Content owner: Adsun Editorial & Ad Operations Team · Last verified: 2026-10-18

Quick answer

To advertise a crypto or Web3 project on Telegram, combine community growth (task ads that reward users for joining your channel or group), sponsored posts in crypto channels, and ads in Telegram Mini Apps and bots where crypto-native users already spend time. Adsun lets you run all three from one account with USDT payments, country and language targeting and CPM or CPC bidding. Avoid misleading return promises, follow local rules and measure cost per real, active community member.

Key takeaways

Telegram is the home of most crypto communities.
Task ads and channel posts grow communities; Mini App ads drive app users.
Pay in USDT and bid on CPC to control cost.
No guaranteed-profit claims — they fail moderation and break laws.

Channels to use

Native channel posts in crypto, trading and Web3 channels.
Mini App placements (games, wallets, tap-to-earn apps).
Sponsored bot messages in utility and crypto bots.
Task ads: join channel, start bot, open Mini App.
KOL partnerships and AMAs.

Worked example

Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data

An advertiser spends $150 over 7 days on a CPC campaign. The ads get 120,000 impressions and 1,800 clicks (CTR = 1,800 ÷ 120,000 = 1.5%; CPC = 150 ÷ 1,800 ≈ $0.083). 540 users start the bot or join the channel (conversion = 30%), so cost per user = 150 ÷ 540 ≈ $0.28. 7 days later 380 are still active: cost per retained user = 150 ÷ 380 ≈ $0.39. Use your own numbers from the Adsun dashboard.

Adsun measurement methodology

Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
