Messages on behalf of channels with Premium subscription
Users have reported that accounts without an active Premium subscription can no more comment on channel posts or send messages in groups on behalf of a channel.
A close source to the Telegram development team talks about that decision this way:
βSince the introduction of this feature, it has been difficult to assess the scale of the scams made.
80% of the comments made and messages sent on behalf of channels were identified as spam. Previously, channel and group administrators suggested removing this feature entirely, but instead of that, we have limited it to those who have an active Premium subscription. Hopefully, this will reduce the spam operations that take advantage of this feature, without having to entirely drop the feature.β

Telegram is preparing to sell usernames on an auction
The Daily TON noticed βTelegram usernamesβ collection on βGetgemsβ TON NFT platform.
For now, the usernames are not available for purchase, but The Daily TON noticed some evidence that allows us to speculate that these NFT collections are actually published by the Telegram team.
Earlier this year Telegram revoked a huge part of usernames from βinactiveβ channels, after which Pavel Durov announced βWeb 3.0β integration in the messenger and promised to release revoked usernames on an auction. To justify own actions, Telegram launched username.t.me links.
