Telegram will become “the epicenter of social transformation,” as a result of which hundreds of millions of people will be able to become closely acquainted with the blockchain, the founder and head of the messenger Pavel Durov promised on his channel.

To maintain the pace of development, Telegram will have a mini-application store by the end of the month, as well as a built-in browser designed to work in applications with support for Web3 pages. The field of cryptocurrencies, which sometimes promises great opportunities, often turns off ordinary consumers due to the large number of scammers.

Therefore, the Telegram administration decided to intensify efforts to combat scammers who are trying to deceive newcomers to the world of cryptocurrencies. Soon, in Telegram, by analogy with Instagram✴, public accounts will display the month of registration and the main country of registration.

It will also create a decentralized marketplace for third-party verification, with some organizations able to use their own widgets to assign labels to channels indicating the accuracy of the information they publish. This, Mr. Durov is confident, will contribute to greater decentralization and transparency, and Telegram users will be more aware of the opportunities and dangers of the world in the context of rapidly changing rules of the game.
