Telegram Introduces Stars As In-App Currency for Telegram Apps

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has announced the launch of a new in-app currency called Stars, which can be used to purchase digital goods and services within Telegram mini apps. The currency can be purchased with fiat currency through in-app purchases or within Telegram itself. Developers will soon be able to withdraw their Stars in Toncoin, Telegram’s favored cryptocurrency, and exchange it for other cryptocurrencies.
