244,000.
“If TON has been able to achieve these results, just imagine what a success Telegram with its 700 million members could be if we were to put reserved @ usernames channels, group and group links up for auctions,” said Durov in an email on Monday.
“In addition to the millions of interesting t.me addresses such as @storm or @royal All four-letter usernames could be offered for sale (@bank @club, @game at gift, @bank, etc.),” he added.
The Telegram founders said that this would result in an entirely new platform on which users could transfer their usernames to anyone who is interested in secure transactions with ownership secured by the blockchain using NFT-like smart-contracts.
“Other aspects of the Telegram ecosystem, such as stickers, channels or emojis, could also be part of this market,” he mentioned.
The platform for encrypted messaging announced a paid subscription for its platform, which is expected to cost $5 (about 400 rupees) per month.
