How to Find Your TON Wallet Address in Tonkeeper

Accessing Your Wallet Address Interface

1. Launch the Tonkeeper mobile application on your iOS or Android device.

2. Ensure you are logged into your existing wallet or have completed the seed phrase recovery process.

3. Navigate to the main dashboard screen where your TON balance is displayed prominently.

4. Tap the account icon located in the top-left corner of the screen — this triggers a dropdown or slide-in panel showing wallet details.

5. Within that panel, locate and tap the “Copy address” button adjacent to a string of alphanumeric characters beginning with “EQ”.

Understanding the Address Format

1. Every valid TON wallet address follows the standard format: a 48-character base64url-encoded string prefixed with “EQ”.

2. This prefix indicates the address belongs to the TON mainnet and uses the standard workchain ID (0).

3. The full address encodes both the workchain identifier and the public key hash, making it cryptographically unique and non-reversible.

4. Addresses generated from the same seed phrase remain consistent across all compatible TON wallets, including Tonkeeper, OpenMask, and MyTonWallet.

5. No checksum mechanism is embedded directly in the address string; validation relies on decoding and verifying the internal structure via TON’s address parser.

Verifying Address Integrity

1. Paste the copied address into any official TON blockchain explorer such as tonviewer.com or tonscan.org.

2. Confirm the explorer displays “Valid address” alongside transaction history and balance information.

3. Cross-check the first six and last four characters against what appears in Tonkeeper’s interface to guard against clipboard hijacking.

4. If the explorer returns “Invalid address” or fails to resolve, re-copy the address manually without extra spaces or line breaks.

5. Avoid using third-party tools that request private keys or seed phrases during verification — legitimate explorers never require them.

Using Address for External Transfers

1. When receiving TON or Jettons, share only the full EQ-prefixed address — never share your mnemonic phrase or private key.

2. For transfers initiated outside Tonkeeper, ensure the sending platform supports TON’s native address format and recognizes workchain 0.

3. Some centralized exchanges still list TON under legacy ticker names like “TONCOIN”; verify the deposit network is explicitly labeled “TON” or “The Open Network”.

4. Transactions sent to an invalid or mistyped address will be irreversibly lost — there is no built-in address correction or recovery protocol on-chain.

5. Always execute a minimal test transaction before sending large amounts to confirm end-to-end compatibility and correct address resolution.

Troubleshooting Common Display Issues

1. If the address does not appear in the account panel, force-close and relaunch Tonkeeper to refresh the UI state.

2. On devices with biometric lock enabled, authenticate immediately after opening the app to unlock full wallet functionality.

3. Check for pending updates in your device’s app store — outdated versions may render the address field blank or misaligned.

4. If using a hardware wallet integration, ensure the connected device is unlocked and authorized for address export.

5. Resetting the app cache through device settings may resolve persistent display glitches without affecting wallet data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I generate multiple TON addresses from one Tonkeeper wallet?A: Tonkeeper generates a single deterministic address per seed phrase on mainnet workchain 0. Additional addresses require separate wallets or use of smart contract-based address derivation, which is not natively supported in the current UI.

Q: Why does my address change when I switch to testnet?A: Testnet uses workchain -1 and different network parameters, resulting in a distinct EQ-prefixed address that is incompatible with mainnet transactions.

Q: Is it safe to post my TON address publicly?A: Yes — the address itself contains no private information. However, doing so may expose your balance and transaction history to onlookers via public explorers.

Q: What happens if I send TON to a Telegram username instead of an address?A: Telegram usernames are resolved via TonDNS only when interacting with verified bots or services supporting @-based resolution. Direct wallet transfers require the full EQ address.
