Telegram's recent update, launched on June 6, 2024, introduces a new method for monetization called Telegram Stars, allowing bots and mini apps to sell digital goods and services directly to users. Through in-app purchases or PremiumBot, users can acquire Telegram Stars to spend on a wide array of digital products such as e-books, online courses, and in-game items. This strategy aligns with Apple and Google's sales policies, ensuring compliance and represents a significant move towards expanding Telegram's commerce capabilities, with developers soon able to withdraw earnings in Toncoins via Fragment.
