Your Guide to TON NFTs 💎

🔜 Read it now

Everything you need to know about TON NFTs — by Zenith 🎁

🏆 Telegram now has significantly over 1 billion monthly active users, becoming the second most popular messaging app in the world (excluding the China-specific WeChat) 🥈

🔼User engagement is also rising. On average, each user opens Telegram 21 times daily and spends 41 minutes on the app every day. Meanwhile, our revenue growth has exploded, with $547M in profit in 2024 💵

😺 Ahead of us stands WhatsApp — a cheap, watered-down imitation of Telegram. For years, they’ve desperately tried to copy our innovations while burning billions on lobbying and PR campaigns to slow us down. They failed. Telegram grew, became profitable, and — unlike our competitor — retained its independence 🗽

⭐️ Why do you need Telegram Stars and how to buy them profitably?

⭐️ Last June, Telegram launched its internal currency, Telegram Stars . The move was made to simplify the payment of digital goods and services within the messaging ecosystem, as well as to comply with the requirements of Apple and Google's app stores.

⭐️ Previously, developers could accept payments directly , which was against the policies of these platforms and could have resulted in Telegram being removed from their stores. The introduction of stars ensured compliance with the rules and provided users with a convenient way to pay for digital content .

⭐️ Telegram Stars is the messenger's internal currency , which allows users to purchase digital goods and services within the messenger's ecosystem. In addition, they can be used to support favorite channels and authors. You can leave stars on posts as a donation or access paid content, showing that you appreciate them.

⭐️ There are several ways to buy Telegram Stars , each with its own characteristics, including cost and the need to go through the KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.

🌟 Purchase via App Store and Google Play
You can purchase Telegram Stars directly through the official Telegram app using in-app purchases: Apple Pay for iOS users and Google Pay for Android.

Due to App Store fees (~30%), this method may be more expensive than alternative methods. There is no KYC requirement, but payment details are tied to your Apple or Google account.

App Store and Google Play. The cost of 100 stars is about $2.99, or about $0.029 per star.

🌟 Purchase via the official Premium Bot
Shop through the official Telegram bot to purchase gifts in the form of stars and Telegram Premium, as well as to purchase them for raffles.

Prices in the bot are lower than purchases through the App Store or Google Play.

Premium Bot. The cost of 100 stars is about $2.26, or about $0.022 per star.

🌟 Purchase via Fragment
Fragment is a platform for buying Telegram Stars, Telegram Premium, anonymous Telegram numbers and usernames for TON.

Buying Telegram Stars via Fragment is the most profitable offer due to the absence of App Store fees. However, recently the platform requires mandatory KYC.

Fragment. The cost of 100 stars is approximately $1.49, or approximately $0.014 per star.

🌟 Purchase via SplitTg
Split.tg is an alternative service developed by enthusiasts that allows you to buy Telegram Stars, Telegram Premium and gifts for TON, DUST and other tokens, without the need to go through KYC.

The service fee is 2%, which makes it more profitable than purchasing through the App Store or Google Play. There is no need to undergo a KYC procedure.

SeparateTg. The cost of 100 stars is about $1.57, or about $0.0157 per star.

To summarize
For users who value anonymity and low fees, the Split.tg service, which does not require KYC, is more suitable.

For those who are not afraid of going through KYC, the Fragment platform can be a good option.

If convenience and ease of the process are more important than cost, purchasing through the App Store or Google Play will be the easiest method, albeit at a higher cost.

Before making a purchase, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the conditions and fees in force on the chosen platform, as well as to take into account possible changes in the KYC policy.

TON x LayerZero: Be Open with Cross-Chain Connectivity

TON has integrated LayerZero, a leading interoperability protocol, to connect with 100+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. This integration merges LayerZero’s trusted messaging infrastructure with TON, enabling seamless cross-chain asset transfers. With LayerZero, TON gains enhanced liquidity and access to major crypto assets, driving broader adoption.

Several key partners are leveraging LayerZero’s infrastructure on TON including: 

▪️ USDT0: A new USDT that uses LayerZero’s OFT Standard for seamless cross-chain transfers between TON, Tron, Ethereum, and Arbitrum.
▪️ Ethena: Its flagship $5B asset USDe will be its first asset to go live on TON. 
▪️ Stargate: The largest cross-chain bridge enabling seamless conversion of USDT from Ethereum and Tron into USDt-TON.

Developers also benefit from OFT Standard for token deployment, smart contract interoperability, and FunC++ for efficient development. Learn more in our latest blog article!

SBT Point Allocation System within TON Society🙏🏅

We would like to share with you the details of the points system and its distribution in TON Society. This system is designed to motivate members and reward them for their contributions to the community.

🔹 What are points?
Points are the points you get by completing various activities
These points are manually set by the TON Society team for each activity. Activity points are a separate entity, unrelated to points in other rankings such as the NY League

🔹 What activities are currently awarding points for?
We are currently in test mode and adding points for some activities in the Build, Contribute, and Participate sections. Some new activities in these sections appear without points - this is normal, and they will get points in the future

🔹 Will the activities in the Listening and Meeting sections be graded?
Yes, but not all of them. Our partners are currently implementing new methods to confirm participation in these activities. If these methods can reliably distinguish between those who actually participated in the event and those who did not, these activities will start earning points.

🔹 How are activity points determined?
We try to keep the logic simple and straightforward: the more complex the activity, the more points it earns. For example, tasks where you have to organize something or fix a bug in TON repositories are rewarded with a lot of points, while simple quests that can be completed in a few minutes are rewarded with fewer points.

🔹 Will the point values ​​change?
We want to keep the following logic: the more difficult the activity, the more points it earns. This principle remains unchanged. However, the number of points for specific activities may be revised. We carefully study the community's feedback and we appreciate you reporting inconsistencies in the scoring - it is very valuable to us

🔹 How will points be used in the future?
In the future, we plan to launch a separate leaderboard, where participants' places will be determined by the number of points earned during a certain period.

We will give more details on this as we get closer to the launch of the leaderboard , stay tuned.🙏🫴
