Telegram founder Pavel Durov said the goal of the Affiliate Platform, launched this month, is to allow users and channels to earn Stars by inviting users to join the Mini Program. In just 12 days, 15,000 affiliate programs were created and 4 million users were referred to the Mini Program.
The Affiliate Platform allows channel owners to earn income and supports Mini Program developers in acquiring new users. Unlike similar systems, Telegram's Affiliate Platform is transparent and guarantees an immediate commission every time a referred user makes a transaction in the Mini Program. Anyone can start or join an affiliate program on Telegram.
