Telegram continues to expand its capabilities by actively integrating blockchain technologies into its ecosystem! One of the expected innovations for many was the announcement of the launch of the function of converting gifts to NFT based on the TON blockchain in the near future! Now users of the messenger will be able to send unique digital gifts that will be confirmed by the blockchain and exist as non-interchangeable tokens (NFT). This opportunity opens up a new way of giving, giving gifts not only emotional, but also real digital value in the future!
Converting Gifts to NFTs: how will it work?
The gifting process in Telegram will become much more interesting and innovative thanks to the use of NFT. Telegram plans to integrate with the TON ecosystem, which will allow users to easily turn virtual gifts – cards, stickers, images and other digital objects – into unique tokens on the blockchain.
The recent launch of 600,000 “rare” gifts on Telegram, available for purchase as NFTs, demonstrated the audience’s huge interest in digital assets. All copies (500,000 lollipops; 100,000 sakura flowers) were sold out in just a few hours. This excitement proves that the NFT market continues to gain popularity, and users are ready to purchase and collect unique digital assets.
These gifts received the status of “rare” for a reason. Each of them had a limited run and a unique digital code, which gave them significance among collectors and fans of the platform. Participants who managed to purchase such gifts will now be able not only to store them, but, as the developers promise, in the future exchange or resell them on specialized TON marketplaces, which undoubtedly gives them additional investment attractiveness.
What does this mean for the future of Telegram and TON?
Telegram is making a serious bet on the development of blockchain technologies, and integrating NFT into donation is only the first step. Successful sales of “rare” gifts and their conversion to NFT show that users have a huge interest in unique digital assets.
TON, in turn, becomes the ideal platform for creating and transferring such assets due to its high speed and low fees. In the future, this may lead to the emergence of new forms of interaction, such as paid subscriptions through NFT, exclusive access to content and unique collectibles that will be actively used by Telegram users.
The launch of the function of converting gifts to NFT based on TON will open a new chapter in the development of Telegram as not only a messenger, but also an innovative platform for the exchange of digital assets. The sale of 600 thousand “rare” gifts in a few hours confirms the huge interest in NFT among users and sets a high pace for the further development of the technology! Telegram and TON continue to demonstrate how blockchain can transform familiar processes, making them more fun and valuable!
