Interested in bridging to The Open Network (TON)? Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Setting up a TON wallet
First, you'll need to set up a TON wallet. Did you know that if you have a Telegram account, you already have a TON wallet?
A crypto wallet is a digital tool that allows users to securely store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies. It stores the private keys needed to access and manage the cryptocurrencies stored on the blockchain.
In the DEX context It's necessary to use a non-custodial wallet, but we will shortly describe both types.
Custodial wallets
Custodial wallets are managed by a third party, similar to a bank account.
Examples:
Built-in Telegram wallet or other TG bots
Any CEX (centralized exchange)
Any wallet that offers you to register by email and sign in with login and password
Non-custodial wallets
Non-custodial wallets are self-hosted, meaning you control your own private keys. Non-custodial wallets offer more security and privacy but require more responsibility from a user.
Examples:
Built-in Telegram wallet with TON Space enabled
❗You need a non-custodial wallet to trade on DeDust.io (or any other DEX)
Acquiring TON for gas fees
Next, you'll need to acquire some TON to use for gas fees. There are several options depending on your experience level.
Newcomer
Experienced
❗When withdrawing from a CEX to your wallet, you don't need a memo, but if you send TON from your wallet to a CEX, be sure to include the memo in the transaction comments.
