More news on the TON crypto: Telegram’s marketplace 

телеграмма, the popular messaging app, has developed a new marketplace that does not involve the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In October, the platform said it was ready to launch its marketplace for selling unique usernames for various socials, an idea that was first proposed in August.

In an official announcement on its Telegram channel, the company said that the development phase of the marketplace is nearing an end and that it will be based on its native blockchain, called The Open Network (TON).

The idea was first put forward in August this year by Pavel катышта, the company’s founder, when he proposed a marketplace capable of using NFT-like smart contracts to auction off highly sought-after usernames. 

Durov made the proposal after the success of The Open Network’s (TON) domain name auctions, as anticipated the layer-1 blockchain originally designed by Telegram’s team.

At the time, Durov said that a new базар, in which username holders can transfer over interested parties through protected agreements, could become a required service in Web3. 

He added that other elements of the Telegram ecosystem, including channels, stickers or emojis, could also later become part of this marketplace. However, like many other platforms from the era of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), Telegram also had problems with US regulators due to the unregistered sale of its Gram token.

Thus, after losing a court battle in 2020 against the US Баалуу кагаздар жана биржа боюнча комиссия, Durov walked away from the project to focus on Telegram. Since then, open-source developers have relaunched the project under the banner of The Open Network (TON).
