Collectible Telegram usernames and anonymous +888 numbers

Updated 12 November 2026 · 4 min read

Telegram gifts are not the only collectibles traded on TON. Fragment also sells Telegram usernames and anonymous +888 phone numbers, and both markets are larger per sale than gifts. Sales Tracker follows them on its Usernames and Numbers pages. This guide explains what each one is, how the floors are measured, and what the totals look like as of November 2026.

What a collectible username is

A collectible username is a Telegram @username held as a token on the TON blockchain and traded on Fragment, Telegram's own marketplace for usernames and numbers. Whoever holds the token can put the name on their account, channel or group, sell it, or put it up for auction.

Usernames run from 4 to 32 characters of letters, digits and underscores. Four letter names can only be had as collectibles, which is why short names behave like a separate market. Fragment's minimum fixed price is 7 TON, so a great many fresh names sit listed at that price and rarely sell.

Each name has its own page on Sales Tracker, such as /usernames/crypto. It shows whether the name is for sale, on auction, sold, taken or available, its price or minimum bid, the owner when shown, its full sale history and the floor for names of its length.

What an anonymous +888 number is

Anonymous numbers are phone numbers starting with +888 that exist only on Telegram. You can sign up for and log in to a Telegram account with one, with no SIM card and no mobile carrier. Like usernames, they are tokens on TON and are bought and sold on Fragment, at a fixed price or at auction. Numbers are written in groups, like +888 0431 8169.

People use them to keep a personal phone number off Telegram, to run several accounts, or simply hold them as collectibles. Each number Sales Tracker has seen has a page with its status, owner when shown, every sale and the change versus the previous sale.

The size of both markets

These are the Fragment sales Sales Tracker has recorded, as of November 2026, next to Telegram gifts for comparison.

The counts are close, but per sale the gap with gifts is wide. A number sale works out to about 350 TON on average and a username sale to about 305 TON, against roughly 16.6 TON for a gift. Over the last 30 days to November 2026 the median gift sale was about 5.8 TON. Gifts trade often and cheaply; names and numbers trade less often and for more.

Totals as of November 2026. Averages are the volume divided by the number of sales.

How floors by length work

For usernames, the cheapest listing is a poor floor. Most fixed price listings are new names at Fragment's 7 TON minimum, and almost none of them sell. So the Usernames page measures each length from what actually sold.

• Only sales of 100 TON or more in the last 30 days count.
• The floor is the price of the cheapest quarter of those sales (the 25th percentile).
• The median is the middle of the same sales.
• When a length has fewer than 5 such sales in 30 days, the window widens to 90 days, and the page marks it.
• First sales under 100 TON in the last 24 hours are counted separately, so they do not drag the line down.

The By length table lists 4 letter, 5 letter and longer names, each with its floor, 30 day median and number sold. That is the quickest way to see what a 4 letter name goes for right now compared with a 5 letter one. The same rule drives the name's own page, which shows the floor for its length next to its own sale history.

Using the Usernames and Numbers pages

The Usernames page is live and read from Fragment every ten minutes. Under the length table come the top sales of 30 days, live auctions with the time left, and recent sales marked as first sale or resale. Search for any word to see every sold name that contains it, and switch on Show sales under 100 TON to include small ones. The chart shows the median sale per hour or per day, the volume spent and the number of sales.

The Numbers page shows what is on the market (for sale and on auction), the 24 hour and 7 day median, volume over 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, and recent sales. Search by any part of a number. Its chart uses the median sale price per hour or day, so one rare number does not skew the line.

Compare can put the +888 numbers market on the same chart as gifts. In your Portfolio, the Beyond gifts tab counts the usernames and numbers held in your TON wallet, with usernames valued at the higher of their mint price and latest sale and numbers at their last sale or the floor.
