Welcome to the world of TON Teleport. 👋
In this article, we’ll guide you through setting up a Testnet wallet on TON.
In this guide, you’ll find out how to:
get test Toncoins for minting your first tgBTC on the Testnet
use your Testnet wallet with TON Teleport BTC for test transactions
TON Teleport is currently on Testnet. Do not send real funds and don’t use mainnet.
Our colleagues at TON Space (a non-custodial wallet within Telegram) have added support for the TON test network. To switch from mainnet to testnet, go to the TON Space settings.
Setting up a TON testnet wallet is almost the same for both Tonkeeper and TON Space. Let’s continue the guide with Tonkeeper!
Use the pre-installed Tonkeeper on your mobile or PC device. In the Tonkeeper app, tap on your wallet name at the top, then select Add Wallet at the bottom. Scroll down and select Testnet Account.
Next, enter your 24-word recovery phrase (or create a new one), then tap Continue and make sure to securely save your recovery phrase.
Now that your Testnet wallet is set up, get some Test Toncoins to start minting tgBTC!
Test Toncoins have no value and are only used for testing functionality.
Open your Testnet wallet in Tonkeeper and copy your wallet address. You’ll use this to receive test Toncoins.
Open Telegram and search for the @testgiver_ton_bot.
Paste your wallet address into the bot to receive free test Toncoins for the Testnet.
You’ve set up your Testnet TON wallet with an address starting with 0Q... and received test Toncoins.
you need to install a Signet BTC wallet to work with test BTC
