Telegram announces a groundbreaking move to tokenize emojis and stickers on the TON blockchain, revolutionizing digital asset interaction.
This initiative, revealed at the Token2049 conference, extends Telegram’s blockchain involvement beyond user namespaces, which already generated $350 million. By leveraging TON’s scalable technology, Telegram aims to foster a new ecosystem for application development, commerce, and content creation. A standout feature is the enabling of ad revenue sharing with content creators, promoting a more financially inclusive platform.
The integration of Tether (USDT) and the introduction of Tether Gold (XAUT) on TON, coupled with over 40 payment providers, underscores Telegram’s ambition for a seamless transaction experience.
This strategic expansion into blockchain not only diversifies Telegram’s revenue streams but also positions it as a pioneer in digital asset tokenization and commerce within messaging platforms.
