Telegram Set to Tokenize and Stickers Emojis on TON BlockchainTelegram has announced its intention to tokenize its emojis and stickers using the TON blockchain, a move that is expected to enhance user engagement and monetization opportunities. The move is part of a broader strategy to create an interactive and financially inclusive platform that allows users to develop applications, tools, and businesses within the Telegram ecosystem.
The tokenization of the user namespace on the TON blockchain has already generated $350 million in sales, and Telegram is now looking to expand this model with the tokenization of its digital assets. Users will be able to possess, trade, and monetize their digital stickers and emojis on the TON blockchain.
In addition to tokenization, Telegram plans to change its revenue model with content creators by introducing an Ad Network that will share ad revenue generated from advertisements on broadcast channels with the channel owners in the proportion of 50%. This approach makes Telegram one of the social media platforms with the most liberal revenue-sharing arrangements.
Telegram's adoption of TON's blockchain technology is expected to lead to radical changes in conducting digital advertising, allowing the bypass of in-app purchase systems through which major app stores exert control.
To further enhance its blockchain functionality, Telegram has integrated the Tether ( CRYPTOCAP:USDT ) stablecoin and launched a gold-pegged stablecoin, Tether Gold ( SEED_DONKEYDAN_MARKET_CAP:XAUT ), on the TON network. This integration will provide users and merchants with a more flexible way of transacting within the application.
Moreover, Telegram has expanded its payment options by integrating more than 40 payment providers, including Stripe, to diversify available payment methods and enhance the platform's ability to facilitate commerce. This expansion will provide a robust infrastructure for users to buy and sell goods and services globally.
In summary, Telegram's adoption of TON's blockchain technology and the tokenization of its digital assets are expected to create an interactive and financially inclusive platform that allows users to engage in commerce and content creation within the Telegram ecosystem. The integration of stablecoins and payment solutions will provide users with more flexible transaction options, further enhancing the platform's functionality.
