📢 Blockchain enthusiasts, come and check out the latest updates from Telegram! On January 2nd, Telegram launched its first update of the year, bringing many interesting new features that are definitely worth exploring!

First, Telegram introduced a brand new account verification method. This time it’s not the traditional blue checkmark but a unique badge supported by third parties. This decentralized verification platform not only effectively prevents scams but also reduces misinformation, setting a new benchmark for the security of social platforms. Isn't that cool?

In addition, Telegram has launched an innovative feature: turning gifts into NFTs! Users can give gifts through Telegram Stars, which can be obtained via in-app purchases or by connecting a TON crypto wallet on the Fragment website. The best part is that these NFTs can be traded across different platforms! However, Telegram will charge a fee for upgrading gifts to collectibles to cover blockchain transaction costs.

For creators, this update is also good news. Telegram provides a new monetization avenue for creators using cryptocurrencies, while also serving as a payment method for games and mini-apps on the platform. Doesn’t it make you excited about future creations?

Finally, Telegram has introduced emoji reactions for service messages and new search filters for private chats, group chats, and channels. Such a rich update of features is truly eye-catching!
