NFT Gift Sales for TON

In the new version of Telegram Beta, you can now sell collectible gifts on the internal marketplace in $TON. TON earned from sold gifts is added to your account balance and can later be used to pay for paid posts in channels.

You can list gifts with prices ranging from 1 $TON to 100,000 $TON. Gifts listed for TON can still be purchased using Stars. Telegram charges a 10 percent commission on each TON sale, while the commission for stars remains at 20 percent.

Global Keyword Post Search

In the latest version of Telegram Beta for Android, searching posts using keywords is now subject to a daily cap. To find posts, go to Search, select Posts and enter your keyword.

Users receive 10 free keyword searches each day. After that, you must spend 10 stars to unlock two more searches or wait for the next reset. This limit applies to all users including Premium. Non Premium users cannot access keyword searches at all.

This feature is currently available in the test backend.
