Support Posts by Sending Stars
Section 2.3 Subscriber Donations has revealed the ability to support posts by sending a dedicated star reaction on eligible channels.
Channel owners will be able to exchange the received stars on posts for Toncoin.
This does not mean other reactions will become paid. There is only one, dedicated star reaction that appears on eligible channels.
It is important to note that the behaviour of the feature we have explained is subject to change; it is not the final product, and has not been officially announced yet.

Rewards for Channel Owners
On June 30th, Telegram's official blog released an article mentioning, among other updates, the ability for channel owners to earn income through paid media content. In this post, the @tginfo editorial team explains what is known about this feature.
1. A channel administrator can publish a paid post. This feature is available to any channel administrators, regardless of the number of subscribers, type of channel (private or public), and other factors. The feature seems to not be available for channels that got marked as 18+ (such channels, for example, can't be viewed on iOS devices without disabling filtering).
2. If a subscriber pays to view such a post using "stars," these stars are credited to the channel's balance.
3. The channel's balance can be viewed on the "Monetization" tab in the "Statistics" section. This tab is visible only to the channel owner. For some channels, such as @tginfo, this tab became available only on July 4th, suggesting that the feature is being rolled out gradually.
4. Stars can be withdrawn from the channel no sooner than 21 days after they have been received. This is detailed in section "4.1 Balance" of the Terms of Service for Content Creators.
5. This section also outlines other important details about withdrawing stars. For instance, users are responsible for "timely" withdrawing all stars they have received, and the Telegram platform reserves the right to independently decide the timeframe for these withdrawals.
6. According to the article on Telegram's official blog, stars can be withdrawn in two ways: either by purchasing advertising on promote.telegram.org or by exchanging them for Toncoin through the Fragment.com platform. It is not yet known if both options are always available in all cases.
