<h1 id="dev_page_title">How does Fragment work?</h1>
<div id="dev_page_content"><p><a href="https://fragment.com">Fragment</a> is a <strong>free platform</strong> which facilitates the transaction of collectibles between users. It supports direct, <strong>secure</strong> and <strong>anonymous</strong> sales as well as <strong>public auctions</strong> where everyone can participate over a period of time. To provide this service transparently, Fragment takes full advantage of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram_Open_Network">TON</a>, a blockchain technology initially developed by Telegram.</p>
<p>If you have used similar platforms before, go ahead and connect your Telegram account and your <a href="https://tonkeeper.com/">TON wallet</a> to <a href="https://fragment.com">Fragment</a>. You can then bid on any available auction, either in the featured list on the <strong>homepage</strong> or via the <strong>search bar</strong> at the top.</p>
<p>If you are not familiar with these terms and don&#39;t know where to start, simply follow the handy <a href="#what-is-a-collectible">tutorial</a> available below.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor-link" href="#what-is-a-collectible"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="what-is-a-collectible"></a>What is a Collectible?</h3>
<p>A <strong>collectible</strong> is a unique item (e.g. a username, virtual phone number, etc.) that is <strong>permanently recorded</strong> on the public TON blockchain as property owned by the holder of the corresponding address. TON offers a free, distributed and secure interface for developers to integrate collectibles into their platforms.</p>
<p>Once you obtain a collectible, it is yours <strong>forever</strong> and you are free to show it off, sell it, or take advantage of the features it unlocks. The unique functionalities tied to collectibles will depend on how each platform chooses to support them.</p>
<p>Fragment is integrated with <a href="https://telegram.org">Telegram</a> usernames giving users the ability to securely acquire and exchange catchy collectible usernames, as well as <a href="#auctioning-basic-usernames">convert existing usernames</a> on Telegram into collectibles. Additionally, Fragment allows users to purchase anonymous numbers that can be used to register a Telegram account without tying it to a SIM card.</p>
<p>Other services are free to integrate collectibles to unlock cross-platform, permanent perks for their users.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#how-can-i-purchase-collectibles"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="how-can-i-purchase-collectibles"></a>How can I purchase collectibles?</h4>
<p>You can purchase a collectible on <a href="https://fragment.com">Fragment</a> by exchanging it with a special currency called <strong>Toncoin</strong> the amount you need will depend on what the current highest bid is, just like any other auction.</p>
<p>To use this currency you must first <a href="#creating-a-wallet">create a secure wallet</a> to store it, <a href="#depositing-funds">deposit new funds</a> in it and finally <a href="#connecting-to-fragment-and-telegram">connect it to Fragment</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you&#39;re running into any issue while following this tutorial, check out the <a href="#faq">FAQ</a> section below.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#creating-a-wallet"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="creating-a-wallet"></a>Creating a Wallet</h4>
<p>To create your wallet, simply tap on <a href="https://tonkeeper.com">this link</a> and install the <strong>Tonkeeper</strong> app with one of the available buttons. Once you have installed it, tap on <em>Get Started &gt; Create New Wallet</em> and follow the instructions on the screen.</p>
<p>You&#39;ll soon be presented with a numbered list of words this is the equivalent of your <strong>password</strong> and you <strong>must</strong> write it down or store it securely. Failure to do so <strong>will</strong> result in the irreversible loss of your wallet, funds and collectibles.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>With non-custodial wallets like TonKeeper nobody holds the keys to your funds but you. While this is very secure, it also means that if you lose the keys nobody will be able to help you restore them; be sure to <strong>back up your credentials</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#depositing-funds"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="depositing-funds"></a>Depositing funds</h4>
<p>Once your wallet is ready, you&#39;ll have to <strong>deposit funds</strong> in it. To deposit existing TON stored somewhere else (e.g. from a friend, family, etc.), scan the <strong>QR code</strong> under the <em>receive</em> button. If you <strong>do not own</strong> any TON, you will need to buy it.</p>
<p>A list of reputable platforms which offer this service is available <a href="https://ton.org/buy-toncoin">here</a>; some of them may ask for a form of identification this is to be expected as you will be exchanging funds.</p>
<p>No matter which platform you pick, be sure to insert <strong>your wallet address</strong> when you are prompted for one if you don&#39;t insert the correct wallet address, your funds may be lost. For maximum safety, copy-paste your wallet address directly from the app.</p>
<div>
<a href="/file/464001873/1197c/lLV6e87nax0.85567/d67faa21c2f662706b" target="_blank"><img src="/file/464001873/1197c/lLV6e87nax0.85567/d67faa21c2f662706b" title="Deposit Funds" class="dev_page_image" width=80% /></a>
</div>
<p><strong>Do not</strong> send funds to the address in the screenshots above they just provide an example of where to look <strong>in your own wallet</strong> app.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Don&#39;t panic if your new funds don&#39;t appear immediately! Transactions usually happen within seconds, but may sometimes take longer. If you still don&#39;t see them after 30 minutes, check out the <a href="#faq">FAQ</a> section below.</p>

