- Also available as separate iOS/Android/web apps
What Tonkeeper does
Tonkeeper is a non-custodial TON wallet with apps for iOS, Android, the web and a browser extension, and @tonkeeper is its official presence inside Telegram: a bot that opens your Tonkeeper wallet as a Mini App and doubles as a direct line to the support team for questions about TON or the wallet itself. Non-custodial means the private keys — the actual proof of ownership of your coins — are generated and stored on your own device, never on Tonkeeper's servers, so you hold TON, jettons and NFTs and connect to TON dApps through TON Connect with no company standing between you and your funds.
That independence is also the wallet's biggest risk: when you create a wallet, you get a seed phrase (usually 24 words), and that phrase is the only backup that exists. Tonkeeper has no 'forgot password' flow — if you lose the phrase, or someone else gets hold of it, the funds are gone or stolen with no way for the company to intervene. Treat it exactly like cash: write it down on paper, keep it offline, and never type it into a website or another bot, no matter how official it looks.
For anyone who wants to hold TON themselves rather than trust a custodial service like Wallet, @tonkeeper is one of the more established places to start, as long as the seed phrase is taken seriously.
How to start

Does Tonkeeper hold my funds?
No — it is non-custodial; your keys stay on your device, and Tonkeeper cannot access or recover them.
What if I lose my seed phrase?
There is no way to recover the wallet — back up the phrase offline before you deposit anything.
