**Question:** How much are Telegram gift NFTs selling for on-chain, and which collections lead?

- Kind: Dashboard in Voltfin Vantage
- Topic: [NFTs and gaming](https://voltfincrypto.com/topics/nft-gaming)
- Chains: TON
- Status: Planned. The data is not published yet, so this page states no figure; each figure will open its receipt when it is.

Telegram gifts can be upgraded into collectibles with unique attributes and moved onto TON as NFTs, where they trade like any other collection. This dashboard counts the gift sales that settle on TON: value, sales, buyers and prices per collection and marketplace, read from the sale transactions and the ownership changes they cause.

Part of the gift market never touches the chain. Gifts that stay on Telegram's servers trade inside the app or through mini-app marketplaces that keep their own balances, and those trades are not visible on TON. The dashboard counts only what settles on-chain and labels the rest as not covered, so its totals are a floor for the market, not the whole of it.

## Blueprint

### Market

On-chain gift sales, buyers and prices in the selected period.

- **On-chain sales value** (TON): Value of gift NFT sales settled on TON in the selected period.
- **On-chain sales** (count): Gift NFT sales settled on TON in the selected period.
- **Buyers** (count): Distinct TON addresses that bought a gift NFT in the selected period.
- **Median sale price** (TON): The median price of gift NFT sales settled on TON in the selected period.
- **Sales by day and marketplace** (TON): Daily value of gift NFT sales settled on TON, split by marketplace.

### Collections

Gift collections ranked by on-chain sales and prices.

- **Collections traded** (count): Gift collections with at least one on-chain sale in the selected period.
- **Gifts moved on-chain** (count): Gifts minted onto TON as NFTs in the selected period, from the collections' mint messages.
- **Sales value by collection** (TON): On-chain sales value per gift collection in the selected period.
- **Gift collections**: Each collection with on-chain sales, buyers, median and top sale price and the number of its gifts on TON.

Filters: Period (Last 7 days, 30 days or since gifts first moved on-chain); Collection (Every Telegram gift collection on TON).

## How it will be measured

- Gift collections are identified by their collection contract addresses on TON, created when gifts are moved on-chain through Telegram and Fragment.
- A sale is a marketplace sale contract paying the seller in TON or a jetton within the same message trace that transfers the NFT to the buyer under the TEP-62 standard.
- Sale values are in TON, and in USD at TON-to-USDT pool prices on TON DEXs at the time of each sale.
- Trades inside Telegram, paid in Stars or in balances held by mini-app marketplaces, are not on-chain and are shown as not covered rather than estimated.

## Questions

### What are Telegram gift NFTs?

Telegram gifts are digital items users send each other in the app. An upgraded gift gets a unique model, backdrop and symbol, and can be moved to the TON blockchain as an NFT, after which it can be held in a TON wallet and traded on TON NFT marketplaces.

### Where are Telegram gifts traded?

Upgraded gifts trade inside Telegram, on mini-app marketplaces that run within Telegram and, once moved on-chain, as NFTs on TON marketplaces such as Getgems and Fragment. Only the sales that settle on TON are counted here.

### Why are some Telegram gift sales not on-chain?

A gift that has not been moved to TON stays on Telegram's servers, so trading it changes only Telegram's records. Mini-app marketplaces can also settle trades in balances they hold for users. Neither leaves a sale on TON, so this dashboard cannot count them.

### What makes some Telegram gifts sell for more?

Each upgraded gift has a model, a backdrop and a symbol, and some combinations are rarer than others. The collections page shows sale prices per collection and per attribute, so a reader can see how rarity relates to what buyers paid.

### What is Plush Pepe?

Plush Pepe is one of the Telegram gift collections. Like the others, its upgraded gifts can be moved onto TON as NFTs, and its sales appear in the collections table whenever they settle on-chain.

## Glossary

- **Upgraded gift**: A Telegram gift converted into a unique collectible with its own model, backdrop and symbol, which can be moved to TON as an NFT.
- **TEP-62**: TON's NFT standard, which defines collection and item contracts and the transfer messages that change an item's owner.
- **Jetton**: A fungible token on TON, such as USDT on TON, which some marketplaces accept as payment.
- **Stars**: Telegram's in-app currency for purchases inside Telegram; trades paid in Stars do not settle on TON.
