Telegram enables Toncoin payments for in-platform ad purchases
Telegram lets users buy channel advertisements with Toncoin. The platform plans to share 50% of ad revenue with owners of public channels.
According to Telegram, users can now promote their channels by paying as little as “a handful” of Toncoins. Users will have the authority to choose the exact channels to place their TON-powered ads, the announcement stated.
Furthermore, channel owners will be able to withdraw their rewards without fees, while the withdrawal service will become available in the coming weeks on Telegram’s Fragment exchange, according to the announcement.
“We chose the TON Blockchain because it has low fees, high transaction speeds – and holds a record for the number of transactions it can process per second,” Telegram wrote in the announcement. TON reportedly recorded 100,000 transactions per second during a test last November.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov teased the update on his personal channel last month. While Telegram channels generate over 1 trillion in monthly views, only 10% of channels have been monetized with Telegram ads so far, Durov said.
“This will create a virtuous circle, in which content creators will be able to either cash out their Toncoins — or reinvest them in promoting and upgrading their channels,” Durov said in his previous message.
The price of Toncoin rose 2.32% in the last 24 hours to $5.24 at the time of publication.
