[bernard-ng]

Developers of bots accepting Telegram Stars (https://t.me/BotNews/90) ⭐️ can now withdraw rewards (https://telegram.org/tos/bot-developers#6-2-4-1-receiving-rewards) via the TON blockchain, or use stars to place subsidized Ads (https://telegram.org/tos/bot-developers#6-2-3-advertising-with-stars) on Telegram.

Telegram takes nearly 0% commission and adds a 30% discount for ads to compensate for third-party payment system fees – you can read more here (https://telegram.org/blog/mini-app-bar-paid-media-and-more#rewards-for-content-creators-and-developers).

Bot API 7.6, released today, adds even more improvements for all bots and mini apps, like:

• • Native multitasking (https://telegram.org/blog/mini-app-bar-paid-media-and-more#mini-app-bar) – allowing mini apps to be minimized and expanded without loading delays.
• • Default full-screen mode for mini apps opened by direct link (https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps#direct-link-mini-apps).
• • Support for sending paid media content (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#paidmedia) on behalf of content creators (https://telegram.org/blog/mini-app-bar-paid-media-and-more#pay-for-content-with-telegram-stars).
• • Updated transaction history, with support for Telegram Ads (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#transactionpartnertelegramads) and bot-specified payloads (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#transactionpartneruser).
