Navigating the world of cryptocurrency can feel overwhelming, but with the right tools, it becomes simple and intuitive. One such tool is Wallet, a built-in mini app within Telegram designed to make crypto transactions fast, secure, and user-friendly. Whether you're new to digital assets or looking for a seamless way to manage your holdings, Wallet offers a streamlined experience right from your messaging app.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know about getting started with Wallet — from setup and usage to understanding key features and limitations.
What Is Wallet?
Wallet is a cryptocurrency management solution integrated directly into Telegram. It allows users to buy, sell, exchange, send, receive, and store supported digital assets such as TON, USDT, XAUT, NOT, DOGS, HMSTR, X, and CATI.
As a custodial wallet service, Wallet securely manages your private keys on your behalf. This enhances security and enables advanced functionalities like instant peer-to-peer transfers within Telegram, fee-free internal transactions, and easy fiat on-ramps via bank card or P2P trading.

How to Create a Wallet Account
Getting started is straightforward:
- Open the Wallet mini app in Telegram.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete identity verification (KYC process).
- Once verified, your account is automatically created.
Upon registration, Wallet generates unique blockchain addresses for each supported cryptocurrency. These addresses are generated only once and cannot be regenerated or changed.
To deposit funds from an external wallet:
- Go to Add Crypto > External Wallet
- Select the desired network (e.g., TON, TRON)
- Copy your generated address or scan the QR code
All incoming deposits will reflect in your balance after network confirmation.
Can I Generate a New Wallet Address?
No. After initial setup, you cannot generate a new blockchain address for any cryptocurrency within Wallet. The addresses are permanent and tied to your account for security and traceability purposes.
If you require multiple addresses or full control over private keys, consider using a non-custodial solution like TON Space.
I Already Have Another Wallet — Can I Link It?
Wallet does not support linking external wallets or importing third-party blockchain addresses due to its custodial nature. Your assets are managed securely within the Wallet environment.
However, if you have a non-custodial TON wallet created through TON Space, you can use it independently and interact with various Web3 applications across the TON ecosystem.
For more details on managing non-custodial wallets, visit the TON Space documentation.
Wallet vs. TON Space: Key Differences
| Feature | Wallet | TON Space |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Custodial (keys managed by service) | Non-custodial (user controls keys) |
| Control | High security with managed access | Full user control via seed phrase |
| Transactions | Off-chain (free & instant) between users; on-chain for external sends | Always on-chain, irreversible |
| Fees | No fees for internal transfers | Network fees apply for all actions |
| Supported Assets | Select tokens: TON, USDT, NOT, DOGS, etc. | All Jettons and NFTs on TON blockchain |
| DApp Access | Limited | Full access to decentralized apps |
While both services coexist in Telegram, they are operated independently. Wallet focuses on ease of use and accessibility; TON Space caters to advanced users seeking decentralization and full asset control.
Changing Language and Local Currency
You can personalize your experience:

Viewing Balance and Transaction History
Your dashboard provides full visibility:
- Balance: Shown at the top of the main screen; tap individual assets for detailed info
- Transaction History: Located at the bottom of the screen — includes all incoming, outgoing, and exchanged transactions
All records are updated in real time.
Why Some Transactions Don’t Appear on Blockchain
Internal transfers between Wallet users occur off-chain, meaning they are processed within the Wallet system rather than being broadcast to the public blockchain. This allows for:
- Instant delivery
- Zero transaction fees
Only external withdrawals (to outside wallets) are recorded on-chain and incur standard network fees.
Does Wallet Support NFTs or Other Tokens?
Currently, Wallet does not support NFTs or most Jettons. Only specific tokens like TON, USDT, XAUT, NOT, DOGS, HMSTR, X, and CATI are supported.
Sending unsupported tokens may result in permanent loss. For broader token and NFT support, use TON Space or other compatible non-custodial wallets.
