How to move
- 1
Get Gram back from tsTON
In the Tonstakers app, unstake. Its instant option pays from a reserve while it has liquidity; otherwise Gram arrives when the round ends. You can also swap tsTON for Gram on a TON DEX; check the price impact for your amount first.
- 2
Keep a little Gram for gas
Staking in KTON attaches about 1.15 Gram for gas and refunds what is not used, so keep a bit more than you plan to stake.
- 3
Stake in KTON
Open KTON on the web or in Telegram, connect the same wallet and stake from 1 Gram. KTON arrives straight away and starts earning from the next round.
When to stay with tsTON
- You need to move large amounts out in minutes: KTON pays only small withdrawals instantly, from the Gram it keeps aside; the rest arrives at the end of the round, up to about 36 hours.
- You use tsTON across TON DeFi: KTON is focused on staking and is not offered for lending or farming.
- Your amount is small enough that the switching cost is larger than the yearly difference.
