According to Telegram, Telegram has announced an important update to introduce six new features that integrate blockchain technology with the platform to improve user experience. This update on January 24, 2025 provides an innovative way to interact and participate in the user through gifts that can be worn, moved to blockchain, and shared on multiple channels.
Try wearing your own unique gift
One of the most prominent features is that you can wear the collection of gifts in emoticons. This feature allows users to upgrade the gifts to the collection, and the collection can be displayed in a shiny emoticon state in the profile. This not only personalizes the user’s profile, but also adds a dynamic visual element that matches the background and symbols of the collected gifts.
Move the gift to the blockchain
In response to the increase in blockchain integration, the telegram is now allowed to transmit or auction futures through the ton blockchain. This feature allows users to permanently control gifts even if they cannot access the telegram account. By moving the gift to the Ton wallet, the user can connect it to an external service, including auction sites that provide additional benefits to collectible products.
Send a gift to the channel
Telegram users now send gifts to the channel to celebrate a special day. These gifts are noticeably displayed in the channel profile, so subscribers can upgrade the futures using the star before sending. With this upgrade, the gift is transformed into a unique collection without any additional costs. Channel owners can transfer these gifts to other users or channels, and can select auctions from the blockchain to provide a new way for fundraising and support for various purposes.
Gift sharing and filtering
The user can post a gift that can be collected in his story and create an animation preview that shows his unique work. Each gift contains a unique link, so you can easily share it with your friends or post it on the channel. The new ‘Gift’ tab of the channel profile allows users to filter the gifts according to the value, collection, and other criteria, enhancing the exploration experience of collectors and lovers.
Through these updates, Telegram continues to innovate to provide users with creative and attractive ways to use blockchain technology within the platform. As these features are released gradually, we promise to improve user interactions and expand the possibility of providing digital futures in the Telegram ecosystem.
