Swapping Stars
How to turn Telegram Stars into crypto, step by step.
What are Telegram Stars?
Stars are the built-in Telegram currency. You buy them right inside Telegram — in the app settings or through the official Telegram bots — and pay with them inside mini apps like Stargate.
How a Stars swap goes
Pick Stars as what you send, choose the coin to receive, and paste your wallet address.
The app opens a Telegram invoice — the standard Telegram payment window. Confirm it with one tap.
After the payment the swap starts automatically. Follow the progress on the order screen — each stage is shown as a step.
The crypto arrives at the wallet address you gave. Done.
How long does it take?
Small swaps usually settle within minutes. Large Stars swaps wait out the Telegram 21-day refund window — the order shows the exact release date, and a stake removes the wait entirely: The 21-day hold and stake
