I’m Selling a Special Telegram Username!

And it can be yours!

You must have already heard about Telegram leveraging blockchain technology to allow its user to trade their usernames. If not, basically you can convert your Telegram username into an NFT and put it for sale on fragment.com.

Telegram usernames can be as precious as domains. Even more, if they create the right amount of engagement or have the potential to do so.

Here are few examples of Telegram usernames sold for big amounts of money:

Yeah, the username @news broke the million $ mark!

I took a bit of time to check if any interesting words combination was left out and… it was! @FTXRefund was what I was looking for! Everyone is after #FTX! Many are filing class actions against the former exchange! And that’s how I ended up registering on Fragment my new username: FTXRefund!

All you need to bid is three things:

1. A Telegram account
2. A TON wallet (Tonkeeper)
3. Register the two above on fragment.com

Both are super easy to install on your phone. And no, no KYC is required! Relax!

Where can you buy Toncoins? On any major DEX, or on Kucoin. Other major CEX will be listing it soon.

Go! Buy some TON and place a bid to lead the latest class action against FTX!

Selling Telegram Usernames on Fragment

You may want to know how to your precious username too! OK, just follow these steps:

1. Connect Toncoin wallet & Telegram account to Fragment (you’ll be prompted on Telegram and asked by a bot if you wish to proceed)
2. Login to Fragment using Telegram & Tonkeeper
3. Go to Ton Wallet section (top right) and select “Convert to Collectible”
4. Choose username to sell from dropdown (new usernames may not appear)
5. Set starting bid amount, the minimum a buyer must bid
6. Scan code with Tonkeeper for first bid
7. If not outbid, receive bid amount minus conversion fees
8. If outbid, receive proceeds minus conversion fees
9. Auction proceeds go to Fragment wallet, username reassigned.

Easier done than said!

This is groundbreaking. Imagine if this technology was used by Instagram! Influencers would go nuts!
