According to Odaily, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the launch of a new Affiliate Platform this month, designed to enable users and channels to earn Star by inviting others to join mini-programs. In just 12 days, the platform has seen the creation of 15,000 affiliate programs, with 4 million users being referred to these mini-programs.

The Affiliate Platform offers channel owners the opportunity to generate income while supporting mini-program developers in acquiring new users. Unlike similar systems, Telegram's platform is transparent and ensures that commissions are immediately awarded whenever a referred user completes a transaction within a mini-program. This initiative allows anyone to start or join an affiliate program on Telegram, enhancing user engagement and providing a new revenue stream for participants.
