Take a look at this 👀

Looks like they had already shared these two blog posts with the Telegram team as proposals — and now they’re making them public for all of us to see.

Both posts were originally created back in 2025.

Maybe we should all tag @durov under the latest X post about sticker integration in Telegram via @sticker_bot?

Here’s the post: https://x.com/stickers_tg/status/2049135624528031820?s=46

Just mention @durov and add a short message after it so X doesn’t flag it as spam.

Allo is calling out the buggy Sticker Pad system — but still says he’s taking his sticker pack all the way to sold out and mint, even if he has to sweep the remaining supply himself.

About Sticker Pad

Before it launched, Sticker Pad sounded like a great idea. Influencers, wealthy users, or even small independent artists could release their own sticker packs, promote them, and push their NFT collections.

But what do we actually see now?

No one has been able to sell out 1,000 stickers without buying a large portion of their own supply. Flippers dominate the market and simply don’t allow collections to sell out organically.

So where is that “95% earnings” everyone was talking about?
Right now, it’s basically impossible to sell your stickers without heavily buying them yourself.

About bots

At this point, if you don’t use bots, you have no chance of buying good sticker packs early for 1–3 TON. Bots snipe up to 50% of the supply within seconds and then resell it.

What’s worse, the @sticker_bot team doesn’t seem to fight bots at all — if anything, their behavior suggests the opposite.

The result

For creators: it’s nearly impossible to sell your collection without buying back a large portion yourself. And even if you do sell out, your real profit is far below the promised ~5,500 TON because you spent your own funds supporting the sale.
For regular buyers: it’s almost impossible to get in early at a fair price without bots. And if you buy later, you’re basically just providing exit liquidity for flippers and bots.

Allo will host a major giveaway for holders of his sticker pack once it’s fully minted (sold out).

The total prize pool is valued at 1600 $TON and includes items like Durov’s Cap, Scared Cat, Artisan Brick, and more.

I think this is too cheap... 🥴

OHUENKO (Telegram’s Creative Director for Gifts) jokingly — or maybe not — asked where to buy Ayanami Rei stickers from Smash, released on Sticker Pad via @sticker_bot.

Ape Edition is currently valued at around 400 $TON. Selling it doesn’t really make sense — it’s rare and could keep growing in value.

But sometimes you still need TON.

With Laffka, you can temporarily deposit your sticker, get up to 240 $TON (40% of its value), use the funds however you want, and later return the TON with a small fee to get your sticker back.

@takoy_sasha, founder of Notcoin, just picked up the Notcoin Flags and Notcoin OG sticker packs 👀

If the Notcoin team plans to become a top player in the NFT sticker market, this looks like one of the most attractive options right now in terms of team popularity, capabilities, sticker price, and supply.

You can get a sticker from a top-tier project (Notcoin) with a low supply (1,000 items) for around ~25 $TON.

DYOR

@takoy_sasha, the founder of Notcoin, was testing the release of a sticker pack called “Official Telegram Pack”…

By the way, here’s the link to the test sticker pack.

Just a reminder:

At their peak, Notcoin Flags were trading at around 300 TON when 1 TON was worth about $3 👀
