How to buy Telegram Stars with crypto
How to pay for Telegram Stars with crypto in the Shiba Bank bot: USDT and GRAM on TON from your own wallet, through TON Connect in the app, or through crypto payment bots in Telegram.
Crypto is a way to pay that works from any country. In the Shiba Bank bot, Stars and Premium can be paid with USDT and GRAM (TON) from your own wallet or through crypto payment bots in Telegram.
Ways to pay with crypto
- Your own TON wallet. The bot issues an invoice with an address, an amount and a comment. Pay with the Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet or Trust Wallet button, or by hand from any wallet.
- TON Connect in the app. In the Shiba Bank app your wallet connects with one button and the transfer is prepared for you — you only confirm it in the wallet.
- Crypto payment bots in Telegram — Crypto Bot, xRocket and others: pay from your balance there.
How to pay: step by step
- In the bot choose the number of Stars and the recipient.
- Choose "Crypto" and then the specific way.
- For your own wallet: send at least the amount shown to the invoice address, with the comment from the invoice.
- The bot finds the payment on the blockchain by itself and sends the Stars.
The transfer comment is the only thing that ties a payment to an order. Without it the payment cannot be matched automatically: contact support and include a link to the transaction.
Frequently asked questions
What if I sent a little more?
An overpayment counts as payment: what matters is that the amount is not less than the invoice and the comment is there.
How long until the Stars arrive?
The payment is usually found within a minute of being confirmed on the network, and the Stars go out right after.
Can I pay from an exchange?
Yes, if the exchange lets you add a comment to the transfer. If not, send the coins to your own TON wallet first and pay from there.
What do Stars cost in USDT?
Current prices are on the Telegram Stars prices page.
