Telegram Makes NFT Trading Easy Like Sending A Message

Telegram, a renowned instant messaging and social media mobile application, is making non-fungible token trading fun and accessible again through its tight integration with The Open Network (TON) blockchain network. To make non-fungible token trading even more fun, the Telegram team has made sending non-fungible token collections easy and fast, just like sending a message in Telegram.

Telegram Makes NFT Trading Easy And Fast

In a September 03 blog post, Max Crown, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the TON Foundation and Co-Founder and Board Director of MoonPay, confirmed that Telegram has made some upgrades on its platform to enable crypto and non-fungible token users to send digital collectibles as easily as sending a message in Telegram. This new innovation will enable crypto users to send NFTs directly from the mobile application.

Launched in 2013, Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging and social media app known for focusing on ultra speed, security, and features like large groups, channels for broadcasting, and customizable bots. It allows users to send messages, photos, videos, and various file types from contacts to friends and groups. It also allows for seamless cross-device use by storing content in the cloud, and offers optional end-to-end encrypted “Secret Chats” for increased privacy.

Earlier this year, Telegram, also the developer of The Open Network blockchain, introduced the ability for its users to convert their animated in-app gifts into non-fungible tokens on the TON network. This integration unlocked unique visual variations and traits, making each NFT asset a one-of-a-kind digital artwork. These collectible gifts move off-chain and can be used as stickers in Telegram.

How To Send NFTs on Telegram

By bringing NFTs into social media, Telegram makes digital ownership more accessible and appealing, even to those previously uninterested in NFTs, and facilitates targeted communities for NFT marketing and engagement. To push the NFT adoption even higher, the team has made sending NFTs easy and fast. There are just three steps to send an NFT: Tap in the message bar and select the Wallet icon. Then tap choose asset at the bottom, select a cryptocurrency, and enter the amount. To send an NFT, go to the collectibles tab, pick the NFT you like, and tap Send.
