— New fields have been added:
• has_colors — whether the gift supports backdrop colors.(the last two fields were added earlier, but they weren’t available in the Bot API).
• unique_gift_variant_count — how many unique variants the gift has (for example, up to 2,400 completely different combinations of backdrops, models, and symbols).
• personal_remaining_count — how many gifts a user is allowed to purchase.
• personal_total_count — the total number of gifts available for purchase for that user.
— Auction gifts have been removed from the Bot API. This was necessary because they don’t have any functional use within bots.

2025 comes to an end, we’ve reached 11.5K subscribers — and I’m incredibly grateful to every single one of you for being here 😉
This channel started on January 19, 2025 as a public notebook, where I was tracking NFT-related changes on the test server and sharing a few updates. Today, it continues as my personal blog, where I post new updates, changes, and news about Telegram. I run this channel entirely on my own — there’s no team behind it, just me.
I’m especially thankful to channels like N&T, durovleaks, adurovleaks, and others. That’s where it all began. I’ve also been mentioned by many Telegram channels, news outlets, TikTok creators, and YouTube channels — thank you for that as well😘
A bit about me, so you know who’s behind all this. I’m just a regular person, like all of you, with no superpowers. My name is Denys (@desysx). I’m a student, I work on some Telegram bots (mostly for myself, not very public), and I’m a huge Telegram fan — which you can probably tell from this channel😜
If you’d like, you can support the channel with stars — that’s the only form of monetization I receive. I don’t get any revenue from the ads that Telegram shows in the channel🤓
And finally, I’d like to ask you something.
What useful features has Telegram added this year (including those currently in beta), and what would you like to change or add to Telegram? I’d be really interested to read your thoughts.
Wishing all of us a happy New Year🧑🎄

A new auction celebrating the symbol of 2026 — the Red Fire Horse.

Though why is the gift called "Trojan Horse" if it has nothing to do with the symbol...

By my local time (Kyiv time), the New Year has already arrived.
Happy New Year to everyone!🥳
I hope this year will keep surprising us with new updates. I’m very grateful to the Telegram developers for their fast work — though Telegram support could really use a few more people😉

In the new Telegram Beta for Android v12.3.1 (6384), the new design has been further refined.
— The connection, waiting for network, and updating status now appears under the «Telegram» logo.
— The theme switch button (light ↔ dark) has been moved into the three-dot menu on the main screen (previously it was shown next to it).
— The bottom navigation bar (Contacts, Calls, Chats, Profile) has been improved, with more prominent text.
— A new «Add Story» button has been added above the «New Chat» button (bottom right, next to the navigation bar).
There are also minor tweaks, including more rounded buttons, the profile the button has been changed from «Add Story» to «Edit Info», the search bar hiding while scrolling chats, and other small fixes.

Strange things are happening with the «Cake» gifts on the test server.
A second emoji pack with models has appeared (so the gifts now have two model packs), and these models show 0% rarity (these new models also don’t show up when you tap on the gift rarity percentage). The «Owner» field is also gone — Cake gifts now belong to no one. On the internal NFT resale market, their price has dropped to 0 Stars.
Some developers are also buying up gifts with the same backdrop color.
I’m not going to guess what this is about, and I don’t recommend you do either. We’ll see what it leads to later!!!
UPD: At around 15:05 (UTC), the «Owner» field was restored.

Based on everything happening on the test server this is likely «Gift Crafting».
From what we’re seeing, they take four different «Cake» NFT gifts, each with different rarity percentages for the model, symbol, and backdrop. If among those four there’s a gift with a low rarity percentage for the symbol, that symbol carries over to the crafted gift. If there’s a gift with a low rarity percentage for the backdrop, that backdrop carries over as well. What happens to the model is still unclear.
The gifts used for crafting will only be accessible via direct links, won’t have an «Owner» field, and you’ll likely be the only one who can see them in profile — though that’s not confirmed.
I'm watching this closely. These conclusions are preliminary, and we’re waiting for updates.

four different «Cake» NFT gifts
Note that it requires four NFT gifts, not three (thanks to madrik).
Crafting with three gifts only happened once.
And don’t forget — this is still a test.
