Over 100 million users can now fund their TON Wallet using crypto from the most popular blockchains – no additional bridges, swaps or manual conversions required.

Wallet in Telegram today announced the launch of cross-chain deposits in its self-custodial TON Wallet, enabling users to fund their wallets with crypto from the most popular blockchains. Powered by MoonPay, the integration manages cross-chain transfers behind the scenes, ensuring a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.

With this launch, more than 100 million users can transfer their stablecoins from other chains to TON without friction or losing value. TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base – converted at a 1:1 rate to USDT (TON) – directly in Wallet in Telegram. This removes the need to already hold TON-native assets, opening the ecosystem to users across the broader crypto landscape. As part of the integration, users will soon be able to withdraw USDT on TON to USDT or USDC on popular blockchains with a fee and deposit BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin.

This Launch Introduces the Following Functionality

Stablecoin deposits from leading blockchains, allowing users to deposit USDC or USDT with automatic 1:1 conversion into USDT (TON)
Stablecoin withdrawals from USDT (TON) to USDT or USDC on other major blockchains, processed at a 1:1 rate, subject to applicable network and service fees. Will be available soon.
Crypto deposits from BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin upon arrival in TON Wallet

Removing Barriers to Web3 Adoption on Telegram

Funding a self-custodial wallet has traditionally been a complex, multi-step process. Through its collaboration with MoonPay, Wallet in Telegram removes this friction by introducing a single, seamless deposit flow that works across blockchains and assets. As a result, cross-chain transfers are now as simple as custodial ones, significantly streamlining onboarding into TON Ecosystem – while preserving value by minimizing unnecessary conversion losses and fees.

“One of the biggest challenges in crypto adoption is the first step – getting users funded and ready to participate. Until now, using TON Wallet meant already having assets on TON, which created unnecessary friction and limited access to the broader ecosystem. Now, we’re removing that barrier entirely. Users can bring their funds directly into TON Wallet from other networks, without unnecessary conversions, exchanges or lock-ins,” said Andrew Rogozov, Founder and CEO of The Open Platform and Wallet in Telegram. “Our goal is simple: make entering, and exiting, TON ecosystem as seamless as using a custodial wallet, while preserving the freedom and control of self-custody.”

Powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure, the solution supports the end-to-end flow, from deposit detection to final asset delivery, and is integrated natively into partner environments

“Users shouldn’t have to buy new assets or navigate complex steps just to fund an account,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay. “We simplify the process by letting people use the crypto they already have while we handle the technicalities behind the scenes, making it easier to move value across the ecosystem and access a broader range of applications.”

Funding a TON Wallet now takes just a few steps

The Deposit section includes two options: Stablecoins (for 1:1 stablecoin deposits) and Other Crypto (for converting BTC, ETH, or SOL to TON).
After selecting the token and the originating network, a deposit address is generated automatically.
The deposit address can be copied or accessed via QR code.
This address is entered on the withdrawal page of the external wallet or exchange.
The transfer amount must meet the minimum deposit requirement.
Once the details are verified, the transfer is confirmed on the sending platform.

Funds arrive in the user’s selected asset, fully compatible with TON ecosystem and Telegram’s growing network of decentralized applications.

Built for Scale, Native to Telegram

The new deposit experience is available exclusively in the self-custodial TON Wallet, part of Wallet in Telegram’s dual-wallet setup, and is fully integrated into the Telegram interface. By abstracting away cross-chain complexity, Wallet in Telegram makes it easier for users to participate in DeFi, gaming, payments, and on-chain apps – without needing deep crypto expertise.

This launch marks a major step toward making Telegram the most accessible Web3 gateway in the world, combining mass-market distribution with self-custody and open blockchain infrastructure.
