Telegram Gifts: Turning Chats into On-Chain Collectibles on TON
💎 Telegram Gifts are turning regular in-chat gestures into on-chain collectibles: bought, upgraded, and traded directly in Telegram on TON.
In under a year, they’ve driven over $78.6M in primary sales and $312.2M in trading volume, with 541,000+ trading gifts on-chain.
How it works:
▪️ Buy a gift with Telegram Stars and send it in chat
▪️ After 14 days, choose to upgrade it into a collectible on TON
▪️ Use it on your profile, in trades, mini-apps, and gated channels
On TON, social expression becomes something you can actually own, and TON provides fast finality, low fees, and a developer-friendly environment for it to happen.

💎NFTs on TON
NFTs on TON are shifting from speculation to tools for access, identity, and rewards inside Telegram.
Early NFTs proved on-chain digital ownership but were highly speculative. Since 2024, NFTs have been used as loyalty credentials, tickets, and participation badges. And now they are evolving with NFT 2.0 on TON.
Why TON in 2025:
▪️Scalable Layer 1 with low fees and deep Telegram integration
▪️Telegram-native marketplaces, mini-apps, and wallets like Tonkeeper and Wallet in Telegram
TON NFT 2.0 standards:
▪️TEP-62, TEP-64, and TEP-66 define NFT cores, collections, and royalty logic
▪️Mint Platform and wallets can flag royalty_violation when terms are bypassed
Looking to 2026, TON Foundation is scaling to support billions of NFT interactions. And NFTs act as portable records for rewards, access, and memberships across mini-apps

🌐 2025 in Review: DeFi on TON
At the start of the year, TON DeFi was a handful of DEXs and early stablecoin experiments.
By December, it looked very different:
▪️Ethena brought yield-bearing synthetic dollars (USDe, tsUSDe)
▪️~60 tokenized U.S. equities went live via @Wallet, xStocks, and Kraken
▪️ TON Wallet launched in the U.S., adding swaps and payments for millions more users
Together, these pieces expanded DeFi on TON, bringing financial tools inside the app where people already spend their time.

It’s time to announce the winners, following yesterday's Live Judging session!
But before that, we want to thank all the creators who participated in this initiative, as well as all the judges for their time & contribution to score each of the artworks!
The level of creativity was unmatched & we may have another surprise for all the participants at the later stage!
Besides that, We decided to highlight several more amazing artworks, that unfortunately didn’t make it to top20, but are very stunning & deserve some attention:
- @notapes - art
- @exlot - art
- @yotsubagoharu - art
- @Liteelon - art
Please also reach out to us!
P.S.(i) we had technical difficulties while voting, and it took us a little while to sort it out, for which we want to apologize to all the participants. (ii) If your artwork wasn’t shown on the show it doesn’t necessarily mean that it was not included in the competition. (iii) we’ve strived to achieve transparency each step of the way, and want to remind everyone that the final score is based on 4 judges scoring the art, not only ONE.There were a few more flaws that we identified while running this initiative, and will be focusing on adjusting the process, to make it even more transparent & smooth for all the participants next time.
Prizes will be distributed to the winners within the next 5 days, please make sure to reach out to us directly via X profile where your art was submitted, with your Telegram @ in the message.
As for those who submit the art via Telegram – we already have your Usernames, Thank you everyone for participating!
stay tuned for more 🫵
