Swap Bitcoin to Toncoin. No account, no KYC, no waiting room.
Pick BTC as your "send" coin, paste your TON wallet address, and hit swap. CoinVast finds you a rate (0.5% floating or 1.0% fixed spread), hands you a deposit address, and once Bitcoin confirms your transaction (2 confirmations, roughly 20 minutes), your TON arrives in your wallet. Minimum send is 0.0002 BTC. On the TON side, 1 confirmation is all it takes, and because the TON network moves like it's late for something, that part is over before you finish reading this sentence. The whole thing wraps up in 20 to 30 minutes, and nobody asks for your passport, your selfie, or your mother's maiden name.

No account · Deposits screened before exchange, never frozen after
Bitcoin is the savings account that nobody can freeze. Toncoin is the crypto that lives inside a chat app used by a billion people. Both are doing something right, but they couldn't be more different in what they're good at.
TON was built to power Telegram. That means wallets baked into the messenger, mini apps you open without leaving a conversation, social payments you send like stickers, and DeFi tools that look like regular apps instead of NASA dashboards. Telegram crossed the billion user mark and kept going, and all of those humans now have a blockchain in their pocket whether they realize it or not. That's the kind of distribution most crypto projects write about in a whitepaper and then never actually achieve.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, is fantastic at being valuable and sitting still. Phenomenal qualities. But when you want to tip a friend inside a group chat, pay for a game item, stake tokens in a DeFi protocol that doesn't charge you five bucks per click, or just use crypto like actual money, BTC alone won't get you there. The BTC to TON pair exists because people figured out the obvious move: store value in Bitcoin, rotate a slice into TON, and suddenly you have a front row seat to the fastest growing app ecosystem in crypto.
Swapping shouldn't require a background check. CoinVast handles BTC to TON through a non custodial flow. You keep your keys, you skip the compliance theater, and your Toncoin shows up before your coffee gets cold.
BTC → TON, by the numbers
- You send
- Bitcoin (BTC) on the Bitcoin network.
- You receive
- Toncoin (TON) on the TON network, at an address you control.
- Deposit confirmations
- 2 on Bitcoin. At roughly 10-minute blocks, that is about 20 minutes of waiting before the exchange starts.
- Minimum swap
- 0.0002 BTC. Below that, network fees would eat too much of the swap to be worth it.
- Spread
- 0.5%, printed on the quote next to the payout network fee. There is no deposit fee.
- Typical total time
- About 20 to 35 minutes from sending your BTC to TON arriving at your address.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Three steps. One of them is just waiting.
- 01
Set the amount, paste your TON address
Choose how much BTC you are sending. The card quotes your TON payout with the spread and network fee already counted in. Paste the TON address the payout should land at, plus an optional BTC refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
- 02
Send one BTC payment
You get a deposit address on the Bitcoin network. Send your BTC to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.0002 BTC. No account, no email, nothing to install.
- 03
Watch the order page
Your deposit needs 2 confirmations on Bitcoin, about 20 minutes. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send TON to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
Why people swap BTC into Toncoin
Telegram integration is the headline act. TON isn't just another Layer 1 hoping somebody will build on it. It's the blockchain wired directly into a messenger that more than a billion people already use every day. Mini apps for games, payments, trading, tickets, and about a hundred other things run on TON inside Telegram. If you want to participate, you need TON in your wallet. Bitcoin can't help you there.
Mini apps are the second reason, and they deserve their own paragraph because the growth is borderline absurd. Developers are shipping Telegram mini apps at a pace that makes app stores look sleepy. Play to earn games, decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, tipping bots, subscription tools, and social finance experiments all run on TON and live inside Telegram conversations. Every one of them needs TON for gas, for payments, or for both. A quick BTC to TON swap is how Bitcoin holders join that party.
Staking and DeFi round out the practical reasons. TON uses proof of stake, so holding Toncoin means you can stake it and earn yield without wrapping, bridging, or performing three rituals at midnight. DeFi on TON is expanding with lending, liquidity pools, and DEXs that actually feel usable because transaction fees are basically a rounding error. Bitcoin doesn't offer any of that natively. Swapping a portion of your BTC into TON puts your capital to work instead of watching it sit there looking impressive but doing nothing.
