Telegram collectible gifts — also called unique gifts or gift NFTs — are more than a decoration on your profile. They have real market value, driven by rarity, demand, and total supply. Some collectibles trade for hundreds of dollars. Most people don't know they can liquidate them in seconds.

Star Ledger's gift system is entirely automated. You never talk to a human. There is no negotiation. The floor price is fetched from the live marketplace at the moment you paste your link. You see the exact offer. If you accept, you send the gift to our escrow account and the TON lands in your Star Ledger balance on its own.

What counts as a sellable gift?

Telegram has two types of gifts: regular gifts and collectible gifts. Only collectibles (also called unique gifts or gift NFTs) can be sold. Here is how to tell them apart:

  • Regular gifts — sent in a chat, displayed on your profile, but not transferable or tradeable. These cannot be sold.
  • Collectible gifts — unique digital items minted on the TON blockchain. They have a serial number, rarity tier, and a live floor price on the secondary market. These are what you can sell.

If your gift has a serial number and appears in Telegram's gift marketplace, it qualifies. If you're not sure, paste the gift link into the bot — it will fetch the price or tell you the gift is not sellable.

What you need

  • A Telegram account with at least one collectible gift
  • A TON wallet or exchange deposit address to withdraw your TON — or you can leave the balance in Star Ledger and withdraw later
  • About 60 seconds
No wallet yet?

You can sell your gift and hold the TON balance inside Star Ledger. Withdraw to a wallet whenever you're ready. See our wallet setup guide if you need one.

How the automation works

Most gift-selling services involve a human appraiser or a manual review step. Star Ledger doesn't. Here is exactly what happens under the hood when you sell a gift:

01
You paste the gift link in the bot
Star Ledger calls the marketplace API and retrieves the current floor price for your specific gift type in real time.
02
You see the exact TON offer
The bot shows you the floor price and your payout (85% of floor). Nothing is deducted from that figure. You decide whether to proceed.
03
You send the gift to our escrow account
The bot gives you the escrow username (@Quibill). You send the gift directly through Telegram's gift interface. No external app or website is involved.
04
Star Ledger detects the transfer instantly
Our monitoring system watches the escrow account in real time. The moment your gift arrives, the system confirms the match and triggers the payout.
No human review
05
TON credited to your balance
Your Star Ledger balance updates immediately. Withdraw to your TON wallet or exchange account anytime — no minimum, no waiting period.
Instant
See what your gift is worth right now.

Check gift price

Step by step

1. Open @StarLedgerBot in Telegram

Tap the "Open Star Ledger" button anywhere on this page, or search for @StarLedgerBot directly in Telegram. The entire flow runs inside Telegram — no browser, no app install, no account creation.

2. Tap "Sell Gift NFT"

On the main screen you will see two cards: Sell Stars and Sell Gift NFT. Tap the Gift NFT card to begin. The bot will prompt you to paste a gift link.

3. Paste your gift link

Go to your gift in Telegram, tap the share option, and copy the link. Paste it into the bot. Within seconds, Star Ledger returns the floor price and your exact payout amount.

4. Review the offer and confirm

You see the full breakdown before doing anything:

Example payout breakdown
Gift typeCollectible
Current floor price14.50 TON
Buyback rate85%
Your payout12.32 TON
FeesNone

If you accept, the bot gives you the escrow account username to send the gift to. If you decline, nothing happens — the gift stays in your account.

5. Send the gift to escrow

Open the gift in Telegram, tap the transfer button, and search for the escrow account the bot gave you. Confirm the transfer inside Telegram's own interface. The gift leaves your account and arrives at escrow.

6. Your balance updates automatically

Within seconds of the gift arriving, Star Ledger credits your TON balance. The bot sends you a confirmation message with the amount. You can withdraw immediately or let it accumulate across multiple gifts.

What affects your payout?

Three factors determine how much TON you receive:

  • Floor price at detection time. Star Ledger prices your gift the moment it arrives, not at the moment you checked. In most cases the price is stable, but rare gifts in high demand can shift quickly.
  • Buyback rate. Currently 85% of floor. This is how Star Ledger covers its costs — we acquire the gift below market and resell it. Your 85% is locked in when you confirm the offer, not when the gift is detected.
  • Nothing else. No withdrawal fee, no gas charge, no processing cut.

Common questions

Can I cancel after sending the gift?

No. Once you transfer a gift through Telegram, the transfer is final. Star Ledger's system detects it and credits your balance automatically. There is no reversal mechanism in Telegram's gift infrastructure.

How quickly does my balance update?

In most cases, within a few seconds of the gift arriving at escrow. The monitoring system runs continuously and triggers the credit immediately upon detection. You will receive a bot notification the moment it happens.

What if the floor price changes between my offer and transfer?

Your payout is based on the price shown at the time you confirmed the offer. The credit is calculated from that locked-in number, not re-fetched at transfer time. This protects you from price drops during the brief window between confirmation and sending.

What if I send the wrong gift?

The system matches incoming gifts to pending orders by gift type. If you send a gift that doesn't match an active offer, the monitoring system will flag it and a member of the team will review it manually within a few hours. Contact support immediately if this happens.

Can I sell multiple gifts at once?

Yes. Each sale is an independent order. You can have several pending at the same time. Each one is matched and credited as it arrives at escrow.

Do I need a TON wallet to sell?

No. Your payout goes to your Star Ledger balance. You can withdraw to a personal wallet or an exchange deposit address whenever you like. If you don't have a wallet yet, see our TON wallets guide.
