Take on the Grok–Telegram Partnership
The partnership is set for one year, and as we've all seen, it introduces a fantastic set of features. If implemented effectively, it could be a major enhancement to Telegram, opening up plenty of opportunities for AI integration within the platform.
That said, it’s important to acknowledge that AI needs data to improve and evolve. Fortunately, based on the information provided in the video, only publicly available data and user-prompted inputs are sent to xAI. This means Grok’s integration isn’t overly aggressive when it comes to data collection. Given Telegram’s strong stance on privacy, I believe Durov isn’t likely to sell user data easily, staying true to Telegram’s ethos.
Looking ahead, since this is a one-year partnership, I see three possible paths for Telegram once the term ends:
1. Extend the partnership with Grok (xAI)
2. Collaborate with another AI provider
3. Develop its own AI solution
In my view, the third option is the most fitting for Telegram’s long-term vision. Independence in AI development would align with its values and reduce reliance on external partners. It’s also possible that this partnership is a temporary strategic move to compete with platforms like Meta, while Telegram builds its own AI infrastructure in the background.
Additionally, this move brings natural visibility and promotion from Elon Musk and through X (formerly Twitter), which is a marketing win for Telegram.
For those wondering why Telegram partnered with #xAI instead of ChatGPT—it's simple: #ChatGPT is in a dominant position and has no real incentive to negotiate or collaborate with Telegram. They don’t need #Telegram to succeed—they’re already at the top of the game. If Telegram had integrated ChatGPT, it would have made developing an independent AI to compete with it much harder. So in many ways, this partnership with xAI is a smarter move. It gives Telegram flexibility and keeps the door open for future independence.

🏆 Telegram has successfully issued $1.7B in 5-year bonds at a 9% interest rate, maturing in June 2030. More than $950M of our previous bonds (due March 2026) were exchanged for the new issuance.🙏 The response from investors was phenomenal. We’re deeply grateful to the investment funds that have supported us over the years. Due to strong demand, we expanded the offering beyond the initial $1.5B — yet demand still far exceeded what we could allocate.🪙 With this new funding, we now have more than enough resources to repay the remaining portion of our 2026 bonds. Given Telegram’s profitability, we are in an excellent financial position going forward.😙

NFT-Gifts on the Blockchain Can Also Become Invalid
Even upgraded gifts sent to the TON blockchain as NFTs can be downgraded to regular gifts or become completely invalid in Telegram. This happens if the stars used to purchase or upgrade the gift are refunded.
How does gift status get downgraded?
For example, a user buys stars via the App Store or Google Play, then purchases and/or upgrades a gift. After 21 days, they send the gift to the TON blockchain as an NFT and later request a refund for the stars. If the refund is approved, Telegram marks the gift as invalid: it can no longer be set on the profile, used as a status, or transferred to another user. However, the NFT itself remains in the user’s wallet on the blockchain.
Sometimes, users purchase stars through unreliable services or P2P deals. In these cases, the seller may initiate a refund, which also results in the gift being burned. We’ve previously covered such cases on the @tginfo channel.
Why does this matter?
Even if the gift becomes invalid in Telegram, it still exists as an NFT and can be listed for sale on marketplaces like Fragment.com, Getgems.io, and others. However, these platforms don’t display warnings about the gift’s status in Telegram, which may mislead buyers who expect to use the gift in their profile.
We recommend checking the status of NFT gifts before purchasing. You can do this using the link format: t.me/nft/GiftName-XXX, replacing “GiftName-XXX” with the correct name (no spaces) and number. For example, Plush Pepe #1098 would be: t.me/nft/PlushPepe-1098.
The Dmitry Korobeynikov channel has already shared examples of gifts listed for sale but no longer usable in Telegram, and also reported that some of these gifts have since been fully restored and are now functional again in Telegram.

#Pavel Durov shared a link in his official channel but deleted it within seconds. The group is now in complete chaos. It’s called a "Social Experiment," and messages are flooding in despite paid messaging being enabled.
