Discover Telegram's Wallet feature in this step-by-step guide. Learn how to set up, manage, and utilize your wallet for secure transactions within Telegram.
What Is Telegram Wallet?
The Telegram Wallet Bot is a custodial cryptocurrency wallet integrated into Telegram. It operates on the TON blockchain, enabling users to send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies directly in chats. Unlike non-custodial wallets (e.g., MetaMask), Telegram’s Wallet Bot manages assets on behalf of users, simplifying recovery but requiring trust in third-party security.
Key Features
- Zero transaction fees for TON transfers.
- Multi-cheques for distributing crypto to multiple users.
- P2P Market for trading at preferred rates.
- TON Space (Beta): A self-custodial option for advanced users.
