As stated on the official Sticker Pack page on X, among the first integrated collections are Pudgy Penguins, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, Doodles, Sappy Seals, and Chimpers.
NFT stickers operate on the TON blockchain. Owners can store them, send them to other users, or trade them both inside Telegram and through the Getgems marketplace. After purchase, the stickers synchronize with the app and become instantly available for use.
The organizers note that collections will be connected step by step. If a particular series is not yet available, users are encouraged to follow the updates.
The idea of converting stickers into NFT format was voiced by Pavel Durov at the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai in April 2024. Before this, Telegram users were only allowed to own elements such as usernames, anonymous numbers, and gifts.
The appearance of NFT stickers logically continues this policy, giving users a tool to express their identity and community connection while granting real ownership rights to the digital symbols they use daily.
According to the team’s vision, this is the first step toward the full integration of digital collectibles into Telegram, with TON becoming the main infrastructure for new forms of content and interaction.
The launch of NFT stickers looks like a continuation of the trend toward new applications of the technology. In June, the trading volume of Telegram Gifts NFT exceeded $100 млн, and stickers may well repeat that success, sparking a new wave of interest.
The overall backdrop for the launch is favorable: according to CryptoSlam, over the past 24 hours, NFT trading volume increased by 18,09%, the number of buyers grew by 12,55%, sellers by 18,24%, and the number of transactions by 16,52%.
