How to track TON wallets (and why it is different)
TON wallets have two address spellings, jettons instead of ERC-20s, and a habit of starting life inside Telegram. Tracking them is still one paste.
TON is the chain most people acquired by accident. A Telegram wallet appeared, an airdrop landed, a game paid out, and suddenly there is a balance on a network you never consciously chose. Accidental or not, it is money, and money belongs in your portfolio total.
Two spellings, one account
The first TON surprise: the same account has more than one address spelling. The raw form is a workchain and hash; the friendly form is base64, and it comes in bounceable and non-bounceable flavors that look different but point at the same wallet. If you have seen an EQ address and a UQ address that seem unrelated, they can be the same account wearing two coats. A good tracker resolves the spelling and reads the account behind it.
Jettons, not ERC-20s
TON’s token standard is the jetton, and it works differently under the hood: each holder gets their own jetton wallet contract rather than a row in one big contract’s ledger. You do not need to care about the plumbing, but it explains why generic EVM tools see nothing on TON: the data model is genuinely different, and reading it takes native support, not an adapter.
What a TON wallet holds
- Gram, the native balance that pays for everything on the chain, called Toncoin until the June 2026 rename.
- Jettons: stablecoins, project tokens, the airdrops that started half these wallets.
- Staking via pools, where Gram is delegated to validators through a pool contract and may earn rewards.
- NFTs, which on TON include Telegram usernames and numbers, some of them worth real money.
Reading it in TrueHold
Paste the friendly address from any TON wallet, Tonkeeper, the self-custodial wallet in Telegram, hardware, and TrueHold reads Gram and jetton balances into your portfolio, next to your EVM wallets, Tron and exchanges. Watch-only, as always: an address grants nothing except the ability to see what the chain already publishes. The full setup lives on the TON portfolio tracker page. For USDT on Tron, see how to track a Tron wallet.
Frequently asked questions
Which TON address format should I paste?
The friendly base64 one your wallet displays. Bounceable or non-bounceable both resolve to the same account; the tracker’s job is to read through the spelling.
Can I track my Telegram wallet?
The self-custodial one, yes: it has a normal TON address, so copy it from the wallet interface and paste it, and nothing connects to your Telegram account itself. Balances on the custodial side of Wallet in Telegram are held by the service, so no address of yours shows them on chain.
Is Toncoin the same as Gram?
Yes. On 15 June 2026 Toncoin was renamed Gram and its ticker changed from TON to GRAM, after a community vote. Balances, addresses and contracts stayed as they were, and the network is still called TON.
Why does my EVM tracker show nothing on TON?
TON is not EVM-compatible: different addresses, different token standard, different data model. Reading it requires native TON support, which is why chain coverage lists matter.
