⭐️Mini App Bar, Paid Content, Story Search, and More! In its June update, Telegram introduced a convenient way to shrink mini-apps into a compact panel, added hashtag and location search capabilities to "Stories", and a new link widget. Content creators can further monetize their channels through paid photos and videos. Starting today, mini-app developers and content creators can use earned Stars to receive rewards in Toncoin or purchase Telegram advertising at special discounts. ⭐️Mini-App Panel Every month, over 500 million Telegram users interact with mini-apps for purchasing goods, accessing services, and playing games. Now, these apps can be collapsed into a panel at the bottom of the screen. That way, users can respond to messages, open other mini-apps, or switch between accounts, then return to the app without reloading. To collapse an app, simply swipe down on its header. Tap the app panel to open it. More info for developers can be found here. ⭐️Paid Content via Telegram Stars Now, content creators can accept Stars by posting paid photos or videos on their channels. This is a pay-per-view service. Stars can be exchanged for rewards in Toncoin or channel advertising, with nearly no commission. ⭐️Hashtag Search in Stories Now, clicking on a hashtag in any story will show search results for that tag from public stories. Use hashtags to expand your audience, to make Telegram users more likely to discover your profile or channel. Telegram Business offers powerful features for content creators and companies, free with Telegram Premium. ⭐️Location Search in Stories Add location tags to your stories so users can see it. These tags allow users to view public stories from that location. Private stories never appear in search results. Only eligible stories will appear in hashtag or location searches. ⭐️Link Widget in Stories Premium users can promote a link by adding a stylish preview on a photo or video, on a light or dark background. The link widget can have a custom name, replacing the URL text on top of the preview. ⭐️Rewards for Content Creators and Developers Bot developers and content creators can now use earned Stars to receive rewards in Toncoin or purchase Telegram advertising. The commission rate is close to zero, so only taxes and payment system fees apply. When transferring Stars to the Telegram advertising account, Telegram adds a 30% discount to cover all third-party payment system fees. If your bot or channel has a Stars balance, you can withdraw them through Fragment as Toncoin rewards. Toncoin is the primary currency on The Open Network, the world's fastest blockchain, and is easily exchangeable for any other cryptocurrency. ⭐️Subsidized Advertising for Creators and Developers Anyone can place private advertisements in public Telegram channels to promote bots, channels, or groups. Bot developers and content creators who use Stars to promote their bots or channels receive a special discounted rate of 30%, an effective way to attract new users. This marks an important milestone in Telegram's development, useful for users and creators, and providing new experiences and metrics. Your inspired @TonPost

🇰🇿Kazakhstan's Financial Authority has backed TON The Committee of the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) has officially approved Toncoin as a digital asset for trading on licensed AFSA platforms. This decision was taken following a comprehensive study confirming the asset's compliance with regulatory standards set by AFSA. Investors can now trade Toncoin within a secure regulatory framework that ensures a high level of protection. Toncoin's entry into AFSA's regulated environment opens new opportunities for institutional and retail investors seeking safe and transparent trading options. Incorporating into licensed platforms helps attract new participants and expand the market. There is a strong likelihood of TON being integrated as an additional payment method for Web2 services, as we can see from successful examples of e-commerce in Telegram Mini Apps. With Toncoin approved for trading on AFSA licensed platforms, the TON blockchain received a significant boost in presence in international markets. Support from a major international financial center like AFSA enhances the legitimacy and attractiveness of the TON blockchain on the global stage. Your digital @TonPost

TON will be supported on Bitget and Foresight Ventures The Open Network received a new boost with the launch of a $20 million fund, provided by the cryptocurrency exchange Bitget in partnership with the Singapore-based investment firm Foresight Ventures.

This initiative will attract new projects and assets such as TON-based Tether (USDt), DeDust.io, and Ston.fi. Grace Chen, CEO of Bitget, expressed enthusiasm about the growth of the TON ecosystem, highlighting the positive correlation between user growth, Total Value Locked (TVL), and token price.

🪄TON clickers give new life to old-school games? The gaming industry is witnessing a revival of old games, which has become a significant find for TON. A good example is the game Bcoin 2048, championed by TON Society's Moscow bootcamp. This game, reminiscent of the familiar 2048, offers something new: every tile merge results in token mining. This innovative and straightforward solution proved exceptionally viral: in just 10 days, the game attracted 1 million users almost entirely without advertising. Starting to play now is highly profitable, as in Bcoin, similar to the original Bitcoin, will undergo halving, after which mining rewards are drastically reduced. Bcoin 2048 has taken on games like Hamster Combat and Notcoin, demonstrating that gamification on TON is progressing from simple clickers to more complex and engaging mechanics. The game also includes advanced referral mechanics, allowing players to benefit almost immediately by receiving 50% of their invited friend's earnings and 25% of the coins mined by second-level referrals. Recently, the game introduced squads (BBC) formed from Telegram channels. Our channel has also created its own BBC team, inviting everyone interested to join the mining effort. Each day, the top 10% of players among our subscribers win additional Bcoins. With 2 out of 9 halvings already passed, now is the perfect time to start playing and benefit from this exciting process. Join our channel's team and let's start playing and mining Bcoin 2048! Your miner @TonPost
