Telegram lets creators share paid content to channels
Telegram launched a digital currency called Stars for in-app use last month. Now, the company is expanding its use cases to paid content. The chat app is also allowing channels to convert the stars they have to Toncoin — the cryptocurrency Telegram uses over The Open Network (TON) blockchain. Alternatively, they can use them to get discounts for channel promotions.
The company initially launched Stars to pay for digital goods offered by bots and apps within Telegram. Now, content creators can post content, which users can unlock with Stars.
