Wallets

## What does Wallet mean in Blockchain?

Wallet that supports the token (TON Crystal) of the Free TON blockchain is in general referred to as a cryptocurrency wallet. These kinds of wallets secure the address of the money, private (secret) and public (open) passwords for users who want to store the TON value they have with the digital method.

Each Free TON wallet exists in the blockchain system, so one app's wallet can easily transfer funds to the wallet of the other app. All transactions, balances, accounts, messages and blocks in the Free TON blockchain are available on the project website ton.live, and whatever is done on this blockchain is available for everyone to see (if one knows the message, transaction, account or block ID). Each TON electronic wallet has its own address. Address is the only thing required to receive TON Crystal funds. One can share this address anywhere without having to worry. The Public Key of your TON wallet, which can be seen by others and allows them to send Free TON funds to your wallet, is the address of the Free TON wallet. Every wallet is traditionally protected with 12 or 24 seed phrases, these seed phrases usually consist of random English words, and you can back up the wallet only with this phrase. Because of virtual piracy it is better not to store this phrase in the virtual world, (f.e on your phone, on your computer) but in a notebook or paper at home and put it in a safe place. However, some wallets do not require a 12-word phrase. Traditionally, these crypto exchanges contain TON addresses in your account. So, your account acts as a TON Crystal wallet. Usually crypto exchanges use e-mail and passwords, some use a security phone number. There are a lot of options for your safety.

## Wallet types

### Browser wallets

**TON Surf**, is a universal crypto wallet, blockchain browser and secure chat application made by the TON Labs company. Since TON Labs is a core developer of the Free TON blockchain, we could describe this wallet as the official one, but using the word "official" in a decentralized project is not recommended and for this reason a few other wallets will be shown. It is the most popular wallet among Free TON users. It is very simple to use:

* Go to the website ton.surf
* Open the application
* Read and accept the Declaration of Decentralization
* Create a PIN code and confirm it

(don’t forget to back up the “master password” (12-word seed phrase) which is located on the main page)

### Wallet applications

Firston slogan:

`Through staking`

`We preserve blockchain networks and freedom.`

`We help to create`

`Free world for people.`

`A B2C service is also provided.`

#### Gram Wallet.

All codes and documents of this completely open source application are on the Github website available for downloading. However, Gram wallet works only on the testnet2 network (test network). It is useful for developers and testers because it uses fake (test) money instead of real money.

Links for downloading the Gram Wallet:

* MacOS: https://ton.org/apps/wsetup.0.9.8.dmg
* Windows: https://ton.org/apps/wsetup.0.9.8.exe
* Linux: https://ton.org/apps/wsetup.0.9.8.tar.xz

After installation a window opens which recommends creating a digital wallet. After that, the user sees a 24-word phrase which he or she has to store in a safe place. Immediately after that, the system will select three random numbers and ask to confirm the corresponding words. When restoring the wallet or installing it on another platform, you will need to enter the complete 24 secret words so don't lose them, it's your key. Next, the user must find a password that will be used to confirm transactions. As in Telegram you can have several wallets at the same time on the same device or on different devices with different operating systems.

#### NG Wallet.

It is an application of Chinese fork based on testnet after the TON team had to cancel its own project. This application does not work on the mainnet.

At the start of the Free TON project, the former TON Chinese community criticized the Free TON team for launching the beta network based on their development of TON. They insulted the Free TON team and even called the TON Crystal token "shitcoin".

### Exchanges

This bot on Telegram is a useful wallet bot with a peer-to-peer (p2p) exchange embedded within the communication app where you can securely buy and sell cryptocurrency tokens, store them and transfer them for a small fee. The Chatex team refer to their own project as "neobank".

Even though there are a lot of good features of Chatex, there are some disadvantages as well that should be mentioned:

* One of the conditions for trading on the bot is an exchange point with a 1000  $ volume. Normal users who want to trade fiat money can not create an ad themselves, however, they can trade with other people who have ads.
* Huge commissions for withdrawing money from the bot. Transferring cryptocurrency from a bot to another application or crypto exchange requires a commission, which can scare off small traders and poor users, on the other hand, there are exchanges where the commission is even higher. Up-to-date information about commissions for withdrawal can be found in the bot, it may change.

#### TONOS-CLI.

This is a command line interface utility which can also manage assets on the TON blockchain. TONOS-CLI (TON operating system command-line interface) is command line interface utility software designed to work with the TON blockchain.

To use TONOS-CLI, firstly, the files must be distributed on the computer. Installation instructions and necessary explanations are located here: https://github.com/tonlabs/tonos-cli github. If you did everything correctly, then now you have the opportunity to send cryptocurrency:

* The first step is to open a command line application, then type "cd" and navigate to the folder, for example

`cd c:\tonos\target\release`

* next we connect to mainnet `tonos-cli config --url https://main.ton.dev`

(if you are working on the test network, write the testnet link instead of mainnet https://net.ton.dev).
Traditionally, TONOS-CLI is used for Multisig Wallet. Therefore, let’s demonstrate an example of the transaction:
`tonos-cli getkeypair mykeys.json "xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx"` (master password (seed phrase) which consists of 12 words in the place of the xxx), at the end we confirm the address and transaction ID`tonos-cli call XXXX confirmTransaction "{\"transactionId\":\"YYYY\"}" --abi SafeMultisigWallet.abi.json --sign mykeys.json` (XXXX for adress, for example 0:9ac7e55e91e84037b08871b5aebb85262c97bf8929f62c062865b6033865aa29, YYYY transaction ID, for example 0x6011469caf486141)

#### extraTON.

extraTON has created Free TON Decentralized bots (dapps) for user communication devices and wallets. This is not a classic wallet, it works as a browser extension. This program has become popular among Free TON users due to its easy staking feature. ExtraTON is an open source, non-commercial product. The app doesn't ask for wallet holders' keys and works through the browser extension we mentioned about earlier. It can send and receive TONs, just like any Free TON wallet. It also has the ability to write comments was also added. This plugin can run on both the main network (main.ton.dev) and the test network (net.ton.dev), so it is possible to test it on the test network before making a deposit. In January 2021, almost 500 people installed this program on their browser. On 26 February, 2021 ExtraTON has received long-term support from cyber~Congress to continue the development without compromising functionality, security or privacy. To make staking easy and useful with the ExtraTON tool, the developers have added a few columns of information:

* Name/Address. Illustrates the validator’s name or address.
* Stability. This column shows you how careful the Validator is. If the Validator skips a cycle, the stability goes down and the staking reward goes down.
* Min Stake. This shows the minimum amount of money you can stake
* Assurance. This is insurance. Just in case that something happens at the validator node, and or it does not exist at all, the penalties covered by the insurance amount will be applied. After the insurance is exhausted, debts will be made from the balance of the stake.
* Fee. The validator demonstrates how much percentage he was paid for his job. The smaller this number, the better for the user (e.g. 1%).
* Members. Shows the number of users who have invested in this validator.
* Assets. Shows how much cryptocurrency users have invested in stake.

You can see the stakes you invested in the My stakes section above. It is to name a decentralized pool in the Set Depool Name section. There is information about the application in the About area. You can also see the statistics on the main page.
