NFT Stickers, Welcome to Telegram!

On the night of December 20–21, Telegram launched the long-awaited marketplace for NFT stickers — Sticker Store.

⭐️ Currently, the app features collections from Blum, DOGS, Flappy Bird, and even BAYC, all available for purchase with Stars. BAYC performed the best, becoming the first to sell out stickers priced at 5,000 Stars each. In the future, Notcoin and Pudgy Penguins are also expected to join the lineup.

Soon, tokenization and NFT claiming — the main feature of these stickers — will be launched, enabling them to be traded on GetGems.

⭐️ Now, Planeton is one step closer to tokenization and turning planes into NFT stickers.

How TON Became a Leader in Mass Airdrops

The year 2024 was truly a breakthrough for TON. The massive airdrops, reaching millions of users, not only demonstrated the power of the blockchain but also elevated the ecosystem to a new level.

🤑 Spring: The Notcoin Airdrop — The Beginning
At that time, there were no tools in TON for mass distributions.

This changed with the introduction of Mass Sender: a service that allowed control over transaction speed, avoiding network overloads.

🐶 Summer: Experiments with TokenTable
The $DOGS project introduced a new approach: users could claim their rewards independently, paying the fees themselves.

However, the service proved unstable, leading the team to revert to the reliable Mass Sender.

📍 Autumn: Mintless Jettons and New Standards
By autumn, Mintless Jettons emerged — a revolutionary token standard that reduces network load and lowers costs.

Over the year, TON evolved from having no solutions to implementing three significant tools. The blockchain is now capable of handling enormous network loads and supporting the largest token distributions. Are you ready for the next airdrops?

NFT-Gifts in Telegram: What You Need to Know

Last week, Pavel Durov announced the tokenization of Telegram gifts.

This feature is not yet available for all gifts, likely because the team is still working on the necessary preparations 🖼

Once tokenized, gifts gain unique attributes: model, background, and pattern, each with varying rarity.

⭐️ Transformation cost: 25 Stars, which, according to Durov, are used to cover blockchain fees on TON.

NFT marketplaces are already working on integrating these gifts, with a tentative launch expected by the end of January.

Innovators have already created temporary marketplaces on Telegram without blockchain integration. Plush Pepe and Durov's Cap are particularly popular, with the former selling for as much as 150 TON 🔥
