How to sell Telegram Stars
How to sell Telegram Stars from your account or from your wallet in the Shiba Bank bot and get USDT on TON: what you need, rate, limits, checks and payout times.
Stars on your Telegram account can be sold to the Shiba Bank bot for USDT on the TON network, paid to your own wallet. People do this after selling a gift, for example, or after a giveaway in their channel.
Where you can sell from
- Your Telegram account. The bot issues an invoice in Stars, you pay it with Stars from your balance, and the bot sends USDT.
- Your wallet in the bot. Stars kept in the Shiba Bank wallet can be sold from there, at their own rate shown on the sale screen.
What you need
- A confirmed phone number in Telegram — the bot will ask you to share it.
- A wallet on TON that accepts USDT without a memo or comment: Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet or Telegram Wallet, for example. Exchange addresses that require a memo will not work.
How to sell: step by step
- Open the bot and tap "Sell Stars".
- Choose where from: your Telegram account or your wallet in the bot.
- Enter the amount — the bot shows at once how much USDT you get.
- Paste your TON wallet address or pick a saved one. The bot shows the full address — check it.
- Confirm the request; when selling from your account, pay the invoice with Stars.
- USDT arrives in your wallet, and the bot sends a link to the transaction on the blockchain.
Rate and limits
The rate is on the sale screen before you confirm, and exactly the amount shown arrives — the service pays the TON network fee. A single request has a minimum and a maximum; a new account's first request is smaller, and the limit grows after that.
Why a payout is sometimes not instant
Some requests are checked by hand — that is about how fast the payout goes, not about trust. Sometimes a payout needs a protective delay: then the bot shows the payout date on a screen of its own before you pay, and you can walk away losing nothing. The delay exists because Telegram can return Stars to a buyer some time after a purchase.
If Stars are returned through Telegram after the payout, it creates a debt and may restrict the account.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get dollars on a card?
No, the payout is USDT on TON only. You can exchange USDT for money with any service you like.
Can I sell Stars I received as a gift or for a gift?
Yes, as long as they are on your Telegram account balance: it does not matter whether you bought or received them.
How long does the payout take?
If the request needs no check, USDT goes out right after payment. If it needs a check or a delay, the bot says so before you pay.
Can I cancel a request?
Yes, until you pay the invoice with Stars — nothing is taken.
