How many Stars do I need for withdrawal or swap fees

The cost in Stars depends on the current exchange rate in Toncoin (TON). Since Toncoin is a volatile asset, this can affect the network fee that you pay with Stars.

The exact number of Stars required for withdrawal or swap is displayed directly on the transaction page.

Why is my Stars balance different in Telegram and TON Space

Your Star balance in Telegram and in TON Space differ because they are separate balances. In order to pay fees in Stars in TON Space, you need to transfer Stars from your balance in Telegram to your balance in TON Space.

To do this, select an available package based on your balance of Stars in Telegram. For example, if you have 150 Stars in Telegram, you would be able to select the 100 Star package to transfer 100 of your Stars in Telegram to your TON Space.

After selecting a package, tap "Add", then "Pay and Confirm". The system will automatically transfer Stars from your Telegram balance to your TON Space balance.

If your Telegram balance contains fewer Stars than the respective package amounts offered in TON Space (100, 250, 500), you will not be able to transfer your Stars from your Telegram balance to your TON Space balance. For example, if you have only 50 Stars in your Telegram account, it is not possible to transfer them to TON Space.

Can I refund Stars from my TON Space to my Telegram account

You can return Stars from your TON Space balance to your Telegram balance by contacting our support team. However, this is only possible if the Stars from the package have not been spent.

Refunds are available for packages of 100, 200, or 500 Stars. If Stars from a purchase have already been used to pay a transaction fee, then the purchase cannot be refunded, as the transaction is already recorded on the blockchain.

Please note: is it not possible to cancel a purchase of Stars, nor it is possible to refund the purchase to your original payment method. According to Telegram’s policies, such purchases are final and non-refundable, regardless of the payment method.
