Telegram Ads Targeting
The targeting taxonomy across Telegram's three official ad cabinets. EUR cabinet — language, channel/topic categories, list of specific channels (allow-list), language-only fallback. TON Ads — the same channel / topic / language targeting, billed in TON: you reach a crypto audience by picking crypto / DeFi / NFT channels (the platform does not read on-chain wallets or token holdings). Stars Promotions — App Center categories (gaming, social, finance, tools), mini-app DAU bands. None of the cabinets support per-user demographic targeting (age/gender/income) or wallet-level data — the privacy-first stance is baked into the platform. Topic + language is the dominant lever in the EUR cabinet for most B2C launches; the channel allow-list is preferred for niche B2B and crypto.
