🚀 Telegram’s Bold Move: Gifts to NFTs on $TON ! 💎

Telegram is diving deeper into the crypto wave, introducing an exciting feature that transforms its digital gifts into tradable NFTs on The Open Network (TON). Here’s the scoop:

🎁 Gifts Go NFT!

Launched in October, Telegram’s Gifts—a mix of animated art and heartfelt messages—just got a serious Web3 upgrade. With the latest update, over 20 gift items (like the cute Jelly Bunny or festive Santa Hat) can be upgraded into NFTs using Telegram Stars—the in-app currency linked to Toncoin (TON).

🔹 Custom Upgrades: Upgraded gifts feature unique appearances, from new backgrounds to personalized icons.

🔹 Buy, Sell, or Auction: These NFT collectibles can be sold, transferred, or even auctioned on TON marketplaces like Getgems.

🌐 Web3 Journey Accelerates

This isn’t Telegram’s first crypto rodeo. Let’s rewind:

2023: Launched the TON Space wallet for seamless blockchain onboarding.

2024: Introduced Telegram Stars, enabling developers to monetize through digital goods and games.

Now: Expanding mini-app ecosystems with tap-to-earn games and NFT functionalities.

📈 TON’s Rising Star

TON isn’t just along for the ride—it’s shining:

15th largest cryptocurrency by market cap (via CoinGecko).

All-time high: $8.25 in June 2024, now at $5.79 (still up 165% in a year!).

Originally built by Telegram as the Telegram Open Network, TON was revived by a passionate developer community post-2020 regulatory hurdles.

🕹️ What’s Next?

Dr. Awesome Doge, a pseudonymous TON core developer, sees this as the beginning: “Mini-apps and simple games are just the start—Telegram’s user base is a playground for endless possibilities.”

With Telegram’s massive global audience, this NFT evolution could be a game-changer for Web3 adoption.
