Telegram Limited Stickers: The Long Road to NFT Integration

Limited Stickers in Telegram are exclusive sticker collections released in a non-official Sticker Pack app created by the NotCoin and DOGS teams. Launched on December 21, the platform offered several collections like DOGS, BAYC, and Blum. The community's interest grew after the Token2049 event in 2024, where Pavel Durov discussed integrating NFT stickers into Telegram and their promising future similar to anonymous numbers. Users found appeal in owning unique, collectible items that could provide perks and showcase their status in chats. Prominent brands like Bored Ape Yacht Club and Pudgy Penguins boosted interest, fueling expectations of their investment potential. However, issues remain: these stickers can't yet be turned into NFTs, lack an official marketplace for trading, and some Bored Apes are not original but merch based on Ethereum NFTs. The future might hold high value for these stickers, but mainstream adoption requires direct Telegram integration and features to stand out in chats. Currently, these are just standard packs that anyone can save, with only owners able to edit them. One notable application is creating sticker galleries, such as Gift Wiki, where users can review and collect packs. Overall, the status of these stickers is 'Soon...', and many owners are now long-term investors in hopes of future developments.
