Telegram messenger founder Pavel Durov discussed the future of the TON cryptocurrency at the Token2049 conference in Dubai. He shared details on how ordinary Telegram users can utilize Toncoin. Starting April 19, the first payments in TON for advertising on Telegram channels will commence. Users will also be able to tip administrators in TON, with content creators receiving a share of the earnings. Additionally, users can buy and sell stickers as NFTs in TON, with sticker artists getting 95% of the profits. Telegram will introduce mini-apps where users can purchase content using crypto. Users can also share TON with their contacts within the app.

Pavel Durov highlighted the potential value of owning stickers as NFTs, emphasizing their popularity and potential price appreciation over time. Telegram users will soon be able to log into their accounts using cryptocurrency wallets and register the rights to their account names for potential resale.

Durov assured that all these new features will be accessible to all users without the need for programming skills. This includes the ability to directly own and sell usernames, put them up for auction, and attach multiple usernames to one account.

TON has recently been listed among blockchain networks supporting the largest stablecoin by capitalization, USDT. Speculation about USDT’s launch on TON began circulating in early April following an announcement of a joint appearance by Durov and Tether’s Paolo Ardoino at a crypto conference in Dubai.
