Star Reward Withdrawals, Subsidized Ads and Bot API 7.6

Developers of bots accepting Telegram Stars ⭐️ can now withdraw rewards via the TON blockchain, or use stars to place subsidized Ads on Telegram.

Telegram takes nearly 0% commission and adds a 30% discount for ads to compensate for third-party payment system fees – you can read more here.

Bot API 7.6, released today, adds even more improvements for all bots and mini apps, like:

• Native multitasking – allowing mini apps to be minimized and expanded without loading delays.
• Default full-screen mode for mini apps opened by direct link.
• Support for sending paid media content on behalf of content creators.
• Updated transaction history, with support for Telegram Ads and bot-specified payloads.

• And more, see the full changelog for details.
