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. Users can now fund their wallets with crypto from the most popular blockchains.
The integration is powered by MoonPay. It handles cross-chain transfers behind the scenes. This gives users a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.
What the Launch Means for Users
With this launch, more than 100 million users can move their stablecoins from other chains to TON. There is no friction and no loss of value.
TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from these chains:
- Ethereum
- Solana
- TRON
- BSC
- Polygon
- Arbitrum
- Base
Deposits are converted at a 1:1 rate to USDT (TON), directly in Wallet in Telegram. Users no longer need to already hold TON-native assets. This opens the ecosystem to users across the wider crypto market.
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. They will also be able to deposit BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin.
This Launch Introduces the Following Functionality
- Stablecoin deposits from leading blockchains. Users can 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. These are processed at a 1:1 rate, subject to network and service fees. Will be available soon.
- Crypto deposits from BTC, ETH, and SOL. These are automatically converted into Toncoin when they arrive in TON Wallet.
Removing Barriers to Web3 Adoption on Telegram
Funding a self-custodial wallet has long been a complex, multi-step process. Wallet in Telegram now removes this friction through its work with MoonPay. It adds a single, smooth deposit flow that works across blockchains and assets.
As a result, cross-chain transfers are now as simple as custodial ones. This makes onboarding into TON Ecosystem much easier. It also keeps value by cutting needless 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.”
The solution is powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure. It supports the full flow, from deposit detection to final asset delivery. It is also built 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 has two options: Stablecoins (for 1:1 stablecoin deposits) and Other Crypto (for converting BTC, ETH, or SOL to TON).
- After the user picks the token and the source network, a deposit address is created automatically.
- The deposit address can be copied or opened 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.
- Once the details are checked, the transfer is confirmed on the sending platform.
Funds arrive in the user’s chosen asset. They are fully compatible with TON ecosystem and Telegram’s growing network of decentralized apps. New to wallets? Our guide on what a crypto wallet is covers the basics.

Wallet in Telegram hides the cross-chain complexity. This makes it easier for users to take part in DeFi, gaming, payments, and on-chain apps. They do not need deep crypto expertise.
This launch is a major step toward making Telegram the most accessible Web3 gateway in the world. It combines mass-market reach with self-custody and open blockchain infrastructure. For background on the dollar tokens involved, see our explainer on the GENIUS Act and US stablecoin rules.
