Matcha Market: A Cozy Gift Marketplace

A gift sits in your Telegram profile and you want to sell or swap it quickly, without haggling in private chats with strangers. Matcha Market is a cozy mini app marketplace for trading stickers and gifts.

The tagline is simple: "just a cozy market", with a frog in the logo 🐸.

What is traded here

• Telegram gifts. Collectible gifts you received or bought.
• Stickers. Digital stickers, which are also traded as collectibles.

The marketplace puts both in one place so you do not hunt for buyers across chats or risk hand-to-hand deals.

Why use a market instead of a DM? 🔐

Deals between strangers on Telegram rest on trust, and that is the weak spot. A marketplace acts as an intermediary: the item goes through the platform, and the deal runs there.

This makes it easier to check that the goods are real and that the seller does not vanish after payment. Still, choose your intermediary carefully.

What a deal looks like

1. Open the mini app and browse what is for sale.
2. Compare prices on similar gifts from the same collection.
3. Buy or list your own item following the on-screen steps.
4. Keep your deal history and go slowly with large amounts.

Referrals and bonuses

The project has talked about a two-level referral program, where rewards went not only to whoever invited a friend but also to whoever brought in a friend of a friend. Details may have changed, so check the project channel for current terms.

Keep a clear head about such bonuses: invitations pay small amounts and do not replace income.

Channel and support

The marketplace has an official news channel and a separate support contact. If something goes wrong, write there, not in comments under posts, where scammers often reply.

Check that the bot name matches exactly what the channel lists. Lookalikes with similar names are common.

Getting started as a newcomer 🌱

First, just browse and see how prices are set for gifts like yours. After a few days you will know which prices are real and which are wishful.

Make your first deal a small one, so you walk the whole path and see how the item arrives and what fees apply. Move to expensive items only after that.

What to check before a deal 👀

• Rarity. Price depends on the collection, model and number of copies issued.
• Fees. Learn the platform's charges before confirming.
• Price swings. The gift market is young and can be very unstable.
• Permissions. Give the bot no more access than a deal needs.

Collectible gifts can gain or lose value. Never put in money you need for living.
