Telegram Mini App — Mining

Telegram Mini App concept · Rewards & referrals

A retention loop that does not depend on paid acquisition: a timer brings the user back, the referral system turns each user into a channel, and the shop gives the engaged ones something to buy.

Context

A product that runs inside Telegram rather than as a standalone app: users open it in a chat, collect on a timer, invite friends and can upgrade a paid package.

The business problem

Getting someone to install an app is the most expensive step a consumer product has. A Telegram Mini App removes it — but removing friction is not the same as earning attention. Without a reason to come back and a reason to invite, a Mini App is just a page.

The solution

A retention loop that does not depend on paid acquisition: a timer brings the user back, the referral system turns each user into a channel, and the shop gives the engaged ones something to buy.

How it works

  1. 1Open the Mini App in Telegram
  2. 2Connect a wallet
  3. 3Collect on the timer
  4. 4Invite friends for a share
  5. 5Top up
  6. 6Buy a faster package
  7. 7Withdraw

What was delivered

  • A Telegram Mini App shell with bottom navigation across finance, mining, referrals and shop
  • A collection timer with an explicit claim action and the amount collected
  • A finance area for topping up and withdrawing to a wallet, with a stated minimum
  • A referral system paying a share of invited users' top-ups and activity
  • An invited-friends list showing each friend's reward
  • A shop of six upgrade packages that increase the collection rate
  • Wallet connection state surfaced on every screen

What exists today

  • The full loop is designed — collect, invite, top up, upgrade, withdraw — and shown below
  • Wallet connection, minimums and empty states are handled explicitly rather than assumed
  • Product concept: interface and product mechanics, not a released Mini App
Outcome

A complete retention loop specified for a product that needs no install: a return timer with a claim action, a finance area for top-up and withdrawal, a referral system that pays out on invited users' activity, and an upgrade shop. The concept defines the mechanics that make a Telegram Mini App grow through its own users rather than paid acquisition.
