TON is a blockchain ecosystem created from the ground up to make digital life easier. If you’re an NFT artist or a collector, TON is the deal tool for you thanks to its high performance and low transaction fees. And it’s eco-friendly. Go team trees!
It was originally founded by the Durov brothers, the founders of Telegram Messenger. Nowadays, TON is governed and being developed by the TON Foundation, an independent community of crypto enthusiasts.
TON has its own cryptocurrency. It’s called Toncoin.
Crypto wallets play the same role as regular wallets where you keep cards and cash. But in a crypto wallet, you can store your NFTs and Toncoin and use it to send and receive TON.
Also, wallets are used to work with projects on the blockchain — e.g., Getgems. Basically, you need a wallet to log in to the platform to mint, sell, and buy NFTs. Don’t worry, we don’t have access to your funds.
There are a number of wallets on TON. We recommend trying Tonkeeper or Tonhub.
You can buy Toncoin with a credit or debit card in the Tonkeeper app via the Mercuryo or NeoCrypto services.
