On January 22, Telegram announced the start of the Gift NFTs minthing, a project linked to the TON (The Open Network) ecosystem. It aims to be another milestone in developing the messenger, which previously introduced tokenized usernames and anonymous phone numbers. Getgems, TON’s key NFT marketplace, has expressed its support for the initiative.
Telegram and TON: A New Milestone
Reports indicate that transaction volume during the pre-mint phase exceeded $1 million, while its pre-market valuation reached $10 million.
This launch represents a new format for Telegram’s engagement with digital assets. Unlike previous projects, it focuses on creative aspects and collectibility, according to the announcement.
The Getgems platform has been chosen as the site to host the collection. Users will be able to buy, sell, and trade NFTs using an intuitive interface and the benefits of the TON ecosystem, simplifying the process for newcomers and aiming to spark greater interest in NFTs.
Significance of the Launch for Telegram and TON
Through this new initiative, Telegram plans to strengthen its position in the blockchain world. The launch also enhances TON’s reputation as a “reliable and scalable platform.” Additionally, support from Telegram and its partnership with Getgems should attract new developers, artists, and users, thereby expanding the TON ecosystem.
Prospects and the Role of Social Platforms
The project will demonstrate how social platforms can act as a gateway, bridging the gap between mainstream users and cutting-edge blockchain technology.
“Not only does this initiative help popularize NFTs, but it also underscores Telegram’s and TON’s growing role in the development of the crypto sector,” the announcement states.
If the project succeeds, experts say it could pave the way for further innovations, solidifying Telegram and TON as industry leaders.
