In meantime, re were even concerns that GeplanteBlockchain project of chat Service itself could have been a fake from beginning. So far, Telegram has not yet officially announced anything. The reports Beziehensich mainly on people from scene as well as on a geleaktes white paper explaining plans of a telegram open Network (sound). It could also be a part of a sophisticated fake.
