For the first time in the history of web2 social media, Telegram introduced the ability to buy and sell short and recognizable @usernames for personal accounts, and public groups/channels. With this new feature, Telegram users now have full ownership of their usernames. Long-time and early Telegram users who have been using short usernames can now benefit from the platform's growth by selling their usernames in fair auctions.

🔸The auction for the best usernames is now live on Fragment: fragment.com

🔐The ownership of these collectible usernames is protected in the immutable ledger of the $TON blockchain network, which is quick and scalable.

Several usernames can be added by owners to their individual accounts, group, or channel. Each collected name can be reached by its @username on Telegram or via links like http://username.t.me and http://t.me/username from websites other than Telegram.
