Telegram Mini App for Communities & Memberships

Creators, DAOs, clubs and media brands run their communities in Telegram; a Mini App turns the channel into a product. We build membership portals with paid access and subscriptions through Telegram Stars or cards, content libraries, member directories, loyalty points, events and referral programs, all managed from an admin panel. Projects cost $10,000–$28,000 and take 5–8 weeks.

From a channel to a product

A Telegram channel is an audience; a Mini App is where that audience becomes a business. Members pay inside Telegram, get access automatically, find content and each other in one place, and come back because the bot reminds them. For creators this replaces a patchwork of Patreon, Discord and spreadsheets; for brands it is a loyalty program where customers already are.
