Listing insights
Every app and community detail page includes a Details panel with three scores: Trust, TON, and Buzz. They help visitors compare listings at a glance. Creators can use them to improve profile quality before promoting or verifying a listing.
Trust score
Trust measures how complete and credible a listing looks on TG.app.
| Signal | What we check |
|---|---|
| Core profile | Icon, short description, full description, category |
| Mini apps and bots | Screenshots where expected |
| Telegram link | Valid public link that matches listing type |
| Discovery | Tags and readable copy |
| Extra trust | Website or GitHub link when available |
| Freshness | Very low engagement may surface a refresh note |
Output: score 0-100 and letter grade A-F. Issues are grouped as errors, warnings, or notes. A complete profile with no blocking issues scores highest.
Why it matters: clearer listings get more clicks and better retention in the catalog. Admins also use trust signals when reviewing featuring requests.
TON readiness
TON estimates how aligned a listing is with the TON ecosystem inside Telegram.
Signals include:
- Keywords in name, description, and tags (for example TON, DeFi, wallet, NFT, agentic)
- Category fit (Finance, NFT, Tools, AI Agents, Wallets)
- External links that reference TON or Telegram-native flows
- Optional TON Connect manifest verification when a website URL is present
Output: percentage 0-100% and a tier:
| Tier | Typical range |
|---|---|
| TON Native | 70%+ |
| TON Integrated | mid range |
| TON Aware | light TON signals |
| Not TON-focused | minimal match |
This is a catalog heuristic, not an on-chain audit. It helps users find Web3-ready Mini Apps and bots faster.
Buzz score
Buzz is a composite engagement score built from activity on TG.app:
- Page views and outbound clicks
- Reviews and average rating
- Upvotes
- Editorial badges (featured, Editor's Choice)
- Platform verified status
Output: numeric score plus a label such as Community favorite, Trending now, Rising buzz, Steady traction, or New on TG.app.
Buzz reflects momentum inside TG.app today. It is not yet tied to Telegram Gift or Stars metrics.
Where scores appear
- Public listing page: Details section on
/apps/{slug}and community detail pages - Creator Studio: same insights while editing a listing

- Add screenshots for Mini Apps and bots.
- Link a website or GitHub when you have one.
