Tonkeeper vs MyTonWallet vs Tonhub vs Wallet: 2026 comparison

If you’re choosing a TON wallet for the first time, the decision essentially narrows to four names: Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Tonhub and Wallet in Telegram. Every other wallet on the market is either specialised (Antarctic, xRocket — Telegram-native) or niche. This piece compares the four across 12 key criteria with practical takeaways for different use cases.

TL;DR — pick by scenario

• Learning, testing, under 100 USDT → Wallet in Telegram. Lowest friction.
• Active DeFi/NFT user → Tonkeeper. Best ecosystem compatibility.
• Want open source and control → MyTonWallet. Fully open, CertiK audit.
• Backup account, simplicity → Tonhub. Stable and time-tested.
• Large long-term storage → Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet + Ledger.

Now the criteria in detail.

Evaluation framework

We compare across 12 dimensions grouped into three blocks:

Security: key custody, hardware support (Ledger), audits, recovery.

Compatibility: OS support, TON Connect, jetton/NFT, multi-account.

Accessibility: open source, RU availability, fees, UX.

1. Key custody model

Wallet	Type	Where keys live
Tonkeeper	Non-custodial	On-device (Keychain / Android Keystore)
MyTonWallet	Non-custodial	On-device, optionally in browser
Tonhub	Non-custodial	On-device
Wallet	Custodial	Wallet servers (St. Vincent)

This is the single most important distinction. The first three are real self-custody — you hold the seed phrase, the service can neither freeze nor lose your coins (but also can’t recover them if you lose the phrase). Wallet behaves like a mini-exchange — convenient, but legally a service with its own KYC and the right to freeze accounts.

2. OS support

OS	Tonkeeper	MyTonWallet	Tonhub	Wallet
iOS	Yes	Yes	Yes	Via Telegram
Android	Yes	Yes	Yes	Via Telegram
macOS	Yes (Pro)	Yes	No	Via Telegram Desktop
Windows	Yes	Yes	No	Via Telegram Desktop
Linux	Yes	Yes	No	Via Telegram Desktop
Chrome ext	Yes	Yes	No	No
Firefox ext	No	Yes	No	No
Edge ext	No	Yes	No	No

MyTonWallet is the only wallet with Firefox and Edge extensions. Tonhub is mobile-only, which makes it unsuitable for desktop DeFi workflows. Wallet is formally available wherever Telegram runs, but that’s just different UIs over the same custodial service.

3. Jetton support

All four wallets support TEP-74 jettons — the baseline standard, without which TON is unusable. Differences are in details:

• Tonkeeper — auto-detects popular jettons via curated list, hides suspicious ones (anti-scam).
• MyTonWallet — manual add by address, separate tabs for NFT and jettons, spam filter.
• Tonhub — basic display, NFT features are weaker.
• Wallet — supports only an allow-list (TON, USDT, NOT, DOGS, MAJOR and a few others); arbitrary jettons can’t be added.

If you plan to deal with low-liquidity jettons or participate in airdrops, Wallet won’t fit due to its closed list.

4. NFT support

Wallet	Browse	Transfer	List on Getgems
Tonkeeper	Full	Yes	Via TON Connect
MyTonWallet	Full	Yes	Via TON Connect
Tonhub	Basic	Yes	View only
Wallet	Telegram Gifts only	Gifts only	No

Wallet rolled out Telegram Gifts (upgraded collectibles) display in 2026 — useful, but it doesn’t show regular Getgems collections. For serious NFT work, Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet only.

5. Ledger (hardware) support

Wallet	Ledger Nano S+	Ledger Nano X	Ledger Stax
Tonkeeper	Yes	Yes	Yes
MyTonWallet	Yes	Yes	Yes
Tonhub	No	No	No
Wallet	No (custodial)	No	No

Only Tonkeeper and MyTonWallet integrate with Ledger directly. Tonhub announced plans for 2026 but no release yet — verify on official site. If you already own a Ledger or plan to buy one, the choice narrows to two.

6. Fees

Network fees on TON are protocol-fixed — all four wallets pay the same ≈0.005–0.05 TON per ordinary transaction. The difference appears only in built-in swaps:

Wallet	Swap fee	Routing
Tonkeeper	≈0.3–0.5%	STON.fi / DeDust
MyTonWallet	0.875% on top	Built-in aggregator
Tonhub	No built-in swap	—
Wallet	≈0.5–1%	Internal AMM

Wallet takes a bit more but lets you buy TON for RUB via P2P without leaving Telegram. For one-off swaps the difference is trivial; for active DeFi it adds up.

7. UX and onboarding

Tonkeeper — the most polished interface, aimed at new users. Tutorials and a Telegram support channel.

MyTonWallet — slightly more technical UX but logical. Suits users who actually open source files.

Tonhub — minimalist, no clutter. Good for “just a wallet”.

Wallet — UX like a banking app. Lowest possible entry barrier.

8. Audits

Wallet	Audit	Date
Tonkeeper	Internal + partial third-party (Trail of Bits)	2024
MyTonWallet	CertiK (full)	2024
Tonhub	Internal	—
Wallet	Not published	—

MyTonWallet is the only one whose full audit is public. Tonkeeper partially audited critical cryptography. Tonhub relies on open source and community review. Wallet is opaque, as with any custodial platform — you trust the company, not an audit.

9. Open source

Component	Tonkeeper	MyTonWallet	Tonhub	Wallet
Mobile code	Partial	Full	Full	Closed
Web extension	Full	Full	—	—
Desktop	Full	Full	—	—

For security-paranoid users the order is: MyTonWallet > Tonhub > Tonkeeper > Wallet.

10. Availability in Russia

As of May 2026, Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet and Tonhub install from App Store and Google Play without a VPN for RU accounts. Wallet is formally accessible inside Telegram, but crypto features (P2P, swap) have been gated for accounts with RU phone numbers since spring 2025 — full access requires an international Telegram region.

11. Recovery

Scenario	Tonkeeper	MyTonWallet	Tonhub	Wallet
Lost phone, have seed	Recover in a minute	Same	Same	Sign in via Telegram
Lost seed, have phone	Copy from settings	Same	Same	Seed not needed
Lost both	Funds lost	Funds lost	Funds lost	Recover via support
Telegram account hijacked	No impact (if not linked)	No impact	No impact	Funds at risk

Wallet offers support-based recovery but is tied to a Telegram account — if it’s hijacked, funds are at risk. More: How to protect your Telegram from takeover.

12. Multi-account and TON Connect

Wallet	Multiple accounts	TON Connect 2.0	Watch-only
Tonkeeper	Up to 10	Yes, full	Yes
MyTonWallet	No hard cap	Yes	Yes
Tonhub	Up to 3	Yes, with caveats	No
Wallet	One	No	—

TON Connect is the standard for authorising into dApps without exposing the seed. Without it, working with TON DeFi is effectively impossible. Wallet deliberately skips it to keep users inside its own AMM.

Practical recommendations

• If you’re just entering TON — install Tonkeeper, get a feel for the UI with a small amount, back up the seed on paper.
• If you already have crypto experience — MyTonWallet gives more control and cross-platform reach.
• If you value pure simplicity and don’t plan DeFi — Wallet in Telegram is handy for small transfers.
• Never use Wallet as a “main” vault — it’s a service, not a wallet in the cryptographic sense.
• Parallel setup: Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet for activity + Ledger in cold mode for savings.

There is no universal “best wallet” answer. Different scenarios call for different tools. The most common mistake is trying to pick one wallet for everything. In practice, an active TON user typically runs two or three: a main one, an experiment one for DeFi, and Wallet in Telegram for fast transfers.
