On October 27, 2022, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the launch of Fragment.

In early November on the platform they bought the first username — @auto. Its price amounted to 900,000 TON (~$1.4 million).

Later in Fragment they added the ability to purchase anonymous numbers, with which you can register a Telegram account without a SIM card.

In late November, Durov announced a non-custodial wallet and decentralised applications, including DEX, from the messenger’s team.
