Five characters is the shortest username Telegram lets anyone register, which makes it the most contested length on the platform: short enough to read as a brand, long enough that the app will actually accept it. Almost every good 5-letter combination was claimed years ago, so the ones that surface do it through Fragment auctions.
This page tracks every 5-character username in our on-chain records. Each price is in GRAM (formerly TON) and traces to a public TON blockchain transaction.

Why 5-letter names are the most contested tier
A 5-character name sits exactly on Telegram's public minimum. Unlike the 4-character tier, anyone could in principle register one free, which means the good ones went early and the rest trade on the market. Dictionary words, common first names, and clean pronounceable coinages dominate the top of the sale records.
For a buyer this cuts both ways: supply is larger than the 4-character tier, so mid-market prices are lower, but the ceiling for a real word is still five figures in GRAM. The records below show where those lines actually fall.
After a 5-letter name?
Watches check your name around the clock and alert you the moment an auction starts, a bid moves, or the name becomes claimable. Open to any 5-letter name? A Fragment alert messages you in Telegram when a new one goes to auction.
