According to TechFlow, on October 6, Telegram CEO Du Rove announced in his personal channel that the "Gift" feature will be launched soon. Users can send gifts to relatives and friends, and the recipients can choose to display them on their profiles or sell them in exchange for "Stars". Some limited edition gifts will be converted into NFTs based on the TON blockchain later this year. Users can auction and trade these tokenized gifts outside of Telegram, and ownership will be recorded on the blockchain.

Du Rove said that this feature will provide users with a new way of social interaction and bring more application scenarios to the TON ecosystem. In addition, Telegram will also launch other new features, the details of which will be disclosed in subsequent announcements.
