On Telegram, your phone number was never visible to strangers – users control who can see their number and whether others are allowed to find them by their phone number.

Today starts a new era of privacy. You can have a Telegram account without a SIM card and log in using blockchain-powered anonymous numbers available on the Fragment platform.

Auto-Delete All Chats

Telegram introduced self-destructing messages all the way back in 2013. Users can delete any messages they send or receive for both sides without leaving a trace. They can also set up auto-delete timers to clean up individual chats after a period of time.

Today Telegram is expanding your control over your digital footprint into the future. You can now set a global auto-delete timer to automatically remove messages in all new chats.

Existing chats will not be affected, but you can easily expand your auto-delete settings to any of them from the new menu in Settings > Privacy & Security > Auto-Delete Messages.

• The timer will be automatically applied to all your new chats with users. Regardless of who starts them, and all the new groups, you create.

Telegram also made it easier to set up auto-delete in small private groups – the timer can now be enabled by any members who are allowed to change the group’s name and picture.

Ultimate Privacy

Furthermore, Telegram’s unique combination of removing messages for all participants without a trace, and controlling existing and future chats with auto-delete timers gives you full ownership of your entire message history. Together with using your account without a SIM card, it delivers ultimate privacy.

Aggressive Anti-Spam

Being one of the top-5 most downloaded apps in the world also makes Telegram one of the top-5 most desired targets for spammers. Huge Telegram chats sometimes rely on third-party anti-spam bots to help admins keep them clean. Such opt-in bots can be efficient because they are not constrained by Telegram’s commitment to user privacy and can afford to be more proactive than our built-in anti-spam systems.

In addition, admins of groups with over 200 members. They can also choose to unleash the full proactive power of Telegram’s own algorithms. Turning on the new Aggressive mode for the automated spam filters.

Temporary QR codes

Telegram users that have a public username can generate QR codes to quickly connect with people around them.

Now you can generate a temporary QR code. If you don’t have a username and are hiding your phone number from everyone. Scanning the code will let people instantly add you as a contact without knowing your phone number.

ABOUT Telegram

Telegram is a cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging app with a focus on security and speed. With Telegram, you can send messages, photos, videos, and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc), as well as create groups for up to 200,000 people or channels for broadcasting to unlimited audiences.

Moonbeam, the top destination for cross-chain connected applications, has extended its interoperability capabilities through the addition of Hyperlane, an interoperability platform for building interchain applications.

CROSS-CHAIN MESSAGING 

As a smart contract platform optimized for cross-chain scenarios. Moonbeam is designed to serve as an ideal deployment destination for applications that live across many chains. The addition of Hyperlane gives builders on Moonbeam even more cross-chain messaging capabilities and extends the number of networks connected to it, enabling developers to better construct all-in-one applications that securely communicate across many blockchains.

CONNECTED CONTRACTS

Cross-chain applications rely upon two core components to be effective: a number of smart contracts on various blockchains and a way to securely message between each of these instances. Moonbeam’s design allows it to be the hub of these many smart contracts, where connected contracts often act as “the brain” of the application and coordinate between many contracts on many chains.

The introduction of Hyperlane adds a valuable component to this approach, allowing developers to send secure messages between chains with varying architectures, regardless of whether they are rollups (app-specific or general), app chains, or heterogeneous monolithic chains. Hyperlane allows developers building on Moonbeam to access seven networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum, BNB, and Celo.

MESSAGE FROM Development Team Building On Moonbeam

“Messaging protocols like Hyperlane provide the critical capability that allows Moonbeam to serve developers building cross-chain applications. The Hyperlane integration provides Moonbeam developers access to unique destinations and novel features such as Sovereign Consensus, which gives developers fine-grained control over the security architecture of their applications. The addition of Hyperlane strengthens the ability of Moonbeam to support cross-chain connected protocols.” — Derek Yoo, CEO of PureStake, a development team building Moonbeam

Hyperlane has a unique focus on future-proofing and was built with flexibility in mind. As part of this mission to evolve with developers and their applications, Hyperlane uses an approach called Sovereign Consensus.

It lets developers configure their own security model utilizing Interchain Security Modules (ISMs). These ISMs let a developer mix and match their approaches to economic security. These are optimistic security, proof of authority, and any other security model they’d like to enable.

“Our mission at Hyperlane is to connect blockchains with seamless interfaces for developers so that they can serve users on any chain. This vision is so clearly aligned with Moonbeam, and we’re thrilled to collaborate in this growing ecosystem,” — Jon Kol, co-founder at Hyperlane

Moonbeam Offers Broad Protocol Support

Moonbeam offers broad protocol support for a variety of message-passing protocols, including LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole, Polkadot’s XCM, and now Hyperlane.

By offering a variety of messaging standards and formats, Moonbeam gives builders ultimate control over their cross-chain application design. Allowing them to optimize for efficiency as well as optimal user experience.

As cross-chain-connected contracts, applications can communicate and interact across blockchains using native assets on other chains. Without needing to move them, effectively makes Moonbeam DApps into access points from which a user can tap into many tokens and chains at once.

ABOUT Moonbeam

The Moonbeam platform uses integrated cross-chain messaging to allow developers to create smart contracts. Access services across many remote blockchains. This approach, plus Moonbeam’s developer-friendly EVM platform. It has vast tool support, and modern Substrate architecture creates the ideal development environment for building connected applications.

ABOUT Hyperlane

Hyperlane is an interoperability platform empowering developers to build interchain applications. These applications can communicate between blockchains and serve users regardless of the chain they are on. Hyperlane is building the simplest and most secure way to communicate between blockchains. It also allows developers to spend time focusing on their applications instead of on blockchain infrastructure
