Quick answer

Shilling on Telegram means actively promoting a project — usually a crypto token, NFT or Web3 app — in channels, groups and Mini Apps. Effective, safe shilling uses paid sponsored posts and ad campaigns (for example Adsun Network and Native Ads), partnerships with relevant community channels and genuine community engagement. Disclose paid promotion and avoid spam, fake accounts or profit guarantees.

  • Shilling = promoting a project to Telegram communities, mostly in crypto and Web3.
  • Paid, labeled placements are safer than spamming groups.
  • Ad networks reach Mini App and bot users beyond crypto groups.
  • Never promise returns; follow local financial-promotion rules.
