This is a proposal to enhance the Telegram ecosystem: the introduction of NFT stickers — unique digital stickers based on blockchain technology, which can not only be used in chats but also collected, exchanged, or sold as rare digital artifacts.
The technology is already ready and tested. The Open Builders team (creators of Notcoin) has launched the @sticker_bot, which generates and sells such NFT stickers. Through similar bots, more than 450,000 NFT stickers have been released from brands like BAYC or Pudgy Penguins, leading to significant growth in engagement among active users.
Why is this beneficial for Telegram?
Monetization: Built-in sticker store with commissions (like the current Sticker Store) plus integration with TON — a new revenue stream without advertising.
Engagement: Stickers are one of Telegram's most beloved features. NFT will add gamification: users will log in more often to "earn" or exchange stickers.
Competitive Advantage: WhatsApp and Discord are experimenting with Web3, but Telegram with TON is ahead. This will strengthen its position as a leader in messengers with crypto integration.
Security and Simplicity: Everything on TON — fast transactions, low fees (less than 0.01$), and full privacy, like in Telegram.
How to implement this?
Integration with @sticker_bot: Partnership with Open Builders — they have a ready platform. Add a "Create NFT Sticker" button in the sticker editor.
Testing: Beta version for Premium users to gather feedback.
Marketing: Announcement — and explosive growth, like with Notcoin.
This feature will make Telegram even more attractive and attract a new audience — from gamers to collectors.
NFT stickers aren't just another collectible; they're a full-fledged revolution and the future of the entire NFT industry🫡

Stickers are for poor wretches who didn't manage to get into GIFTs or climb onto the FPI or Flipp of some other shit.

I really like this ecosystem and I’d love to see it grow — NFT stickers should be integrated into Telegram.

I think gift NFTs have grown and gained many fans... including myself! Now it's even better, and it's time for NFT stickers to integrate with Telegram so fans of the top NFT collections on OpenSea can join Telegram.. Paul, make it happen! 😁😁 STICKERS NFT

Pavel Durov, why don't you pay attention to the stickers? All the world's brands are already here, and you're ignoring them.

Integrate stickers will help telegram to improve their features specially with brands like penguins and azuki and more... That will bring alot of nft's owners from other chains

The dev team, instead of doing marketing and working on the project, made a fake Pavel Durov account! You raised funds without even knowing whether Pavel Durov would accept your idea, and now you're begging for him to notice you!
Don't ruin the last of your project's credibility by creating a fake Pavel Durov account.

Stickers occupy a significant niche in the Telegram ecosystem as well as in the TON blockchain and should not remain in the shadows or go unnoticed without integration into Telegram.
We hope that you will hear us; this is the opinion not of one person but of many users and sticker holders.

i think that a slow approach to this would be great, tease folks for like 6 months then on a random tuesday in april just bam stickers.

The ideas of a crazy typical dreamer, there will be even more unnecessary stickers, now there are fewer high-quality and really cool stickers than those that are sold on a conveyor, the less junk stickers, the better
not enough for some Vasya Vaskin to throw a png and create a sticker that no one needs
