What Are TON Mini Apps?

TON Mini Apps are lightweight web apps that run inside Telegram… no separate downloads, just open a bot or link and the app appears in‑chat. They use Telegram features like login, buttons, and notifications… and connect to the TON blockchain for payments, rewards, and on‑chain actions.

Why People Use Them

• Instant access inside Telegram… great for games, payments, and simple crypto tasks.

• Native login and notifications… your Telegram account handles auth and messages.

• Crypto‑friendly design… TON wallets integrate directly, so paying or claiming rewards is quick.

What You Need Before You Start

• A Telegram account on mobile or desktop… updated to the latest version.

• A TON wallet… Tonkeeper or @wallet inside Telegram both work.

• A small amount of TON for fees if the app needs on‑chain actions… many mini apps are free to open, fees apply only when you transact.

Safety Checklist

• Verify the bot username… impersonators are common. Use official links or search with care.

• Never share your seed phrase… no Mini App needs it. Only approve within your wallet.

• Start small… test with tiny amounts before bigger transfers.

• Check permissions… when connecting a wallet, review what the app is asking to do.

Troubleshooting

• App doesn’t load… update Telegram, clear cache, or try Telegram Web.

• Wallet won’t connect… confirm you’re on the right network (TON) and that the wallet app is unlocked.

• Payment stuck… check your wallet’s activity and the app’s support channel… network congestion can delay settlement briefly.
