Archive got about 21 terabytes of information, the main criterion of getting a repository was the presence of at least one of a commit (changes) over the last year, or the total number of "stars" (used for project evaluation and placement in bookmarks) more than 250.

Among other things, underground storage got the source code of client applications Telegram for Android, iOS, macOS, and cross-platform client Telegram Desktop for Windows, Linux and macOS.
