A few weeks ago, users saw some group, channel, and individual user usernames disappear, something unprecedented and that was part of a scheme on the part of Telegram that it was not very clear what it was about. However, as has been seen on the platform itself, the social network is planning the username auction.
As expected, such an intervention is not done disinterestedly, and it is that these auctions will work supported on the TON (The Open Network) blockchain, that was originally developed and designed to be operated by Telegram so it is possible that there are economic interests behind this action.
Notably, despite the existence of the Toncoin, For now, nothing has been done with it due to the disuse suffered by the vast majority of cryptocurrencies, which arrive without a purpose, and Telegram is finding a purpose for its coin before it’s too late, if it isn’t already.
Be that as it may, now we know why Telegram bothered to remove usernames from some platform usersand it is that they needed to have them available to be able to move the Toncoin economy.
