Users of Ton Space can now pay gas costs with telegram stars, so that the integration between the popular messages app and the open network (TON) is further deepened.
It marks an important step in making blockchain interactions that become more accessible within the telegram ecosystem.
Use of telegram star for Ton Blockchain Gas costs
The Open Platform (TOP), a Venture Builder and VC for projects at an early stage on the Ton Blockchain, unveiled the update for Beincrypto. In the exclusive report, the company quoted the transition from users who had to keep Ton -Tokens to cover transaction costs. Instead, they can use their telegram stars for transaction costs.
Ton Space is a self -coastal wallet embedded in the portfolio of Telegram. This allows users to store, send and manage digital assets on the Ton Blockchain. In contrast to traditional custodial portfolios that depend on third parties, Ton Space grants users full control over their funds.
With the introduction of telegram star for gas costs in ton space, the blockchain experience is becoming seamless and more user-friendly for the enormous worldwide audience of Telegram. The update removes one of the biggest friction points for new users – the acquisition and management of blockchain -tokens to cover transaction costs.
“You can use stars to pay blockchain costs for sending or changing tokens. On the recording and swap pages you have the option to pay for the blockchain fee with stars. If you don’t have enough stars in your Ton space balance, you can buy them from your non-displayed wallet,” read the description of the new functions.
The costs in stars depend on the current exchange rate in Toncoin (Ton). Since Toncoin is a volatile active, this can influence the network costs that you pay with stars.

Given the influence of telegram and the rapid adoption of Ton, this shift could pave the way for wider blockchain use within regular social applications. Telegram in particular has more than 950 million users.
In the meantime, more than 100 million tonnes of space shortages have been made since leaving the beta in December 2024. The change is expected to lower the entry thresholds for millions who wanted to come into contact with Blockchain technology, the adoption can increase exponentially.
“Ton has already become an integral part of the telegram eco -system. By locking in telegram stars to pay for blockchain transactions in Ton space, we bring crypto even closer to the community of the messenger. Since Stars is native to Telegram, it is used to pay for Blockchain -reimbursements.
A similar feature has already been implemented in Tonkeeper, a different self -wide wallet for Ton. The Tonkeeper app introduced the “Battery” function, with which users can pay transaction costs in advance.
Ton Ecosystem Expansion: Trading, Gaming and Adoption Growth Growth
In the meantime, the last announcement is surrounded by rapid developments in the TON -Ecosystem. Telegram-based crypto-trade platform TonTrader recently reported that 100,000 transactions were opened by users. This emphasizes the growing interest in trade on chains within the Telegram ecosystem.
Recent events, including French authorities that release the founder of Telegram Pavel Durov, can further stimulate Ton’s growth. This unexpected event injected a new momentum into Ton, as a result of which the restorative TVL was placed possible (total value locked).

The expansion of Ton’s gaming eco system is another remarkable trend, in which Hamster Kombat launches a gaming-oriented layer-2 blockchain on Ton. This movement means a push to greater scalability and increased gaming acceptance on the network.
Ton position these developments as an important player in blockchain -gaming. By integrating these innovations within Telegram, Ton positions himself as a leader in bringing decentralized applications (DAPPs) to a mainstream audience.
