MRKT
Marketplace for upgraded Telegram Gifts with a focus on modern UX and granular attribute filters. One of the fastest-growing challengers to Portals and Tonnel.
Aliases: mrkt app, mrkt.app, @mrkt
MRKT (t.me/mrkt) is a relatively young Telegram Gifts marketplace built around modern UX, granular attribute filters and fast search. Versus the «historical» Portals and Tonnel it positions itself as the next-generation gift venue.
What sets MRKT apart
- Advanced filters. You can search not just by «collection X» but by «collection X, model = Gold, backdrop ≤ 1%, sort by price ascending». For grail hunters this saves real time.
- Modern UI. Smooth animations, dense card grids, attribute previews — the interface is closer to classic NFT marketplaces than to first-wave Telegram bots.
- Mini-app + bot. Opens as a Telegram mini-app, wallet connection via TON Connect.
- Referral programme. MRKT pays out a referral share, which gives traders and content channels a real reason to push the venue.
When MRKT is the right pick
- Grail hunting. If the task is to find a specific rare attribute combo, MRKT filters often save minutes compared to scrolling pages on Portals.
- Aesthetics and UX. For people who trade rarely and want a pleasant interface rather than bot menus.
- Cross-checking Portals/Tonnel. Before a sizeable buy, check whether the same lot is cheaper on MRKT — especially on niche collections.
Limitations
- Youth. Less history means less community trust than Portals. That doesn’t make the venue «bad», but it adds questions on fee stability and listing policy.
- Top-collection liquidity. On Plush Pepe or Heart Locket, Portals usually quotes tighter spreads. MRKT compensates with depth on the long tail through better filtering.
- Clone bots. As with every Telegram marketplace, fake MRKT bots are a constant threat. Verify the brand through ton.app before connecting a wallet.
How to start
- Open MRKT (
@mrkt). - Connect a TON wallet via TON Connect.
- Use collection and attribute filters — this is MRKT’s main competitive edge.
- Compare the price against Portals and Tonnel before executing — grail arbitrage sometimes covers a retail trader’s daily earnings.
In its current form MRKT is the third-by-volume gift trading venue, but its filters make it the «second tab» in many traders’ browsers: execution on Portals, price reconnaissance on MRKT.
