Fuse has been quiet for over six months with no updates. But today, Oleksandr Usyk made a post related to the launch of his sticker collection.

Could it be that TON Foundation — the team behind Fuse — intentionally paused releases to avoid launching stickers at the wrong time, when most people had already lost faith in the integration?

And now, are they preparing to return right before NFT stickers get native integration into Telegram?

May 23, 2026 — Oleksandr Usyk steps into the ring for his next fight.

Do you think it’s possible that TON Foundation has paid for promotion of the upcoming NFT sticker drop?

Could we see Fuse and its stickers advertised directly in the ring — similar to how Telegram once promoted its gifts?

After a recent purchase (around 20 minutes ago), the floor price of Ice Pengu has reached 333 $TON.

Influencers from the Notcoin community (like @zaegd (tugita) and others) suddenly started posting the @sticker_bot logo. Looks like Sticker Pad might be dropping very soon.

With the launch of Sticker Pad, some “gift-focused” influencers and projects have started rolling out their own sticker packs — bringing in a whole new audience.

We were right.

Recraft drops today at 15:30 GMT for members of the DOGS Premium Holders Chat.

Holders of the full DOGS OG sticker collection will be eligible to claim the God-tier skin.

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.
