JAKARTA - Recently, a major step has been taken by Telegram, a global communication platform that has become part of millions of people's daily lives. Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, announced the launch of a digital mini-app payment system called Telegram Stars. This initiative not only marks a new chapter in the evolution of digital services, but also shows great potential in changing the app economy.

On Thursday 6 June, Durov shared this good news with the world. The Stars Telegram is designed to make it easier for users to buy and use digital services directly from their apps on iOS and Android devices. This system allows developers to turn the stars' they get into TONS, crypto assets from The Open Network, through the Fragment exchange platform. The uniqueness of the Telegram Stars lies in its compliance with Apple and Google digital product sales policies, which are often stumbling blocks for developers due to high price cuts.

Quoted from TheBlock, Durov explained, When users buy Stars, Apple and Google will take a cut of 30%, but Telegram is committed to subsidizing the ads purchased using Telegram Stars. This means that if developers decide to re-invest Stars for their app promotions, the commission costs they bear can be very low, even close to zero percent. This approach paved the way for developers to launch their apps on Telegram at a more cost-efficient and economical cost compared to traditional mobile apps.

Telegram Stars is expected to provide significant benefits for app developers. At lower costs and greater promotional potentials, the system offers developers economical solutions to monetize their applications and expand market reach. Telegram, which has been known for its commitment to privacy and innovation, continues to innovate by providing tools and features that support a dynamic digital ecosystem.
