Years ago, we built TON – a scalable and fast blockchain technology. TON was designed to serve hundreds of millions of social media users. Since 2020, the TON technology has been maintained and improved by the open source community.
Last year, we enabled our users to buy and sell Telegram usernames and IDs on Fragment – a TON-based auction platform. It was a phenomenal success. Telegram sold $120M worth of digital assets in auctions, while early buyers of some Telegram-related digital assets – such as Telegram anonymous numbers – have seen a 27x (!) increase in value after only 9 months.
This success showed the potential of Web 3.0 on Telegram. For the first time in history, users were allowed to own their social media identities directly. Now we want to integrate blockchain technologies deeper into Telegram. To do that, we worked with the folks from the TON community to add their TON Wallet to Telegram as a mini-app.
Starting this November, TON Wallet will be included in the settings and attachment menus for all our users outside the US and some other countries (if you added @wallet and have the latest version of Telegram, you can already see the wallet option in the menus). This step will allow developers to enable hundreds of new valuable features – similar to those pioneered on Fragment. TON Wallet, a third-party mini-app inside Telegram, will introduce a whole new dimension of Web 3.0 to hundreds of millions of Telegram users.

Previously, public channels with more subscribers would appear higher in the search results. That system worked fine for a while, but was increasingly getting abused by spammers. That's why we now only count genuine subscribers of channels for ranking.
For example, channels with more Premium subscribers will generally rank higher. However, if a specific Premium subscriber joins too many channels, they won't give those channels as big of a search ranking boost. Of course, the new search also prioritizes results from your country.
The feedback on this change is overwhelmingly positive. Channels with an inflated subscribers count have become less visible, while useful groups and mini-apps are now attracting more users.

How the boost system works in Telegram channels
The @tginfo editors have studied new images and lines on the Telegram translation platform and assume that the boost system on channels will work as follows:
• Only subscribers with Telegram Premium will be able to boost Telegram channels.
• If a Premium user received a paid subscription as a gift, he will not be able to support his favorite channels with a boost.
• Users with Premium will be able to choose which of the channels they subscribe to to give their boost. This channel can be changed no more than once a day.
• Judging by the screenshots, the boost has an expiration date, but it is not yet known how it will be determined (we assume that the boost expires along with the Premium subscription or it will have more complex logic).
• It is likely that information about users and the expiration date of their boost will be displayed in a special tab inside the channel statistics section.
• There, administrators will be able to view how many users with registered Telegram Premium are subscribed to the channel and what their share is of the number of all subscribers.
• It will be possible to share a special link in the format
• Judging by the available screenshots, to publish stories on behalf of the channel, you need to reach level 1 - for this he needs to receive at least 5 boosts from his readers (the value may change by the release).
• Information about the number of active channel boosts can be available to all users.
• Whether other levels with their own advantages will be introduced, or whether Telegram at an early stage will limit itself to only the first, is still unknown.

Add background audio to stories, post as channel interface, and interactive widget for quick reactions
On the Telegram translation platform , the @tginfo editors discovered screenshots of the updated story editor interface.
The screenshots show a dialog box in which you can choose on behalf of whom to publish the story: either as an individual user or on behalf of a channel.
Of the new elements, the “Audio” widget is noteworthy, thanks to which, presumably, it will be possible to select a sound file that will be played in the background of the story.
In addition, the editors drew attention to a new widget with an emoji in the form of a heart in a “cloud”. Its design is strongly reminiscent of the interactive widget from Instagram. On Instagram, the tool allows the story creator to choose an emoji to express a reaction, and viewers to quickly leave that reaction by simply tapping the widget. Probably, in Telegram the mechanism of operation of this widget will be similar.
