[PRESS RELEASE – Ile Du Port, Seychelles, February 11th, 2026]

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, enabling users to fund their wallets with crypto from the leading blockchains. Powered by MoonPay, the integration manages cross-chain transfers behind the scenes, ensuring a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.

With this launch, over 100 million users can transfer their stablecoins from various chains to TON without friction or value loss. TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base – converted at a 1:1 rate to USDT (TON) – directly in Wallet in Telegram. This eliminates the need to possess TON-native assets, expanding access to users across the crypto landscape. Additionally, users will soon have the capability to withdraw USDT on TON to USDT or USDC on major blockchains, alongside the ability to deposit BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically transformed into Toncoin.

This Launch Introduces the Following Features

1. Stablecoin deposits from major blockchains, allowing users to deposit USDC or USDT with automatic 1:1 conversion to USDT (TON).
2. Stablecoin withdrawals from USDT (TON) to USDT or USDC on other major blockchains, processed at a 1:1 rate, subject to network and service fees. This feature will be available shortly.
3. Crypto deposits from BTC, ETH, and SOL that will be converted into Toncoin upon arrival in TON Wallet.

Removing Barriers to Web3 Adoption on Telegram

Funding a self-custodial wallet has typically 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. Consequently, cross-chain transfers have been simplified to the same ease as custodial ones, significantly improving onboarding into the TON Ecosystem while preserving value by minimizing unnecessary conversion losses and fees.

“One of the most significant hurdles in crypto adoption is the initial step – getting users funded and prepared to participate. Previously, using TON Wallet necessitated already possessing assets on TON, which created unnecessary friction and limited access to the broader ecosystem. We’re now eliminating that barrier completely. 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 straightforward: make entering and exiting the TON ecosystem as seamless as operating a custodial wallet while retaining the freedom and control of self-custody.”

Powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure, the solution facilitates the end-to-end process, from deposit detection to final asset delivery, and is integrated seamlessly into partner environments.

“Users should not have to purchase new assets or navigate complex steps just to fund an account,” commented Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay. “We simplify the process by allowing individuals to use the cryptocurrency they already have while we manage the technicalities behind the scenes, making it easier to transfer value across the ecosystem and access a wider array of applications.”

Funding a TON Wallet Takes Just a Few Steps

1. The Deposit section offers two options: Stablecoins (for 1:1 stablecoin deposits) and Other Crypto (for converting BTC, ETH, or SOL to TON).
2. After choosing the token and the originating network, a deposit address is generated automatically.
3. The deposit address can be copied or accessed via a QR code.
4. Users enter this address on the withdrawal page of the external wallet or exchange.
5. The transfer amount must meet the minimum deposit threshold.
6. Once the details are confirmed, the transfer is validated on the sending platform.

Funds arrive in the user’s chosen asset, fully compatible with the TON ecosystem and Telegram’s expanding network of decentralized applications.

Built for Scale, Native to Telegram

The new deposit experience is exclusive to the self-custodial TON Wallet, part of Wallet in Telegram’s dual-wallet initiative, and is completely integrated into the Telegram interface. By abstracting away cross-chain complexity, Wallet in Telegram eases user participation in DeFi, gaming, payments, and on-chain applications without the need for extensive crypto expertise.

This launch signifies a major advancement in making Telegram the most accessible Web3 entryway globally, merging mass-market availability with self-custody and open blockchain infrastructure.
