VeVe launches Stickerverse on Telegram for 1 billion users
In brief
- VeVe launched Stickerverse on Telegram June 4 as a TON-blockchain NFT sticker platform
- First VeVenaut collection drops June 6 with 1,969 editions across three rarity tiers
- Users collect and trade stickers inside Telegram without paying gas fees
- VeVe brings 8 years of experience, 3 million users, 200+ IP partnerships including Marvel and Disney
Bringing NFTs to the mainstream chat
The digital collectibles platform is betting that NFT stickers inside Telegram chats, powered by the TON blockchain, can onboard millions who have never touched a wallet. Users can buy, collect, trade, and mint NFT stickers without ever leaving the messaging app, accessed through a Telegram bot at @veve_Stickerverse_bot.
VeVe itself brings more than 8 years of experience in digital collectibles, a user base of 3 million people, and over 10 million digital comics and collectibles sold. Its brand partnerships span more than 200 intellectual properties, including Marvel, Disney, and Star Wars. The company is operated by Orbis Technology Limited under the leadership of Jacob Elmon.
Launch mechanics and first collection
The first collection, called VeVenaut, goes live on June 6 at 10:00 AM PT with 1,969 editions spread across three rarity tiers. The platform introduces pack mechanics, an XP and leaderboard system for community progression, and a planned Forge mechanism that will let users burn collectibles to create scarcity.
Stickerverse supports both off-chain and on-chain functionality, keeping the experience frictionless while maintaining blockchain verification. This hybrid approach mirrors Telegram's existing appetite for NFT stickers, which has already sold over 450,000 NFT stickers and generated more than $10.7 million in primary sales.
Timing and TON ecosystem
VeVe is entering beta, meaning the product is still being refined. The launch aligns with TON's rapid growth — the blockchain already has over 50 million monthly active wallets. VeVe unveiled the Stickerverse platform during NFC Lisbon, signaling the company's push to merge collectibles with mainstream messaging infrastructure.