<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#connecting-to-fragment-and-telegram"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="connecting-to-fragment-and-telegram"></a>Connecting to Fragment and Telegram</h4>
<p>Once your funds show up in your <strong>wallet</strong>, open <a href="https://fragment.com">Fragment</a> and use the button in the top-right corner to <strong>log in</strong>. You will find a Telegram <strong>login widget</strong> where you can enter your phone number in international format. Other users <strong>will not</strong> see your Telegram account or phone number, even if you participate in an auction.</p>
<p>After logging in with Telegram, use the <strong>Connect TON</strong> button to <strong>log in with Tonkeeper</strong>. If you&#39;re using Fragment from a separate device, simply scan the <strong>QR code</strong> from your Tonkeeper app; if you&#39;re using the <strong>same phone</strong>, tap the button right below the QR.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Remember that the Tonkeeper app has a built-in QR scanner in the top-right corner of the screen.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#bidding-ton"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="bidding-ton"></a>Bidding TON</h4>
<p>After connecting to Fragment you&#39;re all set and ready to bid on <strong>any available collectible</strong>. To do so, tap on one of the available auctions, enter an amount, confirm it and pay via Tonkeeper just like you did when you were logging in.</p>
<p>During bidding, whoevers bid is first to the blockchain will get the bid at that price. If your bid wasnt reflected in the blockchain before the auction ends, you will get the money back and lose the bid. Your money will also be returned if somebody else outbids you.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Usernames listed as <em>Taken</em> are currently in use and not available for sale. However, you can pay a <strong>small fee</strong> to <a href="#why-is-the-collectible-i-want-marked-as-unavailable">notify their owner</a> that you are interested in acquiring the name. To do so, search for the username on Fragment, open its page and tap on &#39;<em>Make an offer</em>&#39;.</p>

<p>If you own a collectible, you are free to either sell it directly or auction it to the public at any time. To do so, tap on <a href="/my/assets">My Assets</a> and select either <em>Put up for auction</em> or <em>Sell</em> depending on what you want to do.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you decide to auction one of your unique items (e.g., usernames, phone numbers, etc.), remember that you can set an optional <strong>maximum price</strong> which, if paid, will immediately end the auction.

<h2><a class="anchor-link" href="#faq"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="faq"></a>FAQ</h2>
<p>This is a list of frequently asked questions on Fragment and Telegram collectibles.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-deposited-some-money-but-my-wallet-is-empty-what-happened"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-deposited-some-money-but-my-wallet-is-empty-what-happened"></a>Q: I deposited some money but my wallet is empty, what happened?</h4>
<p>Not to worry, this is likely due to one of the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>You did not wait long enough most transactions take a few seconds, but some might take 30 minutes or more.</li>
<li>You are looking in the wrong place, funds will not appear directly on Fragment, they&#39;re only visible in your <strong>Tonkeeper wallet</strong>.</li>
<li>You have selected the wrong wallet within Tonkeeper. One “account” can contain several wallets; to fix this, go to <em>Settings &gt; Active address</em> and try rotating through them until you find the one with your funds.</li>
<li>Your transaction didn&#39;t go through check with your bank or credit card, as some may deny unusual purchases automatically.</li>
</ul>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-are-there-any-transaction-fees"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-are-there-any-transaction-fees"></a>Q: Are there any transaction fees?</h4>
<p>Collectibles are subject to a <strong>5% platform fee</strong> on each sale (direct sales and the highest bid when an auction ends). Transactions may also be subject to small <strong>blockchain fees</strong> (~1 Toncoin) that are outside Fragment&#39;s control.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-what-39s-the-conversion-fee"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-what-39s-the-conversion-fee"></a>Q: What&#39;s the conversion fee?</h4>
<p>Owners of basic usernames can <a href="#auctioning-basic-usernames">auction them</a> on Fragment <strong>converting the usernames</strong> into collectibles. A flat <strong>conversion fee</strong> of <strong>5</strong> Toncoins is deducted from the proceeds of this initial auction.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This fee is collected <strong>only once</strong>. All future sales for a collectible are only subject to the <a href="#q-are-there-any-transaction-fees">5% platform fee</a> and necessary blockchain fees.</p>

