To acquire Toncoin, also known as TON, the primary cryptocurrency on the TON blockchain, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open @wallet on Telegram. No need to create a wallet—it’s already linked to your account. Click the ‘Open Wallet’ or ‘Wallet’ button next to the text input line.
Step 2: Within the opened window, select ‘Add Crypto.’
Step 3: Choose your preferred method for purchasing tokens, such as ‘Bank Card’ or ‘Express Purchase.’ Click the corresponding button.
Step 4: Select ‘Toncoin’ and proceed by clicking ‘Continue.’
Step 5: Choose the currency and specify the amount you wish to buy Toncoin for.
Step 6: After selecting the payment method, the service will locate a seller for you. Complete the transaction by sending the required amount to the specified bank account. In return, the specified amount of Toncoin will be credited to your @wallet.
Next, transfer the purchased TON to your non-custodial wallet:
Step 7: Open @wallet again and choose ‘Send.’
Step 8: Click ‘External wallet’ and select Toncoin.
Step 9: Input your wallet’s address.
Step 10: Specify the amount of TON to send and click ‘Send.’ Remember, transaction fees are paid in TON, so ensure you retain enough tokens in your wallet.
Where to find your wallet address
Where to find the wallet address? Right on the main page of your wallet! This set of characters, starting with EQ or UQ (special markings for wallets on the TON blockchain), is your wallet address. You can copy it with a simple tap on the screen.
Congratulations! You now have TON in your own non-custodial wallet. Proceed confidently with your first cryptocurrency transactions. Remember to keep a minimum amount of TON in your wallet, as it’s necessary to pay for fees during exchanges and other operations, regardless of your primary holdings.
