🏳️ Gram Wallet in Telegram is ready and is now accessible to a select group of users.

A high-school student just made $20,000 from a Telegram Gift. Jonathan He, an IOI gold medalist ranked #7 in the world, sold his Algorithm Cup — an NFT we gave to the top young coders this month — for 💎 15,000 Grams. Happy for him. It's a meaningful sum for someone still in school, and I suspect a small fraction of what he'll go on to build. 20 years ago, $20K was enough for me to launch my first company. Within months, it had reached 1M users and raised $12M at a $60M valuation. 💸 I hope some of this year's winners put their Grams to similar use! 📈

💸 In just one month, Telegram has awarded over $2,222,000 to some of the brightest minds on our planet. 🎨 This week alone we distributed $222,000 among the winners of our two latest competitions — the Design Contest and the Digital Freedom Contest. On top of that, over the past month we awarded prizes worth more than $2 million to the winners of the 2026 International Olympiads in Informatics and AI. We're proud to support the best! 🎁

🤝 Telegram has become the sponsor of Codeforces — the largest competitive programming platform in the world. ⚡CodeForces organizes over 100 coding contests every year and has 4 million contestants signed up. 🌱 Since 2010, I've supported Codeforces through the companies I started. 🆙 But this year will be special. Its founder Mike wants to bring Codeforces to the next level — and we'll be happy to help him do that 🤝
