1
Prepare a TON wallet
The payout is USDT on the TON network. You need a wallet you control, not one held by a middleman.

Check the calculation before sending
In @flash_swap_bot you enter the number of stars and see the net amount: 0.013 USDT per star minus 20%.
-
3
Send the Stars
The deposit happens inside Telegram, minimum 5 ⭐. The time frame starts at this moment.
-
4
Wait out the hold
Telegram holds Stars for 21 days before payout. That is a messenger rule, not a delay by the service.
-
5
Receive USDT
After the hold, USDT is sent to your TON address. Keep the transaction identifier.
What to check before you start
Exchanging stars is not a transfer inside Telegram: the stars go to a bot and USDT arrives on a different network. That is why a wrong address or a wrong network cannot be undone.
- TON wallet address checked twice
- Network set to TON, not TRC20 or ERC20
- Net amount visible before you confirm the deposit
Why the time frame is 21 days
Telegram applies a 21-day hold to stars involved in a payout. No service can cancel it, and a service promising payment today is describing the messenger's rules incorrectly.
What actually reaches you
The 20% commission comes out of the gross amount. 1000 ⭐ is 13.00 USDT gross and 10.40 USDT net.
- Minimum deposit: 5 ⭐
- Referral bonus 10% applies to deposits up to 2000 ⭐
- The TON network transaction fee is a separate cost
