Collectible Gifts. Gifts you receive can be upgraded to collectible versions, unlocking new appearances from dozens of custom variations made by Telegram artists. When buying a gift for another user, you can send it already upgraded – and watch as they open it in the chat. Collectible gifts can be transferred to other users or auctioned on NFT marketplaces. Upgrading a gift costs a small amount of Telegram Stars, used to cover blockchain fees.
