<p>Today, we're introducing one of the <strong>most generous reward systems</strong> in the history of social media. Telegram channel owners can now receive <strong>50%</strong> of the revenue from ads displayed in their channels.</p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="rewards-for-creators"href="#rewards-for-creators"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Rewards for Creators</h4>
<p>Telegram users generate over <strong>1 trillion views</strong> in channels every month. Starting today, owners of public channels with at least <strong>1000</strong> subscribers can be rewarded with <strong>50%</strong> of the revenue from ads displayed in their channels.</p>

<p>Channel owners can withdraw their rewards with <strong>no fees</strong>– or <strong>reinvest</strong> them into <ahref="https://ads.telegram.org/">Telegram ads</a>, <ahref="https://fragment.com/">collectible usernames</a> or <ahref="https://fragment.com/premium/giveaway">Premium giveaways</a>.</p>
<p>Go to <em>Channel Settings > Statistics > Monetization</em> to see your channel's monetization stats. Withdrawals for channel owners will be via <ahref="https://fragment.com/ads">Fragment</a>. You can find the full terms and conditions <ahref="https://telegram.org/tos/content-creator-rewards">here</a>. </p>
<p>To make this possible, we're introducing a new type of ads, which users can purchase with <strong>Toncoins</strong>– a cryptocurrency powered by the <strong>TON Blockchain</strong>.</p>
<p>We chose the TON Blockchain because it has <strong>low fees</strong>, <strong>high transaction speeds</strong>– and holds a <ahref="https://blog.ton.org/100000-transactions-per-second-ton-sets-the-world-record-on-its-first-performance-test">record</a> for the number of transactions it can process <strong>per second</strong>.</p>
<p>Anyone can now <strong>promote their bot</strong> or <strong>channel</strong>– with budgets as low as a handful of Toncoins. When creating a Telegram ad, you choose the <strong>exact channels</strong> where you'd like it to appear, so you have full control over their context.</p>

<h4><aclass="anchor"name="why-telegram-ads-are-special"href="#why-telegram-ads-are-special"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Why Telegram Ads Are Special</h4>
<p>Telegram ads are very different from ads on other apps. They are shown only in <strong>large public channels</strong>. They <strong>never appear</strong> in your chats, chat list or other interfaces.</p>
<p>Telegram ads are <strong>not based on user data</strong>. They depend only on the <strong>channel in which you see them</strong>– and they directly <strong>benefit channel owners</strong>.</p>
