Collectible usernames and anonymous numbers

How handle and number collectibles work, what they can and cannot do, and how transfers happen.

This guide is an outline. A long-form version with diagrams is in progress.

  1. 01

    Understand the item

    A collectible username is a handle recorded as an NFT. An anonymous +888 number is a login identifier inside one app, not a SIM.

  2. 02

    Check what it unlocks

    A number lets you sign in without a phone SIM. It cannot receive SMS from banks or ordinary calls.

  3. 03

    Verify the source

    Only use official pages reached from a bookmark. Clone sites copy auction layouts exactly.

  4. 04

    Learn the transfer flow

    Transfers are signed in a TON wallet. Read the destination and the item before you approve.

Common mistakes

  • Treating an anonymous number like a phone number for 2FA
  • Buying through a middleman in DMs
  • Ignoring renewal or linkage rules for the app account
