How to stake TON (Gram) in Telegram

You can stake Gram without leaving Telegram. The KTON Mini App runs inside the chat app, connects to your TON wallet and stakes from 1 Gram. Here is the whole flow, plus the one wallet detail that trips people up.

Stake in Telegram in four steps

  1. 1

    Open the Mini App

    Search Telegram for @ktonio_bot or tap t.me/ktonio_bot, then open the app. Check the username letter by letter; copycat bots exist.

  2. 2

    Connect a wallet

    Tap Connect and choose Wallet in Telegram (Telegram Wallet), Tonkeeper or another TON Connect wallet. Approve the request after checking that it comes from KTON.

  3. 3

    Stake

    Enter an amount from 1 Gram and confirm. The wallet attaches about 1.15 Gram for gas and refunds what is not used.

  4. 4

    Hold KTON

    KTON arrives right away and its Gram value rises after every round. Unstake from the same Mini App whenever you like: withdraw now from the pool’s spare Gram for a 0.2% fee, or wait for the round to end (up to about 36 hours, gas only). If the pool cannot cover it, it comes back to you as KTON and you can try again.

Which wallet inside Telegram?

Wallet in Telegram holds funds in two ways: a balance the wallet service keeps for you, and a self-custody TON wallet whose keys you control. Staking apps connect through TON Connect, which works with the self-custody wallet. If your Gram sits in the custodial balance, move it to your self-custody wallet first, or use Tonkeeper.

Fees and timing

In the KTON Mini App
Minimum1 Gram (+ ~1.15 Gram gas, mostly refunded)
Fee16% of rewards; no deposit fee; waiting for the round costs only gas, withdrawing now 0.2%
Yield, last 30 days13.6% net
UnstakingNow from the pool’s spare Gram, or when the round ends (up to ~36 h)

The Mini App and app.kton.io are the same protocol with the same pool, so you can stake in one and unstake in the other.

Staying safe in Telegram

  • Only use @ktonio_bot. Links in group chats and DMs can point to lookalike bots.
  • No bot or Mini App ever needs your recovery phrase. Anyone asking for it is stealing.
  • Ignore messages offering to “convert Toncoin to GRAM”; the rename needed no action. Why.
  • Check the amount and the destination in every wallet confirmation before you approve.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stake TON in Telegram Wallet?
Telegram Wallet (Wallet in Telegram) does not run staking itself. Open a staking Mini App such as KTON’s @ktonio_bot and connect the wallet’s self-custody mode to it.
Is the KTON Mini App the same as app.kton.io?
Yes. Both talk to the same audited KTON pool on TON, so positions and withdrawals are the same either way.
How much can I earn staking in Telegram?
The same as anywhere else in KTON: 13.6% a year net over the last 30 days, measured on-chain. It changes every round. Live data.
