Season 3 has entered its final stretch, putting the spotlight on a combined $500,000 in listed rewards, Points-based Boxes and auctions for rare Telegram digital collectibles.
Under the announced Season 3 structure, the 500 most active participants are eligible for guaranteed rewards from a $200,000 prize pool, with the top participant set to receive $50,000 in crypto.
Participants can also use accumulated Points to access Boxes containing crypto and Telegram Stars, with another $300,000 in rewards allocated to the Boxes.
With additional Points multipliers still expected before the season concludes, competition for the highest rankings is entering its decisive phase.
$200,000 Prize Pool for Top 500 Participants
The main Season 3 leaderboard includes a $200,000 reward pool.
According to the program details, the 500 most active participants will receive guaranteed rewards based on their performance during the season.
The largest individual reward is reserved for the leaderboard winner, who is set to receive $50,000 worth of cryptocurrency.
That creates a significant incentive for participants to continue accumulating Points during the final stage of the campaign.
With rankings still capable of changing, the remaining multipliers could become particularly important for users competing near the top of the leaderboard.
Another $300,000 Available Through Boxes
Leaderboard rewards aren't the only incentive.
Season 3 Points can also be exchanged for Boxes containing cryptocurrency and Telegram Stars.
The total value allocated to these Boxes is listed at $300,000.
Telegram Stars are Telegram's digital currency for purchasing digital goods and services across Mini Apps and other experiences within the Telegram ecosystem.
Their inclusion alongside crypto rewards further connects the campaign with Telegram's expanding digital economy.
Points Can Also Unlock Rare Collectibles
Participants have another option for using their Points.
Instead of exchanging them for Boxes, Points can be used to participate in auctions for rare digital collectibles.
The first highlighted auction lot is Durov's Cap, described by the campaign as a legendary collectible.
The auction mechanism gives Points another use beyond leaderboard positioning and reward Boxes.
It also reflects the growing role of digital collectibles within Telegram's ecosystem, where blockchain-based ownership and Telegram-native digital assets are becoming increasingly interconnected.
Telegram Collectibles Become a Bigger Ecosystem
Digital collectibles have become an increasingly visible component of Telegram and TON.
Telegram has expanded its digital economy through Stars, Gifts, Mini Apps and blockchain-connected assets.
TON provides blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting ownership, transfers and other onchain functionality associated with these digital products.
This creates an ecosystem where engagement inside Telegram can increasingly intersect with blockchain-based assets.
Season 3's collectible auctions build on that model by allowing participants to compete for scarce digital items using Points earned through the campaign.
More Points Multipliers Are Coming
Season 3 is not finished yet.
The campaign says additional multipliers remain ahead, providing participants with further opportunities to increase their Points before the season closes.
Multipliers can become especially important near the end of a leaderboard-based campaign because relatively small changes in Points can affect final rankings.
For participants targeting the top 500—or competing for higher leaderboard positions—the remaining campaign activities could therefore influence final reward distribution.
$500,000 Across Two Reward Pools
Taken together, Season 3 lists $500,000 in rewards across its two main reward mechanisms.
The structure consists of:
$200,000 allocated to guaranteed rewards for the 500 most active participants, including $50,000 in crypto for the winner.
$300,000 allocated to Boxes containing cryptocurrency and Telegram Stars.
Rare collectible auctions provide an additional use for Points alongside those monetary reward pools.
That gives participants several options depending on whether they prefer competing for leaderboard rewards, opening Boxes or bidding on collectibles.
Why It Matters for the TON Ecosystem
Campaigns built around Points, Telegram Stars, cryptocurrency and digital collectibles illustrate how Telegram's consumer platform can interact with TON's blockchain ecosystem.
Rather than requiring users to begin with conventional crypto trading, these experiences can introduce blockchain-linked assets through familiar Telegram interfaces.
That model is particularly relevant to TON's broader adoption strategy.
Telegram provides access to a massive global user base, while TON provides infrastructure for payments, digital assets, Mini Apps and other blockchain-based services.
Gamified campaigns can serve as another bridge between those two environments.
Final Stretch Begins
Season 3 is now moving toward its conclusion, but opportunities to earn additional Points remain.
With more multipliers expected, rankings could continue changing before rewards are finalized.
The biggest incentives remain the $200,000 leaderboard pool, the $300,000 allocated to Boxes, and auctions for rare digital collectibles including Durov's Cap.
Participants should review the campaign's official Terms and FAQ for eligibility requirements, regional restrictions, reward conditions and final distribution rules.
Bottom Line
Season 3 has entered its final phase with $500,000 in listed rewards still at the center of the campaign.
The 500 most active participants are set to share a $200,000 prize pool, while the leaderboard winner is positioned to receive $50,000 in crypto.
Another $300,000 in crypto and Telegram Stars is allocated to Points-based Boxes.
Participants can alternatively use their Points in auctions for rare digital collectibles, beginning with Durov's Cap.
With additional Points multipliers still ahead, the final stage could determine both leaderboard positions and how participants choose to use the Points they have accumulated.
