How Much Is 1 Telegram Star Worth in Dollars?
1 Telegram Star ≈ $0.015 (1.5 cents). But the exact value fluctuates because Stars are pegged to TON, not USD.
MRKT Marketplace
The Formula
Star value = TON price ÷ 200
| TON Price | 1 Star = | 1,000 Stars = |
|---|---|---|
| $2.00 | $0.010 | $10.00 |
| $3.00 | $0.015 | $15.00 |
| $4.00 | $0.020 | $20.00 |
| $5.00 | $0.025 | $25.00 |
Important: This rate applies to earned Stars (withdrawable by developers). Purchased Stars cost more because Apple/Google add 30%. Buying through Fragment with TON is 30-40% cheaper than in-app purchase.
If you want real value flexibility, skip Stars and use TON directly on platforms like mrktxyz — no conversion friction.
