​More than 50 Telegram usernames have found new owners.

Yesterday evening, the first Telegram username auctions kicked off on the Fragment marketplace, which launched last week.

The top five most expensive usernames were:

@auto — 900,000 TON
@bank — 850,000 TON
@avia — 800,000 TON
@chat — 700,000 TON
@fifa — 600,000 TON

The total amount spent on usernames came to about $9.12 million per Toncoin’s price at the time of writing.

Congratulations to the auction winners.

Once you get your hands on a username on Fragment, you’ll get access to all TON DNS possibilities.

For example, you can assign your new username to a wallet and use that instead of a long wallet address.

To do so, you go to the NFT section in the Tonkeeper crypto wallet, select the username, and tap “Link current wallet address” to assign the domain to your wallet’s address.

You can find a more detailed guide on assigning TON DNS usernames in the “Is it possible without a Chrome extension?” section.

It’s worth noting that at the moment, only tokenized Telegram usernames minted on the TON blockchain have access to TON DNS functionalities — i.e., only those bought on Fragment.

However, Pavel Durov has promised that users would be able to sell their usernames on Fragment to all Telegram users shortly.

​Toncoin staking on the KuCoin crypto exchange for 12% APY

There’s a new event happening in support of Toncoin’s listing on the KuCoin crypto exchange. Tomorrow, on Nov. 2, the platform will open two fixed staking offers.

Staking for 10% APY

Duration: 7 days
Maximum deposit: 50,000 Toncoin

Staking for 12% APY

Duration: 14 days
Maximum deposit: 50,000 Toncoin

Please note: The event’s duration will be limited.

If you want to participate in staking, you must subscribe within the next 24 hours before 15:59 (UTC) on Nov. 2.

After the time mentioned above, the offers will be closed.

To participate, you must:

1. Create an account on KuCoin.
2. Go to the “KuCoin Earn” section.
3. Enter the “TON” ticker in the search bar.
4. Click “Subscribe” beside the staking offer in which you’d like to participate and deposit your Toncoin.

When the 7- or 14-day staking periods end, your Toncoin will be returned to your balance with the earned interest.

We also want to bring your attention to a particular detail concerning these two offers.

At first glance, 12% APY staking over a short period doesn’t look all that attractive compared to Huobi’s 500% or OKX’s 65% APYs.

However, KuCoin’s 50,000-Toncoin deposit limit is rather large, allowing Toncoin holders to earn potentially more interest compared to the offers from OKX and Huobi.

Other details for KuCoin’s staking offers can be found on this page:

​After a community vote among validators, the “t.me” domain was added to the root TON DNS smart contract.

This news means that “t.me” owners now have the following opportunities:

▪️ You can assign the username.t.me format to your TON crypto wallet, allowing users to send Toncoin to your Telegram username.

▪️ Product creators can assign smart contracts to Telegram usernames. They can also assign usernames to decentralized TON sites.

Moreover, you can store your username in your crypto wallet, sell it, and even put it up for auction, but your ownership rights to your “t.me” will always be recorded on the blockchain.

In other words, “t.me” owners have received access to all the possibilities offered by TON DNS technologies.

Last week, the TON Foundation proposed to add “t.me” domains to the root TON DNS smart contract.

After a round of voting among community validators from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1, the TON Foundation’s initiative was approved.

All amendments have already been implemented.
