PANews reported on October 6 that according to Du Rove's TG channel, Telegram has launched the "Gifts" gift feature, where gift recipients can choose to display gifts on their profiles or sell them in exchange for Telegram Stars. In addition, some gifts will be in limited supply, and later this year Telegram will also update features that allow limited edition gifts to be converted into TON-based NFTs. Users will be able to auction and trade these tokenized gifts outside of Telegram, and ownership will be recorded on the blockchain.
