Telegram introduces NFT gifts, allowing users to trade and display limited-edition gifts on profiles and boosting engagement.
Limited-edition Telegram gifts can soon be converted into TON-based NFTs, creating new opportunities for blockchain enthusiasts.
Telegram’s new business features include a low-cost phone verification service, enhancing security and efficiency for companies.
Telegram is progressing with new features that include blockchain technology. Users of the messaging app may now give digital gifts to friends and family by using the new "Gift" function. These presents can either be shown on the recipient's profile or redeemed for Telegram "Stars," which users can use to purchase a range of in-app services, such as micro apps and creator support. Moreover, some gifts are limited editions, adding a unique twist for collectors.

Telegram plans to allow users to convert limited-edition gifts into TON-based NFTs later this year. Users will have the option to auction and trade these tokenized gifts outside Telegram, leveraging blockchain technology for ownership verification. Consequently, this move will likely increase engagement within the Telegram ecosystem. The introduction of NFTs could also draw more crypto enthusiasts to the platform.
Improved Services for Businesses and Users
Besides the "Gift" feature, Telegram has rolled out a new platform for businesses to verify customer phone numbers. This verification process costs only $0.01 per user and is quicker and more secure than SMS, marking an upgrade for businesses.
Additionally, video chats on iOS have been rebuilt to enhance performance and battery life, while Android now supports live streaming with RTMP, enabling seamless integration with popular broadcasting apps like OBS Studio.
Enhanced Reporting and Moderation
Telegram has also improved its moderation tools, adding more detailed options for users to report content that violates their terms of service. The platform dynamically updates reporting reasons based on real-time events, allowing for better content management and user safety.
Telegram’s continuous improvements—including NFT integration, advanced business services, and enhanced user reporting—reflect its commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation. These updates, particularly the upcoming NFT feature, set the stage for Telegram to further evolve as a platform that blends social interaction with digital ownership.
