Telegram Stars
Definition
Telegram Stars are an in-app virtual currency that users buy inside Telegram and spend on digital goods and services in bots and mini apps.
Users purchase Stars through the official app stores, then use them to pay for paid posts, subscriptions, downloads, premium features and virtual gifts — all without leaving Telegram.
Creators who earn Stars from sales can convert their balance to TON, Telegram's integrated cryptocurrency, and from there to other value. Because purchasing happens through the app stores, Stars keep digital sales compliant with platform rules.
