Limited Gifts in Telegram
In addition to the usual gifts, version 11.2 of Telegram introduced two "limited" gifts, released in limited quantities:
π β 500,000 lollipops priced at 15 stars each;
πΈ β 100,000 cherry blossoms priced at 25 stars each.
The total value of the entire offering of these two gifts amounted to 10 million stars, which is around $150,000 based on the exchange rate on Fragment.
In the announcement, Pavel Durov mentioned that this year Telegram will introduce the ability to convert limited-edition gifts into NFTs based on TON: users will be able to auction and trade these tokenized gifts outside of Telegram.
After this, the limited gifts were completely sold out within a few hours.
Once users have bought all the "limited" gifts, they will no longer be available to send. Those who received them will have unique gifts, at least until they decide to exchange them for "stars". This way, users can collect gifts marked as "limited".

Gift Privacy Settings
A new privacy setting has become available to Telegram users: βWho can display gifts on my profileβ.
Gifts from those users and Mini Apps that are allowed to send such gifts will be automatically published in the recipient's profile. And if a gift is sent by user who is not allowed to do so, then this gift will only be displayed in the chat with the giver, and will not be published in the profile.
Additionally, we note that the recipient of the gift in all cases can manually change the visibility of the received gift in their profile: both hide a previously published gift and publish a hidden one.

Converting Gifts to NFTs is in The Upcoming Update
Strings related to converting gifts to NFTs have been found in the Telegram source code for Android. Users will be able to convert gifts into unique collectibles. They will probably have to pay for this operation with stars.
Collectibles can be:
β’ Sent to other users within Telegram.
β’ Sold for stars within Telegram.
β’ Sent to external blockchain addresses for sale on third-party NFT platforms (after the βunlockβ period).
Collectibles will have attributes typical of NFTs:
β’ Unique number.
β’ Model.
β’ Background.
β’ Symbol.
β’ Information about origin (who gave it and when).
It is important to note that all information is based on lines of code from the application, so these features may undergo significant changes before release.
We continue to monitor the development of this feature and will report any new details as soon as they become known. Read more about Telegram Beta versions on our second channel - @betainfo.

There are currently 72 gifts available in Telegram. Of these, 61 gifts are limited. Of the limited gifts, 21 can now be upgraded to collectibles.
According to Pavel Durov, the list of gifts available to upgrade will be supplemented by at least 25 more limited-edition gifts.

Telegram Retroactively Shortened Gift-to-Stars Exchange Period to 7 Days

Telegram did not inform users about this change in advance. Previously, it was possible to exchange a gift to stars for up to 90 days after receiving it.
Telegram may continue to make similar changes without warning in the future. @tginfo editors advise users not to postpone exchanging their gifts for stars.

Telegram Begins Revocation of Fraudulently Obtained Stars, Gifts, and Premium Subscriptions
Some Telegram users have received notifications from the official Telegram account stating that their Stars, gifts, and Premium subscriptions have been revoked.
This action occurs when senders gift items to other users and later initiate chargebacks β likely through their bank. As a result, the funds are returned to the sender, and the gifted items or subscriptions are revoked from the recipient.
The @tginfo editorial team has no information on what happens if recipients have already spent the Stars by the time the revocation occurs.
Updated at 07:30 UTC
1. Users probably could request refunds not only from banks, but also from app stores.
2. If users paid for a purchase from a bot with stars, and then request a refund of the funds paid for these stars, and the bank returns the funds, then the corresponding stars are revoked from the bot balance.
3. After the stars are revoked, the balance can be less than zero.

Scammers Steal NFT Gifts Using Business Chatbots
A scam is spreading on Telegram involving the theft of NFT gifts by connecting a business chatbot to the victim's account.
How the scheme works:
β’ Scammers deceive the victim into connecting the chatbot and granting it a set of permissions, including the ability to manage gifts. For example, they may ask the victim to test the bot in exchange for a reward.
β’ Once access is given, the bot automatically transfers all NFT gifts from the victim's profile to the scammers.
Important security tip:
β’ Access to your account should only be given to trusted bots from reliable services.
How to protect yourself:
β’ Never give unknown bots permission to manage accounts.
β’ Always check what specific permissions the bot is requesting before adding it.
β’ Do not believe promises of easy money for βsimple actions.β

Errors When Buying Gifts
In recent days, users have been encountering issues when trying to purchase gifts on the Telegram marketplace. The two most common situations are:
1. Nothing happens when the purchase button is clicked.
2. The app displays an error message with the code
The cause of these errors lies in the fact that the marketplace may display gifts that are not actually available for purchase.
This is because, as of May 13, Telegram introduced a rule stating that a gift cannot be listed for resale until 21 days have passed since it was received or upgraded by its current owner. However, gifts that were listed for resale before this rule came into effect still appear in the resale list, but they cannot be purchased.
