Getgems NFT — Telegram Channel

Getgems is the official channel of the Getgems NFT marketplace on TON, and it runs less like a news feed and more like a product blog with a teaching thread running through it. A large share of posts carry a #glossary tag and walk through mechanics step by step: how GRAM network fees work and why most of the upfront amount gets refunded, the difference between onchain and offchain Telegram Gifts, how minting turns a Gift into a real NFT via the "Mint gift" button, and why there's no withdraw button because the marketplace never custodies your funds — your coins sit in your own wallet (Tonkeeper, Wallet) the whole time.

Alongside the explainers sit straightforward product announcements: new features like NFT bundles (selling several items as one lot), the Predict mini-app for betting on sports and market outcomes, USDT payments for Telegram Stars, and fee changes (the trading fee has moved from 5% to 0% to a settled 2%). Monthly recaps quantify things concretely — trading volume in GRAM, Stars purchased, specific sale prices for rare items like Anonymous Telegram Numbers or sticker packs — rather than speaking in vague growth language.

A recurring format is the sticker-store digest, which rounds up activity from partner projects — Goodies, VeVe, Elephant, ZarGates — covering their drops, tournaments, and burn events. This is useful for anyone tracking the TON sticker/collectibles scene as a whole, not just Getgems itself, though it's still coverage of projects Getgems has a commercial relationship with.

The tradeoff is that this is an in-house channel, not independent coverage. Every post closes with the same block of follow-links, the tone stays upbeat regardless of subject, and there's no mention of competing TON marketplaces, no discussion of failed drops or user complaints, and no price commentary that isn't framed as good news. The educational posts are genuinely clear, but they exist to lower the barrier to trading on Getgems specifically, not to explain TON NFTs as a neutral topic.

This suits someone already using or considering Getgems who wants plain-language explanations of onchain concepts alongside product updates and a pulse on the broader TON sticker ecosystem. It's the wrong source for independent market analysis, marketplace comparisons, or a critical look at NFT trading risks.
