🔎 Telegram appears to be preparing something involving animations.
A Telegram developer has resumed work on tlottie — the custom animation engine used to render Telegram stickers and emoji. After around 5 years of inactivity, the project is being actively updated again.
According to the published benchmarks, rendering performance is now 2–3× faster across 17,000 Telegram animations. The biggest improvements are seen with 64px animations — the exact size used for sticker panel previews and emoji in the keyboard.
This doesn’t confirm anything on its own, but it does suggest Telegram is optimizing for a level of animation usage that doesn’t exist today.
Could this be preparation for NFT Stickers or something closely related? Time will tell.
