Durov's Cap: price history, sales and top models

Updated 12 November 2026 · 3 min read

Durov's Cap is one of the oldest traded Telegram gifts and the third largest collection by all time volume. As of November 2026 it has 19,489 recorded sales worth 10.9M TON. This guide covers its price history month by month, the record sales, its 55 models and how to check the current floor.

Durov's Cap at a glance

The cap is named after Pavel Durov, Telegram's founder. Its sales appear from the very first day of our records, 24 January 2025, which makes it one of the earliest gifts to trade on the secondary market. The upgrading guide explains how a regular gift becomes a collectible with a model, backdrop and symbol.

Only Plush Pepe (38.5M TON) and Resistance Dog (18.0M TON) have traded more. Resistance Dog passed the cap in October 2026, within a month of its first resale.

Figures as of November 2026.

Durov's Cap price by month

The median sale is the middle price of each month. A few caps sell for under 1 TON in some months, and these outliers barely move the median.

The cap started near 80 TON and stayed under 100 TON until April 2025. June 2025 was the breakout: 2,161 sales, 1.45M TON, and a median of 690 TON, up from 215 TON in May. The median peaked at 859 TON in October 2025, and January 2026 brought the second largest month by volume at 1.30M TON.

Since then the price has halved and the number of sales has grown. From July 2026 the cap has traded 1,600 to 2,000 times a month at a median close to 400 TON, which is roughly three times the monthly count of early 2026. A cheaper cap has found more buyers.

Medians rounded to the nearest TON. Figures as of November 2026.

Record Durov's Cap sales

The most expensive cap we have recorded is #4598 with the Artwork model, sold for 22,222 TON on 26 December 2025.

Two caps sold for exactly 15,128 TON on the same day in June 2026. Serial #1458 (Duck Tales) is unusual: it changed hands several times on 24 January 2026, each time at about 9,600 TON. Repeated sales like that inflate volume without telling you much about demand, so check the sale history of a serial before reading too much into a month's total.

Top Durov's Cap models

All 55 cap models have the same 2% rarity, so no model is rarer than another on paper. Even so, two of them clearly lead: Duck Tales and Bordeaux each have about twice the volume of any other model.

Duck Tales has the highest median of the ten at 500 TON. The others sit between 404 and 424 TON, which is close to the collection median. For a model that has the same rarity as the rest, the premium comes from demand for the look, not scarcity. The heatmap shows today's floor by model, and backdrops lists which backdrop colors carry a premium.
