Best TON wallets
To hold TON and create tokens on The Open Network you need a TON-compatible wallet. Here are the best options and how to set one up safely.
Which TON wallet should I use
- Tonkeeper — the most popular standalone TON wallet (mobile + browser extension). The best default.
- Telegram Wallet — built right into Telegram (@wallet); the easiest for beginners.
- MyTonWallet — a feature-rich browser extension and mobile app.
- Tonhub — another solid TON-native wallet.
How to set up a TON wallet
- Install the wallet from its official site or your browser's store (or open @wallet in Telegram).
- Create a new wallet and write down your recovery phrase offline — never store it online.
- Your TON address (it starts with UQ or EQ) is what you share to receive TON.
Get TON into your wallet
Buy TON on a major exchange and withdraw it to your address, or buy directly inside the Telegram Wallet. Keep a little for gas — see TON fees. Then you are ready to create a token.
Stay safe
Never enter your recovery phrase on any website — it is never required to connect a wallet or create a token. Only install wallets from official sources and double-check URLs. See avoiding scams.
What to look for in a TON wallet
The best TON wallet for you depends on what you are doing, but a few things matter for everyone. It must support TON, give you self-custody (you hold the keys, not a company), and let you connect to TON apps and DEXs. For larger holdings, a hardware wallet that keeps your keys offline is the gold standard. Above all, whatever TON wallet you choose, you must back up your seed phrase offline and never share it — that one habit prevents most crypto losses. For the full picture, see crypto wallets explained.
Your TON wallet is your key to creating a token
A TON wallet is not just for holding and trading — it is also what you use to create a token. Launching a token on TON is a transaction your wallet signs, and the token’s ownership is tied to your wallet address. With a non-custodial TON wallet set up, you can connect it to a no-code creator and create your own TON token in minutes, keeping full ownership the whole way.
No code, non-custodial, live in minutes. You keep full ownership.
