Wallet is the official cryptocurrency wallet built into Telegram. It lets you send and receive TON, USDT, and Bitcoin to anyone with a Telegram account, with no addresses or seed phrases to manage if you do not want to.
Wallet is non-custodial by default for advanced users, and offers a custodial mode for users who want a simpler experience similar to a regular banking app. It is one of the largest wallets in the world by active users, thanks to Telegram's billion-strong user base.
