💎 Wallet Pay update: autoconversion feature
Wallet Pay has received an important update – the introduction of the autoconversion feature for all merchants on Telegram.
Autoconversion allows sellers to specify their preferred cryptocurrency for receiving payments, regardless of the cryptocurrency customers use for goods or services in Telegram.
Here's how it works
When creating a payment order, merchants can enable autoconversion, choosing from three supported cryptocurrencies: TON, USDT, or BTC. When customers pay for a product or service on Telegram, merchants will receive the cryptocurrency specified in the autoconversion parameters.
Do you have an example?
Certainly, imagine you sell virtual reality headsets and have enabled autoconversion to USDT. If a customer purchases the cutting-edge gadget with BTC, you'll receive payment in USDT instantly (Wallet Pay will automatically convert the crypto at the market rate).
For more details on autoconversion terms and to apply to connect Wallet Pay to your service, visit this link: https://pay.wallet.tg 👈
🙏 How to buy TON in Wallet?
There are several ways to do this. We'll explain each of them below, but please note that purchasing methods may vary by region:
● Bank card – This is the easiest way. Click “Add Crypto” below your total balance and choose “Bank Card” Then, specify the required amount and follow the app’s prompts.
● P2P Market – A platform to trade cryptocurrency directly between Telegram users. Select “Add Crypto” on the Wallet main screen to access the marketplace and tap “P2P Market.” Next, go to the “Buy” section and choose a suitable ad. Read the terms and conditions carefully, check the seller’s rating and number of transactions, and respond to the ad.
● Express purchase – An option to buy cryptocurrency without going to the P2P Market (available in certain regions). On the main screen, tap “Add Crypto” and choose “Express Purchase.” Next, specify the purchase amount and the desired payment method. The rest will be done automatically, Wallet will find the best offer and initiate the transaction itself. You will only need to make the payment and confirm it in the interface.
One last thing: If we get 500 🔔 reactions to this post, we’ll run a New Year giveaway before the end of the year!
💎 Wallet’s November #digest
Autumn has come and gone, so it's time to gather all the major updates of the past month. Here's a roundup of all the exciting developments:
● Gateway Conference. The historic TON's first in-person conference took place in Dubai. The Wallet team showcased significant updates, talked about the future integration of the Wallet for all Telegram users, and shared future plans.
● Token swaps in TON Space. Wallet users can now easily exchange tokens within their non-custodial space without leaving Telegram—all in just a few clicks.
● Telegram integration. Wallet is now accessible to all Telegram users in selected countries in Africa and Latin America. Global availability is anticipated by the end of the second quarter of 2024.
● TON Network Comment. When withdrawing TON from Wallet, users can now include a comment. This is important if you want to deposit TON on a centralized exchange.
TON Network is fully operational
Excellent news! Transactions on TON are taking place smoothly, with 2.5 million transactions having taken place on December 9.
🙏 All previously paused services have now resumed, including the purchase and withdrawal of TON. All TON deposits will be credited in due course.
A special shout-out to our incredible community for your unwavering support – we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Looking forward to the bright times that lie ahead for The Open Network!❤️
TON20 Inscription Use-case on TON
Starting on December 5th, The Open Network (TON) experienced an incredible spike in network activity, thanks to the BRC20 Bitcoin Ordinals type of inscription use-case, called TON20, launched by the Tonano team.
Producing over 2 million transactions increased our network usage by 61 times within just half an hour. TON Community is proud to witness a creative use case take-off in TON driven by independent participants in the ecosystem.
Moreover, this sudden growth has revealed many interesting insights for our blockchain. Dynamic sharding technology worked as expected. At its peak, TON split into eleven shardchains, stabilizing at five shardchains to handle the heavy load.
At the same time, this phenomenon also revealed where the community should work to swiftly onboard the exponential increase in network activity expected in the near future. Network validators must ensure that TON is supported by hardware capable of scaling to the performance demanded by high usage.
