Telegram usernames trade as collectibles on the TON blockchain, so every auction bid and every sale is a public record, priced in GRAM (formerly TON). This page reads those records directly: what the market did this week, what names typically sell for by length, and the biggest sales since username auctions opened in October 2022.

What Telegram Usernames Sell For, by Length
Length is the strongest price driver. The typical prices come from the 3,000 most recent sales (the last 9 days); each record covers the full history. Five characters is the shortest name anyone can register in the app, and four-letter names exist only as Fragment collectibles.

|---|---|---|---|
| 4 characters | 26 | 5,296 GRAM | @news 994,000 GRAM |
| 5 characters | 744 | 10 GRAM | @devil 555,555 GRAM |

Where These Numbers Come From
Every figure here is read from the TON blockchain, where Telegram usernames trade as collectibles. Our records cover every username auction since Fragment opened in October 2022. Names registered free in the app never touch the market, and a few sales carry no readable on-chain price, so this is the recorded auction market rather than every username that has ever changed hands. How we collect and check the data is on our methodology page.
Want a name on this list?
Watches check your name on a schedule and alert you once a check confirms an auction moved, a price changed, or the name became claimable. No name in mind yet? A Fragment alert messages you in Telegram when a new auction matches the kind of name you want.
Not affiliated with Telegram or Fragment. GRAM amounts are exact on-chain values; USD figures use today's GRAM price. Past prices are facts about past sales, not valuations or predictions.
