TON Connect and how to connect apps

What is TON Connect

TON Connect is a service allowing you to connect TON blockchain wallets to third-party bots, apps, or websites. This way, you’ll be able to perform fast transactions, as well as participate in promotions and receive rewards straight to the mentioned TON Space address.

Is it safe to authorize via TON Connect

The process of connecting an app does not give access to your wallet assets.

Below you can see an example of connecting Yescoin app to TON Space.

After connecting, an application may ask for your confirmation to complete a transaction. All transactions sent via apps require your personal confirmation in the wallet. This provides additional security — after all, you will always be able to check the validity of data prior to completing a transaction.

Below you can see an example of transaction signing in Catizen app.

Important: always check transactions prior to confirming them. Check the transaction amount and make sure that you know the recipient or service where you send cryptocurrency.

What are the benefits of TON Connect authorization

By connecting a TON Space wallet to other apps via TON Connect, you can:

  • Securely and conveniently connect your TON Space wallet;
  • Swiftly create and confirm transactions — no need to input address, sum, and other transfer details;
  • Participate in promotions within the TON ecosystem and receive rewards straight to your TON Space.

How to connect TON Space to an app

Tap on the corresponding button of wallet connection in the app. In the next window, confirm the connection by tapping on ‘Open Wallet in Telegram’.

If you did not create TON Space earlier, you will be able to do that in the process of connection. Make sure to save your 24-word secret phrase securely. Without it, you may lose access to the wallet you just created.

We also recommend that you turn on email recovery for fast login to TON Space. Read on how to do it here.

How to disconnect TON Space from an app / from several apps

To disconnect an app that you don’t need:

  • Go to Wallet settings and select TON Space;
  • After that, enter the “Connected Apps” section;
  • Tap on the icon for connection removal.

A tap on 'Disconnect all apps' will close all the connections of your TON Space wallet. If you need to reconnect to an app later, you can go to the app and connect your TON Space again.

I disconnected TON Space from an app, but I still see my wallet address when I open the app. What should I do

Check if you see the app in question in the ‘Connected Apps’ section in TON Space settings.

If you see its name, try to disconnect it from TON Space. Tap on the app name in ‘Connected Apps’, and then tap on ‘Disconnect’ to confirm the action.

If you do not see the app in your 'Connected Apps' section, but you see your TON Space address in the app, you will need to contact support of the app directly. Apps need to check whether connections are still valid. Even though the app is disconnected from your TON Space, the app may not be showing you the most recent information.

I connected an app to TON Space, but now I can’t confirm a transaction in the app. I see a blank screen or an error "No request received" after being redirected to TON Space

In this situation, the transaction cannot be created due to one of the following reasons:

  • TON Connect error;
  • Your current address in TON Space differs from the address linked earlier.

Follow the below instructions to find the cause of the problem.


1) Check if the current and linked TON Space addresses match.

It is possible that the linked address is different from your main TON Space address. This can happen in the following cases:

1. You logged in to TON Space from another device and created one more address in the app. Read how to change a wallet address here.

2. You use different Telegram accounts, with different TON Space addresses.

3. You look at a Wallet address, not a TON Space one. The address that gets bound to apps is visible in the TON Space tab of @wallet main page. Read about the differences between Wallet and TON Space here.


2) If current and linked TON Space addresses match, but the transaction still cannot be created, try to reconnect TON Space. To do this, you need to enter the app, unbind the address via a special button, and then to rebind it once again. If you face issues in the process, contact the app support for further assistance.

I connected an app to my TON Space, but now I don’t see it among the connected apps in TON Space. What could be the issue

Check the device from which you accessed ‘Connected Apps’ in TON Space.

The connection will only be visible on the device where it was set up earlier.

For example, if you connect the app on your smartphone, it will be visible exclusively on your smartphone, and not on your PC or a browser.

If you use the correct device, but still do not see the connection in ‘Connected Apps’, then you need to reconnect the wallet to the corresponding app.

I’ve connected my TON Space wallet to an app, but there’s no wallet address in the app. What should I do

Check if you see the app in question in the ‘Connected Apps’ section in TON Space settings.

If you see the app name, try to unbind it from TON Space and reconnect again. Tap on the corresponding name in ‘Connected Apps’, and then tap on ‘Disconnect’ to confirm the action. After that, reconnect the wallet on the app page.

If you do not see the app — try to reconnect the wallet.

Is it possible for anyone to access my TON Space wallet using TON Connect

It is the responsibility of a non-custodial wallet’s owner to keep the wallet secure. The owner has the only access to the wallet because they are the only party that has access to the Secret Recovery Phrase. This gives you full ownership of your assets, but also requires you to be careful while using your TON Space.

You should always check carefully any transaction confirmation requests in the wallet.

Below you can see an example of connecting the GetGems app to TON Space. This action itself doesn’t give the app permission to move funds inside the wallet.

With TON Connect, you only give an app the permission to send transaction confirmation requests to your wallet. Only you can confirm the transaction, so it’s important to check all the transfer information before sending, to avoid potential mistakes.

Below you can see an example of transaction signing in GetGems.

Also, it’s important to keep in mind that a Secret Recovery Phrase grants access to TON Space. Therefore, keep your Recovery Phrase in a safe place, accessible only to you.

I accidentally shared my Recovery Phrase with a third-party app. What should I do

In such situation, kindly replace your TON Space as quickly as possible by creating a new TON wallet.

Once you create the new wallet, write down its Recovery Phrase (don’t share it with anyone!) and immediately transfer all the funds from your TON Space to the new wallet. After doing so, you should remove the compromised TON Space from your Wallet app. You can do so via this instruction.

After removing the compromised TON Space, you can create a new TON Space and transfer funds back to it. Your new TON Space will have a new Recovery Phrase and be completely separate and safe from the one you removed.

Under no circumstances should you ever share your Recovery Phrase with anyone. There is never a technical reason to share it — if someone tries to persuade you to do so, ignore them and block their account on whichever platform they’re using to contact you.

I connected my TON Space to an unknown app. I tapped on the ‘Confirm’ button and lost my funds. Can I get them back

Once the transfer is successfully initiated, it is impossible to return any funds — as blockchain transactions are irreversible.

By tapping the ‘Confirm’ button, you confirm the transfer of funds, so please always check who you’re sending funds to, and the details of the transaction, as the amount might be different than expected. Similarly, you should never send cryptocurrency or collectibles to unknown people or services.

To keep your TON Space secure, do not connect to unverified apps and never share your Recovery Phrase or account details with anyone.

I created a TON Space account to connect to an app, but I don’t need it anymore. How can I delete it

TON Space is a non-custodial wallet for the TON blockchain. It is not possible to delete information from a blockchain.

If you do not need to use a TON Space wallet anymore, you can remove it from your Wallet account by following the instructions.

We recommend you save your Secret Recovery Phrase, so that you could access TON Space again at any time. You can also turn on email recovery, which makes it possible to log in to TON Space from the linked Telegram account without needing to input your 24-word Recovery Phrase every time. Read on how email recovery works here.
