🦌 Secret Santa is getting the sleigh ready

Only 5 days to go before the Secret Santa bag is closed — and it’s still filling up with Gifts from the kindest people and projects across the TON ecosystem. 6,300+ participants have added 9,700+ gifts worth 25,700+ TON — that’s roughly 1.5× more Gifts than participants 🎁

In case you missed the mechanics:
• Until December 30, 09:00 AM UTC you can add any off-chain gift.
• On the same day at 12:00 PM UTC, the bag will randomly distribute gifts among participants.
• There are more gifts than people — your chances of receiving more than one are still pretty good ⛸

Throughout December, we’ve been running a leaderboard highlighting those who make the holiday more generous. STON.Fi, Elephant, Mr. Freeman, Chainsim, NOT Wise, TON Punks, also dictatorcrypto, brainstormalphas and planet🪐 are already there 👼

Want to join as a project? Add 100+ Telegram Gifts to highlight your contribution across the leaderboard and our socials.

There’s still time to add a bit more luck to the bag — once it’s closed, that’s it 🧸

🤭 Last chance to become a Secret Santa! 🤭

Tomorrow, December 30 at 9:00 AM UTC, the Secret Santa bag will close 🎅

The numbers are still warming the hearts: there are almost 1.5x more Gifts than Santas. Over 9100 participants and 13,100+ Gifts worth 35,200+ TON in total.

Joining is still easy:

• Add any offchain gift you already own, upload from TG through @gemsrelayer or buy on the marketplace.

• On December 30 at 12:00 PM UTC, the gifts will be shuffled and randomly distributed among participants.

☝️Adding more than one Gift counts as a contribution to the community’s generosity — not as a strategy to receive extra gifts.

Projects, you can still jump on the last train too:

At the end of the year, people usually do one of two things: wish everyone happy holidays or try to remember what actually happened over the past twelve months. We decided to do both — here’s our #yearly_digest 🍪

⭐️ So, here’s how 2025 unfolded on Getgems:

❄️ The year started with a full focus on NFT Gifts. Trading in tokens, updated Getgems domains, and the first tNFTs with Lost Dogs. We also made a bold call and removed fees on Numbers and Usernames for a few months. Turns out, that's cool!

❄️ April 27 marked Getgems’ 3rd birthday, with the understanding that the project has seen a few market cycles already. In May we added comments and messages straight to NFT and collection pages, creating a feed for discussions, deals, and leaving permanent footprints.

❄️ At the same time TON DNS subdomains went live, custom backgrounds for Telegram Usernames appeared, and Telegram Collectibles got its own channel. We’ll skip the explanations — it simply felt right.

❄️ At the end of May, we became the first to remove all fees on Telegram Gift trading. It was supposed to last a month. Still 0%!

❄️ Summer brought tools for those who prefer building over fudding. A public API was released, and the Getgems Tech community was launched. Docs on GitHub, discussions inside. No instructions — just possibilities!

❄️ Fall arrived with Offers in Collections, the ability to buy Telegram Stars and Premium with TON, and a redesigned mini-app. The interface got simpler, trading faster, and unnecessary steps — unnecessary.

❄️ A bit later we experimented with fragmented NFTs: Green Heart Club and Sunset Pepe Club. Shared ownership, collective decisions, and closed communities. A debatable format — but definitely not a boring one!

❄️ In November TON Wallet rolled out a big update: NFT trading, sales history, public Collection views and NFT display in chats. The collector experience finally came together in one place.

❄️ Around the same time, we updated the Stickers section: rebuilt the Catalog, added marketplace filters and faster jumps to mini-apps. Minor things — but noticeably nicer.

❄️ We also made room for warm moments: Gift Fest, Secret Santa, challenges, and Gifts — all happened between releases and updates — reminding us that markets aren’t built by contracts alone.

So many features shipped in 2025 that we didn’t even manage to write about all of them. That doesn’t make them any less important!

2026 starts with a focus on clarity, comfort, and ecosystem growth. Staying true to ourselves, staying playful! Next year, we promise to keep the fun levels up, wishing you more highs and fewer lows.

Thank you for being with us.
Wishing you a wonderful New Year! 🤍