<p>Some collectibles may be reserved and will become available at a later date. Others could have been bought before you. </p>
<p>Basic Telegram usernames that are currently in use are marked as <em>taken</em>. Fragment lets you make anonymous offers to the username owner, who can choose to <a href="#auctioning-basic-usernames">make it available for purchase</a> at any time.</p>

<p>This is likely due to one of the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>You did not <a href="#activating-your-collectible-on-telegram">enable the collectible</a> on Telegram this <strong>is not</strong> the same as assigning it on Fragment, it&#39;s a separate step.</li>
<li>You are using an outdated client that doesn&#39;t support collectibles - please <strong>update</strong> your app to version <strong>9.1</strong> or above.</li>
<li>You are looking at a cached or outdated menu, please try fully <strong>closing</strong> and <strong>reopening</strong> your app.</li>
</ul>

<p>Yes, upgrading a collectible username is <strong>permanent</strong>. You can freely trade your upgraded collectible or assign it to a different bot it will never lose its upgraded status even if it changes owners.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-will-i-lose-my-collectibles-if-i-lose-my-phone-account-session"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-will-i-lose-my-collectibles-if-i-lose-my-phone-account-session"></a>Q: Will I lose my collectibles if I lose my phone/account/session/phone number?</h4>
<p><strong>No</strong>, as long as you safely store the backup credentials (i.e. word list) of your TON wallet, your collectibles will <strong>always be safe</strong> and you can reassign them to a new Telegram account at any time. This is also true for any platform supporting the collectibles.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-are-my-collectibles-tied-to-any-specific-platform"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-are-my-collectibles-tied-to-any-specific-platform"></a>Q: Are my collectibles tied to any specific platform?</h4>
<p><strong>No</strong>, as long as you safely store the backup credentials (i.e. word list) of your TON wallet, your collectibles will <strong>always be safe</strong> regardless of which platform you use them on.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-can-i-integrate-collectibles-into-my-own-platform"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-can-i-integrate-collectibles-into-my-own-platform"></a>Q: Can I integrate collectibles into my own platform?</h4>
<p><strong>Yes</strong>, the TON blockchain is publicly accessible and anyone is free to reference collectibles or use them within their own platform.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-lost-my-wallet-can-fragment-recover-it"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-lost-my-wallet-can-fragment-recover-it"></a>Q: I lost my wallet, can Fragment recover it?</h4>
<p>Fragment is not able to restore wallets as it never stores or comes into contact with private credentials. Wallets are strictly private and it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the recovery keys are properly stored.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-bought-a-collectible-but-now-i-39d-like-to-buy-a-better-one"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-bought-a-collectible-but-now-i-39d-like-to-buy-a-better-one"></a>Q: I bought a collectible but now I&#39;d like to buy a better one, can Fragment replace it?</h4>
<p>All purchases are final since ownership is permanently fixed in the blockchain, however, nothing prevents buyers from purchasing multiple collectibles.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-what-happens-if-somebody-places-a-higher-bid-than-me"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-what-happens-if-somebody-places-a-higher-bid-than-me"></a>Q: What happens if somebody places a higher bid than me?</h4>
<p>If somebody places a higher bid your Toncoins will be refunded automatically. Funds will normally reappear in your wallet within a few seconds, but this may sometimes take longer due to the nature of the blockchain network.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-have-the-highest-bid-in-an-active-auction-but-would-like-to"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-have-the-highest-bid-in-an-active-auction-but-would-like-to"></a>Q: I have the highest bid in an active auction but would like to place an even higher bid. Will I lose my funds?</h4>
<p><strong>No,</strong> any time someone (including yourself) outbids you, your previous bid will be refunded immediately. </p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-sold-my-collectible-but-i-want-it-back-can-fragment-revert-t"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-sold-my-collectible-but-i-want-it-back-can-fragment-revert-t"></a>Q: I sold my collectible but I want it back. Can Fragment revert the transaction?</h4>
<p>Transactions are permanent this secures your entities but also means that once a purchase is finalized it cannot be undone. Of course, you are free to buy back the collectible from its new owner, if they agree.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-put-my-basic-username-up-for-auction-but-i-changed-my-mind-c"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-put-my-basic-username-up-for-auction-but-i-changed-my-mind-c"></a>Q: I put my basic username up for auction but I changed my mind, can I take it back?</h4>
<p>You can <a href="#canceling-an-auction">cancel</a> the auction <strong>before the first bid is placed</strong>. After the first bid, the auction starts and cannot be canceled.</p>
<p>Likewise, the conversion of a basic username into a collectible is <strong>permanent</strong> and cannot be reversed after the first bid is placed.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-auctioned-my-basic-username-and-nobody-bid-on-it-why-wasn-39"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-auctioned-my-basic-username-and-nobody-bid-on-it-why-wasn-39"></a>Q: I auctioned my basic username and nobody bid on it, why wasn&#39;t it assigned to me?</h4>
<p>The collectible was assigned to the wallet that placed the highest bid during the auction. This <strong>can be different</strong> from the wallet you connected to Fragment. If nobody else participated in the auction, you will find the collectible in the wallet you had connected to Fragment when the username was first made available for auction.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-i-own-a-basic-telegram-username-but-cannot-put-it-up-for-aucti"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-i-own-a-basic-telegram-username-but-cannot-put-it-up-for-aucti"></a>Q: I own a basic Telegram username but cannot put it up for auction, why?</h4>
<p>When Telegram <strong>denies</strong> Fragment&#39;s request to auction a basic username, it is likely due to one of the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>You did not set up a <a href="https://t.me/TelegramTips/67">2FA password</a> on your Telegram account, or you set it up too recently.</li>
<li>You haven&#39;t owned that username for a sufficiently long period of time.</li>
<li>The username has been recently moved (e.g. from your account to one of your channels, etc.).</li>
<li>Telegram has other reasons to believe you might be acting in bad faith.</li>
</ul>

