Collectibles

"Collectibles” in TON Wallet

“Collectibles” is both the name of a section in TON Wallet, that displays all your NFTs, and the NFTs themselves stored at your wallet address. This section shows standard TON blockchain NFTs, Telegram collectible gifts, and other NFTs. 

What are NFTs and how are they different from jettons

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique blockchain assets that can be owned by only one person at a time. Two people cannot simultaneously own the same NFT. NFTs are typically used for collections, digital art, domain names, and other items that need to be unique.

Jettons are fungible tokens created on the TON blockchain. Multiple users can hold the same jettons in their TON Wallet accounts at the same time.

Toncoin itself is neither a jetton, nor a token — it’s a native cryptocurrency of the TON blockchain.

Which NFTs are displayed in the Collectibles section

The Collectibles section can display different types of NFTs:

  • Standard TON NFTs – regular NFTs created on the TON blockchain;
  • Telegram Gifts – digital NFT gifts:
    • On-chain Telegram gifts — on the TON network.
    • Off-chain Telegram gifts — created outside the TON network.
    • Telegram Collectible Gifts – have unique traits such as background color, pattern, and number;
  • NFT Stickers, Numbers, and Telegram Nicknames;
  • TON Domains – NFT domains with the .ton extension;
  • cNFTs (compressed NFTs) – “compressed” NFTs that are easier to create than standard NFTs but remain full NFTs;
  • SBTs (Soulbound Tokens) – non-transferable NFTs permanently linked to your wallet, usually used to prove participation, status, or completion of an action;
  • cSBTs (compressed Soulbound Tokens) – “compressed” non-transferable NFTs, permanently linked to your wallet like standard SBTs, but created more efficiently and occupying less data.

What you can do with NFTs in TON Wallet

In TON Wallet interface, you can:

Note: available features may vary depending on the type of NFT.

Where can I see my NFTs

Note: data about NFTs is sourced from the Getgems platform.

How to send an NFT to my TON Wallet

You can send an NFT to your TON Wallet from any TON blockchain wallet. 

To do this:

  1. Copy your TON Wallet address. You can do this in two ways:
    • Open TON Wallet → My Address in the main menu — the address will be copied automatically.
    • Open TON Wallet → Deposit → External Wallet → copy the address or scan the QR code.
  2. Make sure the transfer is done on the TON blockchain.
  3. Send the NFT to your wallet address.

Other users can also send NFTs to your TON Wallet address. 

Once the transaction is confirmed, the NFT will appear in the Collectibles section within a few minutes.

By tapping "Deposit" > "External Wallet" you can find your deposit address. Use this address to send Toncoin, Jettons, and TON-blockchain NFTs to your TON Wallet.

Why is my NFT not showing up in TON Wallet

If someone sent you an NFT, but it hasn’t appeared in your TON Wallet yet, don’t worry. Sometimes blockchain transactions take a little longer to process. Usually, NFTs show up in the wallet a few minutes after the transaction is confirmed.

What you can do:

  1. Wait a bit and refresh the NFT list in the Collectibles section.
  2. Check the receiving address: make sure the NFT was sent to the correct TON Wallet address. If you use multiple addresses, the NFT may have been sent to a different one.

To check your other wallet addresses:

  • Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of TON Wallet.
  • Go to Settings → Remove TON Wallet.
  • Before logging out, save your Recovery Phrase — otherwise, you may lose access to your current wallet.
  • After logging out, you will see a list of available wallets — select the one you need and log in again.
  1. Check via a blockchain explorer: if the NFT still doesn’t appear, you can verify that the transaction was completed by checking your wallet address in a blockchain explorer.

How can I send an NFT to another wallet

To transfer an NFT:

  1. Go to the Collectibles section in TON Wallet.
  2. Select the NFT you want to send and tap Transfer.
  3. Choose the sending method:
    • External Wallet — to send to a TON blockchain address.
    • Your Telegram contact — to send to another Telegram user.

Note:

  • NFTs can only be sent to other TON Wallet addresses or to external TON addresses. Custodial Crypto Wallet does not support NFTs, and if they are sent to Crypto Wallet, they will be lost.
  • SBTs, cSBTs and off-chain Telegram gifts cannot be sent to another wallet.

Fee for sending NFTs

When sending an NFT to another TON blockchain wallet, a network fee applies. You need to have at least 1.05 TON in your balance to cover the fee. Before confirming the transaction, you will be able to see the exact amount of the fee.

Every blockchain transaction requires a network fee for sending a transfer. All transfers in the TON blockchain pay a commission in TON, regardless of what is being transferred. For example, if you transfer a Notcoin voucher, you still need some TON to pay the network fee.

To ensure successful transfers of NFTs, you need at least 1.05 TON in your TON Wallet for the network fee.

If you don’t have enough TON in your balance, you can top up your TON Wallet in the following ways:

I received an NFT with a link to a third-party website, are such NFTs and websites legit
