Sellers that name USDT without a network, such as Gramix and StarNinja, are left out. USDT is counted as 1 US dollar, and no price here includes a network fee.
What does Fragment accept for Stars?
Fragment takes stablecoins, and the “TON only” line still found on some pages is out of date. On 4 November 2026 Fragment’s buy pages listed GRAM on TON, USDT on Ethereum, TON, Polygon and Tron, and USDC on Ethereum, Base and Polygon. Aurelstar counted 8 payment rails on Fragment’s buy pages on 4 November 2026: 4 for USDT, 3 for USDC and 1 for GRAM.
Two seller pages said otherwise. TGBlue’s comparison table and StarNinja’s blog of 4 July 2026 both gave TON as Fragment’s only coin. Fragment’s own buy page settles the point. One gap remains in the other direction: Fragment lists USDC on Base, not USDT on Base, so a search for “USDT on Base” has no match on Fragment or at Aurelstar.
What the platform is and who runs it: What is Fragment on Telegram?.
How do you pay with USDT at Aurelstar?
The top-up is set to the price of the pack you start from, and the minimum top-up is $25. The full path of an order is in How does buying Telegram Stars with crypto work at Aurelstar?.
Pick a pack and type the @username
An order needs a public Telegram @username: 5 to 32 letters, digits or underscores. An order sent to the username you typed cannot be taken back, so check it before you pay.
Choose USDT and a network
Aurelstar takes USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20. The payment page shows the address and the amount for the network you pick.
Send the exact amount
Send the exact amount shown to the address on the payment page, then click “I’ve sent the payment”. It is matched by its exact amount and credited once it is confirmed on the blockchain.
Wait for the order
Your order is sent once the payment is confirmed on the blockchain, within 24 hours. If an order fails, its full amount goes back to your balance.
Can you pay from Binance or Bybit?
Yes, as an on-chain withdrawal to the address on the payment page: Aurelstar has no Binance Pay or Bybit Pay option. An exchange account works like any wallet here. Choose USDT, choose TRC-20 or ERC-20, and withdraw to that address.
A payment is matched by its exact amount, so the figure that counts is the one that arrives, not the one that leaves the exchange. Check how your exchange shows its withdrawal fee before you confirm.
GMPAPA was the seller that named Binance Pay and Bybit Pay on 4 November 2026, at $15.45 for 1,000 Stars. GRAM (Toncoin), Monero, Lightning, cards and PayPal are not accepted.
What does USDT cost on Fragment compared with a seller?
On 4 November 2026, 1,000 Stars cost $15.00 on Fragment and $15.75 at Aurelstar: the gap is the 5% of the price rule. A buyer who holds USDT can use Fragment directly at its list price, plus the network fee, by connecting a TON wallet. We do not claim to be the cheapest: some crypto sellers charged less on 4 November 2026. For 1,000 Stars, where our price is $15.75, split.tg showed $15.30, Gramix from $15.30 and GMPAPA $15.45.
Fragment’s page showed a network fee hint of $2.79 for USDT on Tron. The fees of its other rails were not read. A transfer to a seller carries a network fee too, and no price on this page includes one.
The two routes ask for different things:
- Fragment: a connected TON wallet, which its buy page requires before a purchase.
- Aurelstar: an account number we create for you, a public @username and a transfer from any wallet or exchange.
- Delivery: Telegram and Fragment publish no delivery time. Your order is sent once the payment is confirmed on the blockchain, within 24 hours.

Prices seller by seller are in What do crypto sellers charge for Telegram Stars in November 2026?, and every pack at Aurelstar is in How much do Telegram Stars and Premium cost at Aurelstar?.
