Trading NFT Gifts on Fragment

The Gifts section has been added to Fragment.com, allowing users to buy and auction NFT gifts from Telegram.

The platform offers convenient filters to help users find gifts with specific models, patterns, and backgrounds. Each gift also includes detailed information, such as the sender, recipient, attached comment, and the date it was given.

To convert a gift into an NFT and trade it, users must complete Verification (KYC) and meet additional requirements.

The minimum price for listing a gift is 1 TON, and the platform does not charge any fees.

Shortened address format in Gifts

Now, if a gift is converted into an NFT and stored in a wallet with a linked domain, the “Owner” field will display the .ton or .t.me domain.

Previously, this field showed the wallet address in Non-bounceable format, for example: UQ…tESt.

Changes in $SWITCH Emission

PocketFi has announced the burning of $SWITCH. Out of 6.5 billion tokens, only 1,119,161,920 $SWITCH will enter the market.

To prevent your $SWITCH tokens from being burned, you must complete verification. The cost ranges from 0.5 TON to 2 TON, depending on user activity, but the developers have not disclosed how the algorithms work. Users who complete verification will receive a +5% bonus to their tokens.

You should verify as soon as possible. If you don’t, your tokens will be permanently burned.

To complete verification, go to PocketFi, click on “Unverified Account,” and follow the instructions: pay with TON or Stars.

What’s new in TON Wallet 2.0:
• A revamped web app interface, similar to MyTonWallet;
• Support for tokens, including Mintless for bulk transfers;

$SWITCH Tokens may be Burned for Unverified Users

PocketFi has announced that $SWITCH mining has officially ended. Additionally, the staking mechanism has been improved—rewards now go directly to the mining balance.

For users who have not yet completed Verification, the Verification section displays the number of tokens that will be burned if they fail to verify. They have until April 12 to complete the process, after which the tokens may be permanently burned. However, according to PocketFi, verification is not mandatory.

The final total supply of $SWITCH that will enter the market will be announced by PocketFi on April 14.

TON Payment Network

TON Core has introduced TON Payment Network (Beta), a new system for accepting payments via payment channels.

How it works:

• Creates payment channels between two parties to process multiple transactions off-chain
• Records the final result on-chain only when the channel is closed
• Ensures security through smart contracts, eliminating the need to wait for block confirmations
• Enables a network of channels to route payments through intermediaries (A → B → C → D), even without a direct connection between sender and receiver

Benefits:

• More secure interactions with services
• Services don’t have full control over user funds — all operations require user approval
• Transactions occur off-chain and are confirmed in seconds, without waiting for blocks

Note: This method may conflict with Telegram’s policy on virtual goods, which requires using Telegram Stars.

Currently, most services rely on centralized balance processing with deposits in TON, USDT, and other tokens. For TON Payment Network to gain wide adoption, user-friendly solutions must be built around it.

Libre tokenizes Telegram bonds worth $500 million on the TON blockchain

The company Libre is launching a tokenized Telegram Bond Fund (TBF) on the TON blockchain.

What's happening:
• Libre will create a fixed income fund that will purchase $500 million in Telegram bonds and tokenize them on the TON blockchain.
• Accredited investors will gain access to a portion of Telegram's debt obligations, totaling approximately $2.35 billion.
• The obtained tokens can be used as collateral for borrowing and product development within the TON network.

• Specializes in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
• Collaborates with leading financial institutions: Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, Nomura (Laser Digital), and BlackRock.
• Has already tokenized over $200 million in assets.

The real value of tokenizing traditional financial instruments lies in unlocking the utility of these assets — said Avatar Sehra, CEO of Libre.


This project is part of TON's strategy to attract a significant portion of Telegram’s 950+ million users to the blockchain ecosystem, marking an important step in bridging traditional finance with cryptocurrencies and DeFi.

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.

MyTonWallet updated to v3.8: NFT attributes, improved transaction feed, base currency display

New NFT screen
If your wallet contains NFTs with attributes (as Telegram gifts), MyTonWallet now displays detailed information about those properties - including rarity percentages and other metadata in future updates.

Improved transaction feed design
All transactions are now displayed more clearly and intuitively. Tokens are shown with both names and icons. Brief labels such as “Purchase” or “Sale” will be used for NFT operations.

Display of amounts in base currency
When sending or viewing transactions, you’ll now see the amount not only in the transaction’s currency but also in your selected base currency: USD, EUR, RUB, CNY, BTC, or TON. For example, if you send USDT and your base currency is TON, both values will be shown.

Quick interface switching
In the desktop and web versions of MyTonWallet, you can now instantly switch between portrait and landscape modes with a single click.

TON is now 10x faster: Transactions in Just 3-5 seconds

The TON Core team has completed a major series of core optimizations for TON, planned for the first half of 2025. As a result, transaction finality under low to moderate network load has improved nearly tenfold - most operations now complete in just 35 seconds, compared to the previous 30-50 seconds.

Over this period, five updates were released, improving all key components of the network:
• Block validation;
• Cryptographic operations;
• Networking;
• Database performance;
• State serialization and deserialization.

Thanks to these changes, a single shardchain can now handle the current load of the mainnet - previously, up to four shards were needed. This means most operations - like token transfers or DEX swaps - are now processed within a single block, without cross-shard interaction.

Under high load, the blockchain will still scale via sharding, also implemented significant stability improvements for peak periods.

Send Transfers On-Chain via @push

MyTonWallet has launched the @push bot to send TON, USD₮, and MY directly in Telegram- straight to any TON wallet.

The bot operates on full decentralization principles and is simple to use. To send funds, just write a message in any chat, group, or channel using the format:
@push 10 TON @username Comment

You can also enter the transfer amount in fiat - the bot will automatically convert it to cryptocurrency. Plus, you can use math expressions directly in inline mode to conveniently calculate the transfer amount:
@push 50/2*4 euro @username

How is @push different from Wallet, Crypto Bot, or xRocket?
These services are custodial — your funds are tied to your Telegram account, seed phrases are not available, and transfers happen off-chain.
@push, on the other hand, is fully on-chain - all transactions happen on the blockchain and the bot is compatible with any TON wallet.

How to send funds via @push?
Type a message in any chat or channel starting with @push, specify the amount, optionally the recipient’s @username, and a comment. You’ll then be prompted to confirm the transaction via a non-custodial wallet.

How does the recipient receive the transfer?
They need to press the “Receiving” button, then connect their TON wallet using TON Connect or manually enter their address (or domain).

Due to Telegram limitations, sending transfers from anonymous admins in chats and channels may not work.
If you’re a channel admin, enable Message signing and Show author profiles. For group chats, disable anonymous admin mode.
