Telegram founder Pavel Durov intends to integrate the Web3 infrastructure into the messenger in the coming weeks and will consider TON as the base blockchain for the future marketplace.
Durov said he was encouraged by the success of an auction recently held by TON, where buyers were offered domain names and “.ton” wallets. So, Wallet.ton was sold for about $260,000, and casino.ton for about $244,000.
“If TON was able to achieve these results, imagine how successful Telegram could be with its 700 million users if we auctioned reserved usernames, groups and channel links. In addition to millions of memorable t.me addresses like @storm or @royal, all four-letter usernames can be made available for sale (@bank, @club, @game, @gift, etc.),” Durov said. .
He added that in the new marketplace, name holders could sell them using smart contracts. Over time, other messenger content, including channels, stickers or emoticons, may also become part of this marketplace.
“When it comes to scalability and speed, TON probably has the best technology to carry out such decentralized sales. Our team can write bulletproof smart contracts for TON since we are the ones who invented its smart contract language. Therefore, we are inclined to try TON as the underlying blockchain for our future market,” Durov said.
Recently, Mark Zuckerberg announced that he will rework the Horizon Worlds metaverse after criticizing the quality of the graphics. However, the investment firm Galaxy Digital, after studying the policies of the metaverse in the market, said that no company that creates virtual worlds guarantees the protection of rights to gaming property.
