wzgram: The Fastest Telegram Library
wzgram is a modern, asynchronous MTProto framework for Python. It works with Telegram’s main API as a user account or as a bot. It is a drop-in replacement for Pyrogram, updated for the latest Telegram features and built for speed.
#1 on the Speed Benchmark
wzgram holds first place on tglib-bench, a public benchmark of Telegram client libraries. The test moves a 2 GB file over Telegram’s DC1.

Key Features
- Drop-in replacement:
from pyrogram import ...resolves to the same module, so existing Pyrogram code runs unchanged. - Up to date: supports Gifts, Stories, Topics, Business Accounts, Giveaways and the latest Telegram layer.
- Async native:
async/awaitthroughout, withapp.run()for simple scripts. - Type-hinted: every type and method is annotated for good editor support.
