Telegram Stars is an internal virtual currency designed for various transactions within the messenger. Users can purchase services, goods, and content directly within the app without needing to leave and pay on external websites. 

This system is convenient and fast, and it does not require the installation of additional mini-applications. Sounds cool, right?

There are several convenient ways to purchase Stars, let’s explore them together!

Buy Telegram Stars with Card/Apple Pay/Google Pay

This method is suitable for most users, especially those unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies. However, it’s not the cheapest, as the App Store/Google Pay will charge additional fees.

Purchasing the internal currency is quite simple. For an initial purchase, open any messenger version and find the test bot @DurgerKingBot. You can "order virtual food" through this bot and access the Stars purchase screen:

1. Enter the command /start.

2. Choose Cake.

3.Click the button Confirm and Pay 1 Stars.

After this, users with a 0 balance will be prompted to top up their Stars. Telegram offers several options:

In the confirmation window, proceed to the payment section where you can enter your bank card details if you are using the desktop version, or use Apple Pay or Google Pay for mobile payments. You might need to enter a code from an SMS.

After completing the payment, you will be redirected to the Premium Bot, which will show that you have successfully purchased Stars. @DurgerKingBot will not deduct the 1 Star after the top-up. The bot will confirm that the order is returned in the chat.

Now go to Settings and you will see the Your Stars section with your balance on the right. You can click on it to see your balance and the option to top up with more Stars.

Buy Telegram Stars via TON Wallet with a 40% Discount!

You can also top up your Telegram Stars balance using a TON wallet through Fragment, which is the most cost-effective way to save up to 40% of your money. The reason for such a discount is that you’re dealing with cryptocurrencies and they have almost 0 fees.

Here’s how to buy Stars through the decentralized Fragment site with TON:

1. You will need the Tonkeeper wallet and an address with TON on the account.

2. Go to the browser tab at the bottom.

3. Scroll down to the NFT section and open Fragment.

4. Navigate to the Stars section at the top.

5. Click Connect TON and connect your wallet.

6. Enter the @Username of the recipient.

7. Enter the required amount of Stars or choose an amount from the options below.

8. Click Buy Telegram Stars.

9. Confirm the transaction and receive the Stars in your account!

If you prefer a desktop experience, the guide will be quite the same but you need to start on the Fragment website instead.

How to use Telegram Stars afterward is up to you.

We are not pressuring you, but Mr. Soon thinks that the best option would be TON Station!
