Telegram recently updated its Checklists feature—details can be found at https://telegram.org/blog/checklists-suggested-posts In short, Telegram Premium users can now create interactive checklists in any chat, where the creator or authorized members can mark tasks as completed or add new items.

Collaborative Task Management

Unlike typical checklists, this update allows group members to complete tasks collaboratively. This reflects Telegram’s push toward community-driven operations, supporting groups focused on joint development or content creation. It’s especially useful for coordinating tasks that require collective effort. While it can also be used for simpler scenarios like organizing roles at a party, the deeper significance lies in how Telegram is shaping the future of community management.

A Shift Toward Community Co-Creation

Recent updates show Telegram moving away from a creator-to-audience content model toward emphasizing collaborative community creation and shared community-building. This approach naturally fits many Web3 organizations and remote teams that collaborate entirely online.

Strategic Positioning in the Blockchain Space

Given Telegram’s strong presence in blockchain communities, this evolution positions it to gradually challenge and potentially surpass Discord in the DAO and co-creation community space over time.
