A new Telegram update allows developers to assign custom usernames to bots using Fragment

Telegram has introduced a new feature that enables developers to assign any username purchased on Fragment to their bots without having to follow the usual bot suffix rule. Previously, every new bot created in Telegram had to end with the special bot suffix, which limited developer creativity and branding possibilities.

Fragment is a decentralized marketplace, operating on TON Blockchain, for buying and selling Telegram usernames. Now, in exchange for 5,000 Toncoin, developers can use any username for their bot which they have purchased on Fragment.
