Telegram internal market for reselling NFT gifts disabled.

@telelakel

The internal market for reselling NFT gifts is working.
They might have been improving it for new functionality or were there other fixes.

UPD: 12:40 (UTC) market is disabled again.

UPD2: 12:54 (UTC) market is working again.

You can now skip the "casino" animation when upgrading a gift.
There’s also automatic conversion for the value field (it now shows the amount in your local currency).

Soon you’ll be able to withdraw Stars from your account via Fragment.

Previously, this feature had been available on the test server since February 2025, but it was added to the production server today.

Note that Star withdrawals are not yet available and will likely become accessible after the stable 12.0.0 update, along with TON withdrawals from accounts.

Today, Telegram test server was restricted for all users.
Most user accounts and bots were deleted, and the purchase of non-limited gifts was also restricted.
From now on, this server is only for Telegram testers and developers (as it was originally intended, but many kids joined and it turned into chaos).

Set a gift as your chat background.

Also, the @Stickers bot now has a MiniApp where you can view your sets, create new ones, change names, view statistics, delete stickers and emojis, and change their order.

The "Value" tab for gifts is currently disabled by the server.

Setting a gift as a background is only available for Plush Pepes, Precious Peaches, Durov's Caps, and Heart Lockets gifts.

@telelakel

The "Value" tab for gifts enabled.

New gifts, but...
Go back to sleep if it’s still night where you are.

@telelakel

For each user, the waiting time to unlock a gift is different. What it depends on is unknown.
There are also purchase limits per account:
— Suitcase: 3 gifts;
— Pen: 4 gifts.

This feature was tested only about an hour ago on the test server, which is why I didn’t notice it.

@telelakel

New gifts with the "Premium" label have appeared, and you also need to wait a specified time before purchasing them.

Purchase limits per user:
— Book: 4 items.
— Briefcase: 5 items.

Note: they cannot be sent to a channel.

@telelakel

On the test server, changes have been made to the gift upgrade system, and it’s likely they will soon be applied to the production server.

For example: gift is released with a supply of 1,000. For the first 500, the price will drop more (10 stars per hour). For the remaining 500, the price will drop more less (2 stars per hour). This is just an example.

So, the price now depends on how many upgrades the gift already has.

Although, everything could still change 🤔
