Who this is for, and what you get
You have Telegram Stars and you want real money for them. Maybe they arrived as gifts, maybe they came with a Premium bundle, maybe you earned them in a bot or bought more than you needed. Whatever the source, Stars do not pay your bills while they sit in your account.
Star Ledger turns them into TON cryptocurrency. You open @StarLedgerBot, enter an amount from 10 to 100,000 Stars, pay the Stars invoice inside Telegram, and your balance is credited instantly. From there you withdraw to any TON wallet address, and the payout usually lands in under 2 minutes. There is no account to create and no documents to upload. Your Telegram identity is the entire login.
This page covers the exact rates, the four steps of a sale, and honest answers to the questions people actually ask. If you want a slower, screenshot-level walkthrough instead, read the complete guide to selling Telegram Stars.
The rate, and what your Stars are worth
Star Ledger pays a flat $0.008 per Star, converted to TON at the live TON/USD rate at the moment you sell. Volume bonuses may apply on larger sales. There is no spread hidden in the withdrawal and no fee subtracted afterwards: the TON amount quoted on the confirmation screen is the amount that arrives.
| Stars | Approx. payout |
|---|---|
| 100 | $0.80 |
| 500 | $4.00 |
| 1,000 | $8.00 |
| 5,000 | $40.00 |
| 10,000 | $80.00 |
| 50,000 | $400.00 |
| 100,000 | $800.00 |
Paid in TON at the live rate. The exact TON amount is shown before you confirm.
Because the payout is in TON, the number of coins you receive moves with the market even though the dollar value is fixed at sale time. If you are curious how that dollar figure compares with what Stars cost to buy, see how much Telegram Stars are actually worth. And if your end goal is a stablecoin rather than TON, the Stars to USDT guide shows the cheapest route after payout.
How it works, in 4 steps
- Open Star Ledger. Launch @StarLedgerBot or the Mini App inside Telegram. It works on iOS, Android, Telegram Desktop and Web, and there is nothing to install or register.
- Enter how many Stars to sell. Anything from 10 to 100,000 Stars per transaction. The app shows the exact TON you will receive before you commit to anything.
- Pay the Stars invoice. Telegram itself issues the invoice, you approve it with one tap, and your Star Ledger balance is credited instantly. No waiting period, no manual review.
- Withdraw to your TON wallet. Paste any TON address starting with UQ or EQ. The minimum withdrawal is just $0.10, there are zero fees on the payout, and the TON usually arrives in under 2 minutes.
Every payout is documented publicly. Before your first sale, browse the payment proofs channel at t.me/StarLedgerProof to see real, recent transactions from other users.
Why sell through Star Ledger
There are two honest ways to turn Stars into crypto: Fragment, the official platform from the Telegram team, and an instant buyer like Star Ledger. Fragment pays a somewhat higher rate, but only creators with at least 1,000 earned Stars can withdraw there, and the TON arrives after a 21-day holding period. Stars you bought yourself or received as gifts generally cannot be cashed out on Fragment at all.
Star Ledger is built for everyone Fragment leaves out, and for anyone who values speed:
- Zero fees. Nothing is deducted from your payout, ever. The quote you approve is the amount you receive.
- 10 Star minimum. You do not need 1,000 earned Stars. Even a small leftover balance is worth converting.
- Instant, not 21 days. Balance credit is immediate and withdrawals usually clear in under 2 minutes, against a three-week wait on the official route.
- No KYC, no signup. No documents, no email, no wallet connection ritual. If you can open a Telegram chat, you can sell.
- 20% referral commission. Share your link and earn 20% of every sale your friends make, for life, paid automatically.
One more thing worth knowing: Stars are not the only asset Star Ledger buys. If you hold collectible gifts, you can sell Telegram Gift NFTs too, at 85% of the current floor price with automatic escrow detection.
Open the bot, type an amount, and the TON payout appears before you commit to anything.