<p>To fully disconnect your Telegram account from Fragment and log in with another phone number, simply open your Telegram app and navigate to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Android</strong>: <em>Settings</em> &gt; <em>Privacy &amp; Security</em> &gt; <em>Bots and websites</em> &gt; <em>Logged in with Telegram</em> </li>
<li><strong>iOS</strong>: <em>Settings</em> &gt; <em>Privacy &amp; Security</em> &gt; <em>Active Websites</em> &gt; <em>Logged in with Telegram</em> </li>

<p>Fragment allows users to make offers for basic Telegram usernames in exchange for a small fee all offers are forwarded <strong>anonymously</strong> from buyer to seller and neither party is made aware of any identifying information (e.g., Telegram id, username, etc.).</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note that everyone will see which TON wallet made the offer.</p>

What happens now?</h4>
<p>Making an offer for a username marked as <em>Taken</em> requires a small non-refundable fee to show that your offer is serious and not meant to bother the username owner. The amount you enter in How much would you pay? is <strong>not binding</strong> and you will not be obligated to pay that price if the name becomes available for auction.</p>
<p>Following your offer, the owner can make the name available for purchase on Fragment via a <a href="#auctioning-basic-usernames">public auction</a> they are free to choose any <strong>minimum bid</strong>. Anyone will be able to bid for the username, and you are free to participate in the auction to acquire the name.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor-link" href="#q-will-i-be-notified-if-the-username-becomes-available-for-aucti"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><a class="anchor" name="q-will-i-be-notified-if-the-username-becomes-available-for-aucti"></a>Q: Will I be notified if the username becomes available for auction?</h4>
<p>If you were <a href="https://fragment.com/about#connecting-to-fragment-and-telegram">logged in with your Telegram account</a> on Fragment when you made your offer, you will be automatically subscribed to updates about the username.</p>
<p>If you were not logged in, you can always <a href="https://fragment.com/about#connecting-to-fragment-and-telegram">log in</a>, open the page of the desired username and tap <strong>&#39;Subscribe to updates&#39;</strong>.</p>
