Developed by the Not & Dogs team and supported by TON and Durov himself.
What’s the use case?
In a recent Telegram update, an AI-powered search engine was added for official stickers. According to Durov, the next update will enable users to create their own stickers.

Durov sees stickers as one of Telegram’s most iconic features, and now he’s turning them into ‘NFTs.’
So, what’s the deal with the Sticker Store?
Here’s how it works: Telegram users can buy sticker packs using Telegram Stars. These stickers are then minted into NFTs.
And here’s the interesting part…

The most popular so far? Bored Apes (BAYC)—no introduction needed.
Five packs with a supply of 999 each sold out in under two hours!
Four more packs with a supply of 3333 are still available, though a large portion has already been sold.
Prices:
	•	Supply 999: ~$75
	•	Supply 3333: ~$50

The Dogs OG collection offers a range of packs priced between $1.5 and $150.
Notable packs include:
	•	Sheikh (supply: 999, price: $75) – still available.
	•	Not Cap (supply: 999, price: $150) – sold out.

Other packs, like Blum and Flappy Bird, are currently on sale, but their supply and pricing make them less appealing.
Upcoming releases include Pudgy Penguins and Not Skin.
The Pudgy Penguins series, in particular, looks promising.

With the release of Not Skin and Blum, we might see deeper integration of stickers into the Telegram platform, especially with the planned minting feature.
Future collections could include big names like Doodles, Milady, and Azuki.

So, is it worth it?
It’s still early days, and there’s limited information. However, if these sticker packs connect back to their main NFT collections, they could turn into something valuable.

In my opinion, the Sticker Store is the biggest integration of the Telegram Stars system with the TON blockchain so far.
In the future, payment systems using TON and tokens from the Token Platform will also roll out.
Now, let’s look at the most notable sticker packs released so far.