Speed and fees matter for daily use. TON processes transactions in seconds with costs so low you might genuinely forget they exist. Every mini app interaction, every social payment, every game move costs a tiny fraction of a TON. Compare that to Bitcoin's on chain fees, and you'll understand why people park their spending money in TON and keep the savings account in BTC.
Portfolio diversification is the final piece. Bitcoin is a macro asset. TON is a bet on Telegram becoming the WeChat of crypto, a superapp with a blockchain backbone serving a billion plus users. They have completely different risk profiles, different upside stories, and different reasons to exist. Owning both means you believe in storing value AND in spending it through the most widely used messenger on the planet.
BTC to TON, asked and answered
What is the minimum amount of BTC I can swap for TON on CoinVast?
0.0002 BTC. That's a few dollars depending on where Bitcoin is sitting today. Enough to test the entire flow without putting anything meaningful at risk. Send the minimum, watch the TON appear in your wallet, nod approvingly, then come back with a bigger number when you're ready.
How long does a BTC to TON swap take on CoinVast?
Bitcoin needs 2 confirmations before CoinVast processes the swap, which usually takes around 20 minutes. After that, TON's network handles its side in 1 confirmation, and because TON confirms in a few seconds, that part is basically a formality. Total time from start to Toncoin in hand is about 20 to 30 minutes. Blame Bitcoin for the wait. TON did its homework early.
Is there any KYC or account registration required?
No. CoinVast is a non custodial swap service. You provide your TON wallet address, send BTC to a deposit address, and the swap runs. No email, no account, no "please hold your ID next to your face and smile." CoinVast does run automated pre screening on transactions for compliance, but you never create a profile or hand over personal documents.
What's the difference between floating and fixed rate?
Floating rate (0.5% spread) means the final exchange rate locks when your BTC transaction confirms on the blockchain, so the TON you receive might be slightly more or less than the initial estimate. Fixed rate (1.0% spread) locks the rate the moment you create the swap, so you know exactly how much TON you'll get. Fixed costs a bit more but eliminates the guessing game. Pick floating if you like a little adventure, pick fixed if you like certainty.
Can I swap TON back to BTC on CoinVast?
Yes. The reverse pair (TON to BTC) works the same way. Minimum send is 1 TON, and since TON only needs 1 confirmation, your side of the deal is done in seconds. Then CoinVast sends the Bitcoin. Same no KYC, non custodial flow, same simplicity.
What happens if I send less than the minimum?
If you send below 0.0002 BTC, the swap can't execute. In most cases the amount can be refunded, but Bitcoin network fees for returning tiny amounts can eat into that refund significantly. Save yourself the headache: always send at or above the minimum shown on the swap page.
What wallets work for this swap?
Any wallet where you control the keys. Tonkeeper, TON Space, MyTonWallet, or any native TON wallet for the receiving side. Electrum, Sparrow, BlueWallet, Ledger, Trezor, or any Bitcoin wallet for the sending side. CoinVast doesn't care what app you use. BTC goes in, TON comes out, both sides land in wallets you own.
Why would I use TON instead of just keeping Bitcoin?
Different tools for different jobs. Bitcoin is exceptional at storing value over long time horizons. TON is exceptional at actually doing things: paying people inside Telegram, playing mini app games, staking for yield, swapping tokens on a DEX for fractions of a cent. Keeping everything in Bitcoin is like owning a vault but never spending any of the money inside it. Swapping a piece into TON gives you access to an entire app economy powered by Telegram, while your remaining BTC keeps doing what it does best.
Is TON connected to Telegram officially?
TON's history with Telegram is complicated (they broke up, got back together, it's a whole thing), but in 2026 the relationship is tight. TON wallets are integrated into Telegram, mini apps run on TON inside the messenger, and Telegram actively promotes TON based features. For practical purposes, TON is Telegram's blockchain. That integration is exactly why demand for BTC to TON swaps keeps climbing.
