According to Odaily Planet Daily, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov posted yesterday that technology blogger Pavel Fedorov sold his username @pavel on the Fragment auction platform and earned more than $80,000 in TON tokens. Fedorov is an early user of Telegram. He got the username @pavel for free 9 years ago and auctioned it a week ago. After fierce bidding, @founder, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur with multiple Telegram accounts such as @crypto, won the auction and then gave the username @pavel to Durov. Durov said this shows how Telegram users benefit from direct ownership of their usernames. In the past 18 months, $350 million worth of Telegram usernames and anonymous numbers have been sold. The latest version of Telegram supports viewing the sale time and price of usernames. In addition, Durov has purchased the username @paul on Fragment for 10,000 TON.
