WalletConnect, the connectivity layer for the financial internet, today announced it will carry out a full integration with TON (The Open Network), bringing one of the fastest-growing Layer-1 ecosystems to hundreds of wallets and giving access to TON defi to institutional clients.
This integration enables users to access TON dApps directly from WalletConnect-compatible wallets that previously lacked native support. The integration gives millions of new users access and significantly increases network liquidity and accessibility.
“WalletConnect’s mission is to make onchain access seamless, secure, and universal,” said Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect. “Integrating TON brings one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding ecosystems in crypto to our global network, bridging users, wallets, and institutions under a single open standard. It’s a major step toward true interoperability and the next phase of onchain adoption.”
At launch, Fireblocks and SafePal will be among the first to leverage the integration, bringing both retail and institutional access to the TON Ecosystem.
Through Fireblocks’ 2,400+ institutional clients, users can now securely interact with TON DeFi, participating in liquid staking, liquidity pools, and other onchain products. This marks the first time compliant, institutional-grade access has been enabled at scale for TON DeFi.
Glenn Brown, Vice President of Business Development at TON Foundation, added, “This integration marks a defining milestone for TON. By connecting through WalletConnect, we’re making it easier than ever for users, wallets, and institutions to access TON’s fast-growing ecosystem. As activity and liquidity continue to surge, this collaboration strengthens TON’s position as the blockchain powering the next generation of apps built for Telegram’s global audience.”
TON currently hosts a stablecoin market cap of approximately $850 million, with almost $5 million in daily DEX volume and $45 million traded weekly, a liquidity base that continues to grow as more applications and users join the ecosystem. Native DEX platforms such as STON.fi, DeDust, and TONCO are driving much of this activity as the ecosystem rapidly matures.
TON has seen momentum in 2025, with daily active addresses growing by over 3,000%, powered by Telegram’s 1 billion-strong user base and the viral adoption of TON-based mini-apps. WalletConnect’s integration now creates a seamless pathway for these users to connect via hundreds of compatible wallets, further accelerating adoption and liquidity inflows.
Ezra Solomon, Head of Blockchain and Staking Strategy at Fireblocks, commented, “Institutional demand for exposure to TON has grown rapidly, and WalletConnect’s integration makes it easier than ever for our clients to access it securely. We’re excited to open the door to this next phase of institutional participation in the TON ecosystem.”
Veronica Wong, SafePal CEO, added, “With TON’s massive user base through Telegram, this integration gives millions of new users instant access to the onchain economy from the wallets they already trust. SafePal has always focused on breaking down barriers to entry for everyday users in the most secure and trustworthy way - connecting to TON through WalletConnect extends that mission.”
TON integration marks the continued expansion of the WalletConnect Network. WalletConnect currently supports Ethereum Mainnet, EVM chains, Solana, and Bitcoin. The integration is also expected to boost Connections; currently, WalletConnect has surpassed 365M+ connections across 76K+ apps and 700+ wallets.
