A surprising part of Telegram lives on a blockchain. Collectible @usernames , anonymous +888 phone numbers and gifts are NFTs on The Open Network (TON), and so are .ton domains . They change hands every minute — yet simple questions like "which 4-letter usernames are on auction right now?" or "which .ton domains expired this month?" usually mean clicking through marketplaces one item at a time.

apiton.org is my answer to that: an explorer that lists all of it with a status (not listed, for sale, on auction, expired), a price and a history, plus a directory of live TON Sites with screenshots. As of 25 October 2026 it tracks:

Kind Total For sale On auction

Telegram usernames 674,469 44,460 16,871

Anonymous +888 numbers 136,566 440 84

.ton domains 199,832 28,734 120

…plus 28,623 expired .ton domains, 64,596 Telegram gifts and 382 live TON Sites.
