Telegram launches creator-in-competition mechanism: Use its own virtual currency Stars to support your favorite creators
In June this year, Telegram launched “Telegram Stars”, a payment function that enables virtual goods and services throughout the Telegram ecosystem. Users can purchase Stars in the APP store and Google play store. Stars can be used to purchase e-books, online courses and items in Telegram games provided by Telegram robots. These Stars can also be withdrawn in the cryptocurrency Toncoin.
When Telegram Stars was launched in June, Telegram stated that it would bring additional features to Stars in the future. On August 15, Taiwan time, Telegram announced that Telegram Stars can now be used for creators!
Telegram said it would add new ways for creators to make money and launch a monthly paid subscription service. Users can use Telegram’s virtual currency Stars to purchase additional content from creators. The idea behind Telegram is to allow creators to charge for additional content in a Patreon-like manner. Creators can choose whether to withdraw the earned Stars in the cryptocurrency Toncoin or use them to subsidize advertising.
In addition to Stars, which can be used to purchase additional content from creators, Telegram has also launched Star Reactions, a feature similar to YouTube’s Super Thank You and X’s Tips. Users can directly support their favorite Telegram content creators, and creators can earn 100% of Stars through Star Reactions.
