How to Buy Crypto with Telegram Stars: Step-by-Step Guide
Buying crypto usually means an exchange, identity checks, transfers between wallets and figuring out networks. With Telegram Stars it is much shorter: you pay with Stars right inside Telegram, and a couple of seconds later the tokens are on your balance. This guide shows how it works with the AMA2 token and the NFTAMA game, how much you get for your Stars and what guarantees you have.
What Telegram Stars are
Telegram Stars are Telegram's own currency for paying in bots and mini apps. You buy them with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay: in advance (Settings → “My Stars” → “Buy”) or right in the payment window if you are short. You don't need a crypto wallet, an exchange or a seed phrase.
What you can buy with Stars
In the @nftama_bot Stars turn into AMA2 (Amatu) — a BNB Smart Chain token with a fixed supply of 141 million. It is the main currency of NFTAMA: you use it to buy NFT safes, level them up and mint new ones. The AMA2 you buy show up on your account balance and in the bot right away, and you can withdraw them to your own wallet whenever you like.
Step by step
- Create an NFTAMA account and confirm your e-mail. It takes a minute; without a confirmed e-mail top-ups are disabled — this protects both you and the payments.
- Connect the account to the bot. Open @nftama_bot, press Start → “🔗 Connect account” → “Connect”. The site opens and, after you sign in, sends you back to the bot. You do this once.
- Press “⭐ Top up AMA2” (or the
/topupcommand). The bot shows the packages and how many AMA2 each one gives. - Pick a package — 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 or 2500 Stars. The bot sends an invoice.
- Press “Pay”. If you are short of Stars, Telegram offers to buy more right in the payment window.
- A couple of seconds later the AMA2 are on your balance and the bot sends a receipt.
The rate: how much will I get
The rate follows the market price of AMA2 on PancakeSwap:
AMA2 = Stars × $0.013 ÷ AMA2 price
$0.013 is what one Star is worth on withdrawal. The project fee is currently zero. For example, with AMA2 at $0.004 the 100-Star package gives 100 × 0.013 ÷ 0.004 = 325 AMA2.
| Package | AMA2 at $0.004 |
|---|---|
| 50 ⭐ | ≈ 162 |
| 250 ⭐ | ≈ 812 |
| 1000 ⭐ | ≈ 3,250 |
| 2500 ⭐ | ≈ 8,125 |
The exact amount is shown in the bot before you pay and fixed in the invoice for 15 minutes: if the PancakeSwap price moves meanwhile, you still get exactly what the invoice says.
Guarantees and limits
- One payment, one credit. Even if Telegram delivers a payment twice, your AMA2 is never doubled.
- Automatic refund. If crediting fails, the Stars go back to your Telegram balance automatically.
- Limit: up to 10,000 Stars per player per day.
- An invoice lives 15 minutes. The bot rejects an old one — just pick the package again.
Why this supports the token price
For every AMA2 sold for Stars, the project buys back the same amount of AMA2 on PancakeSwap. Internal balances are backed by real tokens, and the purchases go to the market. The buyback runs in parts every 10 minutes, each moving the price by at most 2% — no sudden jumps.
What to do with AMA2 next
The obvious move is to grab your first safe on the showcase. A new safe appears several times a day; in its first minutes it is the heaviest and its weight is the cheapest. And your first showcase safe gets ×1.5 weight forever.
A safe's weight is your share of the game: every day AMA2 is distributed among safe owners in proportion to weight. The mechanics are explained in the beginner's guide.
Try it in 2 minutes, for free
- Sign up — login, e-mail and password; no documents, no wallet.
- Confirm your e-mail — and get a demo safe that starts earning AMA2 right away.
- Open the safe of luck — once an hour: keys, coupons, demo safes and a little AMA2.
When you want a real NFT safe: with AMA2 around $0.004, a showcase safe for 400–500 AMA2 costs roughly $2 — less than a cup of coffee. Your first safe gets ×1.5 weight forever.

FAQ
Do I need a crypto wallet?
No. AMA2 is credited to your internal account balance. You only need an external wallet to withdraw.
Can I top up without Telegram Stars?
Yes: USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) — the platform splits the amount into AMA2 for purchases and a little BNB for network fees — or BNB and AMA2 from an external wallet.
Where can I check the rate before buying?
In the bot: /price shows the AMA2 price and a 24-hour chart, and /stars explains how paying with Stars works.
