Telegram founder Pavel Durov is integrating Web3 infrastructure into the Telegram messenger. The developer wants to repeat the success of the TON wallet address auction. Durov said he was inspired by the achievements of the auction, where buyers were offered domain names and «.ton» wallets. Thus, Wallet. ton was sold for about $ 260,000 and casino. ton for $ 244,000.

«If TON managed to achieve such results, imagine how successful Telegram with its 700 million users could be if we auctioned off reserved usernames, groups, and links to channels,» Durov said.

The programmer added that in the new marketplace, the owners of the names could sell them using smart contracts. Over time, other Telegram content, including channels, stickers, or emoticons, could also become part of the marketplace.

«TON probably has the best technology for decentralized sales. Our team can write smart contracts for TON because we invented its smart contract language. We intend to try TON as the underlying blockchain for our future market ,» Durov concluded.

Earlier, we wrote about the highest-paid professions in the Web3 field. Experts note that cryptocurrency companies are looking for experienced programmers who understand cybersecurity, cryptography, and blockchain technologies.
