💥Telegram integrates TON amid a strike against the Apple tax
At the end of June, a court denied Apple’s request to overturn Judge Rogers’ ruling: the company can no longer charge fees for third-party payments inside the App Store and must allow links to external purchases. For now, this applies only in the U.S., but it represents a significant move in the fight against Apple’s monopoly.
Telegram responded quickly, releasing
an update just yesterday introducing suggested posts: any offer in a channel can now be paid for using Telegram Stars or TON.
Why TON is the better choice:
- Payments in TON are irreversible, unlike Stars, which can be refunded through Apple for up to 21 days.
- Authors receive payment 24 hours after publication. If the post is deleted before that time, TON is refunded.
- A 15% fee is Telegram’s charge for acting as a guarantor: the channel gets 85%, and you're protected.
- You can top up your balance via Fragment (with KYC) or through Peskar at Split.tg.
Before publishing, you can propose edits: change the text, image, or price. Once both sides agree, the post is published immediately or on schedule.
Telegram is cautiously expanding TON features under new App Store rules. The removal of the Apple tax paves the way for crypto monetization, and it's not about to end anytime soon.
💎You can spin the little diamond icon on the TON balance page. That’s today’s fun fact. More updates coming soon.
