The creator of Telegram wants to use a network for trading tokens (NFT)-style smart contracts to auction off Telegram user names

Durov speculated that auctioning off reserved @ usernames, group and channel links could boost Telegram's 700 million user base. As a result, the creator of Telegram proposes using NFT-style decentralized applications to sell account names.

Durov suggested that Telegram use similar systems to introduce a new marketplace where users could buy and sell memorable t.me addresses such as @storm and @royal and other four-character facebook profiles.

With the ownership of the usernames secured on the blockchain via NFT-like smart contracts, this would open up a new marketplace for the sale and purchase of usernames.

As he continued, he said, "Many elements of the Telegram ecosystem, including channels, temporary tattoos, or emoji, might also later become very part of all this marketplace."
