More than 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, allowing users to fund their wallets with crypto from the most popular blockchains. The integration, powered by MoonPay, manages cross-chain transfers behind the scenes, ensuring a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.
With this launch, more than 100 million users will be able to transfer their stablecoins from other chains to TON without friction or loss of value. TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum and Base – converted at a 1:1 ratio to USDT (TON) – directly into Wallet in Telegram. This eliminates the need to already hold TON native assets, opening up 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 for a fee and deposit BTC, ETH and SOL, which will automatically be 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 to 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 of 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-custody wallet has traditionally been a complex, multi-step process. Through its partnership 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 transactions, significantly streamlining onboarding into the TON Ecosystem – while maintaining value by minimizing unnecessary conversion losses and costs.
“One of the biggest challenges in cryptocurrency 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 completely. Users can transfer their funds directly from other networks to TON Wallet, 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 leaving the TON ecosystem as seamless as using a custodial wallet, while maintaining the freedom and control of self-determination.”
Powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure, the solution supports end-to-end flow from deposit detection to final asset delivery and is natively integrated into partner environments
“Users should not have to purchase new assets or go through complex steps 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 technical details behind the scenes, making it easier to move value through the ecosystem and access a wider range of applications.”
Financing a TON Wallet now takes just a few steps
- The Deposit section contains 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 automatically generated.
- The drop-off address can be copied or made accessible via a 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 data is verified, the transfer will be confirmed on the sending platform.
The funds flow into the user’s selected asset, fully compatible with the 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 configuration, and is fully integrated into the Telegram interface. By removing cross-chain complexity, Wallet in Telegram makes it easier for users to participate in DeFi, gaming, payments and on-chain apps – without the need for deep crypto expertise.
This launch marks a significant step toward making Telegram the most accessible Web3 gateway in the world, combining mass-market distribution with self-management and an open blockchain infrastructure.
