TON: Changelly and Tonkeeper Enable Cross-Chain Deposits on 13 Chains

Changelly and Tonkeeper have partnered to allow in-wallet cross-chain deposits into TON, enabling users to move stablecoins from 13 different blockchains directly into their Tonkeeper wallet while routing and conversion are handled behind the scenes. The integration removes the need for external bridges or separate interfaces, streamlining the funding process for TON-based assets.

According to the announcement, supported networks include Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Liquid, Avalanche, NEAR, Optimism, Matic and Tezos. Users can deposit USDT, USDC or DAI from any of these chains into Tonkeeper and receive the equivalent assets on the TON network without leaving the app. Changelly’s infrastructure manages the routing and conversions automatically; Tonkeeper is reported to serve a multi-million user base.

From a market perspective, simplifying cross-chain inflows can lower friction for capital entering the TON ecosystem, particularly for stablecoin-denominated transfers used in payments and DeFi. By keeping the process inside the wallet, the partnership aims to accelerate on-ramps for users who otherwise would navigate bridges or decentralized exchanges to access TON liquidity. The immediate effect is likely an uptick in deposit activity; the magnitude will depend on overall user uptake.

In broader context, the move fits into ongoing efforts to make TON more interoperable and accessible to users across multiple chains. TON’s association with Telegram and focus on low-fee, fast transactions position it well for increased utility if cross-chain rails prove resilient. Nevertheless, protocol-level security, bridge centralization risks and regional regulatory scrutiny remain relevant considerations for institutional participants and retail users alike.

Market observers note that the short-term promotional campaign—running from April 27 to May 10, 2026 and offering entries to win Telegram Premium subscriptions—may drive trial usage, but sustainable impact will hinge on continued UX improvements, liquidity depth and developer activity on TON. Monitoring on-chain deposit volumes and stablecoin flows will be key indicators to assess whether the integration translates into lasting ecosystem growth.
