Everything is pretty expensive for now but users should be able to list their own usernames soon.

Seems good, i guess it’ll increase overall value of telegram usernames in upcoming time

what you think? Are the bids authentic or are they just making the buzz around?

it’s even more than what OG’s on other platforms are worth

TON testnet2 was promoted to mainnet in May 2021 (source: ton.org).

The addresses bidding crazy amounts of money on the Auction Platform started getting their TON from PoW givers back in May 2020, when the mainnet was a testnet.

Examples:

Ef8acpBAmfTonu2kfXjx7qP7cEPqbLPm5W8niVXaQOjV0yBJ (over 1M TON)

Ef95yO_AT7oi4M2Py55spUTC9_g161nl7FerluhWZfkNv3bM (over 800K TON)

Ef-zqJWZh3JddLCyNQHuAmsNL1Ra9DmAusPHDJxGolDSfFwE (over 3M TON)

All 3 addresses are constantly bidding the same usernames (@casino, @bank, @auto, @avia, etc.) and raising the prices.
