Telegram Introduces New Verification Program for Business Accounts

Telegram, a popular messaging platform, has unveiled a decentralized verification system allowing verified organizations to verify entities within their respective sectors independently. The original verified accounts will retain the standard blue checkmark, while those verified by third-party consortiums will sport unique logos specific to their industries, along with information on the verifying organization. This initiative is aimed at enhancing security and reliability on the platform.

In addition to the verification update, Telegram is set to implement changes by January 2025, including the ability to convert gifts to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and a new search bar filter feature. The platform is evolving to adapt to the latest trends, empowering users with enhanced functionality and safety measures.

Furthermore, with the rise of NFTs and the potential for misuse, Telegram is addressing concerns by enabling the conversion of received gifts into NFTs. This move aims to prevent fraudulent activities on the platform and enhance transparency for users.

Other updates include the ability to react to service messages and a search bar filter which allows users to sort between chats, channels, and media easily. These improvements are designed to offer a seamless and secure messaging experience for Telegram users.
