Gem Wallet is happy to announce WalletConnect support on TON, effective August 17, 2026 with version 2.114.4. Our users now reach the whole TON ecosystem - DEXes, liquid staking, perpetuals, NFT marketplaces - straight from the wallet they already carry.
What Is TON?
TON, or The Open Network, is a Layer 1 blockchain built for Telegram and its audience of more than 1 billion users as of August 2026. That scale pays off in practice: transfers confirm in seconds and a transaction costs a fraction of a cent, so even a two-dollar swap makes sense here. Toncoin was renamed to Gram in June 2026 after an 81% governance vote, with every existing address and recovery phrase still working; Gram now carries a market cap of around $3.76 billion. More than $800 million in stablecoins sits on the network, close to 79% of it USDT.
TON DApps You Can Use With Gem Wallet
WalletConnect added TON support on March 26, 2026, and the whole DeFi layer of the TON blockchain came with it: DEXes, liquid staking, perpetuals, plus NFT marketplaces like Getgems and Fragment, where Telegram Gifts and usernames change hands. These are the TON DApps Gem Wallet users can connect to today:
- DeDust: Swap Gram, USDT, and other Jettons like NOT and DOGS on one of the two largest AMM DEXes on TON, or add liquidity to a pool and earn a share of the trading fees.
- STON.fi: Trade the major TON pairs on the largest DEX by total value locked - the deepest liquidity on the network, so large orders move the price less.
- Tonstakers: Stake Gram and receive tsTON in return, so your stake keeps earning while staying liquid and usable in other TON protocols.
- Storm Trade: Go long or short with leverage on BTC, ETH, Gram, and other markets - you confirm every position in Gem Wallet before it opens.
Any other TON DApp that shows a WalletConnect QR code works as well - the list keeps growing as the ecosystem adopts the standard.
How to Connect Gem Wallet to a TON DApp via WalletConnect
- Open the DApp in your browser (DeDust, for example) and tap “Connect wallet”
- Pick WalletConnect and find Gem Wallet in the wallet list, or scan the QR code
- Check the DApp name and website address on the confirmation screen
- Tap Confirm - the session is live, and your TON address and balances show up in the DApp right away
Benefits for Gem Wallet Users With TON WalletConnect
- Full Self-Custody: Gem Wallet keeps your private keys on your device - every TON transaction is signed locally, and no DApp ever touches your keys.
- Fully Open-Source: Gem Wallet’s code is 100% public and was audited by CertiK in April 2026 - anyone can verify exactly how TON transactions are built and signed.
- Privacy by Default: Gem Wallet does not collect your data - connect to TON DApps with no email, no phone number, no ID.
- Expired Requests Are Rejected: Every TON request carries a validity window, and Gem Wallet checks it - a stale transaction from a tab you left open yesterday will not go through.
- Session Control in Two Taps: Open Settings → WalletConnect in Gem Wallet to see every active TON session and disconnect any DApp you no longer use.
- Built-in DEX Aggregator: TON DApps run on Gram, so swap USDT, ETH, BTC, or other assets for it right in the app through built-in DEX providers: STON.fi, THORChain, Uniswap, and more.
- Fiat On-Ramp Built In: Buy Gram with a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay in 170+ countries.
