Buy and Sell Telegram Apps on TG.app: Asset Marketplace

List a Mini App, bot, channel, or group for sale in Telegram Stars. Buyers pay upfront, TG.app holds escrow for 21 days, and ownership transfers after the checklist is done.

Transferring a Mini App or community is messy: BotFather, admins, repos, servers, env files. Asset marketplace puts the payment and catalog ownership on rails, so both sides can finish the handoff safely.

The problem

Selling a Telegram product is not a single click. Buyers need code, design assets, hosting, BotFather, and channel admin rights. Sellers need to get paid without getting chargebacked mid-transfer.

Browse the marketplace

The public Asset marketplace lists Mini Apps, bots, channels, and groups for sale in Telegram Stars. Filter by type, included assets, and price.

How a sale works

  1. Creator lists the app, bot, channel, or group from Creator Studio: Stars price, sale description, included assets checklist.
  2. Buyer pays the full amount in Stars upfront (the only rail for digital goods inside Telegram).
  3. Escrow for 21 days: Telegram holds earned Stars before withdrawal. TG.app uses that window so a failed transfer can still be refunded.
  4. Both sides complete the transfer checklist. When it is done, TG.app moves catalog ownership to the buyer.
  5. After the hold, the seller receives 90% (default; admin-configurable) as a wallet credit, withdrawable in TON. TG.app keeps the platform fee.

Buy or make an offer

Open any active sale to see the description, included assets, escrow terms, then Buy for N Stars or Make an offer. Offers also work from the public app page when the listing is claimed.

Why Stars (not TON at checkout)

  • App Store and Play Store require Stars for digital goods sold inside Telegram.
  • Fragment's 21-day hold is the natural escrow window for chargebacks.
  • Telegram Bot API cannot split an invoice to another user, so TG.app custodys Stars and settles sellers via ledger + TON payout (same pattern as community ads).

Sell from Creator Studio

Open any listing you control → Sell this listing → set price, describe what is included, tick assets (graphics, codebase, repository, server, BotFather, admins, DNS, secrets).
