Bug: Unable to update display name; "Telegram validation failed at server" despite verified Telegram account #53

Description

@anihdev

Summary

Attempting to change the display name from the Community Profile page consistently fails with the error:

Telegram validation failed at server

The display name remains unchanged even though the account is already Telegram verified.


Environment

  • Platform: CKBoost
  • Page: Community Profile
  • Browser: (Chrome Desktop)
  • Wallet Used: (JoyId 'connected')
  • Telegram Status: Verified

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log into CKBoost.
  2. Navigate to Community Profile.
  3. Click Edit display name.
  4. Enter a new display name.
  5. Click Save changes.

Expected Behavior

The display name should update successfully after saving and the required on-chain confirmation tx.


Actual Behavior

  • The request buffers for several seconds.
  • The update fails.
  • The following error is displayed:
Telegram validation failed at server

Additional Context

  • The account already shows Telegram Verified on the profile.
  • This issue does not prevent participation in quests or other platform functionality (for now).
  • Originally, the display name represented a team registration ("Summer and Paschal"). Since that event has ended, I wanted to change it back to my individual name.
  • If display names are intentionally immutable after registration, a message indicating this would provide a better user experience.

Possible Cause

It appears the display name update endpoint may be performing Telegram validation during the save operation, even for users who are already verified, causing the request to fail server-side.


Impact

Severity: Low

This is primarily a profile management issue and does not appear to affect campaign participation or quest submissions.
