FAQ

What are Telegram gifts?

Telegram gifts are digital gifts you can send to anyone in Telegram for Telegram Stars. Many gifts can be upgraded into unique collectibles with their own number, model, backdrop and symbol — those can be transferred, resold and withdrawn as NFTs on the TON blockchain.

How do I know what a gift is worth?

Start from the collection floor (the cheapest listing) and compare gifts with the same model and backdrop — rare combinations trade higher. Bubble's estimate accounts for model and backdrop and shows collection stats, with prices from all venues in one feed.

What is Bubble?

Bubble (@bubbl) is a Telegram Mini App that aggregates Telegram Gifts and collectible stickers from gift marketplaces into one feed, and adds its own marketplace, buy orders, offers, OTC swaps and gift ↔ TON NFT conversion.

How do I open Bubble?

Open t.me/bubbl in Telegram and tap Start. Bubble runs inside Telegram on mobile, desktop and web — nothing to install.

What fees does Bubble charge?

Bubble is free to use, and purchases from other marketplaces (MRKT, Portals, Tonnel, Getgems, etc.) carry a 0% Bubble fee: you pay the listing price, which already includes that venue's own fees. Bubble does charge fees on its own marketplace, orders and offers, Lucky Buy, swap top-ups and gift withdrawals — always shown before you confirm. Gift-for-gift swaps without a top-up are free.

Which marketplaces does Bubble aggregate?

Per its terms of use, Bubble aggregates MRKT, Portals, Tonnel, Getgems and other Telegram gift marketplaces, plus Telegram's built-in market and its own Bubble marketplace. Collectible stickers come from Sticker Pack, Palace, Laffka, Harbor, Pixel and others. The current list is visible in the app filters.

Do I need a wallet?

Yes — connect a TON wallet via TON Connect, for example Gram Wallet, Telegram's built-in wallet (choose “Telegram” in the TON Connect window) or any compatible wallet.

What are orders and offers?

An order is a standing buy request for a collection, model, backdrop or symbol at your price. An offer is a price proposal on a specific listing. Bubble lets you place orders (incl. Portals orders by collection, model, backdrop or symbol), pick the marketplace and send offers on MRKT and Portals listings without leaving the app. The placement fee is shown upfront and is non-refundable.

Can I swap one gift for another?

Yes. Bubble supports OTC swaps: offer your gift for someone else's, optionally adding GRAM on top. Swaps without a top-up are free, and failed swap transactions are retried automatically.

Can I turn a Telegram gift into a TON NFT?

Yes. From the gift card in Bubble you can convert a Telegram gift into an NFT on TON and bring it back to Telegram; each direction takes about 1–1.5 minutes.

How do I avoid scams when trading gifts?

Only use the official @bubbl bot — scammers clone bots with similar names. Never send gifts to “escrow guarantors” in chats; swaps in Bubble happen inside the app. Always check collection, model, backdrop and number on the gift card.

How are Bubble giveaway winners picked?

Winners are picked using a TON block hash, so anyone can verify the result.

What languages does Bubble support?

The Bubble interface is available in English, Russian and Chinese.

Is Bubble an official Telegram app?

No. Bubble is an independent service built on Telegram Mini Apps and is not affiliated with Telegram.

Did Bubble use a different username before?

Yes — it used to be @bubble_market_bot. Since October 23, 2026 the main address is @bubbl; news is posted in @bubble_store.
