TON introduces easy staking with just 10 tokens

Telegram’s native blockchain adds an easy-to-use staking feature for exchanges and custodians.

TON holders can now stake tokens with as little as 10 TON and earn 4.7% annually.

TON holders will soon be able to stake their tokens with minimal effort, thanks to a new service offering 4.7% annual rewards. Developed by P2P.org and Ton Whales, the solution lets users stake with just 10 TON while offering institutional-grade security.

The service is aimed at custodians and exchanges and will be available through a widget compatible with all TON Connect-supported wallets. Funds will be automatically allocated across network validators, removing the need for complex manual setup by intermediaries.

Backed by Telegram’s expanding crypto ecosystem, TON has become the only blockchain officially integrated into the messaging platform’s apps. Over 156 million wallets are active, with over $2 billion worth of TON currently staked.

Users earn TON via in-app games and services and can spend it on Telegram.

Ton Whales plans to launch a staking-linked bank card this year, while tools are also in development to let early investors earn rewards on locked tokens. Despite growing adoption, many TON-powered apps have struggled to maintain user interest beyond initial financial incentives.
