New Telegram Gifts Can Be Converted into NFTs

Telegram has announced the launch of a new Gifts feature, hoping that within a year they will be convertible into TON-based NFTs. For the holidays, users can now send each other gifts using Telegram Stars and congratulate friends and family with animated illustrations and personalized messages.

The platform launched its in-game currency Stars in June last year. It allows mini-apps based on it to accept payments for digital services. The Telegram team emphasized that Stars can also be used to support content creators.
