What are NFT gifts in Telegram?
In 2024, Telegram launched the NFT gifts function (Gift NFTs) — digital assets that users can give to each other, receive for activity in chats or buy on marketplaces.
How does it work?
Gift issue — Channels and bots can create NFT gifts with a unique signature and distribute them as Promo materials
— Each gift has a rarity percentage (similar to the classic NFT Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary).
Distribution — Admins distribute them for subscriptions, reposts or activity.
— Users can resell gifts on marketplaces (for example, Fragment or Getgems).
— NFT gift giveaways in Telegram channels
Collecting and selling — Some NFTs can become cult.
— The price of rare items reaches tens of thousands of euros.
Why are some NFT gifts so expensive?
Like traditional collecting, the price depends on rarity, demand, and utility.
Value factors:
🔹 Limited edition - the fewer copies, the higher the price. 🔹 Exclusivity - gifts from well-known channels (like the TON Foundation) are valued higher. 🔹 Utility - some NFTs will provide access to private chats, bonuses, or airdrops. 🔹 Hype - like Rare Pepes or CryptoPunks, memes and trends affect the price.
Examples of expensive old NFT gifts:
🎁 "Legendary TON Diamond" — sold for €45,000 (includes access to exclusive TON events). 🎁 "Epic Telegram Star" — limited edition of 100 pieces, average price €8,000-12,000. 🎁 Early gifts from Pavel Durov — the first NFT gifts from the creator of Telegram became digital rarities.
NFT gifts as investment vouchers: is a repeat of the scenario possible?
In the 1990s, investment vouchers in Russia became a tool for speculation and redistribution of property. Could something similar happen with NFT gifts?
Similarities with vouchers:
✔ Mass issue – Telegram distributes NFTs to millions of users. ✔ Variable value – like vouchers, some gifts are worth pennies, while others are worth a fortune. ✔ Speculative market – there have already been cases of price gouging on marketplaces.
Differences:
✔ Transparency – blockchain eliminates counterfeiting. ✔ Utility – NFTs provide real privileges (not abstract shares in companies). ✔ Global market – traded not only within one country.
Risks:
⚠ Bubble – if the hype subsides, prices may collapse. ⚠ Fraud — fake NFTs and scam giveaways. ⚠ Regulation — authorities may limit the circulation of digital assets.
Prospects for the NFT gift market
- Content monetization — Channel authors will be able to sell exclusive NFTs instead of donations.
- Audience loyalty — NFTs can be used as bonuses for subscriptions or activity.
- New asset class — Crypto investors will start buying up rare gifts, like Bitcoin once did.
- Integration with DeFi and GameFi — In the future, NFT gifts may provide access to staking or games.
Conclusion: Is it worth investing in NFT gifts?
✅ Yes, if: — You are a collector and believe in the growth of the value of rare items. — You receive gifts with real utility (access to events, airdrops). — You are ready to follow trends and sell on time.
❌ No, if: — You expect quick profits (the market is volatile). — You do not understand NFT and blockchain (high risk of scam).
Telegram NFT gifts are not just digital souvenirs, but a potential new asset class. If the market develops, in 5-10 years early items may cost as much as the first Bitcoin or rare cryptopunks. The main thing is not to succumb to FOMO and choose truly valuable lots.
🚀 Follow the trends, collect rare NFTs and maybe your gift will one day become a digital antique!
