A received gift may be upgraded to a collectible gift.
Collectible gifts have special attributes and can be transferred to other users or auctioned on NFT marketplaces.
When you upgrade a gift it unlocks a new appearance from dozens of custom variations made by Telegram artists. Collectibles also receive a random set of secondary attributes, including a background color, icon and number. This means every collectible gift is a unique work of art — and that some will be more rare than others.
