Telegram 首席执行官 Pavel Durov 宣布计划在 TON 区块链上集成 NFT 功能

根据 Telegram 首席执行官 Pavel Durov 最近的声明，该消息服务正在准备通过新的不可替代代币（NFT）功能来扩展其区块链功能。

Messaging service Telegram is set to expand its blockchain capabilities with a new non-fungible token (NFT) feature, according to recent statements from Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. This comes after the platform released its “Gifts” feature on October 5, which allows users to send animated images within a custom message to their contacts on the platform. These Gifts can then be displayed on the user's profile page or converted into the platform's in-app currency, Stars.

根据 Telegram 首席执行官 Pavel Durov 最近的声明，消息服务 Telegram 将通过新的不可替代代币 (NFT) 功能扩展其区块链功能。在此之前，该平台于 10 月 5 日发布了“礼物”功能，该功能允许用户将自定义消息中的动画图像发送给平台上的联系人。然后，这些礼物可以显示在用户的个人资料页面上或转换为平台的应用内货币星星。

These Gifts, in addition to the social features that the platform already has, introduce a new level of interactivity. Users who receive Gifts, which were first introduced in June of this year, can now share them on their profiles or convert them into Stars. Stars are already used to pay for Mini Apps within Telegram and to support creators.

除了平台已有的社交功能之外，这些礼物还引入了新的互动水平。收到礼物的用户（该礼物于今年 6 月首次推出）现在可以在个人资料中分享或将其转化为星星。 Stars 已用于支付 Telegram 内的迷你应用程序费用并支持创作者。

NFT Integration on Telegram

Telegram 上的 NFT 集成

This new feature is highlighted by Durov's announcement that some limited-edition Gifts will soon be able to be converted into NFTs. He revealed this plan on his official Telegram channel, stating that later this year, users will be able to mint some limited supply Gifts as NFTs on the TON blockchain.

Durov 宣布一些限量版礼物将很快能够转换为 NFT，这凸显了这一新功能。他在其官方 Telegram 频道上透露了这一计划，并表示今年晚些时候，用户将能够在 TON 区块链上铸造一些限量供应的礼物作为 NFT。

This further demonstrates Telegram's efforts to integrate blockchain into its ecosystem by offering unique ways for users to interact with and monetize digital content. These Gifts, when converted into NFTs, can then be traded outside of Telegram, marking a significant step toward fully integrating the platform into the Web3 space.

这进一步证明了 Telegram 通过为用户提供与数字内容交互和货币化数字内容的独特方式，将区块链整合到其生态系统中的努力。这些礼物在转换为 NFT 后，可以在 Telegram 之外进行交易，这标志着该平台向 Web3 空间完全整合迈出了重要一步。

NFT Market Struggles

NFT 市场困境

In the broader market, NFTs are facing a difficult period, and issuing tokens onto the blockchain rather than creating them on the network using the system's native token is not a bad option. In September 2023, the NFT market experienced its lowest monthly sales volume since January 2021, with $296 million.

在更广阔的市场中，NFT正面临着困难时期，在区块链上发行代币而不是使用系统的原生代币在网络上创建代币并不是一个糟糕的选择。 2023 年 9 月，NFT 市场经历了自 2021 年 1 月以来的最低月度销售额，为 2.96 亿美元。

This represents an 81% decrease from March 2023, when the market saw its strongest performance of the year. The market also saw a decrease in the number of transactions involving NFTs, which fell from August to September by 32%.

这比 2023 年 3 月下降了 81%，当时市场表现最为强劲。市场上涉及 NFT 的交易数量也有所减少，8 月至 9 月下降了 32%。

This new push from Telegram, despite the broader market downturn, highlights its belief in the future of NFTs and the adoption of the technology by the company's digital ownership and decentralized economy.

尽管市场普遍低迷，但 Telegram 的这一新举措凸显了其对 NFT 未来以及公司数字所有权和去中心化经济采用该技术的信心。
