Durov and his Telegram Stars
1. New payments for mini-apps: Telegram launches Telegram Stars, allowing users to pay for digital services in mini-apps through in-app purchases on Android and iOS.
2. Easy withdrawal of funds: Mini-application developers can withdraw earned Stars through Fragment using TON or use them to promote their applications on Telegram on preferential terms.
3. Subsidizing Ads: Telegram will subsidize ads purchased with Stars, which reduces the overall commission to almost zero, making running apps on Telegram more profitable than traditional mobile apps.
4. Rapid growth and viral spread: Telegram mini-apps do not require installation, which helps them grow rapidly and spread to tens of millions of users in a few weeks.
