🎁 What Are Telegram Gifts

Telegram Gifts are virtual gifts that you can send to friends and acquaintances on Telegram. Gifts are purchased with Stars and are displayed on the recipient's profile.

🎁
Telegram Gifts — In Brief

Virtual gifts purchased with Stars that are displayed on your profile. Can be converted to NFT and sold for TON.

Why Telegram Gifts Exist

💝

Celebrate a Friend

Send a gift for a birthday, holiday, or just because — it's a nice touch!

Decorate Your Profile

Gifts are displayed on your profile — showcasing status and popularity.

💎

Collecting

Limited edition gifts are collectibles that can appreciate in value.

💰

Investing

Rare NFT gifts have grown 10–100x in value. There's real money to be made!

🎨 Types of Telegram Gifts

Telegram has three types of gifts with different properties:

1

🎁 Regular Gifts

Standard gifts with unlimited supply. Starting from 10 Stars. Displayed on your profile but have no collectible value. Perfect for a simple greeting.

2

⭐ Limited Edition Gifts

Gifts with a limited supply (e.g., 10,000 or 50,000 pieces). Each has a unique number and rarity attributes. Can be converted to NFT. Starting from 99 Stars.

3

💎 NFT Gifts

Limited edition gifts converted to NFTs on the TON blockchain. Fully owned by the holder, can be sold on Fragment or other marketplaces. Have market value in TON.

Rarity Attributes of Limited Edition Gifts

Each limited edition gift has random attributes that determine its rarity:

Rarity Symbol Chance Effect on Price
Common ~60% Base price
Rare 🔵 ~25% +50–100%
Unique 🟣 ~12% +200–500%
Legendary 🟡 ~3% +1000–5000%
💡
Tip

When you buy a limited edition gift, attributes are assigned randomly. The higher the rarity — the more you can sell the gift for as an NFT.