Network Performance Delays
This peak interest also came with a severe congestion of TON network, where validation was severely delayed even though the network validators are still producing blocks.
Popular wallets like @Wallet and Tonkeeper have paused the service temporarily.
TON core developers are aware of the issues affecting users and are working on TON blockchain. An initial technical report is available here. TON core team will be providing us with a further update within the next 24 hours.
We thank you and the community for your patience and unwavering support as we go through the growing pains together, preparing for the unprecedented growth season expected in the near future.
📱 How to swap tokens in TON Space
TON ecosystem tokens can now be exchanged directly within Telegram. These tokens are also called "jettons," and we've previously discussed their benefits. In case you missed it, familiarize yourself with this link. Today, we'll guide you on how to exchange one jetton for another within TON Space:
● Navigate to TON Space through your Wallet and select the "Exchange" button.
● Choose the pair for exchange – indicate which tokens you want to swap and the desired amount.
● In Settings below, you can select acceptable Slippage Tolerance, which is set to 0.1% by default.
“Slippage is the difference in the price of a token between the time it is sent and the confirmation of the transaction on the blockchain. This difference can occur due to market volatility or low liquidity of a trading pair.”
● After selecting "Review Order," review all details, then proceed to exchange by tapping "Confirm and Swap"
And there you have it! Your Wallet balance will update as soon as you close the swap window. Try to swap jettons in your TON Space now, and let us know your favorite jetton in the comments! 🙏
🔥 Wallet update: add a comment when sending Toncoin
Wallet has received an important update - now you can include a comment when withdrawing TON. A comment is usually required when sending the coin to centralized exchanges.
How do I add a comment?
You can add a comment on the transaction confirmation screen. Select TON in your Wallet, press "Send," and follow the app’s prompts.
A comment (tag or memo) is a unique user identifier on digital asset exchanges. It is required to transfer some cryptocurrencies.
Remember to include a comment when sending Toncoin to centralized exchanges. This way, your coins will not be lost. 🚀
❗️Wallet would like to remind you that our support team will never contact you first
Scammers are constantly looking for new ways to steal personal data and funds. To avoid falling for any tricks, it’s important to stay vigilant and keep in mind a few simple rules:
● Always block anyone who contacts you claiming to be the “Wallet Support Service.” The Wallet team will never DM you first.
● Wallet Support will never ask you to authorize your account. If you are ever asked to “confirm your identity” or “verify a transfer,” be aware that these individuals are likely scammers.
● Set up two-factor authentication in Telegram and never share your password with anyone – absolutely no one! And remember rule #1!
⚠️ Important: Wallet Support is only available at this link: /channel/wallet_supportbot
While Wallet has implemented various security measures, we strongly recommend not to neglect basic digital safety rules. This significantly reduces the likelihood of falling prey to a scam.
🗿 Introducing swaps in TON Space
Today, all TON Space users have access to the swap feature, allowing them to buy a wide range of assets within Telegram. Swaps are provided in partnership with Ston.fi, a leading TON-based DEX, with future plans to offer them through a DEX aggregation in 2024. All TON Space users now have access to the following features:
● Jetton swaps directly within the TON Space.
● View in-depth information on each transaction, including rates, slippage and price impact.
● Access to the full set of jettons available from STON.fi pools.
You can now easily swap Toncoin 👛 for jUSDT 💰 or any other TON blockchain jetton with just a few taps, all within Telegram.

👛 TON address update
Following the recent TON network update, there has been a change in the format of most network addresses. You may already have noticed that your TON address has been slightly modified: the first two characters and the final four have been updated. Here's an example:
Before: EQDYzZmfsrGzhObKJUw4gzdeIxEai3jAFbiGKGwxvxHinaPP
After: UQDYzZmfsrGzhObKJUw4gzdeIxEai3jAFbiGKGwxvxHinf4K
Do I need to take action?
No need to worry – Wallet has automatically updated your address for you. Thanks to backward compatibility, tokens sent to your old address will still find their way to your new address. However, for all future transfers, it’s a good practice to provide your updated address.
