Difference between NFT, SBT, gifts and Stickers

| Feature

| NFT (Non-Fungible Token)

| SBT (Soulbound Token)

| Stickers

| Gifts

| | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Definition

| Unique digital assets on the TON blockchain representing ownership of items like art, collectibles, or virtual goods.

| Non-transferable tokens bound to a specific wallet, representing identity, credentials, or achievements. Not explicitly standardized in TON but conceptually applicable.

| Digital images or animations used in Telegram chats, often tokenized as NFTs or managed as collectibles in TON. Connected to Emojis for better usability.

| Limited-edition digital items sent via Telegram, often with a time limit to claim, convertible to TON-based NFTs or other assets.

| | Transferability

| Fully transferable; can be bought, sold, or traded on TON marketplaces like Getgems or Disintar.

| Non-transferable; permanently linked to the issuing wallet (if implemented in TON, would restrict transfers via smart contracts).

| Varies; some are freely usable, others are tokenized as NFTs and transferable, depending on the sticker pack.

| Initially non-transferable until claimed; some can be converted to transferable NFTs after claiming.

| | Monetary Value

| Holds monetary value based on market demand; often traded for TON coins.

| No monetary value; designed for non-financial utility like reputation or proof of achievement.

| Limited monetary value; premium or tokenized sticker packs may be sold as NFTs, but most are free or low-cost.

| May have monetary value if converted to NFTs; otherwise, primarily sentimental or promotional.

| | Use Case in TON

| -Digital art and collectibles (e.g., TON Punks).

• Profile pictures or avatars.
• In-game assets in TON-based games.

| - Potential for KYC verification (e.g., similar to Binance’s BAB token).

• Proof of attendance at TON events.
• Digital credentials or DAO membership (if adopted).

| - Enhancing Telegram chats with custom visuals.

• Collectible sticker packs sold as NFTs (e.g., premium Telegram sticker sets).

| - Sending limited-edition digital gifts via Telegram (e.g., for promotions or events).

• Conversion to NFTs for trading or collection.

| | Storage

| Stored in TON wallets (e.g., Tonkeeper) as standard Jettons or NFTs.

| Stored in a TON wallet but locked to prevent transfer (if implemented, would use custom smart contracts).

| Stored in Telegram’s sticker library; tokenized stickers stored in TON wallets as NFTs.

| Stored in Telegram’s gift section until claimed; convertible gifts stored as NFTs in TON wallets.

| | Creation/Minting

| Minted on TON blockchain using platforms like Getgems or custom smart contracts; follows TON’s NFT standards.

| Minted with smart contracts disabling transfer functions (not yet common in TON but feasible).

| Bought via Stickers bot as NFTs on TON.

| Issued by Telegram or partners as promotional items; conversion to NFTs handled by TON smart contracts.

| | Examples in TON

| - TON Punks, Egg Fight NFTs.

• Anonymous Telegram Numbers (linked to phone numbers).

| - Hypothetical: TON-based KYC tokens or event badges (no prominent examples yet).

| - Telegram’s animated sticker packs.

• Tokenized sticker sets sold on Getgems.

| - Telegram Stars gifts.

• Limited-edition event gifts convertible to NFTs.

| | Interoperability

| Compatible with TON marketplaces and potentially other blockchains via bridges.

| Limited interoperability due to non-transferability; specific to issuing entity’s ecosystem (if implemented).

| Limited to Telegram unless tokenized as NFTs, then compatible with TON marketplaces.

| Limited to Telegram until converted to NFTs, then compatible with TON marketplaces.

| | Revocability

| Generally not revocable unless specified in the smart contract.

| Potentially revocable by the issuer (e.g., for credentials); depends on smart contract design.

| Not revocable for standard stickers; tokenized stickers follow NFT rules.

| May expire if not claimed within a time limit; converted NFTs follow standard NFT rules.

| | Privacy

| Publicly visible on the blockchain; ownership traceable unless anonymized.

| Can be public or private depending on implementation; sensitive data may require privacy solutions.

| Public within Telegram chats; tokenized stickers have public blockchain records.

| Private until claimed; NFT-converted gifts have public blockchain records.
