TON Earn
TON Earn is a staking campaign by Tonstakers, available directly in the TON Wallet interface. Learn more about TON Earn benefits here.
What is Staking
Staking means maintaining the work of a blockchain through the stake of your cryptocurrency on a wallet or special platform and subsequent reception of rewards.
Unlike mining, staking does not require special equipment; you only need to deposit the native cryptocurrency to start receiving rewards.
What is Liquid Staking, and what’s its difference from Traditional Staking
Traditional staking involves locking up jettons to secure blockchain operations. Liquid Staking allows you to get the rewards without needing to lock your crypto assets directly. Unlike traditional staking, with Liquid Staking, you can continue using received jettons in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects. Such kind of staking also increases flexibility in blockchain operations by issuing new jettons against staked TON.
Tonstakers created an article about Liquid Staking, you can read it here.
How can I stake TON via Liquid Staking
You can do it with the help of TON Earn with Tonstakers.
Tonstakers is a liquid staking provider that allows to stake TON and receive rewards, without needing the large amount of TON to run your own validator node.
Staking TON in TON Earn with Tonstakers gives a tsTON jetton, which represents your stake. This jetton can be used across DeFi even while your cryptocurrency is staked.
More on Tonstakers can be found on their website.
What are the benefits of TON Earn
TON Earn staking with Tonstakers allows to:
- gain an APY on staked TON;
- generate tsTON jettons for more flexibility on the blockchain operations. By providing tsTON jettons as liquidity, you can earn additional income;
- stake with as low as 1 TON.
- use decentralized staking platform, meaning Tonstakers does not have any access to the deposited assets.
What is APY
APY (Annual Percentage Yield) refers to the annual rate of return expressed as a percentage. It represents the annual profit you can expect to earn by participating in TON Earn.
You will be able to see the approximate reward you could receive in 3-12 months when entering the amount you wish to deposit.
APY is not constant and can change over time for several reasons, including the performance of the network and its validators, as well as changes in liquid staking terms. Also, APY is calculated in jettons, so the resulting earnings in fiat equivalent might be different because of jetton price fluctuations.
What is tsTON, and what can I do with it
tsTON is the jetton of the Tonstakers Liquid Staking Protocol. tsTON can be used like any other Jetton. It can be held, swapped, used within DeFi applications, or sent to other TON blockchain addresses.
In the process of Liquid Staking in TON Earn with Tonstakers, you stake TON in the blockchain. For each TON staked you receive a tsTON jetton. The amount of tsTON may be less than the staken TON due to the difference in value. You can use your tsTON jettons on other DeFi applications or swap them back to TON any time, and receive the TON you initially staked + reward amount.
What is the value of tsTON compared to standard TON
1 tsTON will be worth more than 1 TON because its value includes all TON staked plus all rewards accumulated in the pool. Thus tsTON will only get more valuable over time. When tsTON is unstaked, swapped later, or otherwise sold, more TON will be received than initially staked.
How can I deposit TON? Can it be withdrawn later
To deposit TON:
- Open TON Wallet and go to TON Earn in the "Earn" tab.
- Tap ‘Deposit’.
- Enter the amount of TON you want to deposit.
- Confirm the transaction.
The process only takes a few minutes — after that, your tokens will start earning rewards.
TON Earn staking services are provided by third-party partners, and it’s important to read their terms and assess the risks before proceeding.
How to withdraw TON?
To request withdrawal, go to the "Earn" tab and open "TON Earn":
- Tap ‘Withdraw’.
- Enter the amount you want to withdraw.
- Confirm the transaction.
After withdrawal, your funds and any rewards will be credited to your non-custodial TON Wallet based on the terms set by the third-party staking provider.
How can I see rewards in TON Earn
TON Earn staking in TON Wallet is provided by the third-party service Tonstakers, which is fully responsible for how rewards are calculated and distributed.
Tonstakers uses a liquid staking model, where earnings are reflected in the value of the tsTON token you receive when you stake.
Over time, 1 tsTON becomes worth more than 1 TON, since the value includes accumulated rewards.
You won’t see rewards as separate transactions — the result becomes visible when you unstake: you’ll receive more TON than you originally deposited.
If you hold tsTON, it means your assets are actively staked and rewards are accumulating inside the token.
Staking terms and mechanics in TON Earn are determined by Tonstakers. We recommend reviewing their policy and conditions before using the service.
How long does it take to deposit or withdraw
Depositing funds in TON Earn is instant.
Withdrawals can be:
- Instant — TON from the available liquidity will be immediately credited to your balance. Note that instant withdrawal may be unavailable if the pool lacks sufficient liquidity.
- Best Rate — your tsTON are burned, and you receive an NFT receipt confirming the start of the unfreeze process. The withdrawal takes up to 18 hours, after which the TON will be automatically credited to your wallet.
TON Earn staking features in TON Wallet are powered by the third-party service Tonstakers, which defines all conditions, options, and timeframes for operations. Thus, processing times and staking rules may vary depending on Tonstakers' policies.
Is there any minimum or maximum amount required to deposit
At least 1 TON is required to deposit. You will also need to pay the blockchain fee, it can be anything between 0.02 – 1.4 TON.
So be ready to prepare at least 2.4 TON: 1 TON for the minimum deposit amount, and the rest for the network fees.
There is no maximum amount that you can deposit.
Is there any minimum amount required to withdraw
You need to have at least 1.4 TON on your TON Wallet balance to be able to withdraw. The commission may vary from 0.02 to 1.4 TON.
After the withdrawal transaction is confirmed, the rest of funds, deducting the fee, will be returned to your wallet.
Should I pay fees to participate in TON Earn
You only cover the TON blockchain network fees for deposit and withdrawal transactions.
Are there any risks related to participating in TON Earn
Tonstakers uses open-source smart contracts, which underwent a comprehensive security audit by CertiK, a leading Web3-security platform. Tonstakers does not have access to your crypto even after you connect your wallet due to it being a non-custodial service.
Though before participating in any activities connected to crypto, we encourage you do your own research and due diligence on the possible risks of the services you wish to use. Please read the information on the possible risks on the Tonstakers’ website.
