How to Buy Telegram Stars with TON — Step-by-Step (2026)
Telegram Stars are the in-app currency powering premium features across the Telegram ecosystem. Whether you want to support creators, unlock exclusive content, or boost your channels, Stars are the way to do it. In this guide, we'll walk you through buying Telegram Stars with TON — skipping the app-store markup entirely. Telegram's in-app prices on iOS and Android include the app store's standard 30% commission on in-app purchases. Pay with TON or USDT here and that store cut never enters your price — you pay the on-chain rate, not the sticker the app shows. Ready when you are — you can buy Telegram Stars with crypto in a couple of minutes, with no card and no KYC.
If you're not sure what Stars are or why they matter, check out our article on what Telegram Stars are and why you need them. If you're choosing between Stars and Premium in the first place, our Stars vs Premium decision guide lays out who each product is for — and the same TON flow below also buys Telegram Premium; gifting it to any username works exactly the same way.
What You Need Before You Start
Before you can buy Telegram Stars with TON, make sure you have the following:
- A Telegram account — any active Telegram account works. No premium subscription required.
- A TON wallet — we recommend Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, or any TON Connect-compatible wallet. These wallets are free and available on iOS, Android, and desktop.
- TON tokens — you can purchase TON on major exchanges like Binance, OKX, Bybit, or KuCoin. Transfer the TON to your wallet before starting.
Don't have TON yet? You can also pay with USDT instead — though TON has zero platform fees, making it the better deal.
Step 1: Open MyStars.tg
You can access MyStars.tg in two ways:
- Telegram Mini App — open our bot @my_stars_tg_bot in Telegram and tap "Open App". This is the fastest method if you're already in Telegram.
- Web browser — visit the website directly. The platform works seamlessly in both Chrome and Safari.
Both methods give you the same features and pricing — choose whichever is more convenient.
Step 2: Select Your Stars Package
On the homepage, scroll down to the package selection section. We offer pre-configured bundles ranging from 50 to 10,000+ Stars. Each package shows the price in both TON and USD, so you always know exactly what you're paying.
Indicative USD pricing for the most-picked bundles:
| Bundle | Approx. USD |
|---|---|
| 50 Stars | $0.90 |
| 100 Stars | $1.70 |
| 500 Stars | $8.60 |
| 1,000 Stars | $17.30 |
Prices as of May 2026 and rounded to the nearest $0.10 — actual checkout numbers are computed live from the Fragment base cost plus the platform margin, refreshed every five minutes. The live homepage always wins; treat the table as a rule-of-thumb.
Need a specific amount? Use the custom quantity input to enter any number of Stars (minimum 50). The price calculator updates in real time as you type.
Step 3: Connect Your TON Wallet
Click the "Connect Wallet" button in the top navigation bar. A TON Connect dialog will appear showing compatible wallets. Select your wallet app (Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, etc.) and approve the connection request.
Once connected, your wallet address will appear in the header. This address is used to verify your payment on the blockchain and to route automatic reversals if anything goes wrong.
Step 4: Complete the Payment
After selecting your package and connecting your wallet:
- Click "Buy Now" to open the payment dialog.
- Select TON as your payment method.
- Review the total — TON payments have zero platform fees. The price you see is the price you pay, plus a negligible blockchain gas fee.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet app when prompted.
The payment is verified on-chain within seconds, and your Stars are delivered automatically.
Step 5: Receive Your Stars
Once the blockchain confirms your payment, Stars are delivered directly to your Telegram account. Average delivery time is under 30 seconds.
You'll see the Stars appear in your Telegram balance immediately. No additional action required on your part.
What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?
If something goes wrong with a payment, funds are returned to the sending wallet on-chain automatically, minus a small network fee. That applies whether the issue is on the payment side or on the delivery side — no support ticket required.
In short, your funds are always protected. No payment is ever lost.
Why Choose TON for Buying Stars?
TON is the best payment method for Telegram Stars, and here's why:
- No app-store markup — in the App Store the same Stars can cost up to 34% more than here (see our price breakdown).
- Zero platform fees — no extra charges beyond the blockchain gas fee.
- No KYC — buy anonymously without identity verification or documents.
- Secure — all transactions are verified on the TON blockchain. Your wallet keys never leave your device.
- Native integration — TON is built by the same team behind Telegram, so the blockchain integration is seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my payment doesn't arrive?
If a payment can't be completed as expected, our system automatically processes a reversal to your wallet on-chain, minus a small network fee. No support ticket required.
Can I buy Stars for someone else?
Yes. Stars are delivered to the @username you enter at checkout — your own handle is filled in by default, but you can replace it with anyone else's. The one thing you cannot do is hand over Stars that are already sitting in your balance: a balance is spent, not transferred. So to give someone Stars, you buy new ones for their handle, and they land straight in their account.
What is the minimum purchase?
The minimum package is 50 Stars. For custom quantities, the minimum is also 50 Stars. There is no maximum limit.
How long does delivery take?
Stars are typically delivered within 30 seconds after your TON payment is confirmed on the blockchain. TON transactions confirm in 3-5 seconds, so the entire process takes under a minute.
Do I need KYC verification?
No. MyStars.tg does not require any identity verification. You only need a Telegram account and a TON wallet.
