BotCloud will allow developers to create and run server-side Cloud Functions directly on Telegram's infrastructure. Instead of maintaining their own server or using webhooks, developers will be able to write JavaScript code in BotFather, and Telegram will execute it in the cloud.
The current update already includes a Cloud Functions editor, the ability to create, edit, save, and delete functions, as well as validation for function names to ensure they are unique and meet the required rules.
Telegram has also introduced a new domain, cloud.telegram.org, for BotCloud.

BotCloud in BotFather is now available to a limited number of users. Telegram has started sending invitations to test the new Bot API with BotCloud support.
With BotCloud, developers will be able to run bots, JavaScript code, and databases directly on Telegram's infrastructure, without the need to maintain their own servers.
For now, access is by invitation only, while the documentation is already available to testers.

The t.me domain is temporarily unavailable. You may experience issues opening Telegram links from external sources. @telelakel
According to reports, the domain has been blocked by the Identity Digital (Donuts / Afilias) registry, the technical operator of the .me domain.
For now, you can use the alternative telegram.me links instead.

I contacted Identity Digital, the registry operator for the .ME domain zone, to request the reason why t.me was placed on "serverHold".
The company has now responded and confirmed that the domain was suspended due to OFAC-related compliance requirements.
Identity Digital also stated that, under its agreements with accredited registrars, it cannot provide further details directly to third parties. Any additional communication regarding the registry action must go through the domain's registrar, GoDaddy.

Telegram for iOS users may encounter an issue where, without Telegram Premium, they are unable to send messages using the Quote formatting.
This is a bug — the feature has not become paid and will be fixed in a future update.
As a workaround, tap Send Without Formatting — the message containing the Quote will be sent successfully.
