TON to BTC: Swap Gram (Toncoin) to Bitcoin, No KYC

Many people earn or receive coins on TON: payments in Telegram mini-apps, tips, rewards from games built on the chain. TON is quick and cheap for that kind of everyday use. When the goal changes to holding for longer, or to paying someone who only takes bitcoin, it makes sense to move the balance over to the Bitcoin network.

This pair does it in one step. You send Gram (GRAM), formerly Toncoin, on TON, and native BTC is paid to your Bitcoin address. No bridge is involved, and the BTC is not a wrapped token on some other chain.

The quote comes from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets and floats until your TON deposit confirms, which takes under a minute. After that, most swaps finish within minutes, and the Bitcoin payout then needs one to three blocks.

The deposit for this pair is the native coin of TON. Keeper and My Wallet also hold jettons, tokens that live on TON such as Notcoin or USDT on TON, and they appear in the same list right next to GRAM. Sending a jetton to this deposit address is not the same as sending GRAM, because the swap is set up for the native coin only.

Choose GRAM (older wallet versions may still label it TON or Toncoin), enter the exact amount from the box and paste the deposit address. Leave a little GRAM behind. The transfer fee is paid in GRAM by your wallet, and with nothing left for it the transaction cannot go through.

If what you hold is a jetton and you want bitcoin, use its own pair, such as NOT to BTC.

The sender field is the TON address your GRAM leaves from, and it is where a refund goes. If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. That only helps if the address is one you control.

This matters on TON more than on most chains, because many people keep their coins in wallets built into apps or in exchange accounts. A withdrawal from either comes from a shared address that belongs to the service, and a refund sent there may never reach you. Move the GRAM to Keeper or My Wallet first, then send the deposit from there and enter that address.

Tonviewer lists each transfer by address, so you can confirm the deposit left the wallet you entered. Copy the address your wallet displays, UQ or EQ, without editing it.

Read the confirmation row to see where the time goes on this pair. The deposit on TON confirms in under a minute, so the wait on this pair sits almost entirely on the Bitcoin side, where a block arrives about every ten minutes. Both coins pay their own network fees, so once the BTC lands you can move it on without holding any second coin. Keep the TON wallet open until the payout is done, in case you need the deposit hash for support.

Any standard Bitcoin address works for the payout. Native SegWit addresses start with bc1q, Taproot addresses with bc1p, nested SegWit with 3 and legacy ones with 1. Newer wallets default to bc1 addresses, which usually cost less to spend from later.

Sparrow and Electrum on desktop, or a hardware wallet such as a Ledger or Trezor, are good homes for BTC you plan to keep. Generate a fresh receive address for the swap, paste it whole, and make sure it belongs to a wallet whose recovery phrase you still have.

When you move the BTC later, the Bitcoin network fee depends on how busy the network is and on how many separate payments your wallet has to combine. Collecting many small receipts in one wallet over time can make a later send more expensive, so fewer, larger swaps are easier to spend from.

The exchange box shows the BTC you will get after fees for the GRAM you enter, and the reference rate beside it gives 1 TON in BTC at market prices, before fees. You will find the pair's minimum and maximum in the box too. Because the rate floats until the deposit confirms, check the quote just before you send.

Open the status page for your swap ID to follow progress. The BTC payout appears on mempool.space under your address as soon as it is broadcast, then gains confirmations.

If the GRAM has left your wallet on Tonviewer and the status page has not moved for a long time, email support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the TON transaction hash. There is no account and no ID check, since GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange. Going the other way is BTC to TON.
