Idea Contest: Key Insights The contest helped us understand what kinds of tools could make the Telegram experience more productive and easier to use. Many submissions pointed to the same needs: simple transparent tools, better ways to manage information, and lightweight utilities for creators, teams and personal workflows. Winners and Their Ideas 1st Place - Crypto Watcher A compact tool for real-time token price alerts and market monitoring. It helps users stay informed without getting lost in the message flow, delivering clear, timely updates directly inside Telegram. 2nd Place - Ad Marketplace for Telegram Channels A native marketplace that connects creators and advertisers. It simplifies channel monetization by reducing manual work, adding transparency and removing the trust issues common in current ad deals. 3rd Place - Simple Mini-App Stores Two winners proposed similar tools for easy, no-code creation of mini-app shops. These ideas support creators by making it simple to sell digital goods, handle payments and distribute content without external platforms. Other Participants Beyond the main winners, the contest surfaced several other concepts aimed at improving everyday workflows inside Telegram, including: – AI chat summarizers to reduce information overload and help users quickly extract key updates from active channels. – A broad service marketplace designed to make peer-to-peer interactions more structured and trustless. – Simple file conversion utilities that help users complete basic tasks without switching to external apps.

Access Analytics Access just received a major update that introduces a global ranking of active chats. With members up by about 47% and chats up by around 50% over the past week, this is a good moment to look at the latest changes. Overview – 600+ active chats – 25K+ members connected Among the most active communities are Pudgy Penguins, Chimpers, Doodles, 8 Club, Teddie and other holder-based groups. A consistent flow of verified entries keeps them at the top of the activity ranking. Asset Value The global ranking can be filtered by two parameters: the number of users and the Asset Value (TVL). This parameter shows the economic weight of a gated space by reflecting how much users hold to access a chat, helping compare how different groups perform. Access | Tools.tg @builders

Ads Marketplace Contest — Results & Insights 50+ submissions received. We reviewed every entry: manual code review, product testing, and AI-assisted codebase analysis. The spread was wide — from empty repos to solid MVPs. Common issues we found: 1. Channel Stats In our view, the best approach for channel analytics is MTProto’s method stats.getBroadcastStats — it gives you subscribers, avg views, Premium ratio, language breakdown, growth charts, all from one call. That said, we were open to other original solutions that could reliably deliver the same data — as long as the implementation was your own, not a call to an external analytics API. In practice, most submissions claimed «verified channel stats» but only called getChatMemberCount via Bot API — which gives you subscriber count and nothing else. 2. Payments and Escrow The most common area of weakness. Most projects did integrate with TON in some form, but the implementation quality varied a lot. Some of the recurring issues: – All deals sharing one wallet with no fund isolation — one security breach and everything is compromised – Fund release and refund operations that aren’t safe to retry — if the service crashes mid-process, funds can be sent twice or never sent – No locks or atomicity in background workers handling payments — race conditions leading to duplicate transactions – Transaction verification that doesn’t actually check the blockchain In general, any operation involving money needs to be designed for the worst case: crashes, retries, concurrent calls. This applies also to ad posting, not just escrow. Some of these are understandable in an MVP context, but they still influenced how we evaluated the submissions. 3. Broken demos Some demos weren’t functional, and self-deploy instructions were missing or incomplete. In those cases, hands-on product testing wasn’t conducted. 4. Overengineered Flows Surprisingly common. Many projects added unnecessary complexity on top of the cor… Read in full →