P.S. On 31 October, TON reached a remarkable milestone, successfully processing a record-breaking 104,715 transactions per second. Fantastic news for the entire TON Ecosystem! 🚀

TON Space: updated FAQ, and your questions answered
Since the launch of TON Space, the community has closely followed its evolution. We've previously discussed the difference between TON Space and Wallet, guided you on exchanging your jettons directly in Telegram and sharing your digital collections there. Now, let's talk about security.
How are the funds stored in TON Space? Is there any risk of unauthorized access? Where is your seed-phrase (private key) stored, and how does the backup function work?
We gathered and answered all your questions in our updated FAQ here. Now is a great time to take a look at and try TON Space for yourself—maybe even staking TON on Tonstakers.
⚠️ Important Reminder: Wallet support will never message you first. If you receive a message from someone claiming to be from Wallet and asking for:
● Verification
● Visiting a third-party site
● Confirming your identity
● Identifying yourself as part of the Wallet team
These are scammers! Block them right away.
The only official wallet support account is @wallet_supportbot
While Wallet has robust security measures, it's crucial to recognize basic security guidelines. Stay safe! 👮
While TON withdrawals are temporarily limited due to network congestion, all other Wallet functions work as usual. Trading on the P2P marketplace, token exchanges, and both USDT and BTC deposits and withdrawals continue to operate as expected. We are actively working to restore TON withdrawals and will provide updates here 💊
Читать полностью…Please note that due to the enormous on-chain activity, there is a temporary pause on TON withdrawals. We are closely collaborating with the TON Core team to restore full service as soon as possible.
Our USDT and BTC operations remain fully functional and unaffected. Your funds, including Toncoin, are safe and secure, as always.
We'll inform you all as soon as everything is back to normal and appreciate your understanding and patience 🫡

🙏 Jettons: What are they and what are they used for
In The Open Network Ecosystem, there are hundreds of different tokens. Unlike other blockchains, these tokens are called “jettons” in TON. Here we explain their advantages, how they differ from Toncoin, and where they can be most easily purchased:
● Toncoin is the main cryptocurrency of TON Blockchain.
● A jetton is a token issued on TON Blockchain.
● You can swap, store and send any jettons in TON Space.
● To perform any action with a jetton, such as making a transfer, you have to pay a small commission in Toncoin.
What are jettons used for?
Many services in TON Ecosystem have their own jettons. Typically, holding these jettons offers some advantages – for example, the PUNK jetton allows you to participate in closed tournaments, while the STON jetton gives you the right to receive exclusive digital Collectibles. Also, many jettons are used to store value and can be traded on various exchanges, like Ston.fi or DeDust.
How and where can I buy jettons?
The most convenient way to get some jettons is directly in Telegram. Wallet users can easily exchange jettons in TON Space. Just go into your non-custodial space, tap “Swap” and select the jettons you want! Wallet will automatically handle the rest of the exchange!💰
👛 Wallet continues it’s integration to the Telegram settings menu
In September, we announced plans to distribute Wallet to all Telegram users. Today, during The Gateway conference in Dubai, we're excited to announce that Wallet has now started its global rollout within the Telegram settings menu.
This is a big step towards our goal of making Web3 accessible to everyone. Telegram integration symbolizes our vision for mass adoption of products and services based on TON Blockchain and was previously confirmed by Telegram founder Pavel Durov.
The rollout will happen in stages. From today, Wallet will be available in the Telegram settings menu for users in some countries of Africa and Latin America. In Q1 2024, Wallet will expand to more regions, including MENA and Asia. By the end of Q2 2024, Wallet is expected to be accessible worldwide.
Wallet's integration into the Telegram's settings menu is a significant step toward making blockchain technology as user-friendly as possible. Telegram users in the selected regions will now have direct access to Wallet right within Telegram’s settings menu. That means, sending and storing crypto assets will be as simple as sending a picture within a chat. 🚀
