Telegram continues to promote the username auction
In the recent update Telegram for iOS version 9.1.1 began offering to buy usernames on the Fragment auction. It happens when the user tries to assign a username that was revoked in the recent purge.
Currently only usernames starting from A to Q are available. If you try to assign a name that isn't on the auction yet, a default error is shown.
This is the first time the auction has been mentioned inside the app, apart from the mass messages coming from a service account.

Selling username without a starting bid
Fragment has changed the rules of usernames bidding. Now the user does not have to make the first bid to start bidding.
This is primarily useful for those who wanted to sell their usernames but could not put them on the site for fear of losing 5 TON + 5% of the sale. Also, it may also be of interest to those who want to buy an address, as there is no time limit of 1 week before the initial bid is set.
It is important that the first bid is still needed to get to the main page of the auction, without this action, the username is available only through the search, but can already be bought by anyone.

NFT is not a Username
The Fragment auction refuses to take liability for compensating NFT buyers if a company or brand makes a formal request to Telegram for the transfer of a public name for use of its brand. Telegram can unlink an NFT from a username and such outcome is quite realistic.
Artem Abaev, Finpanda founder, comments: "To protect customer rights, Fragment needs to work out a Refund policy. [...] If the rules of the game remain fuzzy, buying names like @dior will, in my opinion, be a risky deal."
@tginfo prepared a detailed analysis of Fragment's ToS, discusses possible risks like Telegram account ban or removal of an NFT from Fragment's exchange, and also talks about a recent incident, where a channel with a purchased collectible username was banned for copyright infringement.

The price of anonymous numbers will increase and availability will be limited
Starting at 12:00 PM UTC on December 13th, the price of a number will increase by 1 TON every 3 hours until it reaches 99 TON. The price will continue to increase for 11 days.
After that, only previously sold numbers that are put up for sale again by buyers will be available. It's likely that Telegram is deliberately creating a shortage of numbers to drive up the price.
It's unknown whether new pools of numbers will be available and when the next wave of numbers will be released. Of the 10 million +888 format numbers currently available, almost 17,000 have been sold.

Bot Usernames on Fragment
Recent changes in the client-side source code of the Fragment platform which we recently discovered, indicate the possibility of being able to assign usernames purchased on the Fragment platform to bots. There might also be an extra fee.
Earlier, changes in the translation strings of Telegram for macOS indicated the possibility of being able to assign multiple usernames to a single bot.
