BTC to TON: Swap Bitcoin to Gram (Toncoin) Without KYC

TON is the blockchain closely tied to Telegram, used for mini-apps, payments and transfers between users. Its native coin was called Toncoin until a community vote in June 2026 renamed it Gram (GRAM). This page keeps the TON ticker because that is what people search for, but the coin you receive is the same one, now listed as GRAM.

Bitcoin holders usually come here because they want to use something on TON: pay inside a mini-app, tip a channel, or hold the coin itself. Bitcoin cannot be spent on TON directly, so the swap turns BTC on the Bitcoin network into native GRAM on TON. There is no bridge and no wrapped bitcoin.

Native GRAM pays its own fees on TON. Unlike a token payout, nothing else needs to sit in the wallet before you can send the coins on once they arrive.

The payout goes to a TON address you own. Keeper (formerly Tonkeeper) and My Wallet (formerly MyTonWallet) are wallets where you hold the recovery phrase, so the address is truly yours. Set one up, store the phrase offline, and copy the address from the wallet's receive page.

Some wallets built into apps work differently: they are accounts run by a company rather than keys you hold, and anything paid to them follows that company's rules. For a swap payout, a wallet where you control the phrase is the better destination, because nobody else decides what happens to the coins.

Your TON wallet does not need any history to accept the payout. Its contract is set up with its first outgoing transfer, and a small part of the GRAM you receive covers that fee, so you need no starting balance.

TON addresses in their usual form are 48 characters long. Most start with UQ or EQ. Both forms point to the same account; the prefix only tells a sender how to treat a transfer the wallet cannot accept. Current wallets show the UQ form for receiving, so copy whatever your wallet shows and paste it unchanged.

Do not shorten it, retype it or change the prefix by hand. Compare the opening and closing characters with the wallet before you continue. Wallets also offer a QR code, and scanning it is fine as long as the result is the same 48 characters.

Other errors come from the clipboard. A Bitcoin address pasted into the payout field is the most common one. Another is a Telegram username typed in place of a wallet address. A username is not a TON address and cannot receive this payout, so always use the address from the wallet itself.

On the sending side, use Sparrow, Electrum, a hardware wallet or another Bitcoin wallet you control, and enter its bc1, 3 or 1 address as the sender. That address is where the BTC goes back if the swap cannot finish, so it has to be yours.

Bitcoin confirms the deposit in one to three blocks. That is the slow half of this pair; TON confirms the payout in under a minute once it is sent. Your wallet's fee rate decides how soon a block picks up the deposit, and you can watch its progress on mempool.space.

Send the exact amount the box shows in one transaction. Avoid paying the deposit straight out of an exchange withdrawal. The sender would then be the exchange's own address rather than yours, which breaks the refund path.

The box is the calculator for this pair. Enter any BTC amount and it shows the GRAM you receive after fees, quoted from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. The reference rate next to it shows 1 BTC in TON at market prices, before fees, which is handy for comparing.

The quote is a floating rate. It follows the market until the Bitcoin deposit confirms, and once the deposit confirms most swaps finish within minutes. The minimum and maximum for this pair are in the box too.

Both coins move in price, and not always together. A quote from an hour ago may not match the one you get now, so look at the box right before you send. If you plan to come back to bitcoin soon, remember that a round trip pays fees twice and is exposed to two sets of price moves.

If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered, which on this page is your Bitcoin address. Each swap also has a status page under its swap ID, and the payout can be checked on Tonviewer by pasting your TON address.

When the deposit shows as confirmed on Bitcoin and the status page has not moved for a long while, email support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the Bitcoin transaction ID. Hold off on sending more BTC while support looks into it.

No account, email or ID is involved at any step; GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange. To come back from TON later, use TON to BTC. The Gram exchange page lists every pair with GRAM on either side, including jettons such as Notcoin.
