通讯应用 Telegram 的活跃用户已达 9.5 亿，目标今年突破 10 亿大关

杜罗夫上周表示，该公司还计划本月推出一个应用程序商店和一个支持 web3 页面的应用程序内浏览器。

Messaging app Telegram has nearly reached 1 billion active users, a goal that the company’s founder said it aims to cross this year.

通讯应用 Telegram 的活跃用户数量已接近 10 亿，该公司创始人表示今年将实现这一目标。

The company is also planning to launch an app store and an in-app browser with support for web3 pages this month, Durov said last week.

杜罗夫上周表示，该公司还计划本月推出一个应用程序商店和一个支持 web3 页面的应用程序内浏览器。

In March, Telegram crossed 900 million users. At that time, in an interview with the Financial Times, Durov said that the company aims to be profitable next year.

3 月份，Telegram 用户突破 9 亿。当时，杜罗夫在接受英国《金融时报》采访时表示，公司目标是明年实现盈利。

Telegram seems to be accelerating adoption of web3 tech on its platform. The company has long supported cryptocurrency and blockchain initiatives, but its own efforts to enter the space slowed down after its initial coin offering failed in 2018. In December 2022, the company started auctioning usernames on the TON blockchain.

Telegram 似乎正在加速其平台上 web3 技术的采用。该公司长期以来一直支持加密货币和区块链计划，但在 2018 年首次代币发行失败后，该公司进入该领域的努力放缓了。2022 年 12 月，该公司开始在 TON 区块链上拍卖用户名。

The company has since then focused on helping developers build mini-apps and games that use cryptocurrency for transactions. This year, it started sharing ad revenue with channel owners by handing out toncoin (a token on the TON blockchain). Earlier this month, Telegram started letting channel owners convert stars to toncoin to buy ads at discounted rates or trade cryptocurrencies.

从那时起，该公司就专注于帮助开发人员构建使用加密货币进行交易的迷你应用程序和游戏。今年，它开始通过发放 toncoin（TON 区块链上的代币）与渠道所有者分享广告收入。本月早些时候，Telegram 开始允许频道所有者将星星转换为 toncoin，以折扣价购买广告或交易加密货币。

However, Telegram has long suffered from scams and grifts. Since November 2023, scammers have been actively peddling different schemes to steal toncoins from users, as per a report from Kaspersky. Durov addressed this issue in a message last week, saying that the company is working to mitigate such scams.

然而，Telegram 长期以来饱受诈骗和欺诈之苦。根据卡巴斯基的报告，自 2023 年 11 月以来，诈骗者一直在积极兜售不同的方案，从用户那里窃取 toncoin。杜罗夫在上周的一条消息中谈到了这个问题，称该公司正在努力减少此类诈骗。

“Soon, Telegram will begin displaying the month of registration and principal country for public accounts (similar to Instagram). We will also allow organizations to use their mini apps to issue labels for channels, creating a decentralized marketplace for third-party verification,” he wrote in a message on his channel.

“很快，Telegram 将开始显示公共账户的注册月份和主要国家/地区（类似于 Instagram）。我们还将允许组织使用他们的迷你应用程序为频道发布标签，为第三方验证创建一个去中心化的市场，”他在频道上的一条消息中写道。
