In practice, Getgems believes that until now, NFTs have never had the ability to connect seamlessly with mass users, as Telegram has done.
Telegram is an instant messaging platform that has reached 950 million monthly active users.Â
The NFT marketplace also emphasized that what Telegram does with NFTs is not to release them for their volume or for gambling. Instead, the platform focuses on NFTs for utility, such as Telegram usernames that provide ownership rights for digital identities, while Telegram anonymous numbers represent accounts.
Telegram and the release of the first NFT Art collection
Getgems was involved last week in the launch of the first NFT Art collection by Telegram.
In fact, the project of the messaging app involved in the TON blockchain ecosystem has marked a new important milestone.Â
The collection of NFT Art focuses on the creative and collectible aspect of digital assets, offering new possibilities for users.Â
In fact, compared to Telegram’s previous projects, this could attract new developers and digital artists. In this way, TON’s offering could further enrich itself, as well as expand its practical applications.Â
In this sense, Telegram is that social media platform that could promote the use of blockchain technology, crypto, and Non-Fungible Tokens thanks to TON.
Getgems remains the reference marketplace for NFTs on TON, hosting Telegram’s NFT collections and offering users an intuitive platform to buy, sell, and trade non-fungible tokens.
Last October 2024, instead, Telegram had launched a feature on the app called Gift. Basically, users started sending gifts using Telegram Stars and then began to convert those gifts into NFTs on TON.Â
The value of the Non-Fungible Token market
In general, the value of the NFT market is down compared to the boom of 2021, but 2024 seems to have seen a recovery.Â
In fact, it seems that 2024 recorded an increase of over 100 million dollars in sales volume, compared to that of 2023. Despite the slow growth of this crypto market, NFTs closed last year with a total sales volume of 8.8 billion dollars.
Taking a look at the data from CryptoSlam, at the time of writing, total NFT sales are in pump by +15% compared to 24 hours ago, with 23.3 million dollars.
