SPLIT: Stars and Premium for Crypto

You need Telegram Premium, you need Stars for mini apps, and the usual payment method either fails or does not suit you. SPLIT targets exactly that: buying Stars and Premium with cryptocurrency or rubles from inside Telegram ⭐

It is a third-party app with no connection to the messenger itself. So what follows covers convenience and caution alike.

What you can buy

The core of the service is Telegram Stars and a Premium subscription. Premium comes in several terms, and the project's site mentions three months, six months and a year.

• Stars. Telegram's internal currency for paying in mini apps, bots and tipping creators.
• Premium. The messenger's paid subscription with higher limits and extra features.
• NFT gift rentals. A gift can be borrowed for a daily fee so you can show it to friends.

What you pay with

The service started with cryptocurrency on the TON network. Later it added USDT payments, a Russian interface and rubles, so you can pay without converting money to crypto first.

Which methods are available right now depends on updates. Check the current list inside the app before you pay 💳

"No KYC" in practice

The service says no identity check is needed. For a buyer that is fast and needs no documents. It also means no regulator has vetted the company, and getting money back depends on agreeing with support.

Independent reviews of the service are scarce, so you have to judge its reputation yourself. Start with a small amount.

If your Stars did not arrive

The project's channel explained that a payment can occasionally be delayed under heavy load. In that case you contact support and send a screenshot of the payment.

1. Keep the payment details. The screenshot and time are needed for a request.
2. Wait a few minutes. Blockchain confirmation sometimes lags.
3. Contact support only through the link inside the app. Fake "support" is an easy phishing setup.

Staying safe when buying from a third party

Stars and Premium never require your account password, login code or seed phrase. If someone asks for these "to activate" the purchase, it is a scam, so end the conversation.

Look-alike sites also exist, promising discounts of tens of percent. Make sure you open the mini app from the project's own profile, not a copy from a link in a chat 🔍

When it makes sense

Buying through a third-party service is reasonable when the payment form you need is not available in Telegram itself and the amount is small. For large sums, the official route is safer.

Compare the final price including network fees and the exchange rate, not only the figure on the banner.
